Every summer, The Roots head home to Philadelphia to throw the annual Roots Picnic, a multi-layered music extravaganza packed to the gills with colorful lineups and unexpected guests. This year, the well-curated event returns to the Festival Pier on June 3 and boasts performances from artists like Solange, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Mobb Deep, PnB Rock, Fat Joe, Thundercat, Pete Rock, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and a joint headlining set from The Roots and Pharrell.
Since its inception 10 years ago, the celebrated festival has featured artists such as The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Migos, John Legend, Janelle Monae, Nas, Kid Cudi, Public Enemy, Gnarls Barkley, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Gary Clark Jr. and Rakim. The 2016 Roots Picnic welcomed headliners Future and Usher to the stage, and the audience got an unexpected performance from hometown hero Will Smith and daughter Willow as well. Watch a recap of last year’s event below.

damn bruh i just want me a tight-ass album
While you ‘real hip hop heads’ are keep hating on 21 Savage and Migos or others only because they don’t copy and paste 90s, The Legendary Roots Crew put them on their own festival stage. Grow the fuck up.
That’s cool, as long as they don’t put them on their own albums.
Yeah they not copy and pasting the 90’s, they not copy and pasting each other. Flow biting, Sound biting, lyrical Garbage Motherf*ckers. Its cool though, music is a matter of taste, you can like what you want. But dont get it twisted and say they actually talented, original or producing high quality music.

Dude they suck…those clowns shouldn’t be allowed on stage!! They can’t rhyme, it ain’t about copying and pasting old ish…show some fucking skills!!! That’s what’s wrong with bastards today, they accept anything…
Hit the nail on the head.
You are a horrible person, censoring comments you Zionist pig!
This looks like a mix of dookie and iTunes. Who put this lineup together, Stevie Wonder and Hellen Keller? Just find of bunch of turds and put them on stage.
lol @ the sea of white people attending the roots picnic. shit’s whiter than a wu tang show.
The Roots sold the fuck out, wack, ugly fucks like 21 Savage are not Hip Hop and wouldn’t even know who the Roots are. Such a shame that yet another group of talented artists have fallen victim to the mighty dollar.
