just picked up some noteworthy new hip hop______the much anticipated new one from the roots, phrenology, lives up to their reputation of innovation, mixing straight up hip hop and r&b with rock, heavy metal, and even electro (check out the hidden track)_____also, the new one from detroit�s slum village,trinity.although missing cofounder/super producer jay dee (except as producer on a few tracks) and lacking in consistency, the album is still excellent in places (noteably the herbert-sampling "what is this")
