Do You Want More? (2LP)

The Roots, pioneers of a new style in the '90s, created their own unique blueprint for their major-label debut Do You Want More?!!!??!. This album is a reflection of old-school hip-hop with loose grooves and laid-back improvisation, setting it apart from other hip-hop artists who rely on samples. Impressive skills of human beatbox, masterful keyboard playing, and talented jazz musicians like Joshua Roseman, Steve Coleman, and Cassandra Wilson contribute to standout tracks such as "Mellow My Man" and "Datskat," leaving a lasting impression beyond the album's lightweight grooves.
