Too bad I was browsing through Okayplayer's archives and stumbled upon this shocking tidbit: bassist Hub (a.k.a. Leonard Hubbard) no longer is a part of the legendary Roots crew. Apparently, his last show after 17 years with the group was on Aug. 31. I had no idea ... (and don't front like you knew about it, too.) Anyways, I wonder what his next move will be and who will be his replacement.
This is what Questlove had to say:
"So what of The Roots now? We've had the workload of about 7 groups and have been on the road since most of you were in high school (or even worse listening to your older siblings' cassettes of our first couple of albums) and sometimes opportunity knocks. (in this case it's in the form of film/tv scoring)....the show will go on (i have yet to go to those "what are we gonna do now?!?!" posts on the boards.) it went on after Rahzel, Scratch, and Ben. and it will go on.
"I say we use this moment and opportunity to raise our cyber glass and toast Hub in his new endeavors."
Thanks for gracing us with your talent, Hub. Best of luck, for reals.
