Classics Discussion: The Roots

[phatphuck]

illadelph and dywm

things fall apart is solid too. surprised how theres no obvious classics in the poll though

cover hieroglyphics, alkaholiks, j5 in your future polls too

 

[nieman]

Is the reason people saying that they have no classics due to thge "impact" of the album? Just curious.

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

#coliclassics back
I got to go with zero for the Roots
I really liked Illadelph Halflife too
But it's largely been forgotten.
Same with pretty much all their albums on this poll.
Black Though is crazy underrated though
It doesn't make sense. The Roots had an impeccable reputation through TFA, then Phrenology dropped, and their whole colossal stopped
I can't believe they fukked up and dropped a half ass album
I didn't really rock with them again until How I Got Over.

Phrenology was dope tho. it had some of their best drumming
