It seems The Roots chose for the minimalist approach with their video for "How I Got Over," the first single from their project that, at latest count, is due in stores next February. The clip shows a wheelchair-bound young man, armed with a cassette tape and boom box, making his way through "where he grew up." Brief appearances by Black Thought and Questlove can't take away from the real star of the video: the New York City streets. I uttered a quick "awww" when I saw the dog halfway through, and jumped back from the screen a bit when New York's Finest showed up. But overall, a nice clip that gives those watching a view of the surroundings from which the youngster wants to get over.
