Records of 2010 - 9. The Roots - How I Got OverThe Roots are old-heads but I love to keep listening. "How I Got Over" is of course about jumping hurdles. I was never great at that. Once at school though, on sports day, I was winning the hurdles race. I must have been around 13. Just at the last one, I bottled it and clipped the last hurdle, losing my footing and finishing 2nd. I do this when I play pool too - race ahead and then fuck up on the 8-ball. Anyway The Roots still haven't overcome everything, hence a little irony in the albums title, but ?uestlove's soulful production as right on and the rhymes as best as they've ever done. Get on board. That's it.
