Soundbites: The Roots ft. Peedi Peedi – Long Time

The Roots ft. Peedi Peedi – Long Time
(Album: Game Theory)

I remember hearing this for the first time (around the first week of June) and going “Who the hell is the guy rhyming after Black Thought?” I meant that in a good way. You’d be gassed to think that I don’t know what Peedi sounds like by now. The thing is, much of what I’ve heard from dude is average, so, I never really understood what the hype was all about. Apparently, Peedi realized that he had to bring his A-game to reduce the possibility of being left in the dust by you know who.

From the unnerving organ arrangement to the ethereal bassline, this one’s a perfect soul stirrer. 9.5/10

Great song, I’ve been waiting inpatiently for this album for some time now! Blackthought is one of the most talented men to ever pick up a mic, way to underrated.

The Roots’ genius will not be appreciated until 10-20 years from now. Their music will still be relevant and they would be well outta the game by then.

10. The Roots - “Get Busy” ft. Dice Raw, Peedi Crakk, & DJ Jazzy Jeff | The Rap Up Says:

[...] best part about this Philly celebration is that it doesn’t remind me of “Long Time.” It takes a certain amount of creativity to recreate a feeling without relying on the same [...]
