Epic Battle
While my head nodded rhythmically to the Roots album-titled track How I Got Over, I couldn’t help but think about how the Philadelphia based crew has persevered not only as artists, but as artists producing worthwhile quality music. From Phrenology to Illadelph Halflife to Tipping Point to Rising Down, the Roots were already in the same conversation as A Tribe Called Quest as greatest hip hop band ever. Because of their perseverance, anybody want to comment on whether or not they’ve surpassed them?
The Roots vs A Tribe Called Quest
Call it.
