The Roots - The Tipping Point 20th Anniversary

[I love Latina women]

Just realized it’s been 20 years since this album came out

Nothing ground breaking but a decent album nevertheless


Stay Cool was nice

Star had the nice sampling of Sly & the Family Stone’s Everybody is a Star

Web was another cool joint


Time be flying by

I don't understand the roots; black thought dropped some of the hardest if not THE hardest freestyles I've ever heard....

and that shyt is nowhere to be found on their albums

personally really liked the album but im not one of those everything i enjoy is a classic type

put me on gladwells book as well and having dont say nuthing as a single AT THE TIME took some BALLS

Unique act in hip hop that im not completely sure gets its deserved props so threadstarter for this although its not necessarily an album that requires a 20th.

Thought is top10 in my book, no doubt

Yeah same here


Yeah the only reason i made the thread was because I going through a bunch of albums I had in storage and listening back to them

But I agree, this isn’t a milestone album by any means, just a decent album at best


Thanks for the props

The albums are more about songs, than freestyle raps.

But their first 4 albums are full of countless classic material. Even on those, Black Thought goes off! Just in song form.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

This is easily their worst main studio album, but they didnt have a lot of control here

I’ll take your word for it

Last Roots album I heard was How I Got Over and I don’t remember a single song from it

Their last great album to me was Game Theory

Listen to Cheat Codes (The album), that might be more of what you are looking for.

I thought How I Got Over was good. At the very least it gave Kendrick a beat to make a classic on haha

it was a good album...I liked that and the illadelph one.....but I'd be lying if I thought black thought was anything special off it....his freestyles blew my mind

Game Theory was definitely the end of the run, but Rising Down had some good sh*t on it too.

exactly, Game Theory was the last great album they put out

i'll have to go back and listen to Rising Down again, only song from that album i still listen to is the title track.
