You had to have talent back then.RefreshingThe energy was so different back then.
I've grown tired of hearin' these dudes whining thru autotune and over production that has no soul at all. Everybody can make the type of music out today.
De La's Stakes is High track might be the most timeless damn near prophetic song ever.

I feel you 100%. Was a few years older but I got my first job that summer/fall, first really started getting knowledge of self, just felt more independent overall. And hip-hop was monumental in my personal development.
This song always reminds me of school about to end for the summer, just like now. "Stakes Is High" and O.C.s "Far From Yours" always give me that last 2 weeks of the school year vibe.
Trugoy got The Source Hip-Hop Quotable of the month for his first verse off this track when it dropped. Which is funny cuz the last line before his verse starts is Pos says "every word I say should be a hip-hop quotable".

The urgency of the beat is what always got to me about this song.
The 'That's why the Native Tongues have officially been reinstated' line had me
....
the first time I heard it.
The next Summer they delivered on that statement with the 'How Ya Want It' remix too

Top 3 De La Song.
Top 10 Dilla beat.
I run this song back so often you'd think it was new.

Started out listening to De La back during me myself and I.
They are some of the ones responsible for the big leather African medallion movement that took place in the late 80s early 90s.
And they came thru the steel cutting steel 94-96 era with flying colors. Respected everywhere. De La Soul always got love in Texas even when alotta other east coast artists didn’t.

Spotify has been lacking with a lot of that type of content lately. I had to get that youtube music trial to find stuff. For some reason or whatever, my brother was trying to find Potholes in my lawn, they don't even have that.
Real facts. and that's part of the problem- everybody is making music that either shouldn't or it leads to them oversaturating the market with the same production and content. This was one of my favorites from them too-
Top five for me.
Beats hard
sample selection superb
impeccable Filter work
Sublime Lyrics
De La Soul have a bunch of timeless,this to me is the best.
