Because I have most of these. Really, what's the point of me spending $25+ on a few songs I don't have already? I mean, are any of the hits included remixes, 'cause I don't see the hype around this.

word is ?uest wrote a damn book
plus the interludes should be dope as well

by the way, my screenname's lame
http://www.last.fm/user/KennyFresh/

he KNOWS there are diehards on the boards who have Do This Well and other less common joints.

do you REALLY think he left us out for this compilation?

aside from the liner BOOKS (fuck notes) and CD quality versions of these tracks (most of the other rarities werent the best quality), dont put it past him to hide many more never heard gems on there (aside from the ones already listed on the tracklist).

i got a strong feeling that tracklist he gave us aint "complete".

I think ?uest put this together to appeal directly to fans who really know the material. It may say "A Beginners Guide..." but I think its deeper than that. Why would some sudden Roots listener want to get thier hands on rare tracks that they couldn't tell apart from Illadelph of Do You Want More?!?! tracks? Why would some Roots newbie care about pages of ?uest liner notes? That's something that Roots geeks like myself salivate over...lol. I'm psyched about this release for sure.

********************************************
"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito."

$30 bucks for linear notes seems a bit overpriced. I mean dammit, that's the price of a fucking HARDBACK BOOK. When I buy an album I want music. Simple as that. And the only thing new I see on this compilation is a few new songs and a bunch of interludes. Yeah... interludes. I'm a Roots fan, but dammit I'm not rich. There is a shitload of amazing albums coming out later this year (new Raekwon, Lauryn Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Ghostface, OutKast, etc. etc.) and I'd rather spend my money on them. I'll probably borrow the Roots compilations from a friend until I buy it a few months from now.

is that the group could have easily just let geffen put out some peice of shit greatest hits(think ghostface/pharcyde/fugees). it would have taken a lot less effort on their part. but that care/pride for anything that comes with the roots brand stamped on it is very clear in what quest did to shape this product...i respect that. i'll admit i was hoping that it would have some more rarities (crisp version of beatminerz proceed remix!) but i'll be copping. even if it were all just album cuts, i think it would be real nice to hear how quest would mix his own greatest hits. add in those remixes, the few rarities, and all those interludes, not to even mention the liner notes, and i'm pretty excited about this.

there comes a time in every mans life when he's gotta handle shit up on his own Can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze, please they got problems of their own---slim kid3

i might hurt my eyes reading the liner notes with those typical font size of a roots album hahaha.


>not to even mention the liner notes, and i'm pretty excited
>about this.

I am banging the joint now! WHAT! Bump 11/15/05 and it's not the bootleg. HOLLA!

is that the new version of the seed?

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

i dunno but the version from that 930 club show is great

speaking of the seed was there anything released before 2.0

2.0 is just their take on Cody Chesnutt's "the Seed" (essentially the 1.0)

~The Game Changer~

whats the difference between the original tracks and the versions on here? how many tracks arnt how they originally where?

You would be disappointed, I think what you will get once you purchase the joints are some of your great Roots jams as well as some that you wondered about in a different version as well a few surprises.

I'M A BEAST!!!

~The Game Changer~

Them muhf**fin liner books (20pgs EACH) are worth $10 a piece on their own....and then you get a bonus CD along with it???? C'mon bruh.
And for real, there would have been one of those wack "best ofs" with a 1pg booklet released (see Best Of Schooly D for a reference) if my man didnt put on his cape & dig in the crates.

And to think ?uesto the Magnificent took the time to list some okayplayer.com posters BY NAME in the thank yous.....Yo ?uesto, if you want me to DELETE any of these cats from the thank yous in future runs, hollatchaboy...hahahaha.

Even though I have the whole collection in my Ipod right now, I'm still buying it to support. Also a couple of those rare joints I haven't heard in a minute. I had the Proceed remicx with Roy Ayers on a cassette single I bought like 1 yrs ago, don't know what happened to it

The tracklistings are as is. No bonus tracks on the disks (no room). But there will be 2-4 bonus tracks available for download from iTunes. These tracks will be available for 1 weeks after the release date.

<------- The most important release of 2006, coming on July 23.
UPDATE: It's a boy!!!!!!

How long are the interludes?? Are they standard interludes or full-length tracks? Regardless, many thanks for finally releasing "Quicksand"!

Much appreciated...been waiting for that to be released for years.

the principle being that the roots come with tight shit.

im excited.

just for that Proceed joint with Roy Ayers, for a long time I used to just watch the video with you'll on the roof, bobbing my head to that classic.

Peace
