The Roots - Birthday Girl......aka WTF?

[mickill]

I understand that this song isn't entirely new and that it won't actually be on their new album...but I was just thinking, remember when The Roots used to make quality songs like Clones, Adrenaline and Proceed? Yeah, well, they stopped doing that.

yeah that was the worst thing i've heard in a good while.

featuring Patrick Stump...........no thanks.

At the very least I gave it a chance, and I didn't hate it like a lot of people do, but it makes The Seed look like fucking Cop Killer. But the fact a Fall Out Boy was on a record with the Legendary makes me cringe like you wouldn't believe. Goddammit.

At least 75 Bars and Get Busy sort of make up for it. I'm undecided on Rising Down with Mos Def and Styles, and the song with Wale isn't too bad. I'm still hopeful since they were smart enough to leave Birthday Girl off the album.

and what's up with having Sasha Grey in the video :confused:

[roosta]

Yes, at least they had the insight to drop it.

Im looking forward to this record, I liked "Game Theory" alot.

[Ally Al]

sell more records or get dropped from your label ? what do you do ??

people have got to eat

and from what i believe this isn't indictive of the rest of the album

[mickill]

That's no excuse.

[Ally Al]

That's no excuse.

how so ?

Thats the record business these days unfortunately and you know it. especially if you're with a major. If you're not moving units.....next.

Plus we're only talking about one song it's not like they're dropping a pop album, so i don't see peoples problem with it really

[mickill]

There's no problem with rap albums comprised largely of pop driven songs (Kanye's made a respectable career for himself doing so). This one just happens to really suck. It sounds like a companion to LFO's Summer Girls.

i'm not a huge fan of the song by any means, but i understand the reasoning behind it. I still have high hopes for the album

[SugarInTheRaw]

I hope everyone is satisfied.
