of all the jazz-rappers, digable were the least, like the rest.
Is Butterfly's Grammy speech what led to Digable Planets getting blackballed?

No lies told but I fukked with Blowout Comb.
wtf revisionist snit is happening in this thread. Let me tell the u the NY during that time. Digable Planets was wack. Period. Ladybug was cool but let’s be clear of who/what was out when they released their best work.
Dre - The Chronic
Pharcyde - Passing you buy
Das - They want efx
Gangstar - Daily Operation
Redman
EPMD - Who made a song called Crossover which was about groups like Digable and Arrested Development who weren’t viewed as “real” like...
and for underground heads like myself at that time, we were hearing Nas, Large Pro, Wu, Diamond D and Common.
For pro black/mathematics, we had Bran Nubian, X clan, KRS and PE. More abstract we had Tribe, JB’s, Pharcyde.
Digable sucked in that landscape, THAT is why we ain’t from them.
The vocals are mixed low on Blackout Comb and it always irritated the hell out of me. If I could turn the vocals up I would probably feel the same way y'all do. A lot of those tracks had a very spiritual feel.

FF sounded like the actual Jazz musicians (scat-rap flows) in a HipHop setting whereas Digable reminded me of beatniks in a HipHop setting (what some call jazzoetry)
