Here's a little backtrack on one of the most famous hip-hop groups, The Roots...their second album Do You Want More?!!!??!. I'm assuming most of you have at least heard of them, especially since they're now the in-house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, creating amazing backdrops for some of the musical guests.
While their other albums, such as Things Fall Apart, Phrenology, and especially their latest great effort How I Got Over get most of the attention, I actually think this may be my favorite Roots album. And that's saying something. It has forever changed the one part of my life: whenever I hear the word "proceed", I always say "and continue...to rock the mic" in my head. The title track is one of my favorite all-time tracks, somehow utilizing a bagpipe to making of the hypest tracks I've ever personally heard.
This album also includes the vastly underrated Malik B, as well as the amazing beatboxing of Rahzel (track 10, FTW). It's alsoone of the jazzier efforts of the Legendary Roots Crew..and you know how I like my jazz. If you haven't heard the group (much less this album), get ta' steppin'.
