underrated acts of all-time. Not to say they haven't their fair share of shine,
because you won't hear them complaining. But their talent is that huge.

Already earning his props with vintage mixes of artists such as Nas, Kool G Rap

dude thx for that drop, for all of yall who have not seen the Roots live in concert and yall missing one of the livest concert/hip hop acts ever. Ill been a fan since Organix in the early 90's and they have changed their style of music. It takes some getting adjusted too cause their first albums were pure uncut hiphop with a touch of jazz, the Rpots picked up right where Tribe Called Quest left off.

It's just like with Common, he style changed over the years, but I can still pump his first 4 albums harder than his last 2. But definitely check the Roots when they come to your town. They comin to Chi on sep 23 with Big Daddy Kane and MC Lyte. :dance:
