so after being put off the Native Tongues by trying to listen to De La Soul Is Dead last year I decided to try listening to ATCQ's albums a couple days ago ((yes I need a prehistoric late pass))

they're dope as hell :ohhh:

I just caught a bunch of references.. everything from Kanye's "award tour with common my man" to the Can-I-Bus chorus to Industry rule #4080 etc

:ohhh:


:what::what::what::what: @ you not realizing this before, however better now that never more people need to understand The Tribe is the GOAT group in Hip-Hop let's be honest brehs

The Love Movement wasn't better than Beats Rhymes & Life

too many heads hated on the latter for not having "the tribe sound", or "not being Midnight Marauders or Low End Theory" and Consequence getting shine. Whole album was fire IMO, I can play the whole thing through without skipping :yeshrug:

I will never get the heads that thought that album and De La's Stakes is High were not good releases.

A Tribe Called Quest - Jam - YouTube

:win:
Beats Rhymes and Life is so so so slept on. shyt was/is dope as fukk

:lolbron: @ you. The only people that like Low End Theory more are people that hate perfect chemistry, Phife Dawg getting more shine, or delusional dudes that don't know any better:mjpls:

This is my favorite De La Soul album. They were just coming at rap from a totally different angle.
