Biografia

The Roots are an American hip-hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are famed for a having a jazzy, eclectic approach to hip-hop which includes live instrumentals. Their debut album was released in 1993 and they have collaborated with a wide range of artists from different genres, including Roy Ayers and Cody Chesnutt. The Roots have generated a lot of critical acclaim and influenced many rap and R&B acts.

The group’s original lineup was formed in Philadelphia around 1987.[1] They began to do shows around Philly and in 1992 or 1993, then left to perform in Europe. They rented out a flat in London and performed in Europe for approximately one year. In order to sustain themselves financially, The Roots released what would be known as their debut album: Organix. The album went on to sell about 150,000 copies. Following the release of Organix, several major record labels offered deals and the band signed with DGC Records, which at the time was better known for its grunge music releases. With their new record deal, the quintet headed back to the states.

    @Burn_Infinite33 I'd go for Things Fall Apart. It's a bit different from Illadelphe Halflife, and right now I prefer that.

    @shaolin86 For some reason, I don't really feel Tipping Point that much compared to the rest. It's good, but I always leave it at the bottom of the pile personally. @Yeah_Brah My favorites (which have been changing consistently depending on my mood) are Rising Down, Game Theory and DYWM. I dunno, but there's something about Tipping Point that makes me forget that it even exists.

    @SimonePerrota - didn't want to sound like a dick tho. Just confirming the obvious I guess. @LightningChoke - really? Tipping Point is one of my favorite Roots albums.

    @LightningChoke really? Star/Pointro, Guns are Drawn, Web... there's some great tracks on there!

    Consistency for sure. The only slightly disappointing release so far has been Tipping Point. I sometimes forget that it even exists.

    Easily the best discography in hip hop.

    v well, nobody cares about the grammys anyway. The Roots will always be one of the most original hip-hop groups ever. That being said, I really didn't like Undin all that much.

    Once again, The Roots had easily the best rap album amongst all other grammy nominees... Still, I suppose I'm flogging a dead horse by criticizing the grammys as far as popular music goes...
