I will keep this brief. I like the album. Standout tracks are Walk Alone, Radio Daze,Now Or Never and The Day...This is not including the tracks I have talked about here already or currently play. In English, I like the majority of the album a lot. I don't want to ruin it for people on this scale by talking too much about it. Just go get it. Unless you are one of those 'fans' who likes for them to stay in same lane they were in when you first discovered them. I am not one of those fans. I know they need to do what they need to eat and I happen to enjoy how they are doing it. Sue me.





You can purchase it here on Itunes. I plan on going to the store and doing things the ole fashioned way and making a purchase.

The Roots....Interview...Ms. DramaTV


He speaks on them being one of the first to deal with hip hop at age 40ish and the myth of hip hop being 'strictly youth based', which is what I have always maintained. Hip hop isn't old enough to say it is strictly youth based and WILL ALWAYS BE YOUTH BASED. It isn't old enough to make that claim. Yes, older heads have listened to it but this is truly the first generation to have actually COMPLETELY GROWN UP on hip hop. Not just picked it up when they were 20 years old and the like. @ those who are older that loved hip hop but put it down after they hit this point. We (yes, I am in that generation) GREW UP WITH HIP HOP. Period point blank. Probably not going to put it down if we are hardcore fans. Subject matter will change of course but the genre itself? No. lol
