The new album by The Roots is fantastic and is full of deep grooves, tight
rhymes and nice melodies. The big, popular track ("You Got Me") on there has
a jungle outro and the liner notes suggest this was influenced by time spent
with 4Hero. Also Ursula Rucker gets an 11 minute track, which is too much in
my opinion. Things are coming full circle this week. Strange...
