The Tipping Point...THIS SHIT IS HOT

[Lardlad95]

Only ten tracks, not like the usual Roots albums which are very long. But these ten tracks are incredible. Even though "Don't Say Nuthin" isn't the best song, teh album is still great. Especially "Star" which is a cover of the Sly and the Family Stone song and "Guns are Drawn"....but the best song is "Stay Cool"

The music on this album is incredible. THis is going to the tops of the Roots Discography..


1. The Tipping Point
2. Things Fall Apart
3. Do You Want More
4. Illadelph Halflife
5. Phrenology
6. The Roots Come Alive

*edit*: Oh and the instrumental at the end of Why is just straight funky man

I'll second that.

It's much better than Phrenology and they even used the beat of De La Soul's Ego Trippin on Stay Cool which worked with the song. I still with Malik B. was with the group though.

Yeah...Malik always came with it. Case in point just look at his verse on Adrenaline (TFA)

I'm really liking this album and think it's defintely better than Phrenology.

:) Blackthought's on spot imitations of Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap on "Boom".

:) Blackthought straight rapping for over 4 minutes on some old school shit on "Web".

:) Sampling Sly and The Family Stone.


"Bass for ya face!"
