• The Ledgendary Roots Crew Strike Again!
  I've been reading stuff about The Roots for years but never actually heard their music till I saw their VH1 Soulstage concert. All I can say is WOW! This band is fantastic! I bought this CD after watching the concert and then actually saw them live in Worcester, Mass. a few weeks ago. What a show! Rising Down is a great CD. Great beats, great music, great lyrics. Keep up the great work.

• "Dope Although It Doesn't Slam Like Previous LP's" (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
  It seemed like for me, this album just showed up one day. To be honest, I really didn't know this album was coming out during the summer (maybe with a little word of mouth), but it seemed like there was no kind of promotion prior to this album coming out. After it was released, I've started seeing promotion for it, including a few live performances from The Roots on TV (The band, along with Chrisette Michele performed on one show not too long ago).
  Anyway, the Roots' second album on Def Jam is a pretty... more info

• ok
  it was ok.the beats are pretty good and so are the lyrics but its tight.

• Great Album
  Awesome album by the Roots... expect nothing less. This album gets a 4/5 star because there are too many songs that are not songs like The Pow Wow and @15. Lots would disagree with me but its just a personal opinion.
  I dig the socially/politically conscious hip hop the Roots is into. Some thought provoking rhymes and they sound dope!
