that one with mos def is pretty nice.

Roots always had features tho, they was only credited inside the inserts and not on the back cover as feat.

Yeah didn't like the past two albums but this one i think i'm diggin.

The Roots always grows on you.

I loved Game Theory (their last one), The Tipping Point (the one before that) I didn't like that much, but I did really enjoy Phrenology (the one before tipping point)

but then again, I'm a big Roots fan.....I hella want to buy this, I've purchased every Roots album....usually the day it came out (obviously not organix, but I do have the original cd of that)

They put on a free concert here about two weeks ago. I've seen them live a couple times, but last time they just killed it.
