?uest of The Roots deserves his fame. His music has been as smooth and outsized as his personality since day one, lending The Roots a consistency throughout two decades plus of musical excellence. Check out the perfect neo-soul on Illadelph Halflife’s “What They Do” where the drums hit hard enough to bolster the slow burn of the other instrumentation. And, on the other side of his career there is the soulful funk of “Long Time,” the only upbeat song on Game Theory, wherein Bunny Sigler plays himself and Peedi Peedi drops an excellent verse. All powered by a modern-day icon whose day job is Jimmy Fallon’s drummer. — Jonah Bromwich (via Passion of the Weiss)
