Taboo's Native Roots | RUMBLE

"I grew up understanding my Mexican roots more than my Native roots," says Black Eyed Peas' rapper/singer/songwriter Taboo in this clip from the Independent Lens film RUMBLE. He learned about the other side of his heritage from his Shoshone grandmother, which helped him appreciate how his style was influenced by the whole mix.
