The Roots’ breakthrough into the mainstream, balancing their live-band jazz-rap aesthetic with sharper songwriting and political edge. Black Thought came into his own as a commanding MC, while ?uestlove and the band created grooves that felt both organic and precise. Standouts like “Clones” and “Concerto of the Desperado” put them in the same conversation as the hardest lyricists of the mid-90s while keeping their own lane.
