Classic Roots
If your a true Roots fan, you should have this one in your collection! Ry-Gy's Hip-hop Review: The Black Thought and Common (not in this video) are the two best "Live" Hip-Hop performers in the game . They would make the best pound for pound match up in knowledge transfer in the modern era of hip-hop. Yet, the Roots Band and Common's band set the tone for a hipnotic flow. Live hip-hop bands are starting to set lofty standards that will change the face of live performances. These artists dynamic and creative freestyles create the illiusion your spending a night in your basement flowin' with friends.
Totally.Organic
The "Clones" video was my introduction to The Roots. I wish I could say that I picked up on them via the Organix album...but Illadelph Halflife was my intro. Anyway, when I first saw the video, I was blown away. I never heard Hip-Hop produced like this. It was so organic and musical. I love straight rhyming and heavy (drum-machine) beats (and always will)...and I consider synthesized muisc and the artists that make it to be true musicians...but I also like to hear real instruments...and The Roots brings this musicianship to Hip-Hop. I would love to see Hip-Hop proceed in this direction. Where artists use music theory to bring their skills to the masses.
