This share reps tapes lost along the way. This particular gem escaped from Greensboro to Chapel Hill in a red Toyota Celica, never to be seen again. May it return, one day in all its Roots glory! ✌️ ❤️ 🎵

“Death Certificate”
“Live & Let Die”
“What? Thee Album”
“Blue Funk”
“Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers”
“Dare Iz A Darkside”
“Tical”
“Muddy Waters”
“Hell On Earth”
“Operation: Doomsday”
“The Cold Vein”
Hell’s Winter”
“Doris”
“Liquid Swords”
“Cypress Hill”
“Kill At Will”
“Death Certificate”
“Live & Let Die”
“What? Thee Album”
“Blue Funk”
“Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers”
“Dare Iz A Darkside”
“Tical”
“Muddy Waters”
“Hell On Earth”

‘Hell On Earth’ comes to mind for winter albums. ‘Liquid Swords’ too.

The Roots’ ‘Illadelph Halflife' Turns 30 | Album Anniversary
Arguably one of the strongest albums to surface in 1996, The Legendary Roots Crew’s third studio affair is a focused project that’s unified in tone and heavy in musical versatility.

The Roots “Illadelph Halflife” is an album that has a little more of the streets and a lot more grit than the Philadelphia band’s first two projects.

Happy 35th anniversary to Low End Theory. Happy 30th anniversary to Illadelph Halflife. I was two days away from turning 13 and 18, respectively, when these dropped.
So much dropped in my early/late teens but I'm not sure any other albums would shape my taste more than these two right here.

The Roots dropped two promo tapes - one for Illadelph and one for Things Fall - mixed by legendary Philly DJs. Illadelph got Cosmic Kev and Things Fall got Jazzy Jeff. These tapes were golden at the time because they dropped way early. The WNYU performance on here is a GEM.
