The Roots - 100% Dundee

[2NIPP2]

HIPHOP!!

[cbaldwinjr]

From the moment Rahzel starts beat boxing...this is one of the top 50 tracks in the history of hip-hop. Just a "damn" track. Like...wow. The Roots straight up KILT it on this one.

[NOSIDDa0043]

such a raw song. gotta love it... if you guy alike hearing intricate lyricism you should definitely check out my channel. peace!

[TH3N3XTKB24]

i think this is the roots 2nd best album. Illadelph Halflife is still my favorite

[NOSIDDa0043]

@TH3N3XTKB24 choosing a favorite roots album is like choosing your favorite children lol. they're all special in their own unique way.

[schmoisawesome]

100% dundee 41,000 views lil wayne 3,000,000 WTF?



[jeruis1]

Or atleast make Black go back to his Do you want more style. They take themselves waaaay to seriously which is why their improvisations and adlibs are so much better than their actual songs. Need a second MC that's not such a go to war battle rapper all the time. They need someone to have fun like they did in the beginning. I loved Datsskat and Swept Away. What song have they released since then that's just fun. None that I can remember. Still respect the roots but they arent' wht i rmbr.

[jeruis1]

The best Malik B verse I have ever heard! He came harder than diamond coated adamantium. Hittin all targets cause it's the cause that's lost you trainin killaz but they probably teddy ruxpin soft. Droppin tears of steel two drops up in the bucket. Facin three hots and a cot so yo *&^% it. If I get abducted trapped up in the belly. Wax up my celly get known like Dawn Staley. Classic!! The roots always needed a second MC. Black limits what they really can do. Come back Malik B! please!

[ivckins]

Artists who produce club hits cannot be compared to a group of innovators. sorry

[bigbrotherkashmere]

I swear Black Thought's opening line has to be the dopest opening line I've ever heard. "On these 73 keys of ivory and ebony I swear solemnly that I'll forever rock steadily...."- Black Thought for Hip Hop Hall of Fame!!!

[maccavel187]

@bigbrotherkashmere I was just thinking that man, I listened for the first time in ages and I had to rewind like 4 times on that line

[baldo0008]

[DynomiteSoul]

don't care what anybody says...best cut on that album...100% DUNDEE YOW!

[lowart44]

@DynomiteSoul The second i hear this beat it gives me goosbumps. This song is just a ridiculous tour de force.  Lyricism to the enth degree. Same as "Quills" and "Work".

[funtarded]

I love the fact that this whole beat is beatbox. Mad props to the BAMF that spit that shit. :D

[stebs]

@funtarded none other than Rahzel homie.

[kktuvraj]

I Love Black's words and ?uestLove's Music...Real HIP HOP,treal ROOTS!!!!

[vfromthaburg]

MY NAGAS, MY NAGAS, BEAUTIFUL LIKE ALWAYS,UR BODY IS 70% WATER OR SO RIGHT?,SO WHAT HAPPENS TO A POND WHEN A ROCK IS THROWN INTO IT, THERE IS A RIPPLE / VIBRATION THAT SURROUNDS THAT PARTICULAR AREA..THE SAME WITH THE HUMAN BODY,K,WHEN THE BODY HEARS AND FEELS THE MUSIC /VIBRATION THE BODY RESPONDS WHETHER IN A NEGATIVE WAY OR A POSITIVE...BUT THE SIMPLE & BEAUTIFULTHING IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GO SOOO MUUCH FURTHER AS FAR AS THE MIND BODY & SPIRIT...P.E.A.C.E.

[crownmajesty]

This hits HARD! Roots fan forever!!!

[dsheil15]

roots dont get enough respect. jimmy falon's band??!! bullshit! - these dudes kicked it long before those dayz. best live hip hop bar none.

[ThibaudMitter794]

Rip the audio from this clip at soundnabber doht cohm.

[briank1ne]

this is my fav track on this album...reminds me of underwater shit.

[abtecas]

one of the illest beats ever!

[xMPCxx]

This needs a LOVE button...

[burnzism]

people say rappers like jay, big and pac. but people forget about mcs like black thought that will eat them dudes alive. his flow is sharper, more intricate and just straight up more lyrical. most people are shallow minded and they just cant understood what these deep mcs be sayin so they vibe to mainstream artists becuz those artists are easier to understand

[Lyingaboutmyage]

@burnzism

That's the problem .

Black Thought's in my top ten, but so is Jay and Big. When you hate on mainsteam artists, mainstream fans hate on your shit. Big and Pac were some of the best storytellers in hip hop history.

I don't care what you rap about, if you nice you nice.

[briank1ne]

@Lyingaboutmyage WRONG! it does matter what you rap about. Its what paves the way for the future of hip hop and the mind state of the people. It inspires people to follow the same path. PAC, BIG, and JAY Z arent very inspiring. Biggie is the one who brought out the "im rich, ill pimp your bitch, and Ill slap the shit outta you at the same time. Very egotistical same with Jay, Pac was the least egotistical out of these 3. But they are the most famous rappers of all time. And look what we have now

[HipHopHead5611]

@briank1ne

You just said Tupac wasn't a very inspirational??? you loose all credibility with this statement, Tupac maybe wasn't the greatest lyricist ever, but he def was one of the most inspirational hip hop artist of all time if not the greatest.

[briank1ne]

@HipHopHead5611 your right. he was inspiring. i dont know why i said that. I was just trying to prove a point. with the most famous rappers and why the rap game is such shit now. pac was like a preacher if you think about it. he rapped like it was a sermon. thanks for the reply homie.

[HipHopHead5611]

@briank1ne i know why you said it, you said it because you aren't a 13 year old suburban kid who thinks tupac and biggie were the only rappers alive in the 90s, I love Tupac and Biggie and i'm not trying to hate on them and I won't deny their HUGE impact on hip hop, but they are both overrated and they're are a lot more talented emcees around today and in the 90s.

[briank1ne]

@HipHopHead5611 If only guru was looked at as a rap god after he passed we wouldnt have so many awful rappers now.

[briank1ne]

@Lyingaboutmyage a bunch of dudes imitating them. souljah boy, "its mister steal your girl" all that bullshit. the roots on the other hand have inspired in bringing back music. and thats why u have a bunch of real hip hop heads here then you would see...on lets see...one of jay z's vids.

[Lyingaboutmyage]

@briank1ne

Yet in 96 hip hop heads were bumping Reasonable Doubt.

You can say the same thing about Nas, yet every hip hop artist will regard Illmatic as a classic.

[briank1ne]

@Lyingaboutmyage This is true. but nas is not the same. he had very positive and inspiring songs on that album, like the world is yours and one love. It is a classic. Nas had premo, qtip, and even pete rock singing hooks on that album. Doesnt matter though. the state of hip hop sucks now and anyone with a real ear for music can agree you know?

[TheJedi365]

Backstage whispering management, Like change the order, there's no way that we can rock after them. 0:43. Makes me wanna cry, Black Thought, you da shit.

[jvance2230]

i would've loved to hear binary star spit on this track too.. imagine a joint track or even album with binary and the roots.....................

[PoorKnow]

Backstage, whispering to management like, "Change the order! There's no way that we can rock after them!"

[Marycchayden]

It's a myth hip hop is dying. A hoax to stop the movement, and if you believe the hoax, you are a part of it.

[zerathornn]

I love the roots sooo much the only reason I have not abandoned hiphop

[Robstradamuz]

Ask the now rappers if they could rhyme like this????....Black THought and Malik B outdid themselves on this track....The ROots will forever COME ALIVE!!!

[tonton455]
