More on Game Theory
Description from Wikipedia:
Game Theory is the seventh studio album by Philadelphia-based hip hop group The Roots, their first on Def Jam Records, which like the group's previous label, Geffen Records, is part of the Universal Music Group. It was released on August 29, 2006 to a great deal of critical acclaim. The first single, "Don't Feel Right," was released online in May 2006 and is available as a free download on the group's MySpace page. The album features guest appearances from Peedi Peedi and returning Roots MCs Malik B. and Dice Raw. The album closes with a song titled "Can't Stop This", an eight minute tribute to the late J Dilla. Game Theory was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2007 Grammy Awards, but lost to Release Therapy by Ludacris.
