The Roots - Do You Want More?!!!??! (1995)

I've really been appreciating this album and band lately, and thought I should post it. Although I don't listen to a huge amount of hip-hop/rap, this band is phenomenal. The Roots are an influential, Grammy winning hip-hop group based out of Philadelphia, famed for a heavily jazzy sound and live instrumentation, including jazz jams and elements. This is what I call good hip-hop. I really don't know what else to say about it, except that this awesome clash of hip-hop and jazz is really quite a fun album and really gets your feet tappin'. Also, it's great city music. Check it out.
