Same here. TFA is my favorite Roots album from start to finish. Had DYWM and the 4&1/2 mic Illadelph (Thought had Rhyme of the month and that album had appearances from Bohamadia and Common); but TFA......the artwork to the vibe to the rhymes were so cohesive. Reading the liner notes to see D'Angelo did some work on one of the tracks....J. Dilla.....I mean, shit that album was so perfect.

'99 to 2001 was dope for the Soulquarian collective.
