  • the great hip hop debate is the shit. hands down!! this roots album is great. my only problem is it feels short.

  • Thank you for the compliment on the video review. You know what...it is a little short, but not exceptionally short. I think The Roots were very focused on the theme this time around, and they eliminated anything that didn't follow. That's why "Birthday Girl" is nowhere to be found on the album.

  • buy the fucken album and quit uploading the shit. support the brothers!

  • Bought the album. It continues to grow on me. This band is absolutely consistent, and if they NEVER go platinum, I have a feeling the history books will provide much greater accolades and recognition than stupid-ass pop recognition ever will.
