the industry was wrapped up and poisoned when the legends biggie and pac were snuffed out. That took another 5 - 10 years to filter down into all the music, until what we're left with today
Studio V6 pun carried the tradition Jay as well.its all about support.thats how all that southern -crunk- and all that other bullshit poisoned our ears.while we sat around debating who runs N.Y. the rest of the world was supporting their "local artists"
"Crazy frustration about my lovin situation, when patience was a virtue but I wasn't used to waitin" The Roots is one of the best things that ever happened to hip-hop. They never changed and continue to hold down Philly. I just love the East Coast style, videos and how we used to rock our clothes back in the day. I still rock it like that now
Quite possibly one of the greatest hip-hop tracks ever about the subject of love. Ladies: Communicate. Communication is the key to happiness in love and life.
Definition of a Classic: 1. You immediately are taken straight back to the vibe you was feeling the first time you heard a joint. 2. It has relevance now just as much as it did when it first dropped. 3. New listeners are put back by it e.g. "Whoa! Who is that?"
So damn good. I like the old Roots, the new Roots and the in-between Roots but I think you could make a very strong argument that they produced the best music of the hip-hop genre during the first part of their catalog. From about 1993-1999 this group showcased a level of creativity, intelligence and musical craftsmanship that I can't recall seeing anywhere else in rap history. Legendary.
When you give people or musician's they flowers while they are here you are letting them know how much you love them how much they've influenced you how much they've inspired you etc. And the list goes on. The riots crew is definitely in that category of giving them flowers while they are still here, but I did here we lost one of ours from the roots may god rest his soul. The roots crew will definitely go down in the history books of the 20th and 21st century
Reminds me of chilling with my girlfriend back in 1995 when I was 17. Now she's wifey and we've got lots of kids. This song makes me think of her whenever I hear it.
"‘Silent Treatment’ was one of my favorite songs. I put damn near so many niggas up on that joint. Niggas that was sleeping on them niggas." - Notorious BIG
Blessed Highness, long time I have not, play any roots songs! love them Vibzs still. DaughterOfAhayaSeekingHisHonor got to get back inn to some of them jam tunes..i did paly some from your page. good post : )
Discovered the Roots by going to The Warehouse (old music chain) back in high school. The cassette single was 99 cents and played the tape out. I forget what else I bought but I used to dig through all new joints. Been a Roots fan ever since.
I want to cry when I hear this because this is the time when I got constant chills when I played a new album and was in love with hip hop. I could count on hearing something that took me to another planet.
Amazing, The Roots, just keep delivering and delivering. From Things Fall Apart to Seed 2.0 to this, this resonates especially as our daughter is called Amina, and she is the sun, the moon and the universe. All hail queen Amina.
Memories I remember first hearing this on yo mtv raps with fab 5 Freddie , good old day memories put this song on blast this is a real rap tune .♥️♥️♥️
ayo the roots deserve more attencion from the listeners...hip hop is beautyfull u don't have to try to understand it ...it just makes part of you life ....
That makes two of us.I remember i was 15years old running home at 9pm on fridays to watch new york undercover and recall this track as one of the theme songs.BLACK THOUGHT FAN FOREVER!
Top 3 hip hop groups: -A Tribe Called Quest -The Pharcyde -The Roots. The industry's changed these days, people are more interested in hearing autotune and a catchy chorus with poor lyrics. Its good to know that the Roots are still going strong and making good music. Thumbs up if you agree
Man, I just love the roots' way of making me light a blunt on they music every time my ear hears them... Roots need to gather every single mainstream artist and bless them with they knowledge.
My s%$t!.... I gave my ex the silent treatment for atleast 6 months. He never gave up, so I gave him another try at us communicating, not the relationship tho. We haven't reached that point yet. Probably never will, but I appreciate his consistency...
oh shnap!!! I never knew there was a video for this. This is album is one of my favs. I remember first hearing it my sophomore year in H.S. (95)... This cassette stayed in my walkman for months.
the roots style of music, is exactly what their band title reflects.....they use elements from the root of every style go music! Im 60 years old....and I absolutely love them!
![The Roots - Silent Treatment [3-9-95]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/as-jfftqo9I/mqdefault.jpg)
This is a forever joint. Even played 1,000 years from now, you'll have the same chills as the first time listening.
I was blessed to be a teenager in the 90$! Some of the best hip hop ever released to this day came out the 90s!
U ain’t never lied❤
@louisephillips9047 🤗💓
We were very blessed to have lived through it.
Man id give anything to go back to these days ‼️😔
Fo real fo realllllll!!!!!!
2023 and I'm still revisited this classic jam!
20 years older and WAY better than most NEW stuff today!
Crazy the shit people call hip hop these days. The youth are eating the shit up though, so the industry is pretty fucked now.

A Cros amazing song
WAY BETTER THAN WHAT IS OUT THERE TODAY

Werd up
Word life son, mad Flava kid, shit is mad phat yo
Black Thought doesn't get the proper respect he deserves.
I still remember QuestLove and Erykah Badu and I think Dice Raw walking down South Street backpacking and getting into real ciphers on the corner
@@phillyvoodoo lol my man said "dice raw". I ain't heard that name in a couple decades... Lol say word
Nothing will ever compare to this type hip hop ❤
It’s sleepy and …….
true!!!!
That bassline is sick!
This drummer is nothing but the truth!!
Lol that would be Quest Love and yes he’s the best!! 🙌🏽
Quite possibly one of the greatest hip-hop tracks ever about the subject of love. Ladies: Communicate. Communication is the key to happiness in love and life.

There were sooooooo many different lanes in hip hop growing up.
Top 3 hip hop groups:
-A Tribe Called Quest
-The Pharcyde
-The Roots.
The industry's changed these days, people are more interested in hearing autotune and a catchy chorus with poor lyrics. Its good to know that the Roots are still going strong and making good music. Thumbs up if you agree
The first time i heard this song i instantly fell in love with it. especially the chorus. they had me singing the chorus in souls.
The version on The Roots Come Alive is so good. Thinking back to finding these albums in 8th grade...
Favorite song on that album hands down.... I got blazed to this thoroughly.
Man, I just love the roots' way of making me light a blunt on they music every time my ear hears them... Roots need to gather every single mainstream artist and bless them with they knowledge.
My name is Jamina, I’m 5’7, caramel complexion..... This song manifested me ❤️
Could be about you, for me 👀
timeless classic ☝️🔥💣🎙🔝🎤🎸🎻
this is what puts me to sleep at night, as well as a another classic: Recluse Crew - Perfect Imbalance! God bless old school hip hop.
RIP Malik ❤️
My s%$t!.... I gave my ex the silent treatment for atleast 6 months. He never gave up, so I gave him another try at us communicating, not the relationship tho. We haven't reached that point yet. Probably never will, but I appreciate his consistency...
Heard this in the barbershop and was rocking to it ever since.. and only 15.. good music
Faaar the best hip hop group of all time....RIP Malik B....
Love this song, and its jazzy hip hop beat. Takes me back to the mid 90s
oh shnap!!! I never knew there was a video for this. This is album is one of my favs. I remember first hearing it my sophomore year in H.S. (95)... This cassette stayed in my walkman for months.
Silent treatment is one of my favorite songs.
