YMMV / The Roots

• Awesome Music: Tons of their songs. But special mention goes to “You Got Me”, “Dynamite!”, “Ital (The Universal Side)”, “The Seed 2.0”, “Sacrifice”, “Can’t Stop This”, “Rising Up” and “Dear God 2.0.”
• Broken Base: & Then You Shoot Your Cousin is pretty divisive, for its short run time and large number of guests. Also, The Tipping Point for its more commercial leanings.
• Nightmare Fuel: The spoken word passages by Ursula Rucker are often highly disturbing tales of rape and sexual assault. In fact, "Return To Innocence Lost" (off the otherwise cheery/upbeat Things Fall Apart) may be the most disturbing bit of spoken-word poetry every put to tape. Also overlaps with Tear Jerker.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: “Sacrifice” is a very soothing and dreamy song about the need to sometimes sacrifice the things you currently have to get what you really want out of life.
