"Things Fall Apart" is, roughly speaking, as good as late 1990s hip-hop albums get. The compositions, lyrics, syllable rhythms, and verbal interplay is the fullest and most thorough realization of The Roots' artistic ambitions. The opening passage of the album contains a sample of some academic critic complaining that rap is not maximized as either product or art; here The Roots manage to achieve a brilliant marriage of both concepts. I cannot implore you, the listener, enough. If you want a rap album of superior quality, buy this.
