the roots - The Show (Feat. Common and Di - Rising Down

[snurod]

Ya you see these are the artists that sing on real shit, the ones the create REAL music. Unlike most hip-hop and rap out there is controlled by big companies that care about money and have like 2 lyrics per song, and rest is beats. They might as well release beats...

I love the Roots !

[carmelazelia]

FUCK. YEAH.

[6angelo9]

Real Hip-Hop must Go On!

[icemanx20]

Truly a group that does what they do for the love of the music

[truhousman]

OMG ARE YOU DEAF!!! to the one dislike!!!

[nnniiivvveeeaaa]

this right here is best quality music

[razzle9438]

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THE ALBUM!

[MaliMasih88]

Common got outshined by Tariq on this one if you ask me, that's only if you ask me though lol

[B0ULLIE]

@MaliMasih88 Yeah. But Thought is always bringing passion into his shit, Common does too but this is out of Commons context in the sense that he probably didn't have anything to do with the building of the song itself.

Tariq most likely did, and if he did, he would know and feel the original feeling that was to be put into the track,

Thus, he would know the kind of heat to bring to it, the kind of emotion.

Black Thought always brings crazy passion and intensity to his shit..

Feel me?

[MaliMasih88]

@B0ULLIE I like the way you broke that down bro!!! Great point!!

[92dinmor]

I would not say that The Roots are underrated.. but they are hyped as Mos Def, or Jay Electronica, but i still think that The Roots are one of the greatest groups yet, in all catogories not just in the Hip/Hop area, because The Roots are much more than just Rap...

[ShadowNinja215]

@92dinmor Not underrated? When the last time you heard anything by The Roots, Mos Def, or Jay Electronica on the radio? Don't get me wrong, they're all great artists but they're all underrated.

[Sublimej]

@ShadowNinja215

It ain't really good vs underrated. Its qualty vs bullshit. I can only imagine how much better people would be if they played music with a message on the radio rather than the garbage that masquerades as music on the radio.

[bc146]

thoughts second verse (verse 3) is unbelievablely nasty

[Dazast]

Might be a dumb question, but did you you remix this ? If so. What version was it from ? The only version I have by The Roots is called "The Show" on Priority Records. The lyrics were far from the same as this song on youtube.

Thanks again,

ps Great Track.

[bc146]

@Dazast this is the track from Rising down, right off the album. What cd is your version from

[rastashlomo]

Mussolini predates Hitler by a decade, and Italy was already trying their hand at imperialism before Mussolini came to power. He just clanked up a notch. Good music, but the sound quality fades in and out, should be redone

[kenhos32]

you know cats need 2 realize real hip hop

[Jiguhbiduh]

AWESOME!

[bizzy17]

Real Music

[ramafia09]

thats a prettty sick bassline

[Jiguhbiduh]

I agree

[ReprogramurMind]

Word up!

Mussolini tried to attack Ethiopian back in the early 1900's when he had a fascist regime in Italy! He was trying to show the world he could contend with hitler

[vallely21]

[garyt13]

[jRandom85]

The Roots have been underrated for years...yet they are still around and continue to put out good music.
