2882448, The Roots - Tomorrow feat. Raheem DeVaughn
Posted by 6thSense, Wed Apr-23-14 07:11 PM
Haven't seen anyone mention this.
Song is cool. No rapping though.
Is this from something else or for &TYSYC?

Anyone else heard it?

Peace,

2882487, Haven't heard it; link please?

2882822, love the ending...this is a step in the right direction

2882868, The ending is excellent.
Posted by trouble man, Fri Apr-25-14 05:51 PM
I have to see how this song plays into the theme of the album. I should've waited to listen because I'm a little bit thrown off right now and not in a good way either.
2883007, RE: yeah
Posted by rmcphedr, Sun Apr-27-14 06:16 AM
that ending is amazing. i wish they brought it in a bit earlier; reminds me of the end of 'make my' which kills the rest of the track
2882824, :-/ guess I'll be buying this on CD
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Fri Apr-25-14 02:27 PM
No way I'm paying $20+ for the vinyl. I just have to accept that I'm no longer their target audience. BT getting the same treatment he gets on The Tonight Show.
2882834, maybe just maybe we finally get that Black Thought solo album???
Posted by ChampD1012, Fri Apr-25-14 03:14 PM
2882831, Great... another piano song :/
Posted by SHANCIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD, Fri Apr-25-14 02:49 PM
Not bad but why aren't Captain Kirk and Tuba Gooding Jr. on any of these songs? I want to hear an album with the full band.
2882832, More like: The Roots - Tomorrow feat. Randy Newman
Posted by supablak, Fri Apr-25-14 03:01 PM

I just heard the full song.

I was waiting for the Grizzly Bear chorus to come in...

Watch these dudes be attached to the FIRST Pixar movie about Black people cause of schitt like this.

2882838, I like this..I can't believe its on a Roots album..but I like it
Posted by Menphyel7, Fri Apr-25-14 03:29 PM
I see this getting killed here tho
2882927, Basically...
Posted by Clarence Clarke, Sat Apr-26-14 07:44 AM
I can agree that there should have been some instrumental variation before
the awesome part at the end, but it's definitely a decent track.
2882898, very nice
Posted by mathmagic, Fri Apr-25-14 08:46 PM
2882904, I just need to hear the whole album n/m
Posted by MeshaMeesh, Fri Apr-25-14 10:10 PM
2882922, They missed it
Posted by urbgriot, Sat Apr-26-14 07:15 AM
No Thought
No Guitar
No Baseline
Why bring in the melody just at the end?
2882956, I feel like I'm missing something here...
Posted by phemom, Sat Apr-26-14 03:25 PM
Like if you heard "Redford" before anything else on Undun....you wouldn't understand it. As of now I don't get why a Raheem DeVaughn solo joint is on a Roots album.

...then again if it were a solo D'Angelo song would I feel the same way? hmm.
2882969, eh
Posted by quatto, Sat Apr-26-14 06:08 PM
love the ending... its definitely confusing why there's no black thought... kinda feel like this woulda made a better bruce hornsby song..
2882970, I LOVE this shit!!!
Posted by dundee, Sat Apr-26-14 06:09 PM
A Thought verse would of put this over the top for me. It's def missing Thought but other than that I love it.
2882971, I need to hear this within the context of the album
Posted by makaveli, Sat Apr-26-14 06:28 PM
I don't think it's bad or anything, but I'm not really feeling it.
2882976, i mean it's a good song
Posted by 6thSense, Sat Apr-26-14 08:12 PM
but I'm riding with everyone that wishes for Black Thought to be rapping on it.

i mean call me (us) crazy for wanting Black Thought to be on a Roots song... =)

peace,

Posted by Dariusx, Sun Apr-27-14 06:52 PM
So no Black Thought? As if it isn't bad enough most of The Roots band aren't on their records and obviously this policy will not change

Song is monotonous until the end
2882980, Wheres the rapping?
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Sat Apr-26-14 09:53 PM
2883035, great song, btw
Posted by forgivenphoenix, Sun Apr-27-14 12:15 PM
refreshing in fact.

This sounds like it could be the coda or final song on the album. a way to leave the story on an upbeat note.

Also, tell me if you agree with this theory: This story is based around the young man who killed Redford in undun.
2883052, dont understand why they would choose this song to leak now
Posted by HighVoltage, Sun Apr-27-14 04:55 PM
it might have its place in the context of the album, but I cant get past hyping up the new release by putting a song with no BT.
2883060, i agree.
Posted by kinetic94761180, Sun Apr-27-14 07:03 PM
*shrugs*

still dope-
2883069, I'm like really feelin this.
Posted by mathmagic, Sun Apr-27-14 08:32 PM
I just played it about 5 times consecutively. This is a really groovy tune with nice lyrics. I think most of yall are over analyzing plus I don't get all of the surprise at BT not being on it. The Roots have always thrown a curveball or 2
2883196, i get the feeling &tysyc is gonna be like 15 tracks deep.
Posted by selppataei, Mon Apr-28-14 08:39 PM
of the two tracks, this one has me super interested in the change of direction.
2883205, RE: i get the feeling &tysyc is gonna be like 15 tracks deep.
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Mon Apr-28-14 09:13 PM
12 tracks under 40mins
2883224, oops. ah, well...
