Episode 71: The Roots

This week we're discussing Black Thought and Questlove's The Roots. While they are known these days for being the house band for the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots have a long, diverse, and fascinating discography. This is a rare artist for us to cover because they are still active and releasing albums, but an important band nonetheless. Dig it. Closing track: "You Got Me" from Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2005) Check out our episode playlists on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherinc Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, early access to shows, and more! https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever Merch available now! https://teespring.com/stores/pandermonkey Instagram: Follow Mike @popejesseventura for show updates and @pandermonkey for original music Follow Alex @motherpuncher Mike's Picks: Game Theory (2006) — Best Album …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin (2014) — Personal Favorite Rising Down (2008) — Worst Album Illadelph Halflife (1996) — Least Favorite Alex's Picks: Things Fall Apart (1999) — Best Album Phrenology (2002) — Personal Favorite Organix (1993) — Worst Album, Least Favorite Albums we discussed this episode… Organix (1993) Do You Want More?!!!??!
