DJ Shadow vs. The Roots

Aright, so I love the Roots. I'd like to think that they don't "steal music," - they just give props to other artists by taking what they've done and giving it a new flavor.



I just picked up their newest album "Rising Down" and so far as I've heard, it sounds nice (I'm actually just listening to it as I'm typing,) BUT there is something very familiar about track 2!

Rising Down (feat. Mos Def and Styles P) - the title track, has sick guitar line that you might recognize! Hear it? It's from DJ Shadow's "Hardcore Hip-hop" on the Private Repress album.
