Yo- my people where you at'!?
Nice to be back in the blogasphere once again catchin the cyber-rays. This next joint I admit should have been spoken on a lot sooner than now but never the less, in any time frame, this song is definately relevant. "Proceed" by the legendary "Roots Crew" popped up at one of the hottest points in 90's hip-hop. If this was visual art, it would definately be in the museum. The basic "trio" of m.c., d.j. and side kick, with this group, elevated to a quintet. The jazz influence on hip hop is definately visable with this group which i feel used it to ground themselves or I guess become rooted? Now with albums like "The Game Thoery" and "Rising Down", the listener can definately experience their blossoming and sound evolution. I'm thankful for groups like the Roots who have found a way to survive in a fast paced, franchise style, music industry and still maintain a viable and genuine identity.
