Do You Want More?!!!??! is the second album by American hip hop band The Roots, released in January 17, 1995 on DGC and Geffen Records. It is the band's major-label debut, and was released two years after their independent debut album Organix in 1993. The production and lyrics of the album are heavily influenced by jazz music, such as the predominant use of live instruments and scat-singing used on the song "Essaywhuman?!!!??!".
The album peaked at #104 on the Billboard 200, and #22 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It has received positive reviews, and is considered by critics as a classic album of the jazz rap subgenre.
