Editorial Reviews

Product Description

'R.O.O.T.S.' an acronym for 'ROUTE OF OVERCOMING THE STRUGGLE' follows Flo Rida's internationally successful debut, 'MAIL ON SUNDAY,' which made an explosive Top 5 entry
onto the Billboard 200 upon its March 2008 release. As on the previous collection, 'R.O.O.T.S.' sees Flo Rida joining forces with an extraordinary array of A-list collaborators, featuring artists like Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, and Pleasure P, and including production from Jim Jonson, Dr. Luke, Eric Hudson, Mike Caren, and DJ Montay,
who produced 'Low.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Flo Rida releases an Excellent CD, April 10, 2009
I have to say I am very surprised to read the bad reviews of this album. I buy lots of CDs, lots and lots of them, and this is one of the very best I have bought lately. This album rocks and moves from the beginning until the end. There is no bad song on here. I have to wonder what people were wanting or expecting from it. Are they taking the title too literally and expecting a boring album with Flo Rida talking about the bad things of "overcoming the struggle" instead of realizing that maybe he is speaking of another "route to overcoming the struggle?" There are after all different routes available. I expect that more good reviews will come in as more people hear it. I for one highly recommend it. I have listened to it all the way through several times now and I expect to listen to it several more times. That is not true of many of the CDs I have in my large collection of various types of music. Also while the song "Right Round" is a takeoff of the old song by Dead or Alive I don't think the two need to be compared. They are different songs and if you want the Dead or Alive song, then go buy the Dead or Alive CD. Hey, I have it. Don't buy Flo Rida so you can make a comparison where there is none. The main thing I have learned from the reviews of this album so far is to not depend on these reviews for my purchases of CDs in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Filled With Great Hooks and Hit Singles, April 3, 2009
Given the heavy sampling of past hits and the endless parade of all-star guests, it is tempting to write this album off as nothing more than a guilty pleasure. But really, that would be selling Flo Rida a little short, because he accomplishes what he intends to do here - create about an hour of hooks, driving beats, and melodic jams that will be tearing up the airwaves and get heavy rotation in clubs all summer long. There is nothing new or innovative here, and actually, in some form or another, you've probably heard all of these songs before. But man, this guy can bring the hooks. He may not be original, but this album entertains, and it is impossible to sit still while it is playing. My only real criticism is that, by looking at the album cover, one would be inclined to think Flo Rida would elaborate a little more on his roots and the struggles he has overcome. He plays it a little too safe at times. But hey, lets face it, everything in music has been done already...and if you are not at all concerned with trying to reinvent the wheel, why not create an album that simply rocks? What I'm trying to say is that Flo Rida is not Prince, and he knows that. And rather than trying to stretch his talents too far and letting down his longtime fans, he does what he does best here and it works.

Whatever Flo Rida lacks by way of innovation, he makes up for that with a stubborn consistency and a knack for huge, killer hooks. 3.5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this CD!!!, September 16, 2009
By Y. Payne (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a middle aged white female who is just starting to appreciate rap/hip hop music. I bought this CD because I kept hearing Be On You on the radio and couldn't get the song out of my head. What a wonderful surprise to find that I love the entire CD! I can not get through a day without listening to it.
