Easy All - I just finished my entry for the Roots remix contest for their track Criminal. Check it out here - and if you like it, do us a big favour and hit the VOTE button! You don't
need to sign up or anything, just put your email in, they send you a confirmation link, and that's it! Unfortunately, this first round is being voted on by
the public, so in essence it's more of a popularity contest than anything to do with the actual tunes, but the next round is being judged by Questlove and
Black Thought, and I'd love them to hear something of mine. Anyone that likes it enough to want their own copy, grab it here. Thanks in advance!

That's why I love my MPC so much - you can just play the sh!t in straight off instead of fiddling about with some 'swing' feature! Did you check
the original? I'm really not feeling it too much - I love the Roots, but if the rest of the new album is gonna shape up like this I won't be too
interested in it.

Just checkin the original now. It's somethin different I s'ppose! Not too keen on the snare sound, but don't mind the rest. (Damn that sounds
ridiculously pretentious - sorry!) Similar aiming-for-the-anthem type vibes as that Eminem tune 'Lose Yourself', the whole crossover for the rock fans
angle. Probably not what Roots had in mind at all, but... Hip Hop can be kinda weird sometimes!

Yeah man, I'm getting a bit worried for Questlove's safety - if he tightens that snare anymore it might explode in his face...

if everybody voted who said he did, you should've gotten 10 new votes today!
