A few tracks later, Black Thought brought Digable Planets to the stage, who performed a medley of early '90s tracks, with the Roots becoming their house band. It was a great surprise, knowing that the headlining act would be on stage all night, bringing the other acts’ songs to life in a capacity they’d never been before.
To the side of the stage, a tall man in a white baseball cap was doing full-body squats to the beat. It was too aggressive not to notice. Suddenly, he came running onto stage with two other men as Black Thought introduced The Pharcyde. The man was Fatlip, the other two were Imani and Slimkid3, three-fourths of the original Pharcyde lineup minus Bootie Brown.
With the Roots back on stage, it was the home stretch. They performed a more energetic rendition of the theme song-esque “Here I Come” from 2006’sThen, guitarist “Captain” Kirk Douglas played the intro to “You Got Me,” bringing the crowd to its feet yet again. The band’s most popular radio hit is an alternative take on romance in hip-hop, with lyrics describing two people in a relationship learning to trust and communicate.
