When The Roots dropped Undun, it was to mixed reviews. Me? I never listen to em, I approach each Roots project on it’s own merits. I listen and let it absorb without judging it by Illadelph Halflife standards. I mean, that album changed my whole outlook on what a Hip Hop album could sounds like. I believe in the Roots as a group and accept their visions for each project they release. Undun is no different, for me each song stands out. The guests all add their own sound to the album. K.R.I.T., Dice Raw, Truck North, they all drop jewels, but I think my 1A favorite verse on the album comes from Greg Porn on “The Otherside”

I’m sitting on top of the world, ready to jump off

Thinking of various ways to break a gun law

Thinking that enough is enough

But still I want more

Thinking how I’m paying with fire that burnt my young boy

Any means necessary, dont give a damn

So every night, I’m on a flight that never lands

Be an asshole when the shit hits the fan

Or bet your life on a bluff and a bare hand

Can’t win, Can’t lose

Dead em gas, leave em leaking fuel

Either way the market moves

Cash rules, Kings, Queens, Prince and Princess

Every night I’m crossing lines that ain’t the finish

Every thought as dark as a glass of fucking Guinness

Too far gone to come back to my senses

Now I’m on the edge of my bed

making love to my meds

Every moment’s like a pistols to my head

when I’m getting mine
