Do You Want More?!!!??!
1995
DGC
The Roots’ first album with national distribution, Do You Want More?!!!??! was most fans‘ introduction to this Philly crew. Rap artists had performed with live bands since hip-hop’s earliest days but The Roots became the premier group to do so by in pairing a gifted MC, Black Thought, with equally talented musicians, lead by drummer ?uestlove. Singles like “Proceed” and “Distortion to Static” drew from the best traditions of jazz-influenced hip-hop, with extra emphasis on the “jazz” component.
