The Roots' Black Thought recently detailed their forthcoming concept album, which is titled & Then You Shoot Your Cousin. In his own words, "Weâre close to being done on it, itâs coming soon, hopefully sometime this Spring. Itâs called And Then You Shoot Your Cousin. Itâs conceptual; itâs another concept album in the spirit of Undun, but itâs not just about just one kind of character, we create quite a few different characters in this record. Itâs satire, but in that satire itâs an analysis of some of the stereotypes perpetuated in not only the hip-hop community, but in the community. I donât know if that makes any sense."
Are you looking forward to the LP?Â
