Nappy Roots - 123
Artist: Nappy Roots
Producer: Slick [for Slickbeatz]
Album: DJBooth.net Exclusive
Label: Nappy Roots Ent Group
As I type these words, it’s 1:22 in the afternoon, but according to my computer clock, which is set on EST to correspond to DJBooth.net’s official schedule, it’s 2:22. If you’re reading this, however, it’s likely quite a bit later in the evening—unless you’re in a completely different time zone, or you’re simply enjoying a leisurely scroll through the Booth archives at some unspecified point in the future. In any case, none of that makes the slightest bit of difference to a certain reader-acclaimed, Kentucky-based rap quintet—as far as Fish Scales, Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V are concerned, it’s always time for the Nappy Roots to “get it.” Personally delivered to our inbox by Scales, Booth-exclusive cut 123 finds the Roots showing and telling exactly why they’re known as Southern hip-hop legends over a hard-hitting, gunshot-fortified instrumental by Slick (of Slickbeatz). With a larger-than-life sound and plenty of outsized braggadocio to match, 123 won’t disappoint the group’s many devotees, and the “Booth-exclusive” stamp of approval only makes this Southern banger all the sweeter.

Man, I am utterly flattered that a group I grew up listening to in high school personally reached out to run an exclusive feature (I felt the same way when they recorded a freestyle for our series).
Not only that... but its a really nice record. Really nice. Hip Hop needs the Nappy Roots.

A decent track from Nappy Roots, though this dosnt match up to the tracks on their last LP.
The production did take away from the lyrics |

Seems like this has been a hit or miss song. I liked it. I don't know why everyone is saying the production is bad. I don't think it really took away from the song. All of the verses were good. The hook was only OK but I still think this is a banger.

Although production isnt interesting enuff it still hits hard. Lyrics combine and I think its rotation-stuff.

charm parker and that1kid. you guys always bash the songs that deserve the most credit. why don't you two go put on some club stuff ya'll can grind up on eachother two and leave the real hip hop to the rest of the guys at the booth. as for the song, great hip hop display, solid all around effort from a classic group

This beat is not for the mood I am in. Creative but annoying as hell, right now. If I was at a stadium waiting for a UFC fight to began this would be fitting. Nappy is alway on point as a group. This song is just not for the mood I'm in.

Chicken and grits are my favorite and so are the Roots. The beat was not the best, but the Roots get it every time, so it didn't even matter.

It's not the best Nappy has put out but I do like it. Ya'll need to keep with the old Nappy sound that you came up with. Don't be LL Cool J trying to change to meet the times, It just does'nt work. Be yourselves!!! Be Nappy!!!
