"The Seed (2.0)" is the second single by The Roots from their fifth album Phrenology (2002).

Music and reception Edit

"The Seed (2.0)" is a hybrid mix of "distorted rock, hip-hop and psychedelic soul".[5] Brett Berliner of Stylus Magazine called the track "a rock song, featuring a little bit of funk and just a very little bit of hip-hop."[6] The song was favorably received by music critics. Robert Christgau called it the album's "centerpiece", "2002's freshest roots rock track and jammingest avant rap track".[7] Pitchfork's Sam Chennault described the song as an "orgiastic garage funk number" and called it the album's "most immediately satisfying track".[8] In 2009, Pitchfork listed it at number 330 in "The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s".[9] Stylus Magazine's Brett Berliner declared it the album's "best track" with its "catchy hook that stays with listeners for days".[6] In The A.V. Club's 2002 top fifteen "Songs of the Year", Stephen Thompson listed the single at number nine.[10] Jake Coyle of the Associated Press called it "one of the best rock songs of the decade".[11] It was ranked as the 43rd best song of the decade by Rolling Stone.
