On Thursday, The Roots debuted their new song “Misunderstood” on Hot 97, the song featuring Erykah Badu and fellow Philadelphian Tierra Whack.
Dallas and Philadelphia collide on new The Roots song, “Misunderstood.” On Thursday night, Funk Flex of Hot 97 premiered the track, which features neo-soul pioneer Erykah Badu and eccentric rapper Tierra Whack. “Misunderstood” comes one week after Funk Flex called out The Roots to deliver new music.
“I challenged The Roots last week, and they delivered big time,” Flex declared on-air, praising the song produced by Questlove and Jorun Bombay. “The knock on this is crazy … This is so mean.”
