The Roots - Undun

Post by Funkmasterr »

This came out today, and after listening to it all the way through several times, I can safely say its fucking great.

It's a theme album, following the life of a fictional character up to his death. It's short, only about 40 minutes, but there isn't a dull moment in the album.

If you're a roots fan, a fan of hip hop, or even just a fan of good music that tells a good story and touches on many important pieces of life, you owe it to yourself to BUY this album.

There is also a cool iPhone app that goes along with the cd, it was free for a period of time, not sure if it still is.

Also, most of the members of The Roots are vegetarians.

Hey, you keep your tomfoolery in your own thread or I'll have to put you on time out.

That's a steal for the album.

Picked it up, great album. Hard to categorize it, flows very well.
