The Roots —
The roots are an amazing rap group, mos definitley. Infact I consider them a band. This is their 10th album out since 1993. They are honestly talented musicans. People that say hip hop is trash have definitley not hear The roots. But this CD in particular wasn't spectacular. It didn't blow all of their previous CD's out of the water but it is DEFINITLEY a breathe of fresh air from all of the bullshit in hip hop now a days. What I really like about their music is when they rap over instrumentals. because it is just so original and for some reason plays together so well. But in this CD and some of their newer ones they have begun to use computers to manipulate the beats. They still come out sounding great but it is definitley a different feel. They had a lot of guest appearances from styles p, talib kweli, mos def, common, and some other artists that are definitley worth mentioning but I cant remember off the top of the head. They even mix mos def and styles p into a song and it actually works. Although they are totally different rappers it still meshes together rather well. Definitley worth PURCHASING the CD, I did and I don't regret it. been knockin this ish for dayssss.
