In 1993 while I was in
I had never seen or heard anything about The Roots until I walked into that
Everyone around me was going nuts over Distortion to Static and I just wasn't on board. We'd watch the video and I wasn't moved as much as them. Some of my friends went looking for the 12" single and I again didn't feel it as strong. They'd have to do better than that.
All that went out the window after I heard Illadelph Halflife. Once I got slapped in the face with Respond/React, What They Do, Clones and Concerto of a Desperado, I made sure I got a CD copy of Do You Want More any chance it was presented to me. They got the answer in reverse.
I guess what concerned me is the direction The Roots had gone over their last few albums. From Game Theory to Rising Down, they had gotten darker and barely recognizable as hip hop. Yet, I still wanted to hear whatever they put out.
Things Fall Apart is
one of those albums that take you back in time and you remember the
glory days of hip hop. Thank goodness I learned my lesson before Dynamite!
