How I discovered The Roots..........

Now this less complex then A Tribe Called Quest. I would hear songs from them once in awhile but never pay them any attention. One day I heard "The Seed 2.0" I mean the lyrics are alittle forward I mean my man wants his girl pregnant not now but right now. I liked that song next came "Break You Off", I liked that song, but I never got phrenology tell later. So one day back when I would tape music videos. I heard a song Called "Don't Say Nuthin" and I was like that dew is killing it, by far one of the best hooks I've ever heard. So I checked the cd out(I bought "black on both sides" that same day), I couldn't stop listening to it. It would get better and better after every listen to. I was like if this one's good I should go back and get the rest, so I did and that elevated the Roots to my number 1 ain't any group better then them.

How I discovered A Tribe Called Quest................

Well back in the 90s when I was a little boy I remember in 95 seeing The Wayans bros. and liking it alot, but what I liked alot to was their theme song. That was one of the best theme songs I'd ever heard in my life, but I never knew the name. So as the years went on and never knowing the name I just gave up and forget about it tell, last year when They brought the wayans back and I was like what is the name of that song, So I looked it up and it was a group called A Tribe Called Quest. Now I knew I knew that name from somewhere. I checked them out, I bought "Midnight Mauraders" and I loved it and that's when my top favorites where changed forever.

"No Loot"

Now I know you heard this one before,
but I'ma show you how it's so hard to get in them stores,
where you find 90 dollar draws and 100 dollar hats,
where you pay a entry fee that's more then your check,
and you find a pretty girl behind the counter and then,
she's says "how much you got in the bank" that's when,
you think,
should I say no loots in there,
or should I say there's enough to feed a city in there,
so I though,
she ain't going to think I'm cute,
so I say,
so what i'm not into her too.

I love you guys(not like that like brotherly and Sisterly love)

I didn't know about forums and stuff like that before I came to mp3 and when I did it seems alittle addicting because I found people here that actually have the same views and the same love of music just like I do, I like that. I'm sick of these average listeners and stuff trying to tell me what's good and what's bad when they don't even buy cds all they hear is one radio hit and they say that artist sucks. This year I started giving artist chances because I use-ta be a average music listener but i'll give anyone a chance that's all you need in a life is a chance ya ming.(you know what I mean)

My Theory On The Definition Of A Classic...............

These days that word gets throught around like a football seriously when it comes to that word I think it's kinda losing it's edge because everyone says it's a classic, but why I say their not 100% right or 100% wrong is because to me a classic cd is something that you can truly stand to listen to all the time. I mean there is albums from like Eric B. and Rakim that are good, real good at that and like Slick Rick, Outkast and like Snoop Dogg but I feel they have very good albums but they ain't touched me like some albums,. Now I'm not going to say I hate there albums because I don't but think about it being truthful what album to you truly consider a Classic? Now this category will be different for just about every person you come in contact with, because not everyone likes the same.........(Scratch that last sentence). Lot's of people do like the same music but to me There's only a few Classic/CLASSICs let's say it like that. To Me The Roots "Illadelphia Half-Life" is one A Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Mauraders" is one and Little Brother's "The Minstrel Show" is another one for me. I mean yeah I got respect for the artist that brought out Classic Material(let's say it like that) but be true to yourself and think outside the box about what you really like?

to be the "Fishscale" of 2007, a really nice cd that doesn't get it's true recognition, you need to hear this one, sean is kinda nice. Ever since I heard him on wu-tang meets the indie culture, I though he was good but this one is real nice, it's got beats from j. dilla and 9th wonder that I know of.

Truly revolutionary, I mean if you heard this one you would know what I mean, there is no bad song on this set. I know he says "I'm not a political rapper" but Talib you killed me on this one man.

it's ok but the songs are too much of the same, 2 and 3 word chorus ruin what could be tight songs. Now their is some killer songs on this set but all together it's not happen for me.

it's pretty much a party record. The way they put their words and beats together make this one a collectors item for everybody's collection.
