The Roots
The Roots Come Alive (1999)
Genre: Hip Hop
Ok today I bring you guys
something different from what I've been reviewing lately ,which was some pretty
heavy and aggressive stuff, so I need to chili out from the heaviness for a
couple of days and searching through my music collection, I stumbled on this Hip Hop
master peace from the Roots, The Roots Come Alive, it has been a long time
since I've sat down to listen to a Hip Hop or Rap album, except for the Beastie
Boys last album, lately it feels like Pro tools productions have killed Hip Hop and
Rap during the 2000's, too much mediocre material out there computers make things to easy killing the creativity and I basically stopped listing to it altogether thanks to this, so I recommend new school Rappers and Hip Hoppers to sit
down and listen to this beautifully album, very well played, the band is top
notch with a strong jazz background, giving the songs an incredible organic and relaxed feeling and the grooves are just fantastic. The rapping in general is good the lead MC
is pretty charismatic keeping things interesting during the 14 live tracks. For
a live album it sounds great and it's pretty enjoyable, with lots of treats, for any casual listener enjoy or for anyone that really loves
good music general, this album transcends its genre.
Overall:60.22
