Re: The Roots - Rising Down

''Dice Raw's verse does his commentary on how the new minstrel image of black people is in vogue now — how that's the image that's being sold to you. It's really hard to hold on to your dignity and not resort to shucking and jiving to sell records.''

Thoughts? It does seem like the most head-shaking artists shoot up to the top and there is some success for Common, The Roots, etc. that aren't base but a lot of good artists are just on the fringe... they need a dance move, I guess.

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

This song is meh. I think the distortion on the vocals works for the roots most of the time like on false media and the seed, but on this song it just annoys me. Too much treble and it's too noisy.

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

Okayplayer leaked another song...Get Busy feat. Dice Raw, Peedi and DJ Jazzy Jeff...

I don't like Thought saying "_____side" during the hook...I like the beat though, kinda grimey...

The video should be out at some point in the near future, I believe they shot it at the same time as the 75 bars video...

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

Well, I think the first real single is gonna be the one with dude from Fall Out Boy, so I'd imagine that it'd come out in a month or so...This might just be for the heads...

Re: The Roots - Rising Down



The unofficial video for the new single 'Birthday Girl'. I didn't check out the other tracks but this one sounds pretty cool.
