The Roots - Rising Down

I got a slew of news on this in the last few days, so I guess a thread is deserved. Album's due out April 29th...

First and foremost, here's a song off the album...It's called "75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction)"...It's a lot like Thought@Work and other songs of that ilk really, just spitting for an extended amount of time, no hook...

http://nahright.com/news/2008/02/22/...econstruction/

Entertainment Weekly put up a track-by-track breakdown of the current songs...Pretty lengthy...

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20179171,00.html

Also gives out some of the already done collaborations as well as expected collaborations. Emcees featured on the album at this point include: Common, Mos Def, Porn, Truck North, Styles P, Peedi Peedi, Lupe Fiasco, Wale, Patrick Stump (of Fall Out Boy) and Malik B.

MTV News also has short article up as well...

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/158...25/roots.jhtml



?uesto is calling the new album the most political one to date. Reportedly releasing it on April 29th is by design, as it would be the 16th anniversary of the LA Riots.

Really? You slept on Game Theory, Keaf? Even my dad thought that was a hot album.

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

I don't know a person that isn't cool with the Roots once they give them a listen.

Re: The Roots - Rising Down

While I totally disagree with Sliccat...Game Theory was certainly the best album in 06, and one of the Roots better releases. In my mind though, nothing will probably ever hop over THings Fall Apart. That's my favorite one...

Tipping Point
Game Theory
Things Fall Apart

They're all so good! I could never pick a favorite.
