Alternative rap? I'd probably say..Spoken Word..maybe Ghetto Intellect rap..Social Awarness rap..?? lol

cant believe ive never got into this group before now. Game theory is superb and i love the fusion of hip hop, jazz and funk. im on a mission to buy every album they've made now.

It'll be worth your money..The Roots are great

Just an update: Game Theory is probably my favorite rap album to come out in the last ten years. Pure brilliance that gets better with every listen.

^Ban Him Please Seriously

You're an idiot. What are you trying to get at?

I don't know but i'm tired of reading him say "ban him" to every other user. Maybe I some banning will get done but it won't be who he expects. >:[

I would agree Tipping Point and Phrenology, I could not get into Things Fall Apart no matter how many listens it took.
Luv that 1 song 'pussy galore'
how true; especially in western society: repressing one of our most primal urges and then selling it back to us; sad but true and genius
just as much genius by the roots for recognizing it and being above it.

I recently noticed the Public Enemy references in one of their songs. I think it was "False Media."

Yup, the newst cd is the best .
