Query: The Death of Hip-Hop

The essence of Hip-Hop music is no longer. Real Hip-Hop music is officially extinct! The official declaration of this tragedy is evident in the release of this dreadful album. The Roots have betrayed real Hip-Hop fans with this CD. The Roots was our last hope, but we've been hood-winked. I was so upset when I listened to this album, that I went to bed crying profusely. The next morning I set the CD in a pot of boiling water so that it would whelp, never to be played again. The appeal of Roots was in their live instruments, but on their latest CD- Phrenology, there are just the typical synthetic tracks created by keyboards, synthesizers, and other high-tech .... Despite my former allegiance to Roots, I cannot recommend this CD.
