Yeah, they've been around for a minute.


Adrenaline still has to be one of my all time favorite songs.

2/24/2010 10:00:16 PM

2/24/2010 10:11:38 PM

The book is better...but of course the book is always better

I like at least 2, maybe 3 other Roots albums better than Things Fall Apart. But I love all Roots stuff...so it's no biggie.

Okonkwo is my hero.

2/24/2010 10:20:01 PM

terrible terrible terrible book

my second most hated book behind "The Good Earth" (They're actually almost the same thing.)

2/24/2010 10:31:26 PM

haha I had to read those both in high school.

2/24/2010 10:32:21 PM

The Yam Book!!!

Chima Nwankwo is an awesome professor. It wasn't until I took an African Lit class with Chima that I understood that damned book.

2/24/2010 11:09:19 PM

Book was awful.



Album was stellar.

2/25/2010 12:22:33 AM

It broke

Irony

I agree with you on the stupid yam book, but Wuthering Heights is surely worse than The Good Earth.

one of the few positive things my sis did when we were in high school was make me listen to the roots and black eyed peas


kinda sad to see theyre both in the white man's pocket now

2/25/2010 1:10:33 AM

YEA DUDE THE BEP'S USED TO BE SO GOOD LOL

2/25/2010 1:15:41 AM

SPOILERS!

Black guy gets pissed at white people, cuts up white people. Son joins white people, black guy hangs him self.

RIP OKONKWO

Do you want more is hands down my favorite...like i can listen to that album cover to cover no matter what mood i am in, TFA i am always in a certain mood for certain songs and not others

Agreed. Do You Want More is one of my favorite albums overall...not just the Roots. The other two I like as much or equal to TFA are The Tipping Point and Illadelph Halflife. I wish the Roots would do another Do You Want More type album with more instrumentals and a more jazzy feel.

2/25/2010 3:49:32 PM

god i love that album

2/25/2010 3:54:17 PM

YAMS!

YAAAAAAAAMS!

IKEMEFUNA GET ME SOME DAMN YAMS!

I, too, agree that Things Fall Apart is a crappy, vastly overrated book

but Wuthering Heights is one of my three favorite novels of all time

I even have an Emily Brontë hoodie...no lie

I don't think I've ever met anyone who disliked it, let alone hated it

2/25/2010 9:40:45 PM

i hated wuthering heights initially

but i think i was 12 the first time i read it

now i love it

2/25/2010 9:42:43 PM

I could understand that...you've kinda got to read a lot of novels before you can appreciate Wuthering Heights

not a page-turner, but my God, it's brilliant

2/25/2010 9:48:34 PM

this place is being held, very nicely

4/8/2010 9:08:17 PM

but I loved me some Heathcliffe and Linton

4/8/2010 10:23:23 PM

while I didn't really enjoy Things Fall Apart, I did appreciate the book's inverse historical format

also, I pretty much love the name "Thrushcross Grange"
