  • Did anyone else notice that the killer at the end is wearing the same clothes that Redford was wearing in the 2nd video? So I guess they are saying that he killed himself. Dang this album is crazy good.

  • @lonehunter65 .....Word....

  • Perfection....... Damn 

  • i've listened to this album 5 times now and it might be the closest thing ive ever heard to a perfect album. not just in hip hop but musically. thought provoking, inspiring, truly great hip hop is out there in abundance, you just have to know where to look. music like this deserves to be recognized like it was in the past. undun, section 80, return of 4eva, house of balloons. there were some great hip hop albums this year, i just wish more ppl got the chance to hear them

  • @ryanmcd91 ........Word...

  • @YemaLove word

  • @ryanmcd91 you left out Cinematroplis from the Blue Scholars but you are right. Great year for hip hop

  • @ryanmcd91 what do you think about their previous on "how i got over?"

  • finally!!! I haven't heard rap not talking about being in a club and smoking weed in quite a awhile. The Roots always come through when music can't get any worse.

  • @pmacn1 check out Shad too keeping it real

  • The Roots are doing big things right now and stayn' true in the process.

  • 0 people are stupid.... So far.

  • @noluyon so far, now lets keep it that way.

  • 5:32

  • @69v96 Chilling. The whole section for "Make My" gave me chills the entire time I was watching it. The Roots are onto something with this album.

  • @tha16thletter ....Yeup...Word...!

  • Easily one of the greatest bands of all time.

  • it just keeps getting better

  • Grammy...

    

  • @souldier323 Now you know the grammies aint smart enough

  • The only Hiphop moving me now!

  • 1:20 Crackhead Weezy

  • some of the best hip hop ive ever heard. 9 minutes and 19 seconds of pure greatness.

  • wowwww man... powerful stuff...

  • Dark,grim & eerie visuals. Great artwork.

  • 20 years and still hittin me musically

  • fucking fantastic, such a great album

  • This is incredible. The Roots never disappoint. I can never get enough.

  • 5:15 Drizzy Hand lol

  • JUST PERFECT!!!!

  • This is probably the realest thing of the decade. This is utterly beautiful.

  • PEACE! THIS IS SOME CLASSICAL DATA, Fo' REAL!!!!!

  • Clearly THE best band in the world!!!

  • The Brother at 1:21 reminds me of Miles Davis. Or maybe Flav. Looks like he had a rough day..

  • black thought is the realest.....lyricist ever.....keep up the good work roots.....hiphop will never die...

  • simply....perfect....

  • I love this film .. you did the damn thing!!! The Roots are the best hands down . HIP HOP has been saved.. but then it never died :)

  • Kool On is my favorite track from this album. Why did you leave it out of the video?

    Great work overall. Undun is definitely on repeat for me right now.

  • As with any 2-1-5 album, I eagerly await the transformation each of these songs can/will take when performed live. With the roots you get songs twice. You get the songs when the album comes out and then you get the amped live version that is often even doper. Best band. Favourite band.

    Tell Jimmy you need a couple months to stroll the globe and make a couple million fans happy. It's been a minute since your last tour fellas

  • Still doing it big, Love and bless Big Time

  • Black Though is the only artist who can tell a story like this these days, Talib Kweli said that Black was the greatest rapper alive, he might just be right

  • "At the end of the day...isn't that what we all do? "

    No, that's called being a narcissistic! Great video of a psychopath who have not been told the difference between reality and consequences. And that's the problem with a lot of American youth--there is no accountability for actions. Its their environment has to change or its going continue to become more deaths than the Rwandan genocide.

  • @GreatWoman That's kind of the point that the album tries to make - that the problem with criminals are not the minds that they have, but rather the lack of direction they are given. I think you and the roots see more eye-to-eye on the issue than you think. Also, amazing album! Lovin' it!

  • @GreatWoman You missed the point. They are speaking metaphorically, in that we all do what we need to do to get by in this world. Be it taking a corporate job that you do not like so that you can feed your family, or stealing food from a grocery store because you have no money to buy it. They are not debating the morality of the kids' (or our own) actions. They are simply saying that on some level we all do this. It's not necessarily narcissism, just self-preservation. And there is a difference.

  • This new Roots album is gonna be off the damn hook...This video just rendered me speechless!!! Absolutely amazing...

  • Just listened to the album also on NPR. In my opinion "The Otherside" is definitely my favorite on the album. The drums are poppin' and the flow's ridiculous on that track. This is one group that keeps getting better with age. Even at 40 y/o, Black Thought can outspit just about any rapper.

  • JUST HEARD THE ALBUM FROM AN ONLINE STREAM AT NPR.COM

    TIP THE SCALE AND SLEEP ARE VERY POWERFUL SONGS. AND THE UNDUN VIDEOS ARE SO "IN YOUR FACE" THAT THEY DEMAND YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION! I SALUTE THE ROOTS FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN ONCE MORE.

  • Can anyone else catch the "fall in love" sample in the first 2:30 mins?

    J Dilla is still alive just press play

  • im at a loss for words.

  • amen! cant w8 this one.

  • Congrats to the Roots... This is the best I've heard of them so far...

  • @jaleelshaw Word..

  • That last verse during the credits, is that from Undun? Sounded fantastic

  • @Odnetnin90 I believe it's track four from the album "One Time"
