Things Fall Apart (album)
''Things Fall Apart'' (also referred to as ''When Things Fall Apart'') is the fourth studio album by American hip hop band The Roots, released February 23, 1999 on Geffen Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at Electric Lady Studios during 1997 to 1999, coinciding with recording for other projects of the Soulquarians collective, including D'Angelo's ''Voodoo'' (2000), Erykah Badu's ''Mama's Gun'' (2000), and Common's ''Like Water for Chocolate'' (2000). According to ''Spin'' magazine, the album is a landmark moment for The Roots and the collective, as it "swelled the Roots clique into a movement-style posse".〔Aaron, Charles. "(Review: ''Things Fall Apart'' )". ''Spin'': 88. June 2008.〕
The album has been considered by music writers as The Roots's breakthrough album, earning praise from major publications and critics,〔Hoard, Christian. "(Review: ''Things Fall Apart'' )". ''Rolling Stone'': 702–703. November 2, 2004.〕 while becoming the group's first record to sell over 500,000 copies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =RIAA Searchable Database - Search Results - The Roots )〕 It includes the song "You Got Me", which won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, while ''Things Fall Apart'' was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album of the same year, losing to Eminem for his ''The Slim Shady LP''. ''Rolling Stone'' called it a "top-flight record",〔 while Allmusic cited it as "one of the cornerstone albums of alternative rap."〔 The album takes its title from Chinua Achebe's novel of the same name, which in turn took the phrase from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Second Coming".〔(Washington State University study guide )〕 As of April 5, 1999, ''Things Fall Apart'' has been certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).〔 As of April 24, 2013, ''Things Fall Apart'' has been certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America.
==Recording==
Recording for ''Things Fall Apart'' began in 1997 and was completed in early 1999. Sessions for the album coincided with those for other Soulquarians projects at Electric Lady Studios, including D'Angelo's ''Voodoo'' (2000), Erykah Badu's ''Mama's Gun'' (2000), and Common's ''Like Water for Chocolate'' (2000).〔Peisner, David. "(Body & Soul )". ''Spin'': 64–72. August 2008.〕 Questlove has stated that during this period, the group recorded upwards of around 145 songs, later whittling down their choices to 14 songs (intros and interludes withstanding).〔Questlove writes about each song from the album in its liner notes. Retrieved on April 22, 2007 (Pg 6)〕 The last song to be included to the final selection was "Double Trouble", featuring Mos Def. Initially, the song was supposed to feature a guest appearance from Mos' Black Star partner, Talib Kweli but due to the format of the track, it was decided to make it a throwback to the Run D.M.C./EPMD tag-team style of rap, with just two MCs.〔
