listening to this high is better than every orgasm.. chillin' ..i believe my life is great, can forget all my fuckin problems out there.. the hook takes me away, mary jane!
@odinata "Growing up" on something doesn't necessarily mean you've heard it from the first day it came out. For instance, I've grown up on N.W.A since I was 12 even though their last album was 15 something years old when I first listened to them.
Lol, I'll try to make everyone I know aware of this. And if Trugoy "Mr. Everything Positive" the Dove enjoys sunshine (the drug), I guess I have to try it.
late in the night between dusk and dawn ...Jay-z , Luda , Wayne ,Fiddy all admit to themselves that they are nowhere close to De La Soul even if they are moving truckloads of cds.
"Cause the gun made a man outta pussys from around my way, who usually wouldnt have a fucking thing to say"....Pos always killing 2 birds with 1 stone..
@nircheek ive got a few of the rare de la and tribe songs on my account but noticed that song 'down syndrome' wasn't up so put it up and the audio got disabled straight away, got a feeling the same thing will happen to the other tracks on this album not uploaded.
One of the most underrated beats ever!!...Ridiculous!!...How can you not be a fan of this shit?...The perfect song for them to wrap the album up with...
Could this be a top 5 beat ever? I gotta say it is... few can rival it.... listen closely and it is a genius mix of sampling and originality....
I would say this beat + Nas' NY State of Mind, MF Doom's Kon Karne, Madlib's Sickfit, Ice Cube's It was a Good Day.... Those might be the top 5 beats ever, impact and feel for it considered...
@MarcoOrBust its in the song "prosper"..here are a few more of his really good songs:
only one me; how it should sound; the beat goes on; movin on; randi; gettin and stepping; day by day ft raw poetic; hogs on a hill; LB; j-live-braggin writes ft damu the fudgmunk
de la soul goes so fuckin hard...real hiphop bring that shit backk!! spam the oldschool vids so it gets everyones mind off tha new age with all that gaga and young money BULLSHIT
yo truth is truth the album I had when it dropped that summer when I graduated from highschool. I listen to rap that feeds this tool between these two shoulders... ya dig?... fin.
@alexdelgiudice1 no. this album got fucked over cause "It Was Written" was a better album and Nas,lets face it, is a better writer than all De La Soul combined. That's not even a debate.
@tropicalpimp Nas is one of the best to ever do it my guy, but comparing his rhymes to De La's is apples to oranges. Nas' cuts are gritty and raw, but De La is, more often than not, introspective and their lines tend to have more depth. They're pretty eclectic, honestly. Two different styles. Arguing which is better is just going to lead to the circular logic, ignorance, and fatuousness that plagues Youtube (and society for that matter). Both go down in my book as Top 10 Ever.
@thamidwestmob No one was comparing them.Youre' right,you can't compare.But someone stated that thisalbum was fucked over because Nas released "it was written" the same day.I was saying that the reason it got fucked over is cause a.Nas' album was better b.Nas' had much more publicity at the time.He was a new MC with a completely different style.It was innovative,gritty and thats they type of hiphop that was in demand in the mid 90's.MOst of you kids are still teenagers so you couldnt know that.
@tropicalpimp what are you doing here anyway fool go watch the "i can" video. dont you know nas fell off. hasnt came out with an ILL album since 01 nigga
@alexdelgiudice1 I dont see why the name calling came out of this but you seem to have been sexually abused to just be so aggressive for no reason. We are talking music,..not being internet tough guys like my 7 year old nephew.Did nas fall off compared to his peers?Sure. But If you think "STILLMATIC" was wack,the new shit he did with Damien Marley is wack,or the unrelelased joint he dropped a few years back was wack and al the guest features he's done on countless other albums,YOU are wack.
@tropicalpimp Nas is one of the best ever, but De La Soul is just as good, this song has a flow that can only be rivaled by Nas on NY State of Mind, and I mean a flow as whole, the beat just makes u nod your head like no other.... But De La Soul albums have been just as good as any Nas Album and that's saying a lot, I am a big Nas fan
@jerusalemasteroid It depends. I like gangsta rap first and foremost but not that garbage out there today. More storytelling type of material like Ice Cube, Kool G Rap & Geto Boys and so on. And of course political stuff like Public Enemy and Paris. I do love me a fair amount of positive, conscious stuff when I'm in the mood for it but sometimes a lot of it is just whining about wack emcees.
Lovin the RESPECT from Poland! Big ups SUN!!!!!! Hip Hop is the voice of the people Polish American whatever. One is not better then another. All that matters is you put it out there thats what Hip Hop is for, the voice of the public. P.S. NOT all American are culturally ignorant. BIIAATCHHHHHH!!!!!
listened to this when i took truffles (like shrooms, they are the new thing in amsterdam's smartshops), felt like i was in heaven. All I felt was love :D
I just like to say people slept on a lot this music coming up when it was out now that things have swayed away from this tru school material people want to recognize
On that note I'm not putting people down for recognizing what's real late it just troubles me that know people recognize the real
@shawnj32 I understand what you're saying, but it's hard to see the real because we see the fake on TV and then hear the fake on the radio. So it's like a trap, but once you turn off the tv and radio, then you're able to break free.
Pays to have a this album on hand lol dilla is credited to about 2 songs and this isn't one of them. Nonetheless, one of the most amazing tracks ever! Pure love throughout. Peace
This album is better than any album Tribe ever did...my opinion..lyrics are so much better. Wu said their albums were educating the youth..please..These dudes actually took their lyrics seriously and tried to provide a positive message for the youth. Much respect for these dudes.
O verdadeiro hip hop, quem curtia rap nessa época jamis imaginaria a proporção que o nosso movimento chegou hoje, vida longa ao verdadeiro hip hop vida longa a verdadeira luta!
Ive got no proof. I just remember i saw it somewhere. I checked it on wiki,but it doesnt mention Dilla co-producing it. I still think that the style of this beat is like a half-proof that it is done by Dilla.
@OriginalSamples Dilla didn't get much credit for his work... I think most of the songs from the earlier tribe albums were also produced by Dilla and nobody knew.
@bamhammer thats not true. Dilla has a discography of his music on rensoul.com that 1, 2. in what reason is there to not give dilla credit on his beats for the "Stakes Is High" Album! he did "itzsoweezee" gave him credit on that and of course "Stake Is High" why would they leave out any other tracks? doesnt make sense. also! check the credits if you have the actual cd. if im not mistaken Dave West made the beat.
@PhatsouL87 You're probably right, and I'm sure Dilla has a discography NOW... but then, before the Internet, nobody knew anything. When I was growing up, producers IN GENERAL didn't receive a lot of credit. People didn't ask, "Who did the beat" they asked "Who's rapping?" I meant at the time, Dilla was unknown and he remained unknown until he passed away... now everyone is a Dilla fan...
@bamhammer LMAO! @ everyone is a fan after his passing. that true too. and VERY TRUE about the generation when hip hop in the time of tracks like this one where very noticed to the sense of who produced it. people werent worried about credits and who produced the track. and it was True then that some producers werent getting credited for their work. i only remember 1 of dilla's tracks not getting cred for. and that was the "Janet Jackson" joint. im pretty sure you heard the situation on that.
@PhatsouL87 BTW ive been a "J Dilla" fan since "Jay Dee" if its safe to say since the Trinity album. and i know that doesnt make sense cause he wasnt with Slum during that album but! ive discovered his music (production) that ive heard before during that time of that album. ('02) the very first time ive heard of slum village. i feel in love with Tainted produced by Karriem Riggins. always thought elzhi was
dilla when he rapped cause their voices sound a lil similar. hearing Trinity, Welcome 2 Detroit, and Fantastic 2 all around the same time. but of course i did my homework around that time and all was history! thats when i feel in love with Slum Village (music) and Jay Dee aka J Dilla (music). before donuts. LOL! i think the first dilla beat i heard and loved was "Find A Way" "Drop"and "She Said remix" follow ups were "So Hardcore", "The Light", "Enjoy The Ride", "Live It Up", just to name a few
Respond to this video... AND THAT WAS EVEN BEFORE '02 lol i just didnt know who he was. so to what you were saying, your point is correct. and im digress. LOL just sayin tho. i mean maybe dilla did co-produce, i just dont know. i think De La knows.
yess, hiphop is corny nowadays, but it mainly has 2 do with the fact that the south is running the rap game now, if the east was doing it like back in the days mayb this wouldn't b much of an issue, but hey @ least j.cole is coming up. but where the fck r all the east coast rappers @? exclude niki, 50, jarule, e.t.c
hip hop culture is EXACTLY the same as it was 20 years ago. It just sounds different and rappers are younger n younger and more colorful. I wouldnt say they are more talented and lyrically skilled because theres no substance,butthe videos are all the same.
After "3 Feet High and Rising" their best would be "Stakes Is High". It has alot to do with the new musical direction and the current state of hio-hop at that time and the prophetic warnings by De La`s lyrics. Which is why were in a hip-hop creative slump when it comes to the new generation.
Reminds me of when hip hop was real, and artist where paved the way and didn't just follow what is considered "HOT".

From 95 to now, mainstream hip hop has been a dead scene.
Underground will always endure cause of true hiphop love.

@OriginalSamples
It is co-produced by dilla. But you can hear that its Dilla. No one else makes beats like this.

@9Bamba5 co-prod. by dilla...any proof?
OriginalSamples 1 year ago
@OriginalSamples
Ive got no proof. I just remember i saw it somewhere. I checked it on wiki,but it doesnt mention Dilla co-producing it. I still think that the style of this beat is like a half-proof that it is done by Dilla.

@OriginalSamples Dilla didn't get much credit for his work... I think most of the songs from the earlier tribe albums were also produced by Dilla and nobody knew.

@bamhammer yeah you're right..people thought it was Q-Tip or Ali, but most the work was from Dilla

@bamhammer thats not true. Dilla has a discography of his music on rensoul.com that 1, 2. in what reason is there to not give dilla credit on his beats for the "Stakes Is High" Album! he did "itzsoweezee" gave him credit on that and of course "Stake Is High" why would they leave out any other tracks? doesnt make sense. also! check the credits if you have the actual cd. if im not mistaken Dave West made the beat.

@PhatsouL87 You're probably right, and I'm sure Dilla has a discography NOW... but then, before the Internet, nobody knew anything. When I was growing up, producers IN GENERAL didn't receive a lot of credit. People didn't ask, "Who did the beat" they asked "Who's rapping?" I meant at the time, Dilla was unknown and he remained unknown until he passed away... now everyone is a Dilla fan...

@bamhammer LMAO! @ everyone is a fan after his passing. that true too. and VERY TRUE about the generation when hip hop in the time of tracks like this one where very noticed to the sense of who produced it. people werent worried about credits and who produced the track. and it was True then that some producers werent getting credited for their work. i only remember 1 of dilla's tracks not getting cred for. and that was the "Janet Jackson" joint. im pretty sure you heard the situation on that.

@PhatsouL87 BTW ive been a "J Dilla" fan since "Jay Dee" if its safe to say since the Trinity album. and i know that doesnt make sense cause he wasnt with Slum during that album but! ive discovered his music (production) that ive heard before during that time of that album. ('02) the very first time ive heard of slum village. i feel in love with Tainted produced by Karriem Riggins. always thought elzhi was

dilla when he rapped cause their voices sound a lil similar. hearing Trinity, Welcome 2 Detroit, and Fantastic 2 all around the same time. but of course i did my homework around that time and all was history! thats when i feel in love with Slum Village (music) and Jay Dee aka J Dilla (music). before donuts. LOL! i think the first dilla beat i heard and loved was "Find A Way" "Drop"and "She Said remix" follow ups were "So Hardcore", "The Light", "Enjoy The Ride", "Live It Up", just to name a few

Respond to this video... AND THAT WAS EVEN BEFORE '02 lol i just didnt know who he was. so to what you were saying, your point is correct. and im digress. LOL just sayin tho. i mean maybe dilla did co-produce, i just dont know. i think De La knows.

yess, hiphop is corny nowadays, but it mainly has 2 do with the fact that the south is running the rap game now, if the east was doing it like back in the days mayb this wouldn't b much of an issue, but hey @ least j.cole is coming up. but where the fck r all the east coast rappers @? exclude niki, 50, jarule, e.t.c

hip hop culture is EXACTLY the same as it was 20 years ago. It just sounds different and rappers are younger n younger and more colorful. I wouldnt say they are more talented and lyrically skilled because theres no substance,butthe videos are all the same.

After "3 Feet High and Rising" their best would be "Stakes Is High". It has alot to do with the new musical direction and the current state of hio-hop at that time and the prophetic warnings by De La`s lyrics. Which is why were in a hip-hop creative slump when it comes to the new generation.
