Do You Want ‘Metro’?!!!??!

It appears that, despite Citypaper’s love for The Roots, the band prefers another free local newspaper. An anonymous Metro staffer IMs:

AMS: check out all the metro boxes in the new roots video

AMS: 1:24
1:33
2:32-2:40

This would be like if Beanie Sigel had namechecked the Fishtown Star in court.

    That’s funny. Especially since they really had to make a distinct choice to put those in there.

    Was that filmed in Philadelphia or on a set? I’ve never seen the city look that clean before.
