Free Music Review: I Do Want More!!??!!?!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this the day it came out, like it states on the page, January 17, 1995. I was 16. I played this everywhere. School, parties, chillin' in the car. This was the tipping point for any rap that year. 1995, don't get me wrong, was THE year for hip-hop; East/West rivalry, every artist battling out to who is the best, when being the best, was what it was all about.
This is the second album of THE ROOTS, the first being ORGANIX. Which was also a dope album. But for any album produced that year, that is the one people can say," Hey remember Do You Want More!!??!!?!" Everyone will remember.
Proceed, was on everyones stereos, or t.v. and it is the one song, that if I were stranded on a desert Island, I would have with me, because I could not be able to stop listening to it.
As the tracks go...they are all great, but my DOPE TRACKS are...
1. Intro/There's Something Goin' On
2. Proceed DOPE TRACK
3. Distortion To Static DOPE TRACK
4. Mellow My Man DOPE TRACK
5. I Remain Calm
6. Datskat DOPE TRACK
7. Lazy Afternoon DOPE TRACK
8. ? Vs. Rahzel
9. Do You Want More?!!!??! DOPE TRACK
10. What Goes On Pt. 7
11. Essaywhuman?!!!??!
12. Swept Away
13. You Ain't Fly DOPE TRACK
14. Silent Treatment
15. The Lesson Pt. 1
16. The Unlocking
I see it as this is their best, then Illadelph Halflife, then Things Fall Apart, then Organix, then the rest just kinda loop together.
Anyway Peace.
Do You Want More?!!!??! Poster
Typically, we're better off ignoring the boasts of a rapper who claims to describe his own music, but when the Roots' lead voice Black Thought opens up his group's debut album by saying, "You are all about to witness some organic hip-hop jazz," it's a good idea to listen up. Organic is a fitting adjective for a hip-hop crew whose m.o. is as different from the typical studio-locked DJ/MC combo as grass is to Astroturf.Nothing wrong with a little artificial grazeland, of course, but the Roots are making tasty roughage that blooms into real songs, where raps wind around bass, drums, keys, and horns, and where instruments coil up to voice cadences--where music and lyrics meet and grow together naturally, not coincidentally. You can hear the Roots' heart pump hardest when they pull off the things loops and samples cannot: just check the vocal/instrument interchanges of "Essaywhuman?!!!??!" or the left-turn instrumental digression midway through "Mellow My Man" to witness the living sounds of rap.
The Roots' Philadelphia-based groove collective build slick acid jazz playing around the smooth East Coast rhyming of A Tribe Called Quest and wild West Coast freestyling to create sounds as formless and fluid as jazz, but never unrecognizable as hip-hop. The music picks up where the mad scatting and melodic trills of L.A.'s defunct Freestyle Fellowship left off, and wakes up the tired hype of jazz/rap cross-polination to new possibilities. The roots of this kind of fusion have long been around, though perhaps these Roots are hope for a new dawning. --Roni Sarig
