you think? i wouldn't think a common appearance would really help out that much, that's not to say i don't like common, but this seems like an anticipated move.

i would think that having guests like nas or jay would do more to push units. maybe even mos def because of his growing hollywood stardom.

but guest spots aren't the solution in my opinion.

the reason the other artists they mention have gone platinum is because of singles. lauryn, kast, and kanye all have multiple #1 singles per album.

that's what the roots need more than anything to truely blow up.

granted this is all my humble opinion, but it's based primarily on things ?uesto posts all the time.
