De La is hands down one the best groups in hip hop history… and consistent… they never tried to go with trends… they just stayed who they were… and their core group of true fans are loyal (I being one of them)….they are hip hop’s Grateful Dead… PS – STAKES IS HIGH (most slept on CD EVER!)

Damn, only 3 comments too. Real hip hop ain’t dead, it’s fans are…

Loves DeLa…pot holes in my lawn! This is when hip hop was fun and actually had a message other than get money.

Hell yeah…

Me, Myself and I was the joint. I was in Junior High back then.

Tribe in here too.. <3 Q-Tip

I stem from these dudes glory days, i bought that album rusty, and used to dance to it daily in junior high.

We grooved back then and where the furthest things from thugs.

“Saturday, saturday its a saturday, saturday its a saturdayyyyeeeaayyyyaaayyyyy!”

THIS IS TRUE HIP HOP WITH REAL ARTISTS.

“Five days to work, just one day to play, come on everybody get your roller skates today! Saturday it’s a Saturday, Saturday, it’s a Saturday-eeyayeeyayeeyayyy!”

YES!!

-Shakes head at Touche…man were those the days of hip-hop or what?

smh@the good ole days…

-sighs.

This is real hip-hop.

These are real lyrics!

I still rock 3 Feet High and Rising, and De La Soul is dead. There was also Jungle Brothers, Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah. Native Tongue was the joint until “gansta” rap took over.

De La all the way baby. Love, them, they make Albums..all the way through. Skits, story line, etc. I saw perform last year and they rocked it. I would definitely see them again.

Native Tongue was the joint until “gansta” rap took over.

This was real hip hop. I still like Natvie Toungue over everything else.

Plug 1, Plug 2.

I’m a fan RAP not HIp Hop, I like that gangsta rap. Hell it’s honesty in black youth even if it is wrong. our society bred greed in our youth and it comes out in our music, we our plegued by drugs and violents in our community and it comed out in our music as well, Rap music is a reflection of sighs of the time bad or good. Hip Hop is a alternative life style or somthing to do New York or whatever…yall can have that – down here in the south things are kept in real perspective even if it is negative, its whats going on in our hoods.

It really is a shame that hip hop went from this to what is on the airways nowadays…I blame crack

They my boys and everything, but Trugoy you getting real fat bro.

I was really in love wit rap….maybe hip hop will come back since….everything is else is coming back…(leg warmers, colored jeans)…i wish it was saturday…..

LOVED De La Soul

I know that I had their tape when I was a kid. We listened to this and gansta rap so when our parents were around we bumped De La, Tribe, or PE. but when they were gone we played NWA, DJ Quick, and Luke.

De La Soul all day. all night. all my life. I remember when I first heard plug tunin and my friends did not get that. Yo they were/are truly classic. I own all their cd’s. Dammmmn thanks for the memories and Just Saying thanks for the info. O.M.G. Potholes in my lawn, Jennifa taught me. The list go on and on. Wish I seen this blog sooner. Love them.
