The last time The Roots updated a tune with a 2.0 they scored the biggest hit of their career. Fast forward to 2010 and the Illadelphian purveyors of good taste have spotted another jam to jump on–Monsters Of Folk's funkiest cut, "Dear God." In this version, Blackthought uses Jim James' cooing chorus as a canvas to paint a sobering picture of a rather hopeless future, one plagued by "hurricanes, tsunamis, assaults, and robberies, endangered species, and runnin’ out of trees." The Roots' new album, How I Got Over, arrives in stores on June 22, with or without a hit, because who needs hits when you've got classics.
