Root's intelligence has always been so apparent, his clever Jamaican/British slang and idioms are truly blessed in this current musical drought
Saw Roots Manuva back in 2000 at an open mic night . He got them to put in an instrumental cd of brand new second hand and proceeded to spit the whole album. Everyone in the place was like " who in the fuck is this guy"? . I have been listening to that album ever since. Left, Right .
Wowwww.... I would have loved to be there
nice!
Roots Manuva's been true since day, big up, and nice interview John
Roots one of my favourite people and this was the first time I heard him speaking. With genius comes humility.
absolutely love the album, really glad there is a doc about roots
Roots Manuva as Doctor Who? I'd pay good money to watch that
BlakeTheSnake brilliant!
haha thats actually a shout
I'd give it a chance then yeah
people slagging doran off are lost, all of these episodes are class
Doran is good. What is wrong with people?
Totally mate. He gets great chat with people, they're themselves with him. That's what we all want.
I'm from p
brand new second hand changed my life !!
Love him. So incredibly underrated ❤️
So much respect for Roots Manuva, the genuine article. And yes, Dr Who Manuva would work a treat
I could listen to Roots Manuva talk all day about anything at all.
Brilliant brilliant artist. Top guy. Lots of influence on me
What a legend! Great interview clearly John cares alot for Rodney.
Really really like that!
the rooty toots manuva.. definitely one of the masters.
Top man Rodney
i keep my soul to my soul and my soul is what i know and i do believe...
that's just PERFECT
What a legend!
great episode - Rodney's a legend.
My favourite hip hop artist of all time
Rodney is a legend. End of.
Roots Manuva would make a great Doctor for Dr Who. I'd totally watch that.
Witness the fitness was rootsy’s attempt at the Dr who theme.
King, Legend. Simple.
one of the best interviews, of any kind, that i've seen. impeccable
The pain that break me is the pain that make me
And the pain that take me is the pain that help me maintain!
wow what a top man Roots M is. South Londons finest!xx
Good to hear him talk. He's gifted.
Roots Manuva is all things to all men.
Good interviewer he meeting his idols people need to stop saying he arse kisses .. he's meeting legends and asking them questions that are very interesting
Been hooked on “Roots”since about 2004........thinking ‘bout me sitting here thinking.
Rodney is as individual as his music, he walks the line between madness and true genius.
Absolute genius and legend.
To be fair, Doran's questions are good,, despite his odd demeanour. What an affable & interesting man RM is. Not to mention talented.
Part 2 please, needed 30 minutes..
+RubyRanks Yes! Felt the same with the Viv A interview also ...
"Witness pays the bills."
:D
UK Legend
Go Roots..great atmosphere captured, great words changed.
thx for sharing.
it'd be great if he could do an episode with Aphex Twin...can't see it happening though
Oh man that would be epic.
Mate thats the dream interview
Can remember get Brand new 2nd hand when it came out. Amazing album, absolute game changer
13:50 the interviewer proves what a new jack he was in the mid 90s. The UK scene was CHOCK full of British Rap/Hip Hop artists speaking British issues from 10 years previous.
Think john was a bit different in this interview, but not in a bad way, could deffo sense them flowing well off each other's responses. Roots is a top guy.
Roots for a hero 🦸
THE MAN
John Doran has interviewed so many artists I love, (Gallagher Brothers / Roots Manuva / John Lydon / Johnny Marr / Richard Ashcroft / Gary Numan / Brian Ferry / Jimmy Page / etc.) He does such an excellent job of knowing just the right questions to ask. His choices are so good I am going to have to check out the artists he has interviewed that I don’t yet know. I wish I could request some interviews. Congo Natty (Rebel MC) / Rob B from Stereo MCS / Ginger Baker / Steve Jones / The list could go on....
Roots Manuva for the next Dr. Who!
Love this guy, great talent.
Thanks John Doran. This is my favourite British Masters to date! (Gary Numan being a close second)
Serious suggestion here: He has only made one album but Archie Marshall's 'Six Feet Beneath the Moon' has already proved him to be a 'British Master'. Its an emalgimation of everything that exemplifies modern British culture.
+Grant Howse SHUT UP, MATE. GO BACK TO FUCKIN HERTFORDSHIRE.
Roots is one of the coolest men on the planet 😎
SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE A WORD WITH THE SOUND RECORDIST ON THIS INTERVIEW
Eminent favorite rapper
Rodney dont get enough coverage.. those that know..know xx
Awfully Deep changed everything for me when I first heard it
Heal your chakras goodluck everyone love an light from liverpool England
Rodney is so beautiful as a black British man x
KING
That overlord x album is insanely good.
Remember album release at Brockwell Lido - Bang bang
I agree, Roots would make a wicked Dr Who. He just has that quintessentially britishness about him. The somewhat refined yet totally bonkers eccentricity.
That skeleton in the background is it real? 😅😀
I like the way you talk, sounds good.
Drake going on about the best rappers being in London, I bet he's never heard of this man or Rodney P...
I'm from Toronto, and Drake is considered a joke here to people that actually know music. He's just another Mylie Cyrus.
Anthony Addario What do you guys thibk of The Weeknd?
Brand new second hand
Rodney!!!! STAR.
Wonder why he did not go on with the All Things to All Men-Style, I loved that track!
Ledge!
"Dub come save me" struck me back in 2003. Cheers Roots...
andydufresne87 my college tutor gave me that for Christmas one year 🔥
"This sounds modern"
"That word.....sounds old fashioned to me"
"Well it's a mix"
🤣make your mind up Dor.
ALSO THAT FUCKIN REVERSED GUITAR THAT KEEPS FUCKING SHOWING UP
+Joe Priven but dude i love that guitar i reminds me of shot in the back of my head by moby its good! plus they dont put it too often so its quite alright!
Speaking of Big Dada, John hould interview Part Two, a true UK underground hip-hop legend (not saying Roots Manuva ISN'T a hip-hop legend!)
Witness the .............
markbarnetto SICKNESS
Pat Sharp has found his lane since Fun House, but it looks like it’s taken its toll.
I wanted to HEAR Rodney talk his genius. My man the interviewer came with his OWN head squeezing theories really over doing it. Just let The Genius TALK. Listen more - and don’t FEED outcomes to the questions by SUGGESTING your interpretation 😅
I love Roots and I was so happy to watch this interview, I was a bit annoyed though that the presenter chose the two worst songs on the album (in my opinion) to feature
Roots manuva, nuff said.
the best tunes are dont breathe out & hard bastards
They shouted "Less Marvin" in his first gig
Roots Manuka is the goat…
I put him up there with Dilla
They need to talk more, John. I don't know wether it's editing, or they actually trying to be short in answears, but the vid should be mostly them talking. Not you looking at them.
Rodney is class end of.
Brixton all day.
Defo make a good Dr Who
,witness
I think my only complaint is that he doesn’t do enough of them and why do Noel Gallagher twice?! Britain’s are insane for thinking he is a musical genius. We were buying that shite here. Anyway, make more John and get to more influencers like Viv. They need to be heard more than John Alyson for the millionth time. He (still) has nothing interesting to say. He’s the first troll before they had the internet.
Saw some people give some comments about the interviewers body language. Thought I would give my input.

Watch 3:10-3:30 of this video. It will give you some insight why he interviewer may be sitting that way.
I think it's more to do with a shooting an interview technique. He may face his body towards the camera to signify he is the interviewer. In the position Roots is sitting makes it appear as he is the one being interviewed.
It's more of a subliminal effect rather than an outright conscious effect. Also he may be sitting that way so the camera can get certain shots of Roots Manuva.
Shade On A Cool Day He might have a sore neck
I like "Stolen Youth "
Roots was great in this interview can't say the same for john doran esteemed music journalist pffft dude seemed a bit off imo should have been behind the camera not sitting side on looking awkward af
he has a lazy eye...
3rd
Interviewers body language is all off and uncomfortable, why not sit so you are facing the person your interviewing?

John is such an over the top stereotype, it's painfull to see
Most pretentious setup ever.

Boring. Sorry.
