The Roots "How I Got Over" - The Countdown

There are so few artists who can drop an album, and I'll do what I do when I used to buy CDs - make the purchase without listening first.

I didn't need a dope video...


The Roots "How I Got Over" from Okayplayer on Vimeo.

Or even this nice little widget I just found over at Okayplayer that gives you previews of all the tracks...

 

As far as I'm concerned they could have dispensed with the entire marketing campaign, ?uestlove could just tweet an iTunes link out of the blue saying "we made a new album, buy it" - and I'd click happily, which I will, in 5 days time. Because they are The Roots.
