THE ROOTS - LONG TIME

[mickoz1977]

fuckin kills me very time. I'm ozzie must be nuts.

[cmhonsu33]

good shit

[asmith512]

All in all, one of my favorite CD's from Roots Crew. Organix got me through undergrad so I'm a bit of an old head.

You look familiar I feel ya long time no see.

[GalloBeats]

this was the song that steered me away from shitty made-for-the-radio hip hop

[headzaintreddy]

"and it's something in the water tho where i come from

they used to say it on the corner yo where i come from

makin' somethin outa nothin cus

e'ybody 50 cent away from a quater tho where i come from!"

[Dre36]

I am forever and forever and forever rewinding this tune! You guys just don't understand man.

[Apugueiro]

The roots are great, i´m from Spain and it is my favourite band

[jaymall]

[noisyneil]

i like the way ?uest is playing the funky drummer break with a twist all of his own. i heard him do it with d'angelo playing JB on the voodoo out-takes. he's the only drummer i've ever heard do it jussss right. legend.

[BLACKSPLINTER90]

tune,immense

[Funch08]

I agree with you PhillyATL Mem. There's something very Cerebral about this song. This one cut is better than alot of full albums.

[imdahood]

I guess 19,777 views is better than 0. Long live The Roots!

[Cephalopopo]

Great Song! I love the album too :)

[southernCal909]

Ya soo get off that jay-z!!!!it was a sign!

[Dopemania]

I can listen to this song all day long on repeat! fo sho... i will play this song at least once a month for the rest of my life!

[Manniemanolo]

werd

[MrDumesday]

It's been a while since I've listened to The Roots. Was using Pandora at work on the Jay-Z channel and this came on. As soon as I heard the beat drop and Black Thoughts voice I got goosebumps. True hip-hop in the rawest format. Classic shit

[southernCal909]

@MrDumesday ...Gay z, is not hip hop..

[Madspaz215]

Peddi Crakk lives around the corner. Badlandz represent! The Roots crew is definently my favorite Artist and will forever be

[Danzusc]

damn i love that town, philly is the greatest hometown one could have. conshy represent!

[leeperryismerry]

Wow, That guy listened to Ultramagnetic MC's taking a Dump, I'm sure I've done that before!

[Soul2Soul78]

SIMPLY The Legendary Roots Crew!

[BrunoAngelico]

Powerful song. Strong lowdown funk groove.

Is Bunny Sigler sings raps in that? I don't recognize his voice?

Is it Bunny from Instant Funk?

[Zeaky0arteest]

Nice...that's two great bands.

[Chalo77]

Why there are suckers like 50 cents and Eminem when you hear true Hip Hop like this?

[LLMelvinL]

Cause those cats are scared of real hip hop.

[markyraah]

Amen to that CommadoreNorrington.

These guys are the reason why i still have faith in Hip-Hop

[CommadoreNorrington]

This is music at its best. They merge so many genres into one seamless peice of art that makes you unable to walk away. This is the epitome of hip-hop, but their music also reaches far beyond the hip-hop world.

In my opinion, The Roots just might be one the the most unique and talented bands of all time.

[Sammaron]

Epitome?? You spelled 'meaning' wrong silly :P

I like the chorus. The sound happy :D

[gizzeek]

Agreed, Jazz Blues Rock even sometimes all combined with hip-hop. Awe Inspiring.

[deylamian]

This is the truth

[mrouteboss]

this was one of the best albums of 2006 hands down def jam did a horrible job of promoting this

[bigbrew17]

song gives me chills. the roots are incredible.

[nige12]

I love this song. Thanks for posting dude, although you've got about 2mins of dead silence at the end of the song which you might want to think about trimming.
