Released: Sep 1996
Label: Def Jam Recordings
As a response to people who felt that the Roots' live instrumentation was too gimmicky, the group released Illadelph Halflife in 1996. The outfit resolved to sample itself, looping ?uestlove's solid drum clip and playing up the studio angle. The album manages to capture their intense live dynamic and agility at creating innovative, solid beats.
