shits hot as fuck mayne, the roots are heat but my nigga common ripped this shit up
Yes indeed! The Roots, Common: Heat rocks!
This is what a trakc with LEGENDS on it it supposed to sound like.
Hott lyrics where the beat doesn't outshine the artists!
Some old school shit!
You don't get too many trakcs like this anymore...
~Be Eazy!
when i hear good hip-hop music like this i try 2 enjoy it as much as i can, cuz i kno the system will get infiltrated with BULLSHIT music that gets released every 5mins
the drums on this joint was mad...i fux with this 1
i bet you guyz that love lil wayne so much you would give him a blow job u fuckin losers
deez two damn nice collabo
deez two damn nice collabo
I don't know why, but everytime I hear The Roots, I always think of that Dave Chappelle episode with ol dude banging his drums "motiviating" the whole damn barbershop.
haha..word..?uestlove is the shit and that episode was funny as fuck "white people love guitar"
just more consistently hot material from The Roots.. 8 albums deep & still among the hip hop elite.. im guessing we wont be saying the same thing about hip hop "acts" like Soulja Boy or Yung Berg 10 years from now...
-Real Hip Hop Stand Up
Thank you sir; properly stated. This lineup is an example of hip-hop in its purest form -- CRACK!
at the rate that hip-hop is moving at and the rate that WACK RAPPERS are being signed, 10 years down the line from now....there will be like 100,000 more of them bubble gum niggaz....and sad to say i believe they will be running shit
WE GOTTA DO SOMTHING OR THE ONCE LOVED GENRE WILL BE DISRESPECTED AND EVENTUALLY DIE
Hip-Hop at it's finest. Black Thought killed it, Common was cool. I like that marching band beat.
This shit is str8 heat rock! Black Thought can go head up wit anybody....... And Common..... well need I say more????? This ain't no rinky dink one dimensional muzik... this iz muzik u can visualize when you hear it....
that real hip hop that missin from the shelf what u feel when you listen to yourself

Oh yea, liking this song right now.
I'm straight gonna play this in my car and show people around my way wut real music really sounds like.
Black thought is a beast and why the fuck are these nut ass young bulls mentioning lil whoopigoldberg on a damn roots track
this song has mad skills back in the day shit
damn this is damn good music ppl.....listen
This song is another example of how HIP HOP and RAP are 2 different things...
HIP HOP= pac, big, lupe, roots, jay, etc
RAP= soulja girl, lil wayniac, flo-rida, etc
And the roots are "gentlemen of an extraordinary league, you never see them blowing on no ordinary weed, cuz what they smoke aint a product of no ordinary seed"
I'm not sure if Soulja Boy is even rap even they have limits
black nipples all in my face
I haven't head the whole album yet (4/29) but i just found my fav track! crack.
"I hit him like Ethiopia hit up Italy"
the legendary always brings sense!!!
I need to listen to The Roots more...Common = Chi Town's God
This shit is hot
Legends of Alternative Rap meet
this is aight.....black and common tight as always...
str8 hip hop im feeling this
Real hip hop
the roots always deliver that real shit. this is Hip-Hop...shit that's actually from the heart and mean something. not that rap shit where clowns is living fary- tale's of being scar'face and being a killer when they've never touched a gun in their life.
You can tell this shit will bump in the ride. Really looking forward to that Rising Down on tuesday!
THIS IS KNOCKING!
CLASSIC!!! I THINK THE ROOTS HAVE A 5 MIC'ER WITH THIS ALBUM. ALL THE TRACKS I HAVE HEARD FROM THIS ALBUM ARE BANANAS!!!
Man this album sounds like it is going to be a banger. Much love to The Roots Crew one of the most under rated crews ever. Common keep killing it GOOD MUSIC is doing it....
anyone notice how common ended his verse like 3000 off elevators (me and you)
