“Dear God 2.0″ obviously remakes Monsters Of Folk’s “Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)” and is maybe referencing “The Seed (2.0),” Internet 2.0, and (by default) XTC, but once Black Thought gets going, it reminds me of Common’s “Retrospect For Life.” The mellow, globally-minded letter to the big guy, which finds Jim James reprising his “Dear God” role, appears on the Roots’ forthcoming How I Got Over.
(Via TwentyFourBit)
How I Got Over is out 6/22 via Def Jam. It also features Joanna Newsom and members of the Dirty Projectors, etc.

Seems like an applicable sample integration.
Holy crap this album is good. I cannot say enough about how well they meld so many genres together.
