Album Notes
It's easy to see Florida-native MC Flo Rida emerging as a divisive figure. He embraces the modern cornerstones of hip-hop/R&B (Akon cameos, samples of popular dance songs from different decades), but is also an unabashedly corny throwback to the days of booty bass and 2 Live Crew. That being said, R.O.O.T.S. doesn't require analysis. Instead, it commands attention with its unending emphasis on uproarious catchiness. There are moments of unintentional awkwardness, as when the macho mic-ripper lifts '80s icons Dead Or Alive's "Right Round" for the album's lead single. But tracks like "Jump" and "Touch Me" are so absurdly infectious, straddling the line between underground electro and commercial rap, that it's easy to give Rida a pass on his way to broad, radio-driven acceptance.

Editorial Reviews
Songs like the squiggly 'Gotta Get It (Dancer)' and the hyperspeed thumper 'Jump' practically come with their own strobe light... -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly

Chock-full of club anthems, singsongy lyrics and upbeat production, Flo's sophomore set packs enough catchy jingles to keep him atop the charts...
XXL

The best cuts are those that mirror the MC's usual themes with even more familiar sounds...
