Table of Contents by The Roots

The Roots hail from Philly in my home state of ole Pennsylvania. I am proud that such good musicians come from my home. They are professionally trained musicians, not just guys rapping over a Roland sampler. Check em live and you will agree.
this track is one of my favorites for its just plain grooviness. It's from the Things Fall Apart album, one of their best in my opinion. They do interesting collaborations with all kinds of artists (Beastie Boys and a classic cellist to name 2). This track is one of those you just keep repeating cuz the rhythm is good.
I just saw that they have a new album out. I hope it is better than their mediocre last effort, Phrenology.

Yeah, props to PA. I gotta write a post on a Texas band or artist, so I can give my state some love.
