Also classic! True lyrical composure plus mic stamina- the essence of an emcee to damage ya-Jeru

I worked at a skate shop in Holland back in the day. My boss was this NYC graffiti pioneer, Quik, and he had these American Hip Hop tapes in the store, like them DJ Mixtapes and all that, with B&W photocopied covers. I spent the money I was earning on them tapes... this was one of them, it was a full on album instead of a mixtape though and despite or maybe because of that it got the heaviest rotation and never got old. Thats why I'm here today. Good times where had.

Classic! If only Hip Hop of today was in this art form, it wouldn't be that bad. I'm glad that I was in my mid 20's during this era of music. And back when the Roots was the only "Hip Hop Band" Turntables were courtesy of Rahzel the human Beatbox! My era of rap music. Flavor!!!!!

Verse 2 (Black Thought)The implorer, the universe explorerTreat M C's like the cities of Sodom and GomorrahLeavin' these niggaz open like a box of PandoraWith styles that's newer than the world orderApproximately three quarters of y'all are water I straight deport yaThen orchestrate your torture with roots of cultureThe pill brimmage to the line of scrimmage up against your imageWhere life is a heist, and the strong get a percentageIt's ill as a war and within' it I'm the lieutenantThat surrounds you like a peninsula to snatch the pennantYou fold like Japan's futons and fansWhile I design a plan to make a rapper step like a pedestrianI crush a mountain into grands of sandYour pain stains the hand that held the mic inserted to the standThe desperado, that refuse to followThe fifth afficianado, break you up into parts like vibratoI deep like the dark of the nightNiggaz is sweet and sound silly when they talk on the micThey use the simple back and forth the same old rhythm that's plainI'd rather ultra magnetize your brainIt's the Hip-Hop purist, that leave you lost like a touristInside the chorus, niggaz is bringin' nothin' for usAs we breakin' 'em down to fractions, tell your squadronIt's time to go to war respond react

Quiero compartir el hecho de que he sido impactado por esta banda. Esta canción solo sustenta la magia de la "Legenday crew +TheRootsVEVO "

They peaked on this album ! This song embodied everything I remember about the album. The superior rap skills, the supreme hip-hop beats, even though those beats were created from live instrumentation, which was still a novelty act at the time, etc. I mean I love Things Fall Apart too, but that follow-up album was cruising on the plateau that had already been set never to be passed. The Roots never really fell off to me, they just reached a plateau they never exceeded here on Illadelphalflife. Afterwards, they diversified and stopped exclusively feeding the B-boy as much, and started to catering to all music. For that, I ain't mad.

I remember watching this video in the fall of 1996 when I was in 6th grade at that time. 1996 was the wild year especially for 2Pac and Biggie. But they never had a chance to make peace with each other. The Roots got my attention since Organix or Do You Want More????????!!!!!!! days. 1996 was the beginning hip hop's decline when a lot of great joints came out in 96 - Songs and Albums. I was 11 years old when this video came out and that was superior hip hop tune. Black Thought was nice on the microphone. Oh yeah, Rahzel is the genius behind the beat-boxing sound. After 1996, 2Pac and Biggie's gone, No Limit/Cash Money blew up and hip hop died down in 1999 before Nas put out Hip Hop is Dead in 2006. Great memories back then.
