    I just meant this means no more albums… or at least not as often. That’s why I said it was my own fault for not buying all of them. I took the roots for granted.

    I’m happy they are making money.

    ***The Roots always get my support- they’re one of the few acts that do- them, Wu, and a couple of solo artists, here and there… I feel like they’ve given me a decade and a half worth of soundtrack for my life, I can at least cough up $10 to K.I.M…

    difference is, if Phelps was black he wouldnt be just a 23 yr old, he would automatically be judged alongside a gang of other wealthy athletes and entertainers of the same race who do reckless shit on the regular

    Innovative move for them, should be interesting to see where it takes them. Can’t be mad though. They’ve been on the road for years. Can’t blame them for wanting to chill for a while. As it was said earlier they can still make albums, they just can’t tour as much…and if you’re a fan and haven’t seen them half a dozen times live then it’s your bad for not catching them when you had the chance.
