The. Roots.

If you know me, you know I've been a die heart fan of this group since the mid-nineties. It's the first thing I tell you after my name (joke). In a time frame when everyone was bumping their favorite No Limit artist, I was soaking in the rhythmic vibes of The Legendary Roots Crew. Weird for a twelve year old right?

My Roots album purchases began in a pre-digital world, so this meant I had to play the couple of cd's, and tapes I owned over and over.. and over. This is my explanation for knowing all lyrics, ad libs, and random comments on "Do you want more?!".

If I had any complaints for my childhood favorite group (1st Roots, 2nd Wu-Tang, 3rd A Tribe Called Quest), it would be the revolving door that the group's supporting musicians enter and exit. All and all, I am pleased The Roots are receiving their just acclaim.
