i was reading on hiphopsite.com, an interview with Questlove, and he sheded some light about that roots/saigon track that did not appear on the Roots' new album "GAME THEORY", that track was produced by J-Dilla, the instrumental can be found on J-Dilla's album "DONUTS", which came out this year. The instrumental track is called "workinonit"
HIPHOPSITE: Give me some insight on how "Can't Stop This" was assembled? Obviously the first part of the track is familiar to listeners of "Donuts", but did The Roots play over Dilla's beats, or is this all Dilla? Give me some insight into how that song was assembled.
QUESTLOVE: Dilla had initially made the "Workin' On It" and "Can't Stop This" beats for Tariq (Black Thought). A lot of the beats that were on the "Donuts" record had gone out to the designated artists, to whom their albums would eventually have the beats on there. Then one day we all woke up, and out of the blue and found out there is an album coming out called "Donuts" with everyone's beats on there. (laughs). So there was a lot of head scratching, like "Yo man, we paid for this shit?!". But what are you gonna do? We understood the circumstances of how that album got made, so it wasn't like anyone was that angry, but that kind threw a monkey wrench in our plans. "Workin' On It" was going to open our album, and Saigon had already done his verse
