More on Illadelph Halflife
Description from Wikipedia:
Illadelph Halflife, released in 1996, is the third full length album from The Roots. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. The album received various other awards. In 2006 the album was selected as one of Hip-Hop Connection's 100 Best Rap Albums from 1995 to 2005, and is held as one of the best albums by The Roots by many fans.
The album itself is the closest The Roots would get to straight up, simple East Coast hip-hop. Whereas on their first two albums The Roots had a loose, jam session feel to their music, they seemed much more focused on Illadelph Halflife, working hard to give the listener stronger hooks to focus on, one of the main criticisms of the first two albums.
The album's hit single "What They Do" featured the group running through many rap video clichés. The video was directed by Charles Stone III.
In 2008 "What They Do" was ranked number 64 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
