The Roots - Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

does anyone know from what instrument that sound in the beginning comes from??

[MrBarney2107]

Why am I listening to this again when I've just got in from the pub pissed up? Because it's the finest hip hop tune I know.

[blaquenoise]

@RageQuiter64 like he's OK. If you were made to pick him or Wiz. I'd go with Mac Miller. Besides I only checked him out because of Chris Webby, Sam Adams, and Termanology.

[chinesewalmart]

My neck..is sore. TOO MUCH BOBBIN

[jakewareham]

@chinesewalmart i just broke my neck

[blaquenoise]

Things Fall Apart is my favorite Roots album ever. At one point I was willing to buy every version of the CD an LP just to get the different cover inlays.

[RageQuiter64]

@blaquenoise U MEAN WAC ASS MILLER

[katsyb]

Frikking wicked, still sounds so dope 10 odd years on. Makes me wanna hit a hip hop concert hard.

[AV4557]

[MsNothing000]

[MsNothing000]

[Freshhhism]

UuuuOooo.

Still as good as it sounded ten years ago.

[WiseYungSistah1]

Because you cant like both.. it's one or the other..

when you listen to The Real Hip Hop Like this.. All Music on the radio or in commercials bombards you and hurts your ears..

you realize all the beats are the same, all the artists are copying eachother to make a hit and some bills..

music like this you just know was made from the heart.

once you listen to Real Hip Hop and Like It you're hooked. you just don't like any other kind of music really.

[onlylettersinname]

@WiseYungSistah1 everything is recycled and sampled these are pure untouched beats sooo siiickkkk and iit was soo long ago fuk that new shit

[ihategus]

no dislikes, respect

[MrCameronsterling]

The roots at their best,i had all the cd's and somebody stole em all,now dats saying sumthin.

[wepodroma]

[radfoll]

This will be played at my funeral.

[Tnesjed]

[techbonus]

" Yo! Handla

[AKShaolin]

[HipHopPurist90]

Black thought and Dice Raw will:

[1trl2]

Another banger of mine off the album. Dice raw killed this shit.

[Madvillain305]

53 Likes, 0 Dislikes. Real hiphop has mass appeal; unlike Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. I ain't saying nothing new :)

[mackbuddy67]

Very underated.

[budlightloser]

[RightWinger78]

This is dedicated to those so called emcees...I think most commenters know who I'm referring to!

[neopandorex]

roots most underrated rap posse ever... ever...

the legendary foundation... they really are

[exzotik81]

That's Eve in the background.

[RDoubt96]

@exzotik81 How you know

[exzotik81]

@RDoubt96 It's in the credits.

[Kfunkshun]

Tairyhesticles, you are awesome...Aesop Rock, The Roots, MF Doom, GangStarr, Nas, Dead Prez! over 1200 real great rap hip hop songs Thank you!

[deatha44]

that picture speaks volumes......and the music...hot!

[blaquenoise]

@deatha44 If you felling this inlay look up all the others for this album. When it dropped I thought about buying them all for the different inlays (CD inlay is Riot my LP cover is Baby). There all five in all Riot, Baby, Girl, Church, and Ace.

[dontfront08]

I got this album in like '01... For some reason, I kept skippin this track... But like last week, I fell victim to shuffle on my iPod and was wondering what this was. And afterwards, wondered what the hell was wrong w/ me for skippin this. It's like the best song off a classic album

[straitcashhomie81]

@dontfront08 same, i used to think Dynamit! on this album was the best song, so i skipped over this, but wow, i was wrong, this, and hip hop your the love of my life are my favs

[kowtpr187]

what do you think about dynamite? or whatever it was calleD? i loved that jam...I skipped this song to hear that!either way this whole album is classic!

[straightupkid]

my fav on things fall apart, seriously sick

[drillasilla5]

crazy how this was produced by scott storch before he blew up. if only he continued working with the roots instead of getting coked out with paris hilton

[thedjscotto]

@drillasilla5 he was the keys player for them since the beginning

[neopandorex]

@thedjscotto stortch left pretty early...

[06alwilliams]

@drillasilla5 u aint never lied brother u aint never lied!!!!

[DeeSteezy]

U serious Scott Storch?? I had no idea! Crazy! I love this Roots album

[Brudify]

Big Tune!

[HiphopHeads2]

phat song roots one of the best i like the

album picture!! lol corrupt

[Canadianbrother1]

I fucking love this tune !

Nothing new , nothing new . You aint saying nothing new representing the fifth dynasty Crew !

I fucking love this group and the song . Long live the Roots !

Cb1

[OsirisDaImpleMentah1]

@Canadianbrother1 i love da roots things fall apart is hands down best album

[snoop11080]

man thoughts flow is crazy!!!

[Sicklysamantha]

One of my faves from the crew.

[mayebella]

My favourite track no doubt. Ahh i love it.

[straightupkid]

its so tru

[wickstarr]

the baseline !!

fuck lil wayne 50 cent , jeezy, rick ross, akon , t,i souljah boy t pain

drake , gucci mayne alll them wack fucks wouldnt know real hip hop if it slapped them across the face

[vtecboi18]

@wickstarr id have to disagree with u on t.i but on the others i agree.

[pslayvins]

@wickstarr they're coming from completely different places and going for completely different things. you have to take into account what styles they're both using. seen through the lens of those artists, the roots could also sound like shit. i love this song, but it's not justified to talk shit about southern rap artists just because you like east coast hip hop.

[wickstarr]

@pslayvins 50 cent akon rick ross drake and souljah boy arnt from the south are they ? i wouldn't no but im not hating on souther rap coz there is some i like im just pointing out all commercial bullshit rap is the same thing to me east west north south if your wack your wack if your dope your dope . and if you talk about things and make people idolize a way of living e.g thug life and you have never lived it then that is wack as hell

[pslayvins]

@wickstarr rick ross is from miami and SB is from Atlanta. and gucci mayne, lil wayne and rick ross clearly are not faking about who they are or where they grew up. you obviously don't understand this entire genre and are generalizing it, but it's not like i really give a fuck. just thought your comment was ignorant, that's all. some of it's trash, but some of it is good as fuck. just like the world of music the roots pertain to. just like the roots' music itself.

[wickstarr]

@pslayvins haha if you don't already no rick ross was a a fuckin prison guard .....come on man u dont actually buy into the hype of ''gangsta rap '' do you ?

you really think they sell drugs n kill people ?

[RottenPeachState706]

@pslayvins souljah boy from jackson ms, and gucci from bama, them niggas AINT from GA

[Somegamer]

@wickstarr Actually Drake has said he's a big fan of The Roots.

[wickstarr]

@Somegamer drake is lame as fuck

[nemesis700]

so what if he a fan of the roots? im supposed to like him because of that? that nigga's corny and lame.

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

@wickstarr now i cant argue with you about any of the artists you mentioned but T.I. shouldn't be. He'z is an underrated lyricist.

[reignOfJudah]

@wickstarr ....I'm HiP!! I Love Black Thought....hahahaha!

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

@wickstarr t.i.'s dope

[briank1ne]

@wickstarr i like TI and 50...but they are nothing compared to the roots.

[geetee81]

@wickstarr I like everyone u mentioned except t-pain, gucci, souljah boy, and akon. And I love the Roots, Kweli, Mos Def, Outkast, Nas, Common too. Why can't hip hop be united and accept all parts of the culture? Just saying.

[maliksenna]

@wickstarr Your comment his highly stupid. Ok, you don't like what the artist you named actualy do, but most of them are big hip hop fan, end the surely know the roots.

[MrsMarinia]

@wickstarr stop talking bout wayne and nigga like souljah boy in response to sick music get of those retards dicks they suck for them selves jesus i keep trying to forget about those fools and u assholes remind me one love

[whoabiach]

@wickstarr i know what you mean yo. theres 2 songs with drake in it that you'd like though. Enjoy yaself v2- Slakah the beat child ft drake, and Think good thoughts-drake feat phonte and elzhi

[coachurly]

Great f****** song!

[micafonist]

NADA!
