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.

Phrenology is great, it just focuses a lot on experimental production techniques and pushing the hip-hop envelope more than the other Roots albums. Do You Want More?!!!??! is one of (if not the) best albums in my opinion; they really got the jazz vibe right on.

He might be right though. Songs like Pussy Galore really don't help make a case for a great album. Sacrifice, Quills and Thought @ Work are exceptional but there's not much more to it other than that. The Tipping Point is probably the equally weakest release, but it starts out great and just fades. Best album though is even harder to decide.

new album is supposed to be much less dark. game theory and rising down are dark because they represent the state of mind of the time just as how I got over will represent the hope of the now.

I didn't really like their last album. For me it was too industrial and too "dark". I wish they return to a more jazzy and soul-like hip hop. Phrenology and Things Fall Apart were amazing.

I hope they will return to jazz-based type of hip hop. New albums sounds better then 99% of hip hop nowadays but it is not good as old albums.
