***** Web 2.0......I let youngins here him go off om that. Most rappers now dont have a style for a high BPM type song. Also, hiphop is in this Singing-Rap fusion. I hear dudes say, "You hear those bars Fetty wap [or Future] dropped?" I think...those dudes are singing! Lol
This group, as a whole, is something that has never been replicated in Hip-Hop. The instrumentation, cohesiveness, and conscious lyrics have them among my most critically accepted groups in the rap game's history. The stand alone, last Hip-Hop group left, The Roots.
I meant that has impact in the mainstream. There well respected for there stuff on Late night and also critically. I know there is a plethora of underground groups that are dope, but the roots are the only one in the public eye.
When I was 14 years old and first heard this, it completely blew my mind and I've been fan of the Roots ever since. One of the greatest hip hop crews ever.
My friends and I found Roots in 96 97. We completely fell out over them. We went to a disc jocky to look for more and we found the Do You Want More? album. We completely lost our minds...
I was 16 and high as shit in Summer of 94 first when I heard this-I knew it was some type of shit I never heard before. And not to mention I was a huge hip hop head at the time and from South Jersey. Roots became one of my fav groups
He definitely brought a rugged element but nahhh you buggin 😂. BT is a transcendental MC and enough by himself for me to buy any Roots album the second it drops.
it's probably between this and Concerto of the Desperado. I say probably cause I'm still binge listening to the Roots right now. Forgot about quite a few tracks smh
This album (Do You Want More?!!!??!) has never been ejected out of my stereo unit since its release back in 1995. #Fact #ForeverTheRoots Rise in Power, MALIK B!
As a old school hip hop head I wish there was a petition to sign to get The Roots inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they are that accomplished. They remind me of bands back in the 70's just a jazzy, funk, hip hop style is the only thing different from back then. There's no such thing as bands nowadays which sums up how the garbage is on the radio today!
'94 was the renaissance, but 88 had "It takes a nation of millions" (greatest hip-hop album ever), "Straight Outta Compton" "Strictly Business" "By Any Means Necessary" "Great Adventures of Slick Rick" "Critical Beatdown" "Long Live the Kane" "Straight Outta the Jungle." All of which were given 5 mics by source. Not including Rob Base, Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte, Biz Markie, Eric B. & Rakim, Run-DMC, Heavy D, & so put out great music that year. No year competes!
R.I.P Malik B your legacy will always live on Forever brother it's sad asf that we lost another legend man wtf but The Roots For life🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊🎵💯💯💯💯🎵🎧🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
We were so fortunate to live through this era
So fckn right bruh, what a blessing.
Amen and amen again!
RIP Malik B 🙏 One of his most iconic verses right here.
Yes he did but so did Black Thought.
Dakota Steinmeier What?
That’s,peace!
So many of em
It’s hard to tell him and Black Thought apart…
This is in my 90s playlist right near electric relaxation.
“People, there's no equal, or no sequel” - Malik B R.I.P.
Go get your dictionary and your Pictionary 😎Malik B lives on🙏🏾
Best Musical ERA EVER YO, Damn i wasso lucky to be a teen in the 90s. So much diversity in Hip Hop it was true Artistry back then.
OK I've listened to hip hop 50 years now, not an uber fan but always loved it.
Wtf have I never heard of roots? This is a choooooooooon 👌🏼
That’s wild actually
Well I’m glad you found them and I’m kinda envious
malik b is mad underrated as an emcee..this one of the illest joints eva
+Devon Devon33 Yes. Second verse was tight.
hell yes!
No doubt, had to listen to this several times to understand all the wordplay.
Malik b is definitely underrated
RIP
Black Thought is one of the all time greatest emcees. Top 10 easily.
+Manriel207 Man, glad others know his greatness. He is my all time fav MC
100% Agree. Among the most consistent lyricist ever.

He has argument for being the goat....
Ric Smith Black Though aka Tyreke Trotter is my aunt's ( aka Minnie Trotter ) son so that makes him my cousin. I'm not lying. Im 9
This album was unreal. My top 5 of all time
Yep, this is my favorite album of them.
Absolutely
I must say Illadelph half-life is a close runner up tho

Ryan Kuefler De La Soul is timeless and influential...
Ryan Kuefler de la soul, wu tang, tribe called quest

Favorite Dope MC Line Ever:
"Ayo I'm Every Emcee
It's All In Me
That's The Way It Is
Way It Gotta Be"-Black Thought of The Legendary Roots Crew
Musically still standing the test of time in 2020.
This beat is so dark and wicked. Love it.
Like this is what hip hop was about damn what happened lol smh
I used to rock this cd hard! I won't waste time arguing about what year was the best in rap....we are just blessed to have the roots in our speakers!
Dope! Classic!
Perfect song to listen to late night when you can't sleep
damndisplace07 this and the bong..
damndisplace07 just what I'm doing now...
UBZUKKI Same here! 👊
I agree
Me rn
Their best album, so much replay value.
"People, there's no equal and no sequel."
Malik B. 2020. Godspeed, captain.
Was at Howard University on a high school trip....Roots was blasting!!!DC
The Roots are hiphop, funk, jazz, indie, combined to a perfect blend of musical completeness.
How come nobody ever talks about how dope Malik B is?
Because he chose to get high over his career
When I was 14 years old and first heard this, it completely blew my mind and I've been fan of the Roots ever since. One of the greatest hip hop crews ever.
My friends and I found Roots in 96 97. We completely fell out over them. We went to a disc jocky to look for more and we found the Do You Want More? album. We completely lost our minds...
Respect from Poland.
I was 16 and high as shit in Summer of 94 first when I heard this-I knew it was some type of shit I never heard before. And not to mention I was a huge hip hop head at the time and from South Jersey. Roots became one of my fav groups
Most underrated act in all of hiphop. So far ahead of their time. Been a fan since organix in 93. Roots crew
23 years after dropping this EP and this track is still DOPE!! geeezus!
28 now 😳
that laugh killed me so many times hella good it is with that music behind
If you don't smile when you listen to this song that means you don't love hip-hop.
Didn't know laughing could be an instrument 'till I heard this song
Absolutely killed it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥whewwwww
This was the first Roots song I ever heard some 25 years ago. To me it doesn't even sound old. R.I.P Malik B.
I miss Malik B. I haven't bought a Roots album since he left. I'm sure the music is still dope, but he was an important part of the group IMO.
Ryan Cole L
Ryan Cole Malik was nice but come on bruh.
There is no Roots, without MALIK B!!!! 😱
Yeah they kind of lost that rawness and street hip hop sound the two first albums embodied so well.
He definitely brought a rugged element but nahhh you buggin 😂. BT is a transcendental MC and enough by himself for me to buy any Roots album the second it drops.
ITS HARD TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT RAP MUSIC USED TO BE THIS DAMN GOOD.
Wow.
Wild that im 30, and ive heard about the roots before but never really checked them out. Every song ive listened to today is a banger lmao. WIld
I saw the Roots in the early 90s live at Ybor City Tampa FL , it was at a club it was one of the best shows I ever seen!
This take me back to another place and another time!
This is art.
this was the hardest song they ever dropped
mmm...probably
it's probably between this and Concerto of the Desperado. I say probably cause I'm still binge listening to the Roots right now. Forgot about quite a few tracks smh
it was. I grew up with this
Mad_Intalect Exactly my thoughts. Nice. Big up!
Hardest? Everybody who said that is fucking Stupid and are not a fan of the roots
Doppest joint from The Roots in my opinion
Same. RIP Malik B.
I remember watching on rap city like....who the fuq is these cats?!?! Stuck ever since.
Most def .. r.i.p.malik b
Bahamadia it's the jawn is like this. More complex lyrics
Bahamadia it's the jawn is like this. More complex lyrics

#Fact
#ForeverTheRoots
Rise in Power, MALIK B!
This album is above the Normal. Got Me thru highschool in 1996
THE OG ROOTS#1
I agree, 1993 was in my opinion the best year in hip-hop for the 90's!
I heard this song while in college at Famu in the early 90s. I then became a true fan to the Roots
This is the joint that made me a Roots fan!
Damn!! The real hip hop with a real musicians!!
1988 and 1994 are the two most important years for hip-hop, look it up. Peace!
1996 as well. Illadelph Halflife, ATLiens, IWW, The Score, etc
