[jbarajas0490]

[cbiv79]

most amazing, addicting hook Ive heard in ages. roots - respect, always

[ChillinAlways92]

@skywalker1367 They're real people too you know....

[geeuho]

How can music be this good?

[Mozbrada]

This album is a MASTERPIECE I want to yell it out to the universe.

[skywalker1367]

F*CK ALL THE C*CK S*CKING BOULÈ HOUSE N*GROES OUT THERE ( LIKE GAY-Z, DICK ROSS, LIL WIENER, P-DICK LICK AND OTHER LITTLE F*GS)...KEEP IT REAL!

[skywalker1367]

PAN AFRICAN NATIONALISM 4 EVER YO, BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL...

[skywalker1367]

THE ROOTS, THE RED, BLACK AND THE GREEN, BLACK POWER 2012...

[AnythingWithSound]

what's the piano sample at 1:12-1:32 ? it sounds familiar.

[93malonso]

Now this is hip hop...

[pacrox2]

yo this album is off the charts the story is unbelievable

[oldaverich]

As great as the album is, this song is as good as anything they have ever ever ever done.

[100freemind]

The Roots are hip hop hands down......GET DOWN WITH THE CAPTIN OR GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP!!!!!!

[conorgorman25]

the hook is incredible

[DetectiveBlacksmith]

@conorgorman25 I agree. This hook has so much symbolism in it, its crazy. It doesnt have to be catchy to make you take notice!

[NastyNasNahMean]

album of the year no doubt

[SoufpawSupreme]

My favorite track on this album. That hook is dead on...

[illsavemine2saveurs]

Thank you...

[jmccallu6]

love it when they perform this live.

[restlesslikeyourmom]

I Just played this song like 100 times in a row …

[brklynzfinest95]

Two people couldn't swizim.

[SauerkrautProduction]

@brklynzfinest95 I hate comments like this but this one was funny

[ElChiliano]

It smells so good 90's

[tdotallstar]

Mind=blown. The Roots predict the sinking of the Costa Concordia cruise ship.

[TheMornnon]

@tdotallstar "get down with the captain or go down with the ship"

[mrwakedafuckup]

i only watch jimmy fallons show to holla at quest

[GeneralCoop1]

This song is my 2nd most played song in my library.

The first is "One Time".

Dice Raw is always going to be on their tracks,

but it's a shame he officially left The Roots (due to drug problems).

Stay strong, Dice!

[deftboogie]

@GeneralCoop1

You have DICE confused with Malik B .

[mrjgrady512]

wow dice raw is really talented

[HCRBandit]

'After the love is lost friendship dissolves...' thats such a REAL line right there. Black's entire verse is dope.

[timmie013]

I don't know if i m retarded or sumthing but I just hit the replay button like 20 times ... :x

[jordaro2004]

This is my favorite song on the album. Dice Raw's verse might be the best verse on the album.

[doomkid1331]

undeRATED 100%

[darbstar1]

If you can't swizzim then ya bound to drizzown!

[Njcct84]

Refreshing to hear talent made by musicians, instead of recycled garbage by a Korg beat machine or some over hyped producer.

[Staalstraal]

I don''t love all the poppy chorusses on this album but i like this one...beautiful track!

[Shayne2wavvy]

@Staalstraal theres not many

[ORIGINALGANGST4]

@Staalstraal hardly poppy? just well orchestrated

[Staalstraal]

matter of taste. Well orchestrated can feel cliche. But let's not dwell too much on my criticism since i just love this song.

[MrTonyyoung1]

Played this at a party, shit was dopeee

[mackflutter]

this will be dope live, Im so sure.........

-blessus

[Dradle]

amazing song, amazing album

[fakeyellow]

Wait is Dice Raw really singing da hook?

[pmpinaintez11]

@fakeyellow Yup.

[symmetryx]

@fakeyellow yep, I was surprised to find that out. Especially since he sings the hook on One Time too.

[HCRBandit]

@symmetryx NO WAY!!! I love One Time too. Phonte went IN on his verse. I had no clue who was singing but I've always love DICE since his rhymes on the "Things Fall Apart' ROOTS album. Wow how cool.

[NikoProductionz]

@fakeyellow black thought can sing too. im telling ya, people think Drake is a big deal because he can flow and harmonize....these fools can soul sing and rip the mic up like its a hobby. i dont even think thats my opinion.

[HCRBandit]

@NikoProductionz word yo black thought sing hooks tooo?!?! O man I just got flushed. Can u please refer me to a track he's singing on?

[symmetryx]

@HCRBandit I don't know any off the top of my head, but he sings in concert.

[NikoProductionz]

@HCRBandit HOW I GOT OVER is his main vocal demonstration and he sings background vocals on several other tracks i believe

[HCRBandit]

@NikoProductionz Thx homey! i'll be checking that out. I tell you man Black Thought is like my hip hop Prince. I fucking love him yo.

[NikoProductionz]

@HCRBandit fa sho! yea black thought is one of the kings of this culture no doubt...unknowingly too

[aslan2026]

Nice track!

[OskarJuul]

GREAT SONG ROOTS! The first one i ever heard and i think im in love <3

[windkai]

damn on REPEAT!

[fakeyellow]

@windkai word!

[jpatrickp713]

2 people are face down in the ocean

[FocusandSound]

 this is one of the more powerful songs on the album, very cerebral

[ahmadbrown21]

1 person crashed their boat cause they couldnt see the lighthouse



[Fungigi]

I love this song:)

[TheSitherin]

noma sana mzeee....this song is craaaazyyY!!

[glaxglax]

good song, would've been great if it weren't for the hook

[hallietyner]

It may just be the situation I'm in right now that has me feeling more emotional, but this just hit so hard.

Actually, this whole album brings me to tears. But in the best way it can. What makes the struggle worth it is the music that hits deep, brings out the feelings you didn't know how to surface, and forces you to face them, self reflect, and take the headphones off with a clearer head and total respect for the artists who just may have turned your life around.

[phester061594452]

@hallietyner Don't worry, it isn't "weird". This album was supposed to get people to think like you are. I'm glad you're enjoying this album as much as I am.

[doodskimabob]

@hallietyner well said

[NikoProductionz]

@hallietyner i did a review for UNDUN watch?v=bmmzy5UkI-s

this album changed my life...everytime i listen to it i feel like i need to make positive changes...and i have in the past week i feel a positive shift in my moods

[hallietyner]

@NikoProductionz That's awesome man, keep it up. More positivity is what we all need.

[NikoProductionz]

@hallietyner i agree...and i believe more people are getting comfortable with the idea of positive change now a days

[gant360]

I've played this album nonstop since the day it came out.

[TerpsNats]

I am flat out in love with this song

[NikoProductionz]

I just listened to the whole album 3 times in a row. Im not kidding. I have off today and I think im going through withdrawals during the time im not listening to this album. I have a video review on my channel of the album...haha

[FlashFace]

Best album of 2011 - hands down.

[saucy05]

@FlashFace common and kendric lamar might have something to say about that.

[MetaBarbar23]

Buy this album and support good music

[MEHSIMUSIC]

feeling this one to the fullest

[ohsocrafty]

I can't get over how heavy this song is!

[beechneega]

[ShammeRhh]

UNBELIEVABLE and AMAZING! That's two words describing this new album. It's perfect. It touches you and you can't stop listening to it. Every time The Roots Crew releases new album i fall more and more in love with them!
