Posted by QBoogie, Wed Dec-17-08 09:59 PM
... just no Black Thought on auto-tune !!! And if there is I'll blame L.A. Reid...

twitter quote doesn't really scream "official annoucement" as much as:

- first single being released
- okp homepage headline
- official tracklisting
- etc..

i look forward to the release. my 22nd birthday is in june.

yikes. low blow. i'm just sayin'
181490, make it a LIVE ALBUM
Posted by Dhernsol, Wed Dec-17-08 10:52 PM
PLEASE!!!!!
181492, they did that already tho.

Posted by Dhernsol, Thu Dec-18-08 06:52 AM
why not release another?

Rising Down is still fresh.
on the other hand, it's been almost 10 years since Roots Come Alive was released...

since the band won't be touring for a while, a live album (or dvd) could definitely hold fans over.


i'd be happy either way tho

they did.

only true roots fans know this.

Posted by D. Allie, Thu Dec-18-08 06:20 PM
what's the other one they released. i must know unless you're talking about Jay Z unplugged.
181571, the roots presents doesnt really count though....
Posted by HighVoltage, Fri Dec-19-08 05:26 PM
it barely featured them, the focus of that show was the roots backing the guests. it was still dope though.


but i do feel another live album is in order. the band changed their sound completely from TRCA days.
181578, i think he's talking about nagoya
Posted by justin_scott, Fri Dec-19-08 10:14 PM
but even that, while dope, wasn't anything near TRCA. i want TRCA 2
181520, yup....TWICE.

The tour dates have only been announced through May 9th. As of right now the opening acts for the tour are The Roots, the Avett Brothers, and Jason Mraz.

I'm not sure how many dates the Legendary are planing to play. All I know is I will be at one of them.
181549, if they dont come to LA, i dont care. lol.
