smjmcomic,
Hmmm that's hard to say but my fav from them is "Illeadelph Halflife" from 96 or so
I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now; relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!

smjmcomic,
Wasn't bad at all but to me compared to the previous albums it lacked the spirit.....

smjmcomic,

I'm a fan of "Things Fall Apart", "Illadelph Halflife" was a classic, but sounded like a psuedo Tribe Called Quest. They didn't truly reach their voice until "Things Fall Apart" Just my opinion though...

Anditsdeeptoo,

Yeah there's a track on "Things fall Apart" called "adrenaline" which is dope. What's the name of the Roots album which has the track "Silent Treatment" on it? That's probably my favorite Roots track. I can see the album in my head, it has a blue cover and a title like "Do you want more" or something like that.

Peace gee
