How I Got Over

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. 

The Roots “Dear God 2.0″ Video

UPDATE: This video appears to be removed from the net so here is a viral video someone made and a live performance.

One last video for everyone today.  The Roots just released a new video for their song, Dear God 2.0, which is really dope.  I’ve got a chance to listen to the new album, How I Got Over a couple times and it’s definitely solid.  I like their last album, Rising Down a little better but any new Roots music is a breath of fresh air.  Their single, How I Got Over is still my favorite track on the album though.  Check out the video for Dear God 2.0 and shout out to the homie, Add-2 for getting a chance to perform live with The Roots in NYC.  Dream come true.
