Hafeez Zainalabidin wonders how The Roots managed to evade his music radar for 5 long years.

Lol.
This post shall stand tribute to one of THE greatest hip-hop ensembles to ever exist on the face of this earth: The Roots.
Their hip-hop live band sound is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. It just really gives that urban, laid-back feel;
like when you're walking down the streets of the urban jungle,
the thumping bass motivating your every step,
your kicks sending ripples up your spine, into your ears, sending a rush through your mind,
when all of a sudden, the dull colours of the world just come alive again when the rhythms and melodies kick in.
It's a feeling unlike any other. Heh. I remember a time when I used to say that about something else. =S
Check out a few of their tracks that I added to my playlist: All Night Long feat. Common and Erykah Badu, Baby You Got Me feat. Erykah Badu, as well as Lazy Afternoon.
Keep making good music, guys. Long live hip-hop.
I'd be kidding myself if I said I didn't miss you. But hey, 48 hours; that's gotta be a record.
God, this is miserable.
