The Roots performed in Miami Beach on Oct. 8, 2008 and had one of the most bizarre surprises I’ve seen at any of their shows: Lil Wayne.
So how did Weezy sound with The Roots backing him?

Florida Gators: The Music
The University of Florida Gators are national champions in football. Four major sports championships in four years.
Music is a big part of Gator sports. To me, the most memorable and meaningful song is the Gator band’s rendition of Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al.”
John Legend on tour
John Legend is currently on tour with Estelle, and his live show is great, as seen in the above clip of “Green Light” from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The Police: Then and Now
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of The Police. The above performance of “Walking On the Moon” was from the band’s Atlanta stop on the Synchronicity tour in 1983 (yes, before I was born).
So how does it compare to performances on their recent comeback/farewell tour?
¡Mayday! – “On 2 Somth’n” (2009)
¡Mayday! caught me off guard back in 2006. I remember watching MTV Jams and seeing this dope video by some unknown rappers with Cee-Lo and DJ Craze. Then it hit me… “Is that South Beach? Are they from MIAMI?!”
It’s been love ever since.
