Remember that band The Roots



Remember the Roots? ... yeah they slipped me too. Their last CD came out almost 2 years ago now and even though they've been a band longer than I've been alive (seriously 1987 ... wtf) I had forgotten how good they were. Even though their new CD "Rising Down" doesn't have an estimated release date yet, they have a new track floating around the net. "75 Bars" is exactly that, 75 bars of ?uestlove thuggin it on drums and Black Thought putting down a two and a half minute verse, no chorus (he don't need it), and proves he can still flow with the best of em. I wouldn't expect the song to be a hit, or even a single, but its a shining example of how The Roots can still get it done, even if they are 20+ years in the game.
