The Roots "Tip The Scale"
Loading...
Uploaded by okayplayer on Nov 8, 2011
Track 9 off undun, ft Dice Raw
Video Directed, Shot & Edited by Clifton Bell for http://www.ghettonerd.com
undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

i dont need nothin, money say it all,
dont get to it frontin, grab their life by the balls gee,
face to face with reality as it stares back at me,
dont need to know when ya in the flowing of bein,
no needa be thinkin things when ya experiencin,
evrything as one can we believe and stand tall,
no chance for the 1% to tryin thieve ya soul.
take ya conscioucness back, it was yours all along,
just depends on what ya whittled to or if ya wna find ya light at all.

If I said The Roots were like the Pink Floyd to Hip-Hop, would that be an acceptable comparison?

@TheRyanMclaughlin really though? lol its a hiphop video. not reality.. sure the roots may be trying to portray reality for some. but hey! sure as hell looks like him.
anyways... classic group with another consistant album thats bound to be a classic eventually.

@gatman0 This isn't stuff to joke about. This is reality for some people and it's sad. I pray that there alright in the end.
