Native Tongues Stayed Catching The Beats

[Waterproof]

The muscle was...

I tried to let this pass because y'all keep bringing up Chris Lighty and y'all think he was a member of The Native Tongues

1st Rest In Peace to Chris Lightly one of hip hop first major and powerful Manager.

Chris was never a member of Native Tongues, He was carrying crates for DJ Red Alert who was an unofficial member of The Native Tongues because he broke ATCQ, Queen La, Black Sheep to the industry. So Chris was there in the cuts carrying Red Alert records and see the beginnings of The Native Tongues

So yes he was in the circle, yes he ran with them but he wasn't a member of The Native Tongues.

He left around them and worked for Russell Simmons Rush Management and left and started up Violators Management after his old gang he was apart of.

Did Chris got in scuffles and had Native Back, yes he did. And they returned the favor and got on his Violator Album

He was the manager of many of them and friend of them so you might as well call him a member or a close affiliate at worst. He brought De La and Tribe with him to Rush and he started Violator Management while there and kept them. He never "left" them.

Chris Lighty 1968-2012: From The Bronx to Native Tongues to Top Hip-Hop Exec

He got his start in hip-hop in the mid-'80s, carrying records for DJ Red Alert and worked with KRS-One's Boogie Down Productions. From there he became manager for several prominent rap groups linked to the influential Native Tongues collective, including Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.

Russell Simmons and Lyor Cohen recruited Lighty in 1989 to work at their Rush Management, rap's first major management company. Lighty brought clients A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul into the firm's fold, and worked with Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian and Eric B. & Rakim, among others, while with Rush as well. He even moonlighted as an occasional rapper in the late '80s/early '90s, rhyming on the Black Sheep track "Pass the 40," from the duo's acclaimed 1991 debut, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

In 1990, while still at Rush, Lighty founded Violator. When Rush closed down a few years later, Lighty brought along several Rush clients (including Busta Rhymes and A Tribe Called Quest) as he and former co-owner/president Mona Scott-Young began focusing solely on Violator.

Who gives a Shyt?!?

The Native Tongues purpose was to provide us Good Music that also provided enlightenment and made black folks feel good about themselves at the same time

"The Low End Theory'. "De La Soul is Dead" and 'Done by the forces of Nature' are the some of the greatest albums in hip hop

And they accomplished that


Without being ignorant wanna be gangsters or C00NS

OP IS A BUFFOON infatuated with Sensationalism

I hope to God the OP isn't over the age of 30

Cause he is an embarrassment

Thank God we didn't have the Internet back then ...so we don't have to deal with FUKKBOYs like the OP

I couldn't say it no better bruh, these nikkas acting like they are not exempt from criticism for their shyt. And these posters who's crying are groupies and hoes.

2pac, Ice Cube are my favorites emcees and I criticised them

These artist are not my Father, I'm a true OG Hip Hop head and from my era we call people out.

In the 90's Pos was called out plenty of Times, Q-Tip was called out plenty of Times by Hip Hop heads who was fans of the group.

These posters wasn't even there, revisionist and they are the reason why hip hop is fake today and soft.

Hip hop and groups became their idols and father

Hip hop to us was a way of life, our expression, our art, our rage and we kept it real, and call out the Bullshyt

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Pos is one if the coolest dudes you will every meet breh. That was just a misunderstanding. Treach should have hollered at him personally before doing what he did.

And Qtip caught a sucker punch because of Phife’s verse on “ Jazz “. Tip isn’t a sucker plus he was down with Zulu. Now Bambatty ruined the Zulu name later on but before that they were deep at hip hop events citywide.

Native Tongues was pretty much just a collective of artists who vibed and chilled together in the late 80’s and early 90’s

By the way, Black Sheep And Chi Ali were Native Tongues too breh

and tha beatnuts including kool fash aka AL tariq.
