Nas

Ozomatli

Neptunes

1.Zach De La Roacha
2.Red hot chili Peppers
3.Chuck D.
4.Dr.Dre
5.Ben Harper

...if only

Blackstar - You definitely can't go wrong with a Hi-Tek produced track featuring the lyrical scientists.

Ghostface - Imagine Ghost on the "Pussy Galore" track or "Break U Off"... nuff said.

Jay-Dee, Common, De La Soul, Tip - A 2004 Scenario track. Man that would be killa hot!!! Alternates could be Pharoahe Monch, Slum Village, and THE BAND!!! (lol, just kidding)

And FINALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!

Malik B.

oh sh!t, ghost on Pu$$y galore, Oh sh!t

Five Guest appearances eh?

1- Ghostface
2- Greg Dulli and/or The Twilight Singers
3- Neptunes
4- Fila Brazillia
5- RZA production from early-mid 90's

Just to throw a few out:
- Pharoahe Monch
- Blackstar
- Eddie Vedder / Pearl Jam
- Zack de la Rocha
- Outkast

Basically just a list of some of my favorite rappers/singers...

if i was producing...which is the first thing The Roots need...lol j/k ?uesto, i'd would call in

1. Outkast - especially after their album blows the fuck up again.

2. Jack White - Thought would've killed "7 Nation Army".

3. Timbaland - cuz Thought would kill one of his joints, plus The Roots sounded so good playing back those Timbo beats for Jay. ok ok, Missy can do the hook. (hey ya want luv right ?uest)

4. Nas - just becuz

5. Thicke - cuz the brotha can sing dammit...plus my boy works at his studio and knows him well...lol

was org. there before jaguar, but didn't he say something ignorant about hip-hop once? quest talking about the white stripes in the interview would make it seem like he'd be down.

i also imagined meg white on a song. then i laughed and almost gagged.

i never thought Meg White, she sucks, plus what would she do? her and ?uest would have a drum off to see who gets to lay drums on the track. HA, needless to say, we know who would win...........Meg of course.

New roots!! (echo) hot ish (echo) The grammy award winning roots crew bring you their next album....."THUG THIZZLE"...feat Pharell on the lead single, "frontin 2.o, also featuring the likes of Ghostface Killah/Janet jackson/ Skillz..hits stores oct 11 2004!!

i can see it now, janet has this kissing scene with thought in the vid, but first she makes him get tested for aids a la poetic justice.

peace, dgonsh

"You know jelly-wrestling?... OK, well, think about this: Afterwards, after the wrestling, what happens to the jelly? Because you could sell that. That is a missed opportunity. You could bottle it and sell it... You take the women out first, obviously...Do you realize what I've just invented? 'Porn Jelly!' The human race's two most favorite things meet at last in dessert form. There's a lot of lonely people out there, and what do lonely people enjoy? Puddings and porn! It's a girlfriend in a jar, except its jelly!" --Jeff, "Coupling" (on BBC America)

"What can I say, I just want to sit and be around you, undivide my attention and play in your hair..." --Martin Luther, "Breath Taker"

Ok, here's a few jefleejohnson-esque ideas :

I'd let them do an album with nothing but features ... (like the Brand New Heavies did, only updated & better) : have Rakim, Nas, KRS, Kool G Rap, Kane, J-Live, Pharoahe, Akhenaton & Shurik'N (French), Q-Tip, Gangstarr, MC Mello & Jonzi D (UK), Eminem, ... riming along with Thought and the band.

Either that or NOT ONE single feature outside the Roots camp

Musicwise I'd ask for input by Quincy Jones, Toots Thielemans, Marcus Miller, Renée Neufville, ...

Include a drummer battle on a song, for instance ?uest vs Poogie Bell (e.g. each doing one verse), or ?uest vs a dj (Q-Bert or A-Trak).

Include the occasional freestyle session/studio outtake as interludes and you have a hiphop album like we haven't seen in over a decade, where artists gather based on music, not on what the label or the management wants.

Don't know if it's possible though, the way hiphop is much more business than music now (compared to early 90's), and of course it would only confirm the Roots' status as perfect hiphop band (which we already know), and maybe shine more light on the featured artists than on the Roots themselves.

Another route would be to skip the big names (and their big fees), and work with a slew of talented but unknown people.

And spend less time in expensive studios, and build your own instead, or at least do the tracking at 'home' and only mix at Sigma or Electric Lady.

Just some ideas.

Toots Thielemans.. Good call..

Seriously, why haven't i thought of this.. Brilliant..

Yep.. I heard Quest say a while ago that he would pay big money to have that 'vintage' type of sound and that that's the beauty of those old records.. He uses expensive microphones and shit anyways.. He's a perfectionist.. And it still can be done.. Cody chesnutt did it.. In his bedroom.. Good call Krewc..

-Erykah Badu... AGAIN ("U got me" was great)
-Dwele

As an A&R, i think the album should have:

Dwele and\or Slum Village (Jay Dee and ?uest co-produce)
Malik B solo track (a "Water" reply maybe)

Outside of extended fam (Malik, Dice, Scratch, etc)...here's my top 5 choices....
1. Dj Premier (Imagine a primo arraged roots track!?!?!)
2. Little Brother

4.Cee Lo
5.Michael Jackson

>5.Michael Jackson

just outta curiousity, how do you envision this collab and track going down?

a real slow song, perhaps with Thought getting a verse or 2.

an "Africa"esque song.

long intro before Thought comes in.

i dunno man, thats just off the top of my head, this is fantasy tho.

1. Robert Randolph
2. Macy Gray
3. Nas
4. Lauryn Hill
5. Will.I.Am

but if i had to choose...

common of course. he was missed on phrenology.
george clinton. c'mon, that would be siiiiiiick.
jill scott. in anything, for the simple fact that her live is off the chain.
blackalicious. this is my dream connection.
and last but not least, to piss everyone and their mama off...

5. Lauryn Hill

thank y'all for coming, good night, God bless



>btw, the album will be called "ten: theogony beast", not
>"the tipping point." quest is only trying to fool with ya.

Joking:
1. Craig Mack
2. Aaron Carter
3. Tone Loc
4. Bobby McFarren
5. Oliver (that crazy little white kid in that star search clip that SKILLZ posted a while back)


Seriously:
1. De La Soul
2. Rakim
3. Malik B*
4. Organized Kunfuzion (both of them)
5. Black Star

random order

Sade
Eminem (or Tre Hardson)
Karen Briggs (yanni's violin player)
Herbie Hancock

and last but not least (along with what i want to hear them do)...

...DJ Quik: establish a few basic elements of the groove/beat for a song. then break it into back-&-forth segments where they alternate production on those basic rhythm/melody guidelines. example: verse1=quest, chorus1=quik, verse2=quik, chorus2=quest, thirdpart=both beats playing over each other, or both producers making the third part as a team.

Quest and Quik are 2 of my fav producers, but their sounds are different enough where it would really create a cool juxtaposition to hear track where the production and interpretation alternates back and forth between parts.

damn, i can't spell. i just realized this.

"brining"

i mean that was intentional. there are just too many "g"s related to hiphop.

yeah, that was on purpose, not because i'm an illiterate one-handed monkey puncher.

don't believe me?

brin it on.

oh and UP.
