?uestlove talked to MTV at a recent Jay-Z charity function about The Roots’ new LP Undun, and although the November date mentioned here is not correct (officially slated for December 6th, mark your calendars) Questo went on to speak a little about the nature of the LP, saying:
It is our first concept album. You know, mostly our albums are thematic, but this is our first album, which…it’s an actual narrative, like. So sort of like a movie without visuals, kind of like a storybook record.
He also elaborated on the links between late night TV and artistic freedom. Watch above and most importantly check for the first leak from the LP, which we will be posting here on Okayplayer on Wednesday night LATE in the evening!
Can’t wait. Roots albums are always an event.
YES. I’m ready for this ish..
So! So! Happy!……Counting down!
“Sorry we’re unable to offer this video to users in your region”
Are you serious?
There is really no true freedom. Even the internet is censored left and right..
CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!
I am a big fan of narrative albums. Especially Mr. Lif’s ‘I Phantom.’
Greatest. Hip Hop. Album. Ever.
