Everywhere...You never there.
Doing the show means they can stop touring nonstop. And they can continue making music they want.


That doesn't make them afrocentric though :patrice:



Of course. .. I just posted that as an oversimplification of the likely thought process before accepting that gig. The Jimmy gig has them set for life. And I'm not mad at.that . But again, Thought appears uncomfortable at times. He's come around though.

And Thought has always peppered his lyrics with black oriented content. On the third (might have been the second album) studio album (not counting organix) , he refers to himself as "pro black" ...

He got at Nas publicly on the radio for frontin like he was really giving back to Africa when Thought gave examples of how he was really doing it.


But no, the RooTs and Quest are not Afrocentric.






And y'all went too hard in this thread. :wow:

The roots music is Afro centric black thought raps about the black community and the evils of the music industry look at all their album covers you don't know shot about the roots

Stop hating on underground hip hop fans

So ice cube is afrocentric?? Is a tribe called quest afrocentric??? Immortal technique afrocentric??? Is krs one and chuck d afrocentric??

They rap about the same thing u talking about..

People just want to put a label on them to separate themselves from the radio/media popular arrist other people listen to, so they can say" I listen to afrocentric artist, not these lil Wayne's of the world"

nikka what kinda roots albums have you been listening to? Every roots album is very black to the core about issues affecting the black people in general from Africa to here in the states....Listening to Singing Man on Rising Down....When the People Cheer on When you shoot your cousin.....don't talk out of your ass :martin:


yes and no, but let's not act like they're dead prez or X-Clan
