First things first, the Roots are one of my favorite hip hop groups and have been repping my city of Philly for WAY over 15+ years but lately I haven't really been feeling their albums post Things Fall Apart. Don't get it twisted, they're some jawns on all of those albums but as a whole I can't put in any of those albums, hit play and be good. It's like Illadleph and TFA had that boom bap sound that I loved but after that it was hit or miss. How I Got Over was dope but to me it had way TOO many guests MC's cause damn near EVERY song was featuring someone when I prefer Thought get busy on his own. So to not let those albums go to waste and collect dust I threw together a mix of some of the Root's remixes, live performances and songs off those "other albums." Check it out:
