Talk about perfect timing… I was just heading out the door to finish the shading on the sleeve when I get this nice little jawn in the inbox. The track I was most hyped for off The Roots’ upcoming album, How I Got Over, which drops this Tuesday! Featuring Blu, a rapping Phonte, and the soulful sounds of Patty Crash.

damn this is an ill combo, but damn phonte low key sounds like black thought voice wise on this track.
Blu is 2dope
that is black thought not phonte…why does this say phonte?
Perfect song.
too smooth
Phonte is on here..he has the Southern drawl like always. Smh
Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope
@Dexter because phonte is on this song.
This is real nice, appreciate it Shake.
Yo, best song this year. Site been acting a lil wonky lately tho, don’t know if it’s just me? *shrugs* *plays this for the 5th time*

The roots – 2010-CR

“Yo, best song this year. Site been acting a lil wonky lately tho, don’t know if it’s just me?”
what’s it doing?
DAMN! I needed this like Homer needs a donut…song was SO cold. Flawless.
@ J. S. i also had problems accessing the site lately, try 2dopeboyz.com as url, without the okayplayer in it, should work
Shake, it was the same thing for me.. I tried getting on here from work and home and I couldn’t load the site all yesterday
Does anybody know what Blu says after “Cause I could sit on my ass imagine the madness…” ?
damn black thought and phonte sound crazy similar
album leaked
this is just dope!!! blu snapped man, hes one of the best doing it. ppl need to quit sleepin on him. Black does his thang as usual! and Phonte come with his dope flow!!!
four stars! how i got over is finna be dope
@Kratos, he says “or get on my path and start painting my canvas”
The roots – How I Got Over-2010-CR
@ TC Beats
Thanks a lot man ! I don’t even know how you heard that, haha.
this song line up is pretty dope but keeping it honest….its not very good. either all of you are just gassed on the hype behind the idea of a blu, phonte and black thought collabo or you have awful taste.
@wtf i agree the song is cool but its not amazing. i kinda feel that way about the whole album. Black Thought needs a solo album cuz i feel that The Roots are holdin him back a lil
YESSS this joint go hard
yea Phonte kinda sounds like Black Thought…but can easily tell the difference
This song is fuckin’ dope, each of ‘em hold their own.. Although being a huge Blu fan I find his verse best.
BTW here goes my latest track, glad to see i got positive feedback on the last track i posted the other day and some of yall was askin if i had more so here it is…lemme kno if u feelin it..or just ignore it lol

@ boomerang slang and @ wtf
kill yourselfs.
for starters.. blu is an amazing artist. and an incredible lyricist.
and THE ROOTS are one of the greatest bands off all time. in studio and on stage. there amazing.
smfh, at both of you guys.
I couldn’t wait till Tuesday I had to download it but i will definitely be supporting this album. This is now my favorite Roots album.
This album is just more laid back then the last two thats all. I listened to that album sampler like 3 times. Theres not many joints that go too hard like the last 2 and its more uplifting while the other two were just going at peoples throats.
I just hope that this is not their Common “Be” album after he made Electric Circus which I still think gets hated on for no reason. Although if it is their “Be” Album hopefully it will make them as commercially viable as it did for Common. Huge Supporter of these here folks!
My bad peoplez I only let the song go to 2nd verse.
Phonte >>
Phonte & Blu are my two favorite MCs, & Black Thought always comes through nice. I’m buying this album.
FIRE
@ yes man
Blu is one of my fav rappers and i have all his albums and mixtapes. I like everybody on the song and i think its a solid song. im jus not jumpin out of my seat for this joint
WOW.
who’s singing on the hook? sounds like Tiombe Lockhart. that would be dope
DOPE!

The album is inspirational it’s better than any hip-hop album I have heard lately transitions are smooth really no songs I would skip. Classic roots album imo.
Its amazing… cmon blu
Interesting how Phonte sounds similar to Black Thought. This is one of the tracks of the year!
@Shake-If anyone has the website addy bookmarked with okayplayer included, it will no longer open. Just a heads up. Keep up the good work. Love the site.
BTW- How I Got Over is amazing! Def in the top 3 Roots album. Buy it tues!
such a dope album. really enjoying it right now.
damn…so good.
blu > *
this made me realize how much i’ve slept on blu. he’s understated but the flows speak for themselves.
ah damn, this joint did leak, ya’ll be goin to hell for bootleggin this one (those of ya’ll that did). It’s one 10 bones show some love
This is what I’m talking about. REAL mothafucking hip hop!
great album, hate to post this in this section but it deserves it…
lupe fiasco ft. bruno mars – nothin on you

Before I rise and shine like a neon sign, I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein.
Anyone who downloads this album instead of buying it is the reason people say Hip Hop is Dead. It’s not dead but the real mother fuckin spitters get no love.
yaddy yaddy yah, whatever, this is dope music right here i dont really give a eff guys, its THE ROOTS AND BLU stop complaining and shizz its doppeeee freakin music, appreciate it please??????
Phonte > Blu
listened to the leaks so far..gonna save this ..just incase it comes out slightly different when the album is released..ahhhhh yeaa this is a album i gotta buy
Im so happy for this trak. I love Blu on anything and although this is not his strongest verse ever its very good imagrey and witty word play. Black is always tight… Philly stand up!!
And I wish Blu and Peedie would team up on like a funky ass trak and just be they old crzy witty selves…Johnson and Jonson/ old school state prop style!
I gotta go out and get the album now
That bitch voice annoying lmao.
Shake@the site still says your posting too fast, even if its my first post of the day..been like that for a while. 1.
(2)Doooooopppppppeeeeee!!!!!

Blu >>> anyone.
“feelin dead from the face up”
