I meant to post this on Monday but I just got too busy and didn’t get a chance BUT I have been listening to The Roots new album for almost a week now and I’m in love with it. First listen, I wasn’t blown away but by the second one, I was addicted. As if anyone expected The Roots to NOT drop a dope album and reinvent their sound again, How I Got Over is maybe my favorite Roots album in recent years. That is saying a lot because I love everything they drop. Despite the delays, How I Got Over is nearly flawless from beginning to end. There are a few guest features I could do without and maybe one or two hooks but the album sounds incredible and doesn’t need one skip. There are only a few artists/groups that manage to continuously put out amazing music regardless of the current state of music. Outkast, The Roots and UGK were a few that seem to bring dope music every single time. I wish other of rap’s most beloved stars could take a page from The Roots book. I not only recommend listening to How I Got Over but go purchase a copy and support good music. It’s hard to even pick a favorite joint but right now it has to be Right On. This album is simple the SHIT. Check the video for How I Got Over below. I’m not sure what happened to Dear God 2.0 but as soon as I find it again, I’ll repost it.
