Dope

[Eddie G.]

I picked this up today, I had no idea they were coming out with a new album.  I thought it was just a bootleg, but I guess its a real CD.

[ecrazy]

I Wonder If This Album Will Have A Bunch Of Hidden Tracks And Stuff Like Thier Last Album...That Would be Dope

[Throwback]

man i've just listened to it, it's one hot album. somebody gotta do it is so tight. just like guns are drawn. ahh fuck it the whole album is tight IMO

[Timmeeeehh]

Yeah The Roots are back (again) and how! Man, this album is really cool, especially the album version of Don't Say Nuthin' has a cool start (first 5 seconds, I can't help it. but the sound is so cool ).. It's a bit more hip-hop than the other albums imo, more real hard beats and raps..

[tim]

i can't wait to hear this record! ._.

[Throwback]

lol they did they just diss the dutch audience on "somebody gotta do it" some girl says: "y'all cold, like a show in the netherlands" or did they made an comment on the fucked up weather over here/?

If it was cold weather metaphor, they could easily have picked a colder country than Holland..

[teecee]

Pretty solid album, i like it better than Phrenology for sure........its missing something though, no standout tracks really

[tim]

Pretty solid album [...] its missing something though, no standout tracks really

[N-Sane Brain]

It's a solid release without any fillers, but nothing spectacular. Does somebody have a feature-list? I heard Devin The Dude and Jean Grae, and I think Pharrell Williams did the hook in "Stay Cool", but what about the others? Big Daddy Kane?

Fav' Tracks:
Star
Don't Say Nuthin' (the only real banger)
Boom (although it got a fucked up beat)
Somebody's Gotta Do It
The Mic
Stay Cool

[Lil Jay]

yea this is not bad, but no standout tracks.....I'm still waiting for a "what we do" type of track, that is still my fav. Roots track ever

[N-Sane Brain]

I got some confusing things for all my Roots fans. mIRC got a new version of this album (The_Roots-The_Tipping_Point-RETAIL-2004-ESC - 79mb). It only got ten tracks instead of eleven, but two hidden tracks at the end of the tenth track (the missing track "The Mic" is one if it). Furthermore it got another trackorder. And the cover is different to what we saw earlier, where Black Thought was on the cover. It's the cover that I had in my signature of days now. I don't know who this guys is supposed to be.

            Well, what to say. The other rip wasn't really what
            it should have been.
           
            Summary:
            --------

            #1 The retail has 10 tracks and not 11.

            #2 Correct trackorder.

            #3 Track 10 is 16:40 mins long and not 04:20,
               because it has 2 secret songs.
           
            Covers included for sheeps and in VBR of course!

            Enjoy!

And the second hidden track is just an instrumental, where somebody says "dum da da" all the time
