An ouncebag of funk

[brooklynkid913]

dimebags of funk

[CaliforniaAngelsBOYY]

ladybug mecca is pretty

[Lashid4u]

If you only watched MTV for rap vids, you'd NEVER know about these other songs, convinced that this group was a one-hit wonder ...That's why, after I discovered the Video JukeBOX channel, I was like, "Yo! MTV, WHO?"

[ern363]

@Lashid4u also Rap city on " BET " when it was black owned :0

[overscan]

@Lashid4u growing up in NYC we had Video Music Box with VJ Ralph McDaniels. Ths was 1988 to 1993 the golden age of rap...

[Lashid4u]

@overscan Those years are correct

[conniegurl526]

i grew up to digable planets.

[pterafirma]

Reminds me a lot of Shriekback's song "Beatle Zebra Crossing". This would make a cool mashup.

[brianab31]

@pterafirma LOVE Shriekback! Nice call. I think more "Psycho Drift", however.

[btinsley1]

why cant a group of today with jazz, hip-hop, poetry and ease of vibe put it down like this? no-one like them before...no one like them SINCE...

[nuknuknuk111]

24 people got dime bags full of shit

[Lashid4u]

@nuknuknuk111 LOL!

[Yezzur011]

[cainocrodrigue]

This how we do NYC

[slimmsayton]

I've had many hip-hop crushes in my life, but I still say Mecca the Lady Bug was the cutest rapper who ever lived. Sorry Lyte.

[LaTainaIndia]

@slimmsayton - What about Monie?

[slimmsayton]

@LaTainaIndia Monie was a cutie pie, too. I'm stickin' with Mecca.

[LaTainaIndia]

@slimmsayton - ;-) U know she's Latina right? Brazilian.

[celisoog]

[larrymcjones]

[Yesiamblind]

This is the chillest thing ever.

Btw "Butterfly" has this project called Shabazz Palaces and just released the record of the fucking YEAR. It's so good, kinda different from this, REALLY out there and melts your BRAIN.

[yoseph89]

[BoredRandomCraptv]

[RootsRunDeeep]

@BoredRandomCraptv ladybug mecca has an underground solo career. her tunes are nice- google her and check her stuff out on utube too

[xxxMrG]

@cripbuddz

Damn son, where da f**k you been the last 2 decades???? lmao.

[Avonbarksdaleable]

Nickel baag! a Nickel baag! Ladybug'll hit ya with a nickel bag!!!!!

[Wutwut1n1]

the best top comments on a song called nickel bags, and weed is illegal?

[batmanlooksgood]

I felt Digables got robbed when Arrested development beat them outta a Grammy back in the day.

[MyJunior1975]

@batmanlooksgood They both won a Grammy, but at different times. Both of them won Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group for "Tennessee" (1993) and "Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" (1994). When Arrested Development won a Grammy for Best New Artist in February 1993, Digable Plantes were ineligible because their first album wasn't released until September 1993.

[justdoit42380]

This song is rapping about what I need. Just kidding

[sotathug941]

where is this group from?

[ofirharlev]

repetitive diction. these mc's suck

great beat though

[nuknuknuk111]

@ofirharlev u must be on crack to say digable planets suck

[ofirharlev]

@nuknuknuk111 i said the mc's suck

c'mon man, they have no flow at all, its all the same thing over and over. the beats are cool though.

[Lashid4u]

@ofirharlev ..but that's their style ...and that's what I miss - rappers/emcees having their own, unique, style (unlike these so-called rappers today, all trying to rap fast but not sayin' shit ...all w/ the same flow as Lil Wayne or Eminem)...

Get off that crack, and try smokin' a nickle-bag o' FUNK!

[KingRogan]

@ofirharlev They flow perfectly to the beat, are you serious? If they flowed any other way, or flowed on a different kind of beat, it just wouldn't sound right.

[malavida77]

@ofirharlev the best mcs in the 90s...you must be deaf......better be quit,,,shhhhhhhh!!!

[Lashid4u]

@ofirharlev You're probably one of these who think that good emceeing is about how fast you can rap...*sigh*

[ofirharlev]

@Lashid4u

flow and diction is far from being only a fast rapper.

it's like a drummer that knows only one beat. or a guitarist that plays his notes in the same order and manner all the time.

no imagination at all. check out mc's like abdominal, chali 2na, B real. only a few who know the art of mc'ing

[2WK09]

@ofirharlev MAN HOW COULD YOU BE TALKIN BOUT M'CING ND LEAVE OUT MY BOYS INSPECTAH DECK ND GHOSTFACE?!?!?!?!?

[ofirharlev]

@2WK09 just threw out a couple of names that went through my head bro. no diss

[2WK09]

@ofirharlev yea i know man dont even trip........i was just remembering the part in 8 mile when dere all talkin bout who dere favorite/da best mc is so i felt like saying that haha.....plus dey were playing Wu Tang so dose two rappers came to my mind

[Lashid4u]

@ofirharlev Trust me, I know what you're saying on that (I just made a post, talking about how repetitive "rappers" are, today, having to constantly use the N-word and B-word as fillers), but I disagree on them "sucking" ...I appreciate their originally and style, even if this were not my preference style...

[secretcountry]

@ofirharlev are you really going on multiple DP videos and talking shit? if your not already, really listen to and think about the lyrics. but if you are/do and still dont see it, just go listen to something else man.

[ofirharlev]

@secretcountry just don't trip out man.

as I said, I DO enjoy the music. sorry for having an opinion !

[realdeal057]

@ofirharlev Really? Their flows are immaculate, on point and artistic.... You sound mad ignorant right now....

On another note Doodlebug will be performing a rare show in Miami in Sept.... That is going to be awesome

[THEAfroSpeller]

@ofirharlev you're not listening. their songs have universal meaning.

[THEAfroSpeller]

@ofirharlev I'm guessing you have not listened to ALL of their songs, and if I am wrong about that then you were recommended here by a friend who said digable planets was good. But in all either way, you are a cynical person who doesn't know anything about TRUE hip-hop anyway and u are in no way an expert on the art.In fact you are the exact opposite. Plus there is no reason to go on a video about a group you know u don't like just to make inflammatory comments about peoples preferences.

[THEAfroSpeller]

@ofirharlev you obviously think you're such an expert on this, then YOU make a SUCCESSFUL group and last a whole decade.

[MrDBoyd75]

Let's just say I like this song for my own personal, yet obvious reasons!!! lol I'm hungry...

[gregnice25]

IMAGINE A 2011 REMIX OF THIS SONG WITH DMX...STRAIGHT FIRE...fact: dmx ripped it on his album with the beat quite similar to this one...

[MCofdaNite]

@BorvoeMcMidnite

[m3liss4jo]

@Sugar000TONGUE ???

[m3liss4jo]

@Sugar000TONGUE 

[KidKool39]

[deadpresidentz510]

@DrewTheFew they sampled herbie mann's push push

[ayeshter]

[bigblackracoon]

@ayeshter Sometime in the 90's. Ah good times, good times.

[Flubbre2100]

@ayeshter 1993

[iKidDoomi]

[droid740]

I send the young kids obsessed with rap to these guys. All you need to learn about rapping is taught by listening to Digable Planets.

[DoctorFeelgood341]

@droid740 hell ya man thats the only way to get anywhere with all this wack shit out there now. you just have to open the minds of kids these days and show them what hip hop is

[juicymediagroup]

How could we forget them? Shame on you HipHop!

[melodsys]

the 90s hiphop new school IS fat

[afrowearing]

@melodsys I'm sure you meant "PHAT"

[CrustyRim1]

Hip Hop thats about something aside from money, ass and goldfronts. Good shit!

[hollaatyaboy12]

instead of reading 18th poetry century in school we should ananlyze this

[Wutwut1n1]

@hollaatyaboy12 holy fuck exactly

[josebuencamino]

@hollaatyaboy12 But you gotta admit, 18th century poetry's pretty interesting.

[kimthejunglist]

remembering the days being roofied out to this,and now you couldnt pay me to do drugs,time changes anything.

[Kawabic]

@javoneybaby why did you take roofies to a song about a nickel bag... youre a fucking dumbass you shouldnt be doing drugs anyway.

[wvawwtopline]

[seattletyrida]

If u still checking for Ish watch Jake One's "Home". Ish rips plus he came home for real.

[Wutwut1n1]

we need more women like ladybug, not super slutty/whorey but still beautiful, sexy and attractive

[Spiega]

@Wutwut1n1 and with positive attitude, totally agree

[tdbrown88tdb]

20 ppl lost their minds to dislike this song

[cen1276]

This track also contains a sample of "Easin' In', performed by Edwin Starr.

The same sample is most popularly known on the song "High Rollers" by Ice-T.

[Wutwut1n1]

how could people hate weed, fuck the world

[RevolutionaryWind]

guys, does anyone know what kind of car this is?

Please let me know! :)

[cen1276]

@RevolutionaryWind That's a Pontiac Bonneville.

Looks like a late 60s-early 70s model type.

It's straight boulevard pimpin, I know that for sure.

[yellyyow]

is it me,or does the one name butterfly look like the singer maxwell?

[jonhon]

i wish i was older than 5 when this was released.
