The Roots "Things Fall Apart"

Why don't The Roots get their just due? Well just listen to the intro of "Things Fall Apart". They don't play the music that people don't normally listen to. Today I re-purchased this legendary album and I forgot just how great this CD was. Black Thought is a crazy lyricist and what makes him so great is that he raps to a live band. The Roots always displayed a message in their music and for over 15 years that hasn't changed.

If you don't have this album you need to check out songs like "Setp Into The Relm"


you also need to listen to "The Spark"

This album is damn near a classic. Just look at the CD cover it makes you want to buy the CD.



What is greater and more orginal than a rapper who performs every song with a live band? This album is Hip-Hop at its best. And I am always going to highlight good music.

Long Live Real Hip-Hop.

I just had to revisit this cd myself like a week ago. That shit is a classic. People really need to stop hatin on black thought. The man is a genius lyricist!
