unpopular opinion but De La Soul is the epitome of boring

[Marc Spector]

Stakes is high was their only real “hater” album and that was as only a song or two…

i dunno about that brah. DLS is Dead is like 70 minutes of them complaining that every thinks theyre hippies and p*ssy ass nikkas. And they randomly shyt on House Music just hating!

funny thing is kicked out the house actually had decent production and couldve been a real hit but nooooooo they had to be REAL MCs !

I never been a fan of the Nerdy/holier than thou/non aggressive, anti street/back pack rap

They all have songs that I like, but overall I couldn’t get into that shyt

I’m usually that way too but Tribe and De La are my exceptions

 

[Budda]

No De La Soul no OutKast, musically they were far ahead of many of their peers at the time

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Who is doing Dave's verses for their live show now?

I know the crowd did his parts at the Newport Jazz Festival

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Subs.

EDIT:

I don't understand calling them haters when damn near everything they said came true. "Stakes Is High" alone is eerily accurate.

Fred.

fukkin facts!

Are those groups even regularly preaching the shyt you said tho???

Little Brother
Binary Star
Camp Lo

None of these guys are doing anything extra but speaking life thru they rap

Some could say otherwise to what you are speaking of...and act like the gangsta groups are more holier than thou nowadays...

Never thought about them like that but I’d have to agree. Way tf back in like 03-04, I was a writer for a hip hop magazine some people in my college started up and one of my first assignments was to try to interview Mos Def or Talib before a show. Had backstage passes so all I had to do was approach them. Me and my dog ended up talking to one of them De La nikkas backstage for like 30 minutes before Mos showed up. The De La dude gave me the alley oop, not only introducing me to Mos but also asking him to do a quick interview with me. Mos said no thanks but did take pictures with us and also let us rock out with him onstage during his set. He just said that he wasn’t in the mood to do an interview and I wasn’t mad at it.

I said all that to say this, that night and to this day, I have no idea which member of De La it was and I can’t even think of the name of even one song without checking my phone. Was a good dude tho, hope he isn’t the one that died.

And you say youre a hip hop journalist? cant even respect de la soul enough learn about them. Thats your job, fool.

Camp Lo doesn't fit in that category at all.

I never saw de la as some super advanced group lyrically or beat wise but they were always high level enjoyable. Boring? Eh. Theres a lot more boring groups. I always thought they were better than tribe as a whole.

I put them in same category as an outkast. Still top 5/10 imo.

 

[CrimsonTider]

I tried they albums because hip hop said so

Them nikkas trash ass can.

Wtf is that 3 ft ralbum
One of the worst albums I ever heard and I listen to what y’all call trash

Rap nerds will have you listen to all type of bullshyt
