Let me start by saying that I typically don't listen to Hip Hop that often aside from the Beastie Boys occasionally. I DO watch Jimmy Fallon almost every night and therefore have come to appreciate the talents of The Roots.
On a whim I bought the new Roots album "Undun". AWESOME STUFF!! Great playing, great writing, killer mix and production. It reminds me of a true album. You can listen to this album from start to finish. It's not a couple hits surrounded by filler.
Cheers!

Re: The Roots
They're great! I bought an album they did with John Legend a couple years ago called "Wake Up", putting a modern spin on 1970's classic soul songs.

Re: The Roots
Thanks for the heads up on these albums. I had their first few albums but kinda lost touch with them after tipping point.
