The Tipping Point is the sixth studio album by American hip-hop band the Roots, released July 13, 2004 on Questlove's Okayplayer Records and Geffen Records. It is named after Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell's book of the same name, and is the follow-up to Phrenology. 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. The Tipping Point has been noted by music writers for exhibiting and emphasizing soul, jazz, and funk influences as well. The song "I Don't Care" was featured on the soundtrack of the game Gran Turismo 4. The cover image is a stylised rendering of a 1944 Boston police mug shot of Malcolm X, following his arrest for larceny.
