More on The Tipping Point
Description from Wikipedia:
The Tipping Point (released July 13, 2004) is the sixth album from The Roots. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200, at #2 on the R&B chart and at #71 in the UK. It is arguably the most commercial of all Roots albums with radio-friendly tracks such as "Don't Say Nuthin'". At the same time, The Tipping Point stays true to The Roots style of going deep into a groove for longer than most hip-hop artists; this is evident on the album's hidden track "Din Da Da".
The album is named after the Malcolm Gladwell book of the same name, while the album photo is the mugshot of an 18-year-old Malcolm X before his conversion to Islam in prison. Some later releases of the albums, including the iTunes version, replace Malcolm X with a similarly-posed image of Black Thought as seen in on the "Stay Cool" single cover (see below).
Comedian Dave Chappelle is uncredited on the hidden track "In Love With The Mic."
