they've definitely gone in a direction I don't understand since their days of acoustic street jams & first two official releases, do you want mo' (live drums) and iladelph halflife (live drums sampled & looped). IMO the roots need to get back to their roots, and bring back acoustic hiphop.b0unce wrote:amen, hit the nail on the head there old bean.leisuremuffin wrote: the horrible lack of musicianship and taste is.
listen to the last breakdown section at the end where bt is just noodling aimlessly.... what? and that's just where it's most obviously awful.
I thought the whole track was garbage tho, and BT didnt even enter my thoughts...I just thought 'what the fuck are the roots doing? ...followed by 'I guess I had them pegged for something they're not' ...followed by 'how much did they get paid for this shit?'
and then they had that interview at the end and everything became clear
and thats when BT spoke , and I learned he picked the roots from a list - in much the same way an obscene buisness man might choose a whore in a brothel - thats when I switched off.
all in all, a sickening experience. the roots have bills to pay obviously.... by the way, when did blade II come out ?
Can't f*ck with Questlove though, he's a truly amazing musician.
