Last night I listened to three roots albums in a row.... Thing Fall Apart, Illadelph Halflife, and DoYou Want More?!!!??! And I gotta say Do You Want More was my favorite so far. Some of the lines Black Thought spits are amazing. "I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon. Break lyrical hymn of the stem like boom, I'm flyer when I'm higher put my shit up on a tomb" that line is sooo sick. And I like Do You Want More because I get a nice chill feeling when listening to it. I love Proceed and Mellow My Man. And also Distortion to Static is a tight track. Definitely a go to album when I'm just chilling out.
Illadelph Halflife.... I hated the first track "Respond React". It was so repetitive and annoying but then "Section gave me that nice Roots feel. Overall the album is ok. Maybe I didn't get a good listen out of it. I feel like the sampling on that album is poorly executed. I'll have to listen to it again to really be able to judge it. But "What They Do" is one of my favorite songs ever.
Things Fall Apart..... I didn't fully finish this one. (Fell Asleep) Looking at the track listing alone makes it seeme like a unique album. I really can't judge it right now, but once I'm finished with it I'll let you know.
Overall my favorite track off of Do You Want More is "Proceed"
