This is a must have for all lovers of ol’ good hip hop and RnB.
Grammy award winning hip-hop trailblazers The Roots are set to release Rising Down on April 29th via Def Jam Recordings.

Thanks for the album!
aint that cra p…hiphop sucks
this is good hiphop, none of the gangsta rap stuff
the last Root’s release is still gathering dust in my office… hope this is better. Maybe i can use the other one as a drink coaster?
Love how its ok for Blacks to put images of them crushing whites, but not the way around!
Also of note, black people have enslaved, killed and destroyed more blacks than any white slavery ever did throughout history.
But, to blacks, its all whitey’s fault.
As if we put the malt liquor up to their mouthes.
As if we force them not to go to school.
As if we force them to do drugs.
As if we force them to not father their children.
As if we force them to get gold teeth and live on wellfare.
Ya, blame whitey. All the while asians, latinos, midlle eastern folk all seem to thrive here.
yeah…blacks suck
@17 shut up ya racist. Stop trying to justify your RACISM with the “oh poor white me” excuse. Its been refuted, White Males rule the earth, and you are wrong. Off topic. Erase his ignorance.
Also, the Roots (aka. THE SQUARE ROOTS, not “The Legendary Roots Crew” as said in the description) have all but fizzled out as the original crew. Black thought sold out his old crew because he got on some holier-than-thou-anti-drug thing (and instead of stickin’ it out for his homies he just bailed on them) and I’m even suprised that ?love decided to do anything with him anymore. His stuff is all over-produced and with the many complex layers of music. Not to say they aren’t talented, but if you are a fan of Organix, or the Roots come alive, or even things fall apart…you won’t dig their new stuff. PHreneology was the beginning of their (his) end…STOP CALLING IT THE ROOTS and call it something new….
lol @ venomhed and “abc” for taking the time to click and even POST in this thread. go ahead and download the album while you’re here, attentionwhores
i bet the 2 of you sit here all day w/ your finger on the “refresh” button just to see what kind of fun filled action you can get into today…LOL Jesus Christ…
much respect to fans of Good Music, period.
Good post. Forgot this was coming out.
The Roots are indeed class. I happily buy everything they sell.
@17 oh great, another stupid american. sophisticated as bush. climate won’t change and I’ll show you my facts….

When I saw the album cover, I knew the comments section was gonna be full of long diatribes on racism. To your guys’ credit, at least you managed to hold back until #17.
Great post, by the way. Always nice to hear some new joints from The Roots.

Awesome, didn’t know that The Roots were releasing an album this month. They’re one of my favorite artists and their last album was great. Easily their most consistent album to date.
Racism? The most racist people on earth are blacks. And why are blacks the biggest problem in ALL countries not just America?
Keep living your denial. While at it, pick up a book called the Belle Curve.
Your facts are all RIGHT THERE.
thankx, killer album….keep it real dave thankx for the RS link…..Big UP to ya……
“Birthday Girl” is a great collab. I agree though, that it doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the album.

njoi folks
P to the ill ….reppin the 215 ~!
Nice try Venomhed. The album cover has nothing to do with “crushing whites”. The cover represents the feeling the Confederate Union has towards blacks - if given power they would reek havoc and chaos on the country.
