Ep.222 - The Roots

<p>In this chunky episode, we get into the work of The Roots where whilst we would make an effort to bomb through discographies for the sake of time, we simply couldn't for The Roots because they seemed to depart from their past album nearly every time. The subtle switches in their music over time would end up creating a wide reach. From "Jam Session" Hip-Hop to dense concept albums, it was certainly worth taking the time.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (1:08) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)</p><ul> <li><strong>Lil Uzi Vert - Pink Tape</strong></li> <li><strong><em>The Alchemist - Fly High</em></strong></li> <li><strong><em>Curren$y &amp; Harry Fraud - Vices</em></strong></li> <li><strong>LUCKI - s*x m*ney dr*gs</strong></li> <li><strong>Conway - Drumwork</strong></li> <li><strong>Stu Bangas x Chino XL - God's Carpenter</strong></li> <li><strong>D-Block Europe - DBE World</strong></li> <li><em>Itee - PAPERS</em></li> <li><em>Maeta - When I Hear Your Name</em></li> <li><em>Speech Debelle - Sunday Dinner On a Monday</em></li> <li><em>Elmiene - EL-MEAN</em></li> <li><em>Splurgeboys - Jet Pack Flows</em></li> <li><em>Meshell Ndegeocello - The Omnichord Real Book</em></li> <li><em>Terrace Martin - Fine Tune</em></li> </ul><p>Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (16:56)<br>Organix - (27:12)</p><p>Do You Want More?!!!??! - (35:17)</p><p>Illadelph Halflife - (44:37)</p><p>Things Fall Apart - (57:27)</p><p>Phrenology - (1:12:59)</p><p>The Tipping Point - (1:23:04)</p><p>Game Theory - (1:34:15)</p><p>Rising Down - (1:40:59)</p><p>How I Got Over - (1:46:37)</p><p>"Undun" &amp; "...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin" - (1:50:55)<br>Ranking The Roots - (2:05:31)<br>Lighter Note - (2:08:57)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
