The Roots - Game Theory

When i first got this i enjoyed it. The second listen through it i was more impressed. The third time, i was very impressed, and so on.

It's just one of those records. The Roots pulled out a massive album for their first recording for Def Jam. The melodies are as immense as ever as you expect from The Roots and almost entirely based around their own instrumental creations, and the lyrics are more political than ever which is brave in this era.

I thoroughly recommend this to anyone with a taste for the finer side of "hip hop", or similiar.

Just thought i'd bring this back and say the album is still really good and i've had it for a while now

The Roots are really as far into HipHop as i go though! But they are broadening my music collection

I agree, great album. Don't let the fact that it's on Def Jam put you off.

It's OK. A few good tracks but nothing special IMO.
