"The Roots drummer and frontman Questlove has revealed that NBC now checks their song choices before playing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The Roots, who can be seen weeknights as Fallon&amp;#039;s house band, made headlines after playing Fishbone track &amp;#039;Lyin&amp;#039; Ass Bitch&amp;#039; as Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann walked on the set for her interview.  Fallon later made a public apology for the incident. Questlove told Associated Press: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s still a comedy show, so they promise not to step on my toes or that type of thing, but they definitely want to know the title of the song, the subject matter of the song, can it be seen as an insult?&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;It was kind of wrong for me to throw [NBC] under the bus without telling them what it was, so I understand from a business standpoint.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Questlove responded to Ashley Judd, who called the hip-hop genre &amp;quot;misogynistic&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;music with a rape culture&amp;quot;. He wrote on his Twitter: &amp;quot;EVERY genre of music has elements of violence. It speaks MORE volumes that in rap only a certain side gets promoted.&amp;quot; Watch a clip of The Roots playing &amp;#039;Lyin&amp;#039; Ass Bitch&amp;#039; during Michele Bachmann&amp;#039;s appearance below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
