             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ It would've been easy for the Roots to sell out.   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Already one of the few groups whose fans extend    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ beyond the typical alternative rap base, tacking   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on the acoustic-guitary pop-rap song "Birthday     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Girl" -- which leaked the month before Rising      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Down's release and features Patrick Stump          ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ crooning "What is it we want to do, now that I'm   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ allowed to be alone with you?" -- could've been a  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ natural, and maybe even excusable move. Excusable  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ as a way to show that the Roots can be             ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ lighthearted, fun, and tongue-in-cheek (though     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ anyone who's heard any of their interviews or has  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ frequented ?uestlove's blog already knows this to  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ be true); not excusable, however, as the           ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ crossover track the label wanted it to be (and in  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ fact, in Japan and Europe, as well as on iTunes,   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ it remains as such). Fortunately, the Roots were   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ smart and thoughtful enough -- the very qualities  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ of whose criticism led to the creation of          ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Birthday Girl" -- to realize that its inclusion,  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ even as an afterthought, a bonus track, was        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ detrimental to the effect of the entire album,     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ dumbing down their thoughts on poverty and race    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ and politics with poppy melodies and creepy        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ (albeit ironic) jokes about statutory rape and     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ predatory old men.                                 ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║                                                    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Because as it stands, Rising Down acts as a        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ powerful statement on contemporary society, a      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ society in which even though the specific issues   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ may have changed (global warming, BET, new         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ technologies), the problems remain the same. For   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ this reason the album begins and ends with a       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ discussion from 1994, where Black Thought and      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ?uestlove are arguing about then-label Geffen      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ with their managers, and other bits of the past    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ are also spread throughout -- the 1987 freestyle   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "@15," which complements "75 Bars (Black's         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Reconstruction)," the reflection found in          ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Unwritten" and especially in the cover itself,    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ which nods to the crude caricatures from early     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ America, the black devil wreaking havoc on the     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ white pilgrims below. But it is these very         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ reminders that make the Roots and their message    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ in 2008 so much more relevant: they give context.  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ So when Black Thought says "It is what it is,      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ because of what it was/I did what I did 'cause it  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ does what it does" in "Criminal," he's not just    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ looking as his character's current situation,      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ he's drawing from history, and his conclusions     ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ are based upon lifetimes of "it being it" and      ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "doing what it does," of struggling and fighting   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ and trying to get by, to make it however he can.   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║                                                    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ These same thoughts are echoed by the Roots' MC    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ and the myriad talented guests who add their own   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ equally hard-hitting verses to the album's         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ tracks. "My life is on a flight that's going       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ down/My mother had an abortion for the wrong       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ child/...I felt love, that's gone now" Porn        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ rhymes in the disquieting "I Can't Help It" (the   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ other rappers on the song tackle ideas of          ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ chemical and monetary addictions), while on        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Singing Man," the dark, reticent production       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ gurgles with the pain and anger heard and stated   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ more overtly in the three MCs' voices (Porn,       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Black Thought, and Truck North) as they present    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ the sympathetic -- but not condoning --            ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ perspectives of suicide bombers and campus         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ shooters and child soldiers. It's dark and         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ serious and intense, but Rising Down does offer    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ hope, too, mostly in the form of the closing       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ track, "Rising Up," which features Def Jam         ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ backing vocals queen Chrisette Michele, D.C.       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ upstart Wale, and a Jay-Z-friendly beat. "We       ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ 'bout to dominate the world like Oprah did it,"    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Black Thought says to end the song, an optimism    ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ that's far more powerful than anything "Birthday   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Girl" can provide. Those words, confident but not  ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ cocky, are the final punctuation -- an ellipsis,   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ though, leading to a yet-completed thought -- on   ║▀░▓████░▀▄
             ▄▀░████▓░▀║ an album that's both revelatory and full of        ║▀░▓████░▀▄
