What Native Tongues' album is the best?

[Ohene]

Stakes is High, number two for me.

 

[MrGovan]

For just members.

For founding members.

Hope I didn't send this thread off on a founding/regular members path.

I like "Be" a little better though, at this moment if I had to pic just one though.

It has to be between Tribe and De La IMO. Low End Theory or De La Soul Is Dead

 

[FukyourFort]

midnight marauders and stakes is high are my favorites

 

[Big Mel]

Mos Def & Common aren't Native Tongues

 

[Big Mel]

Low End Theory
People's Instinctive
3 Feet High
De La is dead
Straight Out The Jungle

 

[AnonymityX1000]

De La Soul Is Dead

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

Hmm. Let me think about this one....

 

[MrGovan]

Mos Def & Common aren't Native Tongues

They are, just not founding members. De La even confirmed they were.

 

[Big Mel]

Bah. That's like including The Beatnuts & Latifah.

The real NT:

Tribe
De La
JBs
Black Sheep
Chi Ali

And I think Monie Love was claiming it.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Low end theory is the popular choice but De La Soul is Dead is one of the most underrated albums ever. It never gets talked about when great albums are mentioned.

Understandable, that's why I listed the founding and add-on's..because peoples take on who is what always varies.

Low End Theory and 3 Feet High and Rising for me....

Midnight Marauders and both Jungle Brothers Albums are all tied in 3rd place

Yeah but c'mon. That's like saying Redman is in wu tang.

Low End Theory
