Hip-Hop elitists told me The Roots were "real Hip-Hop"

[Rekkapryde]

im not big on most of their stuff but illadelph halflife is a CLASSIC from top-to-bottom.

CLASSIC I tell ya.

Things Fall Apart was flawless. But those 2 albums back to back are incredible.

Being a kid hearing Dre & Snoop warped my brain. The Roots sound blah in comparison. I love You Got Me but I can really say I never gave them a shot

 

[Tunez]

they were



until they sold out and became a house band for an unfunny cac

Which is ironic since What They Do was more a shot at Biggie/Junior Mafia and the Jiggy shyt coming out the East Coast.

pimp c always struck me as someone with a reality disorder.

Pimp def did to much sometimes. I guess that's why Percy had to discipline him.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Roots got no songs that bang in the whip

This is a bold faced lie

Roots have shytloads of bass heavy songs

I think they produced Baduizm, which also makes the trunk rattle

You can't wait for that train to come in huh

The only two Roots album I listen to are The Classic Illadelfhalflife and Do You Want More I never got the hype for Things Fall Apart

 

[The Dust King]

This whole thread smells like Ecko Unlimited.

When is the last time someone told you The Roots were “real hip hop” ? 2003?

You old posters need to let these old arguments go.

what does ecko unlimited smell like?

on the real, they first joints from Organix to Things Fall apart, were great albums. after I enjoyed the shyt out of Things Fall apart, I was waiting to keep that same dopeness in Phrenology, i was sadly disappointed. in fact all albums after that were kind of meh to me.
