Roots Picnic 2022 Was a Celebration For the Culture

Blige hands down gave one of the best performances at Roots Picnic simply because she took the festival's name quite literally when it came to her set. Instead of just singing her biggest hits, the icon, alongside The Roots, took us down memory lane to remind us that her classics were born from sampling other classics across hip-hop, R&B, and soul. Blige showed much love to some of those artists and surprised Saturday's crowd with a showcase of their hit songs. To top it off, she treated us to live renditions of tracks from her first three albums — "What's the 411?" "My Life," and "Share My World." It felt like we were all in music heaven.
