Have you told anybody else?
This is vital information that needs to be heard.

Look, anyone of any race, or tax bracket can experience sadness and life's ills. But 2 albums (or more) of this perpetual depression from the Roots in just under 8 years?
Granted, you like this album. I don't.
But making their artistic choices a macro issue (i.e. the Black community) seems a bit disingenuous.
Even IF Questlove currently interacts with folks in Philly's hoods (who have been recently shot), he's only preaching to the choir.
This album will reach the ears of artsy bohos and "hipsters" (at best).
Most "juvenile delinquents" in the hood won't fuck with this.
