The Roots new vid pays Homage to cult classic movie Office Space

classic material!
Get Busy by theRoots. the new album Rising Down drops April 29th
for behind the scenes footage and ?uestlove innerview/commentary, go to the JungleJem

in case you've never seen Office Space, it's the hilarious live-action writing/directing debut of Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, Idiocracy). the film is all about a dude who loathes his boring, pointless, cubicle-bound office job so much that he (after a botched attempt to fix his depression with hypnosis) decides he doesn't wanna go back to work... he's not gonna quit, he's just gonna do nothing.


this movie would already get the Classic Material Tag for the Geto Boys-laced soundtrack and multiple instances of supervisor disrespect, but the infamous "Printer Scene" is worth the price of the video all by itself!
so, anyways, Office Space is definitely on the Beg, Borrow, Steal list... if you have ever worked in an office, or any kinda corporate setting, you might die laughing! and even if you haven't, just trust me and peep it any way on general principle!

holla!
