The Roots Liner Notes for "How I Got Over"

You can be a part of The Roots' upcoming project "How I Got Over". Questlove, the group's legendary drummer, posted a note on Twitter soliciting questions for inclusion on the liner notes for the project.

I've already sent my question:
@okayplayer Why did it take over a year for "How I Got Over" to be officially released? (@Questlove)
But I still have thoughts:
  • It seems the liners notes would have been drafted by now since the project drops in less than a month.
  • Liner notes are great for albums and cds, but what about mp3s? I guess there some sort of electronic/digital version ... yes, there is, but it does not seem the same.
The questions for The Roots' "How I Got Over" liner notes have been rolling in feverishly.

Get to tweeting hip hoppers. Time to get your name in ink (or digitized). kfox.

UPDATE: The Roots "How I Got Over" Due in October

Yeah, I shoulda saw this coming. The Roots are all over the place, like usual. But you can't be all over the place and still finish a recording project. Thus The Roots' 11th studio project will hopefully drop now in October.

That's according to many sources including Okayplayer and Questlove's Twitter feed.

So whatcha gonna do now hip hoppers? Better question is what will I do now? kfox.

The Roots New Album "How I Got Over"

Well, I'm not the first to tell or the last to know, but The Roots will be releasing "How I Got Over" soon. Some say as early as June.

Here's the article from XXL w/some info about the project origin. This little article was tough for me to read.
A few weeks ago, I was making plans to go see The Roots in NYC @ the Highline Ballroom. I booked a flight, notified my friends, got all hyped. But I did not book tix to the show and guess what? It sold out - as stated in the article. Yeah, I'm still a bit surly about that one.
Meanwhile, I'm still supporting the fellas and sharing the love w/all the hip hoppers. kfox.
