Monday Morning Quarterback #2

From the moment I got off of work on Friday, to this morning driving back in, 75 Bars has been my car anthem.  One of the buried tracks on The Root's disappointing 2008 album Rising Down, this one slapped me around when I cranked it up after a long, hard week. From the initial drum roll, to the frentic Black Thought rhyme, this is classic roots.  You feel like a guest at an exclusive small club date where a battle broke out.  Some guy just heckled Thought, the music comes to a grinding stop, ?uestlove counts off the beat, and away we go with Thought completely dismantling the competition.  A true knockout.  At least someone from Phili won this weekend.  (Note:  Very salty language on this one)
