Top Ten Albums of 2010
It took us a while to come up with this list, since 2010 was the year of quite a few great projects. However, after careful consideration this is what we came up with. Please note that there is no particular order, just the albums that we felt produced the best work. Feel free to chime in here and let us know if you agree or disagree with our picks.

Not bad at all. Black Thought’s voice sounds pretty good singing the Nat King Cole famous song, “The Christmas Song.” The Roots performed this song last night on Jimmy Fallon. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Music Video: The Roots – Now or Never
I absolutely love the latest video from The Roots for their track Now or Never, which can be found on their latest album How I Got Over. I appreciate how they used various individuals from different walks of life in order to showcase their lyrics visually, so that any and everyone can relate to the true message of the song.
