Description

The Tipping Point is the sixth studio album by hip hop band The Roots, released July 13, 2004 on Geffen Records. It is named after Malcolm Gladwell’s book of the same name (2000), and it serves as the follow-up to Phrenology(2002). The album is a musical departure from their previous work, featuring a more diverse, yet pop-oriented sound, and it contains lyrics associated with rapping-prowess, political insight, and social commentary.

"Star" contains samples of the composition "Everybody Is A Star" by Sly and The Family Stone written by Sylvester Stewart. "Stay Cool" contains samples of the composition "Harlem Hendo" written by Paul Griffin and Yolanda Paterno. Performed by Al Hirt.
