Guest Blog - Fledgling Fashionista Examines 'Late Night With The Roots'

Late Night with The Roots

Review by Athena Dixon-DeMary

I entered my listen of Late Night with The Roots with a bias. A long time ago I deemed Do You Want More?! to be their best work. Consequently, I compare everything else stamped with their name to it.  However, in recent years my ears have had to adjust to increasingly dark albums and collaborations. On this album I expected some new jazz infused hip-hop, a Black Thought verse here and there and perhaps a drum solo or two.  I thought that I would hear small soundbites meant to be sandwiched between commercial breaks and witty banter, but what I got was nothing I expected.  Despite my yearning for a Roots album, and my bias notwithstanding, I did appreciate the highs and find fault with the lows on Late Night with The Roots, but unfortunately most of the LP is fair to middlin'.

“How I Got Over” opens the album on a lukewarm note. I feel like I've heard this all before. It's a sped up, old soul sound that after a frenetic opening settles into a decent enough groove. What's missing is the grit, the urgency of the album version. Somehow the energy captured in the studio is more alive than an up close and personal rendition.

My God . . . Consequence Fires Shots At Pusha T?

Pusha T of the Clipse recently released My God, which is supposed to be the first track off of his upcoming mixtape. I must say that I love the song and from what I have seen online, just about everyone else does as well.

According to Complex.com, Consequence isn't a fan.

I don't normally post this kind of stuff, but I actually am fans of both parties involved.  Plus, it was also a way of adding a little more meat to a post that would've basically just been a pic and a link.


Thanks for stopping by,
