Hip-Hop Group Seeks the Tipping Point

References to The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference just keep popping up. Now the legendary Roots Crew are trying to reach the tipping point:

Another Roots Album, Another Book Title
The Roots have started recording their next LP, tentatively titled “The Tripping Point.” Once again does the title refer to a book, this time by author Malcolm Gladwell. Amir ‘Questlove’ Thompson said that the group chose the title because it fits their ambition of taking their careers to the next level. The group also has a new guitarist, Kirk Douglas.

I’d love to see them blow up, but I hope this doesn’t mean that they’re gonna water-down their music & do some radio-friendly ish! (via Verbal Mutilation, via Urban Smarts)

Side note: Apparently Apache doesn’t like URLs with the word ‘root’ in them. I’ve tried to post this so many times with ‘The Roots’ in the title, but the individual archive page would never load. I tried several things to fix it but nothing worked until I took the word ‘root’ out of the title. Very strange.
