I chose Illadelph Halflife. I love the standouts on it the most. I get the feeling that most people here will choose Things Fall Apart, and that's cool because that's my 2nd fav, but Illadelph had more mic rippin by Black Thought IMO.

DYWM is my 3rd fav Roots joint, but it's all good because just like Illadelph and TFA, it's a classic!

My personal favorite is Things Fall Apart. However, Do You Want More is their best all around CD in my opinion. However if you choose Illadelph Halflife, I can't be mad at you. There are alot of nice joints on there.

Thanks for making more of these KJ. The old school section was slowing down to a crawl!

As for the question, gotta go with Things Fall Apart by a hair.

I know I'm definately in the minority but I chose Game Theory with Do You Want More being a close second. Thing Fall Apart would be my 3rd.

Illadelph due to its consistency. Things Fall Apart has higher highs, and Rising Down has a great sense of atmosphere, but Illadelph for me.

Yeah I should have put Organix on the list. It's a dope album but nowhere near their best. Not to mention that it wasn't readily available until around the time TFA came out.

Yeah, The Roots got robbed on the marketing side with this album thats for sure. I just picked up Organix like two weeks ago, and the CD hasn't left the ride..lol.. At this moment I'll probably rate Organix pretty high with the rest of the Roots projects, but it could just be that I'm really feeling it right now..lol
