all this shit was so amazing to those of us who were there for the start of this hip hop shit. all brand new sounds, all new voices, it was almost spiritual for some of us.
I discovered de la over a year ago and have loved the first three albums, from previews ive always been put off by the change of sound on this album but so glad ive finally seen sense, so many solid tunes on this album!
@DroyD91 I came into them when their 2nd album came out & I still don't like the first as much as the next 2 or 3. The Grind Date [2004] is really good too.
@headphoneharmonics Ain't nothing wrong with Naughty by Nature. If anything, they just proved together with DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince that pop-rap can be as good as anything without being overly corny and crap.
@2106BAMBAM When/where do you feel they're hating on 'Pac? Is it @2:32? where he says "Crackin' jokes like you're Potsie / When's the last time you had Happy Days?" (If so, Potsie was a goofy character in the TV show Happy Days.)
YO.....Monie Luv...Lords of the underground.....The Roots....The Bush Babies....Def Comedy Jam Comedians as the Lunch ladies....Salt N Pepper...Young Zee and the outsiderz....Prince Paul....Kid Capri....Fat Man Scoop....Da Youngstaz....Play.....Pete Rock.....GURU (R.I.P)....LIL DJ Jus and his lil partna "Remember their McDonalds Commercial lol".....And theres I believe a few more i missed ??? This had to be the funnest most epic video shoot EVER!!!!!!! Makes me wanna damn near cry watchin this!
"I own the deed to some acres in the West Indies, where my Pops is building residences to house my seed. Y'all niggas pray to hotrods and not God while Versace play you bitches like Yahtzee, cracking jokes like you Potsie, when was the last time you had "Happy Days", blazing up your herb to escape the maze, but the problem stays....." Mad flow, soldiers....
A "who's who" of East Coast Hip Hop royalty. New York was running the game back in the day. That's back when it was pure, lol. Now brothas grooving to soldier boy and other gutter sh*t with no message.
FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD THIS JOINT IT WAS '95 OR '96 I DO BELIEVE.... HEARD IT ON MIXTAPE CALLED BAD BOY VOL# 4 FEAT, DJ S AND S... THAT MIXTAPE WAS A CLASSIC... ON THAT MIXTAPE DIDDY HAD A WHOLEEEEEEEEEE LOT TO SAY!!
We will never see these days again. I'm guilty of this myself because all I listen to negativity but I always back pedal and listen to some real Sh*t. This was dat shi*t back in da day. I love it.

no dislikes lets keep it that way, and if you do dislike it, thus is because your a fag and feel like being that guy, or you have no brain inside your dumbass skull which is full of gay. this is upbeat rap, its been dead for a while. respect it.
"Cubans don't car what ya'll ni**as do, Columbians ain't never ran with your crew, while you acting all spicy and shiesty, the only Italians you knew was iceys"!!!! Classic lyric to downgrade all paper mobsters and gangsters. DOPE!

Monie Love, Baby Power (Lyricist Lounge Show), Pacewon & Young Zee (Outsidaz), ?uestlove & Black Thought, Zhane, Bobbito, Kid Capri, Pete Rock, Guru, Jungle Brothers, Prince Paul, Dj Jus & Lil Nique.
@seattletyrida Good catch on all, but you missed DoitAll from Lords of the Underground @ 2:38 and Jean Forte. One of my favorite vids/songs from back in the day
i dont care what year it is,or what the new school listens to,"weezy woo" " weezy wiz",or "dante west" who ever they call themselves my heart and mind belongs with my hip hop mid 90's generation
