Hope you enjoyed Dad reacting one of The Roots's most classic tracks, "You Got Me" featuring Erykah Badu, Eve, and Jill Scott. Despite the fact that the song may seem like a straightforward detailing of a long distance relationship, the scope of it is in fact large as it makes Black Thought question what he values more in life: hip hop or relationships with others.

Funny thing about Bobby Caldwell, his first album covers, and many of them in general, never had a picture of him; and i heard it was because many folks thought he was black and people were loving his music so he didn't want to "come out" as white and possibly lose a bunch of fans/support/sales so he didn't lie or anything, but just didn't blatantly put his face or race on the album.

The drumming at the end of the song is a similar pattern to what would more typically be found in the UK genre of drum and bass. Not only did moving to London help The Roots' fanbase grow, but also the diversity of their sound. OutKast used a similar drum pattern on 'Bombs Over Baghdad' a few years later.

Scott Storch joined the band in 1995 and although he had left the group by 1999 he produced this track and played the keys. This is their 4th album, their first with MCA, after Do You Want More? and Illadelph Halflife on Geffen Records, both of which saw moderate success. Malik B has a solo song on the album, he was with the band from 1992 to 2001. He recently passed away, may he rest in peace.

LOL Still gotta work on your homework, tho; the whole band--The Roots, are on Jimmy Fallon. Originally named, Organix; changing their name to: The Square Roots. Finally settling and shortening to the now known The Roots. Their 1st album is "Do You Want More" (1995); 2 albums prior to "Things Fall Apart". Never had lived in Europe, but had a profitable touring gig--beginning as Organix, through to their official first The Roots album. Anyway, overall a great reaction!

Love both of you guys, I'm 39 and educate my son (14) every day about lyrics from real rap. Respect to you kid. I'm from the Bronx and truly admire how you respect the art. Play nas "one mic" for your dad.

I truly enjoy this chanel with you and your father. Such great reactions on great hits. Look into Scarface, "when a man dies". Great song. The song was released in 1994. It talks about the struggles on mental health in the black community. Scarface is iconic. Great storyteller. Great music 🥰

This one of my all time favorite songs! It changes my mood no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing I can't help but stop and just fall in the vibe of the song...

Erykah Badu is amazing. Her song Orange Moon he might love, if you wanna show him on his own time since it might be too relaxed for a reaction

"You got me" is a great record but I'd highly recommend a song from the album before this one. I was a HUGE Roots fan in the mid 90s & I remember owning THIS album but also the "illadelph halflife" album as well. Check out a song titled "What They Do" by The Roots. I think illadelph halflife is the better album but that's just my opinion. But yes, check out "What They Do" by The Roots. It's a phenomenal record!
