see The Roots live...

only proof you need that they are the true essence of hip-hop period.

when they break into their medley of classic tracks by mobb deep, nas, outkast, de la, black sheep, tribe, jungle bros, wu-tang, BDP, run-dmc, doug e. fresh, pete rock & CL, etc... :blessed:


shyt will make you feel like :ohlawd: & :mjcry: at the same time.

They have a terrific catalogue to me anyway

But I will say this:I always thought it was sus that they came in taking shots at commercialized rappers and then did the deals that they did very soon. Oh well, I guess it didnt effect their music (Well aside from a couple of singles) so its fine

Great band but slightly overrated in certain circles with a good, if inconsistent, catalog

They benefited from being fairly visible at the turn of the millennium, and with ?uestlove becoming one of the first celebrity bloggers/taste makers. The Jay connection that ?uest pushed helped keep them in the mainstream eye as well

They're reputation as a live band, with an elite MC (Thought) and an outspoken music historian drummer (?uest), in addition to their connection to the Backpacker scene, and them being on a major label kinda pushed them forward
And they give one hell of a live show:wow:

Illmatic is overrated but that's for another thread.


y'all nikka do not write cultural based real reviews.
plus not bboys
so, I really know you nikkaz just trying to play dress up.
Hip-Hop elitists told me The Roots, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli were real hip-hop and better than everything that's on the radio :yeshrug:


why do nikkaz wanna try to fake everything about hiphop culture.
yet you really do not like it and have no interest in it.
why are you nikkaz here.

go do sumfin else better and leave hiphop culture, the pillars, bboys and girls out of your lives.

if you do not like hip hop culture.
You are wack period.

you can try to hide, fake it but real bboys know you are a toy.


stop trying to be us, sound like us, dress like us,..
go be house or rnb like you want.
leave hiphop culture out of your life.


that goes for all you toys.
the entire cadre of the general youse's.
Who are toys.

you have no skill discipline, no crew, no tag, no pillar.
no knowledge of self, no prescient ideas.
you need to go find something else to do.
you are a toy.

you are not a part of hip hop culture.
I do not care how the leo Burnett marketing has you fooled.


you are a toy.

My nikka it's Christmas :mjtf:



And wasn't you in this very thread co-signing and calling them sellouts???

I didn't even say all that. All I said was I don't see the hype.

I'ma Toy? Wtf are you, Woody?? :mjlol:



Hip-Hop heads are not a monolith. Certain albums that are highly favored, I listen to them and don't see the big deal. There's plenty albums that deserve to be regarded as classics that get overlooked.

Just cuz people regard certain albums and artists as classics/legends don't mean we all gotta agree. So keep your panties in a bunch and stop getting offended over opinions of others.

Illmatic just ain't my vibe. My personal opinion is it's overrated. :yeshrug:

You are a toy. Why are you here? It's clear you do not like the culture.


The culture is not for you. The culture is within knowledge and intellect.

you do not possess these things. Toy. You're Andy's play thing.

you just here because you do not have shyt else in your life.

I know so, because you not on shyt in no pillar.
like i said before.
which goes over toys heads.
you have no pillar, no tag, no crew, no skill discipline.

you just a wack nikka and you know i know so and everyone else knows you are wack.
only wack nikkaz have issues with the culture.
as they do not know it and will not do the due diligence ever.
yet have emotional public outburst.
In a failed effort to deflect away from the fact. They themselves know.
they are not ever going to put forth the effort in no skill or pillar, and thus the culture.


you not fooling nobody, nobody.
Plus you on the net and trying to hide behind a monitor.
as you know the real person behind the monitor.
would expose themselves as being wack.

now pardon me.
as i go really be a top tier second best in all of hip hop real emcee.
with a higher skill discipline in graf and a former higher skill discipline in breaking as well.


you nikkaz are toys and you have these questions because you will never DO.


you never was and never gon do's.
now go please yourself by thinking because you have access to a web portal.
you doing sumfin in your life.
