Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Nothing wrong with a little artificial grazeland, of course, but the Roots are making tasty roughage that blooms into real songs, where raps wind around bass, drums, keys, and horns, and where instruments coil up to voice cadences--where music and lyrics meet and grow together naturally, not coincidentally. You can hear the Roots' heart pump hardest when they pull off the things loops and samples cannot: just check the vocal/instrument interchanges of "Essaywhuman?!!!??!" or the left-turn instrumental digression midway through "Mellow My Man" to witness the living sounds of rap.
The Roots' Philadelphia-based groove collective build slick acid jazz playing around the smooth East Coast rhyming of A Tribe Called Quest and wild West Coast freestyling to create sounds as formless and fluid as jazz, but never unrecognisable as hip-hop. The music picks up where the mad scatting and melodic trills of L.A.'s defunct Freestyle Fellowship left off, and wakes up the tired hype of jazz/rap cross-pollination to new possibilities. The roots of this kind of fusion have long been around, though perhaps these Roots are hope for a new dawning. --Roni Sarig

By Chris (St.Louis,MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do You Want More ?!!!??! (Audio CD)
This hip hop album from the Roots in 1995 is an excellent blend of Jazz backgrounds and the raps are pretty tight.This is some top of the line hip hop right here.keep bumping this album folks this album here is a great release.Lyrics 10/10 Production 10/10 X Factor 10/10 Classic 9/10 Me 9 Overall-48/50 This album gets 5 Mics Also Recomended:If your ever in Green Rivers Kentucky go to Miss Patti's 1880s settlement and buy the 2 inch pork chop even a vegetarian you will love the food.I know this has nothing to do with the Roots but still its the best food ever you can also recoomend some other Roots albums

Finally Rap i can listen to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Do You Want More ?!!!??! (Audio CD)
I am a 16 year old guy that has always liked pretty much all genres of music besides the rap i've heard. This album is not a 5 star album, because even though it is good, there are some things that they could work on. I dont have any other roots albums but i just bought this because i wanted something different. This CD has great hooks, great basslines (they actually change notes througout the song which is great), and way better lyrics than ALL of the mainstream rap out there considering cash, "hoes", and killing is left out of the lyrics. This is something i can say that I enjoy listening to even as a long time boycotter of rap music. Now i will say that the word "nigger" is quite overused...but thats all rap music..so i cant really complain. Thank you Roots for making some great Hip hop that anyone can enjoy.
