The Roots’ low-profile debut set out many of the themes they would employ over the course of their successful career. An intro, “The Roots Is Comin’,” is barely over a minute long, yet long enough to exemplify the band’s funky bassline (here played by Leonard Hubbard), their dreamy and emotional organ chords (thanks to Scott Storch), and their ferociously swift yet clear rhymes from the group’s focal MC Black Thought. The song that follows, “Pass the Popcorn” would have been called a “posse cut” in 1993. Everyone could’ve used a little more practice before stepping up to the mic on this song, but the spirit of the song are not lost in the amateurishness.
