The Roots - How I Got Over
It's a well known fact I am a Roots Stan - I don't think I've missed a show they have done in Cleveland for the past 5 or 6 years (on a side note if ?uestlove is ever Djing in your make sure to check him out), but that aside - this is the best Roots album I have heard in awhile. Why? There are no tracks to skip over - just an excellent flow of music from one track to the next. This and Revolutions Per Minute (Talib and Hi-Tek) are easily my favorite albums of the year so far. I could name a couple of tracks to pay attention to but I think this is a work better taken in its entirety.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Reflection Eternal: Revolutions per Minute
I took a little long on this post, but this is a great album. Talib and Hi-Tek have excellent chemistry, with Tek's beats providing an excellent soundscape for Talib's flow. This is one of the albums that can be listened to in its entirety (a rarity these days) because the songs just seem to flow together so well. My faves: City Playgrounds, Strangers (Paranoid), In the Red, and Just Begun with two of my favorite newer MC's Jay Electronica and J.Cole. It's definitely worth picking up.

Outliers Review
Finished reading Outliers: The Story Of Success
by Malcolm Gladwell, an excellent book about success that defies the normal notions that success is all about just hard work, sometimes its a matter of circumstance and the opportunities one has, and your ability to take advantage of those opportunities. Many times these circumstances are beyond our control and have come through generational learning. Overall an excellent read - I highly suggest it.
