Critic Reviews
Show All-
Entertainment Weekly
You won’t leave R.O.O.T.S. knowing much about Dillard the man, but you’ll probably think Rida the rapper is an excellent — if eventually exhausting — party guest.
-
The New York Times
Not once does Flo Rida overpower his reference points, making him a rarity: an entertainer wholly without ego, a phantom presence on his own songs.
-
The Los Angeles Times
There's an almost geometric symmetry to "R.O.O.T.S.' " pop precision, one that lends it a ruthless efficacy and anoints Flo Rida the first anonymous rap superstar.
-
IGN
R.O.O.T.S. is a cohesive album that shows Flo Rida's solid vocal and emcee skills, his good sense of humor and eclectic and playful musical taste.
-
The Seattle Times
“R.O.O.T.S.” is hollow and forgettable.
-
Hip Hop DX
His latest effort R.O.O.T.S doesn’t necessarily bring anything new to the table (dancey rap tracks with a handful of cameos), but it doesn’t bring anything less than Mail On Sunday did either.
-
Journal Star
Flo Rida is bright spot in what has been a rather bleak winter for mainstream hip-hop.
-
Digital Spy
Flo Rida's second effort is a testosterone, bog-standard rap album.
-
Sputnik Music
In his attempt to please everyone, R.O.O.T.S. denies the rapper any possibility of making an album that truly excels.
-
XXL Magazine
Chock-full of club anthems, singsongy lyrics and upbeat production, Flo’s sophomore set packs enough catchy jingles to keep him atop the charts, if nothing else.
-
RUKUS
It’s a soulful, highly entertaining, and deliciously expansive musical introduction to a true platinum level talent.
-
Independent
A modest talent blessed with an engaging delivery but scant originality.
-
Contact Music
His rap flow is good and there's soul definitely coming through.
-
Rock NYC
Flo Rida’s second album. R.O.O.T.S. is quite possibly the pop album of the year.
