The Roots- Illadelph Halflife

Where to start with this one?
For those unfortunately inexperienced with The Roots discography, this will be an eye-opener. Sure, the boys from Illadelph have always been known for experimenting in a multitude of different genres. Illadelph Halflife was the one and only album where The Roots captured a vibrant image of Philadelphia hip hop.
The production is superb on this album, not enough can be said about the vast range of emotions each instrumental conveys. But the unsung hero (if there is one), would have to be Black Thought. He delivered on an unprecedented lyrical scale, with eye-opening, skull-shattering verbal dexterity.
There are many reasons why you need this album, a holy recommendation from me should only be one. Cuts and links below:
