Know however, it is one of my top 5 Roots songs and the first Roots song I wanted to play along to once i picked up the bass. I disagree with Max though, to me "Silent Treatment" is FAR from flat and ranks up there with "The 'Notic" I don't have a copy of the other Roots albums (ones I Molete Mathabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840791373353108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-40862163142731186972008-11-22T04:29:00.000-06:002008-11-22T04:29:00.000-06:00"Illadelph Halflife is on Illmatic level X..."I ag..."Illadelph Halflife is on Illmatic level X..."<BR/><BR/>I agree with you right there.

Black Thought's spastic rapping and scatting combined with the crew's spastic jazz playing makes this one very grating after about five tracks.
