Fra Philadelphia og New York, USA, med 120/t kommer de racebevidste rødder og årets foreløbige hip hop-højdepunkt - selv om det garanteret kommer som en overraskelse for den MTV-dikterede mainstream. Og Erykah Badu rapper på track 15 ("hittet" You got me).

"Things Fall Apart was a turning point for the Roots, the record where they figured out what kind of band they could be. Both its themes and its eclectic mix of sounds resonate in the current moment ... Things Fall Apart captured the intensity of a group with everything to lose and the world to gain".

"Along with works by Lauryn Hill, Common, and Black Star, Things Fall Apart is essential listening for anyone interested in the new breed of mainstream conscious rap".

"This new edition of Things Fall Apart fleshes out the story of its creation both through substantive liner notes and the addition of bonus tracks that further showcases The Roots' instrumental prowess and production skills. Even without those extras, this album stands alone as a testament to this group's power and artistic daring. Ever since, both The Roots and hip-hop have been straining to reach these heights again".
