Few hip-hop collectives personify summer like Philadelphia’s the Roots, whose double disc of greatest hits handpicked by the band’s prolific drummer, ?uestlove, has been deceptively titled Home Grown! The Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Roots (Volumes One and Two). “Understanding” the world’s best hip-hop band is as simple as letting this two hour-plus opus cruise through your consciousness. Any questions? Simply consult ?uestlove’s detailed ramblings on the liner notes, (even Grammy winners have their electricity cut off, forget to thank people and write things like “biaaatch!!”). Unlike previous albums – Phrenology in particular – the innovation is to be found in the ways they push the tracks’ boundaries, calling on like-minded artists such as Common, Jaguar Wright, Jill Scott, Eve, Beanie Sigel, Mos Def and D’Angelo to join the ride. Check the woozy live medley of The Seed, Melting Pot and Web, the dub version of Break You Off or the almost unrecognisable Don’t Say Nuthin’ remix for proof of their insane musicianship and ability to bend a track. If it’s the jazzy aspect of the Roots that floats your boat, check out West Oaktown from British producer Colossus (he’s 2… But there’s a likeable simplicity about Vibrasics and the way they draw on soul, jazz and funk to create something original. Check Step a Little with Anji Sami, the chorus on Lesson One or Mattberry Jam, which turns from blazing funk to jazz with ease. The Roots: Home Grown!

Perhaps his political rivals in the Iranian clergy were on the point of getting rid of him. In that case, the last thing the West should do was to take a tough line; that would only bolster Ahmadinejad by inflaming Iranian popular feeling. So in Washington and in London people crossed their fingers, hoping for the deus ex machina of a home-grown regime change in Teheran. This gave the Iranians all the time they needed to produce weapons-grade enriched uranium at Natanz.
