ICE CUBE: The Roots at Dobb's 6/3

I can clearly recall when The Roots used to play at the triangular intersection of South Street across from Fat Tuesday. The Book Trader was still there. I bet King Britt still worked at Tower. Now, The Legendary Roots Crew is heading back to the street where hippies meet on June 3, one day shy of their 4th annual Roots Picnic at Penn’s Landing, so to pre-jam at The Legendary Dobbs for the first time. While Wiz Khalifa, Nas (backed by The Roots), Esperanza Spalding (backed by The Roots), Ariel Pink, Man Man and Little Dragon take to the big stage on that Saturday, the Friday night arrangement promises the Crew with special appearances from ?uestlove and Black Thought along with their old pal MCs Dice Raw and Chin Chin plus the threat of good additional guests perhaps from the Picnic’s playbill. Tickets are $10. They’ll go fast. And you can’t wear Tims. Times have changed.
