That was Rising Down, right? I'm actually going to be listening to all my Roots albums that I have on my iPod. but i know I'm missing a few. I know I'm missing Illadelphalife and Organix. These are the ones I have

Things Fall Apart
Game Theory
The Tipping Point
Phrenology
Rising Down
Both of those Home Grown albums

I also know there's a live album they have, but I'm really not into live recordings.

Yeah it's Rising Down. If you're big on the Roots, make sure check out their 5 versions of "Proceed" as well. They are kinda rare but Roots fans should look out for them. I see you have Do You Want More and Home Grown Vol. 1 so you should have the first two already, but the others were released on 12".

#1: Proceed (off Do You Want More?!!!??!)
#2: Proceed II (feat. Roy Ayers) (it's on your Homegrown album too)
#3: Proceed III (feat. Bahamadia)
#4: Proceed IV (AJ Shine's w/o A Pause Remix)
#5: Proceed V (Beatminerz Remix)

Beatminerz Remix of Proceed is super sick. Pt. 2 and Pt. 5 are my fave versions.

Yeah, I heard about that today. I hope it's better than the Blueprint 2 to be honest. I felt there was too much junk on that album. He should have just got his best tracks and kept it at one disc.

God I hate rap, I thought you might show something decent, but I guess rap was never good. Well there are some rap songs that are catchy, but catchy doesn't mean good.

There's still some good hip-hop, but you have to actually look for it. It's not so much my type of music, but I don't bash it because I know there's talent out there in the more underground bands.
