The Roots
 

Their new cd leaked, and I like it. I defenitly think its one of their better albums, which is saying alot.

I love The Roots. Im definetly going to check this out right now...Im really exited..you seriously think its up there with The tipping point and Things fall apart?

I liked The Tipping Point and Phrenology.

Two of their best albums in my opinions.
I don't think they can do better than Phrenology

thanks for the info :)

Well, ive got it now...ill listen later

I enjoy Things Fall Apart the most. I'll probably check out the new album soon.

I liked this album a lot..id say it is on par with their best albums

What is the name of the album so i can start downloading! haha, thx.

They're cool. I'll have to check out the new one.

Looking forward to hearing this.

Don`t suppose anyone knows if the new Jurassic 5 album is any good?

Game Theory

Thx

you want me to upload it?

You got full cd? if so, that'd be cool. it would save me the time of downloadin it.

Ok.ill up it now

Aight thx, i'll check 4 it 2morro i'm tired. Appreciate it.

Thx, I'll sign up on the site and let you know what i think.

i like it. but i still think The Tipping Point and Phrenology were the best.

Of course, it will be hard to beat those albums..

Could you say they're alternative rap?

I've heard good things about em

Alternative rap? I'd probably say..Spoken Word..maybe Ghetto Intellect rap..Social Awarness rap..?? lol

cant believe ive never got into this group before now. Game theory is superb and i love the fusion of hip hop, jazz and funk. im on a mission to buy every album they've made now.

It'll be worth your money..The Roots are great

Just an update: Game Theory is probably my favorite rap album to come out in the last ten years. Pure brilliance that gets better with every listen.

^Ban Him Please Seriously

You're an idiot. What are you trying to get at?

I don't know but i'm tired of reading him say "ban him" to every other user. Maybe I some banning will get done but it won't be who he expects. >:[

I would agree Tipping Point and Phrenology, I could not get into Things Fall Apart no matter how many listens it took.
Luv that 1 song 'pussy galore'
how true; especially in western society: repressing one of our most primal urges and then selling it back to us; sad but true and genius
just as much genius by the roots for recognizing it and being above it.

I recently noticed the Public Enemy references in one of their songs. I think it was "False Media."

Yup, the newst cd is the best .

Is it the tipping point, or do they hav a newer one?

Game Theory is the newest.

I'm resurrecting this thread, because I haven't gotten a chance to talk about my favorite hip hop artists yet.

So here goes.

My girlfriend introduced me to them back in '05. I went out and bought Do You Want More??? and Phrenology at the same time. I enjoyed them both very much. I didn't get to see them until Bonarroo 2007, and it was ****in' phenomenal. If anybody hasn't witnessed their cover of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War", let me do you favor.



Right? Anyway, I was blown away. And then I saw them about 3 months later at my local House of Blues. And they played "Masters of War" again. I think I scared my girlfriend's friends with how excited I was during the show. I was one of maybe ten people in a crowd of 2,000 who was dancing, but I didn't care. Anybody who can go to a Roots show and not move is a ****in' puppet. I actually bumped into a white guy in a Grateful Dead T-shirt who gave me a dirty look. What a fool.

There new record How I got over is coming out on June 23rd lookz good. can't wait

I still haven't heard Rising Down. What's the take?

It's pretty dope. Not their best, but worth a listen definitely.

thank ya thank ya

I'll relisten and give you my favorites to search up so you can get a feel for it. Just gonna edit this post so search here.

Criminal
Rising Down
Rising Up
75 Bars
Get Busy

Yeah, it's just an okay album-- but I mean, it's still The Roots!

I'm excited about hearing How I Got Over, can't wait for that to come out. My favorite album, so far, is Game Theory. Simply love that ****. The Roots have been a favorite hip hop band of my mine for a while now, but I didn't get to see them until last year. They played a free 4/20 concert on the Mall in DC with O.A.R. (acoustic set), Gov't Mule, Umphrey's McGee, and some other people. It rained on us, but it was a sick concert and totally worth it.
