Anyone find The Roots extremely boring?

[nieman]

He was doing a solo album called masterpiece theater but then used most of his stuff for Phrenology. I've heard a few of the vaulted joints he has...one was a super Philly posse cut with like 20 MCs on it. Mally G...even had EST on it.

I always wondered whatever happened to that track. Eventually I started to think of Masterpiece Theater as an urban legend. LOL

You heard about that song? I recall not liking it that much.

 

[nieman]

The only track I heard off the album was Hardware

 

[The Ruler 09]

Bit harsh to tell the kid to eat a dikk, a lot of older heads think that too. Personally I have respect for The Roots and like them, but I can understand the view point.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Have you heard the What You Do song? You might like that.

Check the Illadelph Half life album. They was giving the mic that work... Pause

 

[Street Knowledge]

Alot of people name drop them as a goat group but never actually listen to them

Plus they're the default answer for "what hip hop artists play instruments though?" question

 

[Ill-Yaz]

This is me when I be listening to Roots

 

[Danie84]

QuestLove is the ultimate cornball

But, Black Thought is so underrated

And, the last album I copped was Rising Down

 

[Theabbot]

I like them because I love pure unadulterated hip-hop. I don't listen for excitement. I listen to hear artists perfecting their swordsmanship.

You must have completely ignored all of their albums. 90% of their tracks are about something.
