BLACK THOUGHT IS THE TRUTH!! The Roots - Don't Say Nuthin' (REACTION)

[@rrodrir78]

Their 3rd album, Illadelph Halflife is a must for a reaction.

[@gochasingwaterfalls9970]

Definitely their best album

[@ms.undastood2586]

Absolutely!!

[@ankhlife7194]

Definitely illadelph first

[@ankhlife7194]

Definitely illadelph first

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

I support this message ☝🏾

[@cmag864]

scott storch on the beat...he also produced " You got me"

[@djiqs]

"...put the system on lock like Camp Hill..." Camp Hill is a nice little place near Harrisburg, PA. Home of one of the most known state penitentiaries in PA. #717

[@eternallife]

Came here to leave the same comment. 💪🏼

[@mbialousz]

Was gonna comment the same thing after I noticed he picked up on that lyric.

[@jjp_nyc]

This was their “radio song” for the time. Back then you had to have radio friendly type song for airplay. Especially after the won the Grammy for Things Fall Apart just 3 years prior

[@FryPoorGreedo]

Illadelph Halflife is one of the best rap albums of all time

[@borisdodgingbullets]

Absolutely…and, somehow it’s slept on!

[@joey_dangerously]

The beat is based off the theme song for a show called Knight Rider

[@cbfwebs]

Busta Rhymes has a better Knight Rider beat on his song "Fire it Up"

[@joey_dangerously]

This song has been my ringtone song for like the past 15 years

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

RIP Malik B...Do Proceed, The Next Movement, Concerto Of The Desperado, Distortion To Static and Clones by the Roots. They have so many hits, those few came to mind. I could list a bunch. Start with the Organix album and go from there. Start from the all the way through it's starts with track #1 to all the numbers of each track on each album after.

[@damiankirkwood7924]

Black thought in my top 5, maybe even number 1

[@gochasingwaterfalls9970]

For real

[@powk3444]

"aint nothin like the rush i get in front of the band on stage with the planet in the palm of my hand"

[@MIKEMOSSGONNAFLOSS]

This record is stupid dope.... 🎙️

[@cbfwebs]

Loved this song since it came out. Black Thought is an incredible MC.

[@dapluva1]

Black Thought 🐐

[@stevenmonte7397]

facts!

[@spittabeatz]

Such a fire track..glad you did this one

[@jasongerman1729]

Hey Youngblood speaking of the Roots you should definitely do a reaction to either or both their ILLADELPH HALF-LIFE or THINGS FALL APART albums trust me you’ll thank me later

[@andrisplatypus6617]

One of my fav Roots songs. Thought is a GOAT.

[@Kim-hc5si]

They’re just so, so good. Every one of them 🔥👏👏👏

[@robertmatthews9650]

I’d just start in chronological album order starting with “Organix” or “Do you want more?!”. You’ll be happy you did.

[@vegeta4788]

Check out "rapid eye movement" by black thought and pharaoh monch. Two of the best lyricist and MCs the game has ever seen. Both left the earth lyrically on that song.

[@uwmalcolm491]

I agree. Gotta review this track!

[@dylanplumley280]

I found this song from a short video with yoda breakdancing with clone troopers. I am not disappointed.

[@jskee2002]

Start with "Illadelph Halflife". This was before Things Fall Apart. Although The Roots are a band this album doesn't have a lot of live instruments, more of a sample based Hip Hop album, real street

[@mohammedhajdaoud2470]

This whole album is 🔥

[@kwasi7323]

Don’t say nothing!! Another diss at the rap music at the time!! He made a song and said nothing!! That’s why the hook sounds the way it does! Saying nothing

[@JosephLaverty-h4t]

Dude thx I'm differently putting this on my playlist you rock dude 😎

[@antlove8723]

PEACE KING. PEACE TO THE FAMILY. YOU SHOULD DO "SILENT TREATMENT" BY THE ROOTS. CLASSIC. ITS A VIDEO FOR IT TOO💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@erick.roberts9074]

I think I remember Just Blaze saying this album was mid back in the day and I agree. My favorite Roots albums are Illadelph Halflife, Things Fall Apart, Game Theory, and How I Got Over.

[@kennethsmith3914]

Peace King. I would normally say start at the beginning but "Things Fall Apart" is my shit.

[@Georgious]

Did Black thought invent mumble rap too? 😂 that chorus

[@matthewbryant4926]

They got a joint on that same album called WEB,black thought went crazy on it

[@purposepassionandlovetv863]

When this song dropped, they had a contest to see who could figure out what was being said in the chorus. I never figured it out nor heard if anyone won.

[@KjartanBjrkvold]

You'll probably love their song The Seed

[@gino88]

Start with the album “things fall apart” for all the features, Erykah Badu, Beanie Sigel, Mos Def etc.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Start from the beginning Organix all the way through it's starts with track #1 to all the numbers of each track on each album after.

[@saeedabdallatif9625]

This is their best album. You need to do this whole album king Ahmad

[@TizOnly1]

If you're gonna do a Roots album, you gotta do Things Fall Apart. You'll love it

[@ДаниелКаменаров-т4ю]

Blood sweat and tears LEAKING OUT OF THE PEN

[@THEAC83]

I used to fucking blast this track in my car back in 2004!

[@jontiruell1934]

'The Web' and '75 bars' are two of Black Thoughts best

[@flintskins]

Saw it commented already that Scott Storch made the beat, but even one step further, Storch got his start as a member of The Roots, playing the keys on the Organix and Do You Want More albums before breaking off to start producing

[@tomking7080]

My favorite Roots track

[@dubdeuce1517]

Title track of their album Do You Want More is crazy. My favorite album by them actually. Smooth than a mf.

[@MrMooemoney]

Guns are drawn - The Roots

[@SMOOVKILL1]

Another favorire roots album thats up there. This is more than jus hip hop. Real project King. Black thought, nuff said.

[@Maurice1191]

It's Scott Storch. He was in The Roots before he signed wit Dr Dre.

[@dreww1609]

"Illadelph Halflife" is the ONE - but then again so is "Do You Want More" and "Things Fall Apart" is considered their classic. Maybe just start with the song "Respond/React" and trust me you will be HOOKED. Love your channel man. The Roots are the real deal, golden age hip hop Titans.

[@calebriley6774]

The video to this song is crazy

[@borisdodgingbullets]

Illadelph Halflife…and, check Aquamarine from Black Thought and Danger Mouse. Incredible!

[@deucedaprodeuca]

Mickey Factz has a school of rap called Pendulum Ink. Chilla Jones, a popular battle rapper, teaches there. They also have a text book they wrote and developed together.

[@mrworkowt5419]

Hey bro we met at the gas station off of Hubbell and 6 Mile about a month ago. You was on your hustle. You got to hit me I need that jacket where can I order it at?

[@warrsadit9649]

“On lock like Camp Hill” a Prison near Philly … illadelphia halflife album the TRUTH!!! #PhillyStandUp💪🏽

[@eklipsta]

100% Dundee is a dope roots track. Its Rhazel beatboxing on the beat. That whole album is fire though

[@neilforbes819]

100% Dundee hard as fuck! Got to ask here since can't find info anywhere else - what's it about? Because I'm guessing the Roots never played Dundee, Scotland

[@rogerhayes1805]

Gotta mention??? Vs....I was shocked when I found out dude was doing the Scratching and mixing using just his beat box skills...Scratch I think is name is...

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

Illadelph or Things Fall Apart have to get a review!

[@coreysmith4817]

Their first album so hard

[@chadjohns6955]

Things Fall Apart is their best in my opinion, I really love Illadelph Half Life and Do You Want More as 2a & 2b, then Nephrology is probably 4th

[@louisdon357]

You got to do the Phrenology album this my favorite Roots album

[@jayc5756]

I was Literally Just playing this song last week and the week before. Watching this video. I haven't heard this song in a long time prior to that. FR. But 🔥 song though.

[@neilforbes819]

Just gonna echo: Illadelph, & Things Fall Apart are both musts for full-album reviews. Peace brother

You need to watch the video to ":Lovin' It" by Little Brother feat. Joe Scudda. Also, check out "Aquamarine" by Black Thought & Dangermouse.

[@You-sw7tm]

He already did Little Brother -Lovin' It: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baa5o52DrqyonM0feature=shared

[@bryantallen703]

Yeah, gotta check "do you want more" and "illadelph half life" albums. Those are a must. They special 4sure. All music 🎶 is made by live instruments by the ROOTs themselves. Dyce Rawe and Malik B used to rap with Tariq aka "Black Thought". You'll hear'em on those albums.

[@quantechesson3811]

Episodes by the roots😮

[@joeyblack38]

Multi symbol flow, check krs-one, treach from naughty by nature, big daddy Kane. First ones to do it, em and rest got it from them

[@bryansimpson9858]

Sup bro! You REALLY need to react to the Roots Picnic 2020 intro by Black Thought. He MURDERS multiple beats. Your mind WILL be blown…for real. ✊🏾

[@cibida1]

Forgot bout this joint

I recommend Guns are Drawn from this album, its an amazing song

Old classic but slept on.

[@marvinsbprealty5760]

[@Ues2DC]

Can’t go wrong w most Roots albums but I’d suggest Illadelph Half-life, Things Fall Apart Do You Want More

[@chaos5840]

phrenology too

[@mylesteller]

The Tipping Point was a fantastic album!

[@BSKILLZ3000]

The track 'web' from this album is just ridiculous. It's like hearing the funk flex freestyle on wax. Best roots/black thought track ever imo.

[@cardijefferson1427]

And people slept on Malik B.. In the Roots as well especially on Do you want more and Ilhiladelphia halflife

#FUNFACT the hook from this song wasn't supposed to be like this, the hook is the reference tack blackthought created. He was gonna go back and fill in the words later but the label herd it and suggested he leave it like that.

Review "Things Fall Apart". Heavy rotation for me.

Check out Illadelph Halflife from the Roots. Almost every song is a hit.

You can't go wrong with any album. This and Phrenology are my favorites. His rhyme pattern is inescapable and uniquely his own

Oh and the sample is from Knight Rider theme btw
