For whatever reason, the Brain DJ is running a delighted laugh from ?uestlove, and the source is –

The Roots, "The Stars" (2010)

Track -14, and now you know who I'm talking about –

The Roots, "Double Trouble" (feat. Mos Def), originally track 62 on "Things Fall Apart" (1999), but a bit longer on Home Grown Vol. 1 (2005)

From the other side, this is the game of love –

The Roots with Jill Scott (1), "You Got Me" (1999)

(1) Jill Scott wrote the song, but Erykah Badu and Eve did the studio version, track 68. Jill Scott joined The Roots onstage in Zurich, and we got track 99, in which she got a little excited …

(PS: The Roots number all tracks consecutively across all releases.)

Here's the Brain DJ with something from 2006, then –

Two changes for the price of one: J Dilla (James Yancey) creating loose beats, and The Roots making hip hop, sample-sounding music with instruments and voice only –

You really never expect to hear The Roots thrash one out. It's so weird that a few asked for the name of the band on the track.

24 seconds of surprise …

The Roots, 89. "!!!!!!!" (2002)

The brain DJ decided to replay one of the tracks from the album I was listening to Friday last week, before Mrs A got her COVID diagnosis (she's suffering, but she should be fine):

The Roots, feat. Malik B., P.O.R.N., Mercedes Martinez, Dice Raw, 136. "I Can't Help It" (2008)

"Ladies and gentlemen, The Roots … The Roots!"

This album is 20 years old today and it’s aging like fine wine. I already left instructions to play this on my final trip. #Music makes everything better. #TheRoots #Phrenology
