The Roots - False Media

[Sainted187]

when i heard this, i rushed to the store and had a fight just to get to the album ....

[accantiere]

pau no cu da midia sera ????que pensam assim

[BringTheRiot]

How cruel to only throw one verse on this incredible song;

WHY DO THE ROOTS ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME;

this song, and unwritten off of Rising Down have insanely good beats and thought comes WAY harder then usual then they just cut the song at like a minute;

breaks my heart :(

[yansnick]

Hip-Hop at it's purest.

[JesusCristo2002]

In examining and analyzing the lyrics a little more closely and directly the song can be interpreted different ways. Yes, one can interpret it from the perception of President George W. Bush, another would be the idealistic, cliche' African-American hood or gangster - or perhaps on a broader scale, a simple text of fundamental manipulation of power. Lyrically, unqestionably one of Black Thought's most intricately sophisticated and substantial works to date.

[RiseDemUp]

False media we don't need it do we.......

Fuck no, look where it's got us so far,we gotta let it go..

-CNN, Fox and all of them alike

-food industrial complex

[TheStimie]

[bondservant4Him]

"If I cant work to make it, then ill rob and take it"

[09JayAre]

Black Thought - Top 5 DoA..

Gotta love some Roots

[TurnOffTheRadio]

Are Black Thought's lyrics in this album corresponding to the Illuminati possibly?

[suggahsosweet]

@TurnOffTheRadio u already kno...

[bc146]

how crazy is that first verse. thought does a first person "gangsta rap" verse, but it is from the perspective of Pres. Bush. that shit is crazy

[Sceptorful]

Damn this song sends chills down my spine everytime.

[Thomeoo]

2:08 iPhone ringtone :D

[Bret360]

Anyone know who's speaking the quote in the sample at the beginning? Is that Bertrand Russell? It's been driving me crazy trying to figure it out...

[ShakyBones797]

this is real hip hop

[THEBARFO]

i feel bad for who ever never heard of the roots. they're missin out on great music!

[Great0ne1]

I want this instrumental so bad.

[kotep777]

simply incredible

[jalapeano]

The human ego is our own worst enemy

[pscomics]

Fear and laziness too.

[Revolutionary45]

the illuminati woul be fucked if this was mainstream music :)

[Wangtime1]

Words spoken to perfection!

[TheGecko94]

False media

This Shits Hot

[JUANS3F]

pilgrim(white people), slave(black people), indian(native american), mexican(the ovbious), this master piece goes way beyond racism.... the republican admon. and the Bush's administration has gotten eveerybody fucked up....no matter they just want your money and your soul....

[TheRonin5]

It never was the bush Administration friend. The social Elite... the bourgeoisie who hold us down to keep their power are those really at the helm. Republican, Democrat, CEO, Lobbyist, they all are those who use economic feudalism to enslave us all.

[TheRealLife333]

@TheRonin5 - It's good to see someone who is truly enlightened. Keep passing the knowledge on...it matters.

[woodyboyone]

@TheRonin5 physical slavery requires the slaves be fed and housed, contempory monetary based economic slavery requires the slaves feed and house themselves...

[csnewbob]

I love this song; the beat, the chorus, the lyrics, the flow, even the quote at the beginning. This my be the best opening song for an album I've ever heard.

[almandeto]

feel the same way and I'm a HUGE fan of Act Won on "Things Fall Apart"

[jesusbuddy]

this osng is fire....too bad not enough ppl hera this type of shit

[gerbilsqueex]

I looooove this album.

Constantly on in my car.

False media is a beast of a tune.

[runnerdude44]

of course they need to promote it but they dont because th e big ass companies dont like no trouble

[Constitusean]

they should of promote this album more.

[NasNY]

hell yea!! Jay-Z sucks at this man!! this album shits all over Kingdom Come.

[bigrobdeezey]

@NasNY Kingdom Come was such a terrible album. I personally liked BP3, but both Kingdom Come and American Gangster pretty much get shit on by any other album ever.

[heybert05]

@bigrobdeezey

9th wonders remix to american gangster is nuts

makes the album that much better

i heard the album was done by a fan of 9th wonder though

the beats are definitely 9th though

just not mixed by him

[aBDKstan]

@NasNY How does Jay-Z suck?

[rayallen0]

@NasNY wtf does jay-z have to do with anything? u feel the need to demean another artist just so u can say something nice about another? kinda sound like a hater.

[seamac206]

@NasNY his ass should have stayed retired

nas killed him on ether and no one remembers
