Classics Discussion: The Roots

[Big Mel]

Not a one. Consistently good but no bonafides.

The Roots are my third favorite hip-hop group after Wu and Tribe and Black Thought is in my top 15.

I voted for Illadelph Halflife and Things Fall Apart for classics which are both in my top 50

Things Fall Apart and Illadelph Halflife IMO.

got a recommendation for which artist I should tackle next?

TOP 5 Roots songs. Changes daily but....

 

[Wiirdo]

I hate to say it but for me personally they have no classics. A ton of 7-8/10 albums though. Only real misses for me were The Tipping Point and ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin.

Black Thought is still in my top 10.

Do Boot Camp Clik next, including albums by Black Moon, Smif-n-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and OGC.

Good shout. I'll do that tomorrow. Gonna give this poll one more day to breathe.

 

[Big Mel]

Boot Camp have 2 bonafides classics and a near classic. Sean Price's solo work is a different discussion altogether that takes place when classic lost it's meaning.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

If I can also choose the next one, go for Run-D.M.C.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time
