The Roots ft. Peedi Peedi – Long Time
(Album: Game Theory)

I remember hearing this for the first time (around the first week of June) and going “Who the hell is the guy rhyming after Black Thought?” I meant that in a good way. You’d be gassed to think that I don’t know what Peedi sounds like by now. The thing is, much of what I’ve heard from dude is average, so, I never really understood what the hype was all about. Apparently, Peedi realized that he had to bring his A-game to reduce the possibility of being left in the dust by you know who.

From the unnerving organ arrangement to the ethereal bassline, this one’s a perfect soul stirrer. 9.5/10

    Great song, I’ve been waiting inpatiently for this album for some time now! Blackthought is one of the most talented men to ever pick up a mic, way to underrated. I love The Roots sound, so refreshing, and this Peedi Peedi kid did his thing on this track. I’m very impressed by this song, but what’s new, it is The Roots. They always come with heat.

    This really jams and i agree with darkpoet, the roots are by far the most underrated group in history.

    The Roots’ genius will not be appreciated until 10-20 years from now. Their music will still be relevant and they would be well outta the game by then.
