The Roots f/ Dice Raw, Jazzy Jeff & Peedi Crakk- “Get Busy”
from Rising Down (Def Jam, 2008)

Black thought is still sort of bo****, I hear he’s hard at work on his specialist rhyming dictionary of poetically licensed -al suffixes. Peedi is still a little dusted and/or disgusted (in a good way, I think). Jazzy Jeff is still the best DJ alive. And Dice Raw still has the best lisp since G Rap. But that beat. That damn beat. The direction Quest n’ em are taking this record is really interesting, bringing those Rick Rubin hard synth as sort of a kick in the groin to lilly fairy trance rap. Synths are not just for arpeggiated rave girl bliss. You can start fights to them too. Ask Paul & Juice.
