Why?

I mean, I get supporting your favorite artists, etc. I get the general point.

But I've seen a lot of comments suggesting that you don't like this album, and haven't enjoyed the recent albums, so why support this rut that the Roots are in?

Most of you who are saying this strike me as huge fans who have supported Roots albums and most likely shows (like myself) so your support isn't (or shouldn't be) in question.

Why do you feel like you owe it to them to buy a bad album that you probably won't play?

Maybe it needs to be a relative flop for them to rethink things.

As Roots fan I'm mostly disappointed in how marginalized Black Thought has become.

That's ridiculous. For that reason alone I'm probably done buying their stuff. 15 & Dice Raw aint the Roots...
