So The Roots took time off from there day job of being the band for Jimmy Fallon to put out a new cd. Now I gotta admit I am not a big Roots fan but they came with it this go around. They have to put together a solid cd and if you haven’t been a fan you will be after listening to it. The Roots are one of those groups that will never get the props they deserve in Hip Hop when they are on the essence of Hip Hop. It’s like they are a jazz group with a rapper leading the way. They have several good songs to hear on this cd first up Sleep Feat Aaron Livingston is a banger along with The Otherside Feat Blial & P.O.R.N. hearing Bilal on the hook makes you want a 3rd cd from him soon. Stomp Feat Just Blaze & P.O.R.N. needs to be heard as well. Hands down this is a good cd from start to finish between the beats and the subject matter you can appreciate some real intelligent rap and not the typical bitch when my money and make it rain rap that we get so often. The Roots are a good change of pace in this commercial rap world we live in. Now with the good comes the bad and the bad is you get a couple Jazz track on the cd and that is fine. It feels like those songs take away from the cd as a whole the only track I think should be skipped is Lighthouse Feat Dice Raw I will just say this song is just bad period.
All in all if you looking for some real rap to the left of 106 & Park The Roots cd is the way to go. I give this cd 4 out of 5 FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
