[illscan]

One of the few groups/emcees that I still cop on a consistent basis.

 

[send one]

I gotta hit up Best Buy tomorrow.

 

[toast1985]

The Roots is like a food that is full of flavor, in a world in which everything else is so damn bland.

 

[onetwothreewick]

so good

i will be at borders copping this next tuesday...only group worth the $13 these days.

 

[b smooth 202]

[dgk3188]

im holding out on listening to this.

DEFINITELY buying it on the 29th!!

 

[young dr0]

Yeah I think I'ma cop this. Gotta support that quality music.

 

[GL Rayner]

Gave it a listen last night and I really don't think they can make a bad album. There wasn't one track I did not like. I will be at Best Buy on the29th to purchase this

.

For my Maryland Roots fans: I believe they will be at Towson University on the 26th. Tickets are $20.

 

[viiheaven]

For anybody who has the album already, Birthday Girl wasn't on the album, correct?

You are correct. I'm not too thrilled with that track at all.

 

[onetwothreewick]

15 Birthday Girl 04:05
16 The Grand Return (feat. Dice Raw & Wadud Ahmad) 02:24

 

[dub 253]

Simply amazing.

 

[seven30]

I'll be copping on Tuesday

 

[tical 666]

They have yet to disappiont me. Long live The Roots.

- Tical.

 

[slayer carcetti]

1st listen all the way through and already

 

[MajinZuub]

Cd is awesome. I just did the pre-order on okayplayer.com with the shirt.

 

[illscan]

I think with this album I'm setting my self up for disappointment. It's going to be hard for them to follow up on Game Theory & I know that, but Ican't help but have an unfair level of expectancy. I should take the album for what it is, but...............

 

[ikonstar]

I just started spinning this. So far it's crazy...

 

[definition of dopeness]

One of the few artists i don't have to preview, i just cop on Release day... and i have been readin' good reviews for it.
