is this the only track abstract and thought ever did a track together? They just seem to be to skilled to be separated. This is just an unreal display of lyricism even the wackest rhyme rapes the shit out of anybody new I've heard.

@IceKr3aMm I have to say I liked Things Fall Apart and Do You Want More, but I didn't love them. I absolutely love Illadelph Halflife. I think it's a masterpiece. Amazing lyricism, great smoove sound and so much substance. I've listened to all the all-time great albums in rap history. I know a lot of experts might not agree with me, but I truely have this being in my top 10 rap albums of all time. If not in the top 10, just outside. Amazing album!

"I want to be able to reach an MC and a little child in the same degree" - that's a Q-Tip quotable.

@dhunter888 The Roots and Q-Tip did a whole tour in 2010 together that was sponsored by Hennessy, if I remember correctly. I remember seeing the poster of Tip with ?uestlove and Black Thought together promoting the tour.

The Roots are consistant. 4 of their albums are in my top 100. (Illadelph, Do You Want More?!!, Things Fall Apart, Game Theory)

Illadelf Halflife and Do You Want More?!!!??! are in my top 30. Illadelph Halflife is probably in my top 10 or 20.

I second what janmorez sad. I don't see why The Roots aren't bigger than they are.

They're pretty big now. I just saw their new CD under the "top sellers" rack at Best Buy.
At least they didn't sell out though. The Roots are one of the only groups to go mainstream (which they pretty much are at this point) and still make good music.
Sure, they will never make another "Do You Want More?!!!??!" or "Illadelph Halflife" but the shit they make now is still worth the $15.
