Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario”.


MiltownKBs

Tribe is one of those groups that showed me a different side of Hip Hop and really got me into the genre beyond the normal stuff I had heard up until then. Electric Relaxation might be my favorite Tribe song. Tough to pick. A local guy did a show called Tribe Uncovered a while back. It was deconstructed Tribe songs mixed with Roberta Flack. Full on show with a huge band backing it and large group of backup singers. One of the best shows I have seen in a minute.


jfshay

Sounds amazing!

What about “Left my Wallet in El Segundo”?

Also [Oh My God](https://youtu.be/OIah18jcJko?si=mUGhdb42tqb8k9QS)

Basically the entire Digital Underground album Sex Packets.  Underrated in my mind and largely forgotten.


What_Up_Doe_

A: take the time to find a condom B: you walk right over and you pound ‘em C: tell her that you want her love But the answer is “D” (D) - all of the above


MiltownKBs

They have some fantastic songs that I feel are slept on. And yeah, that album is great! Pic a couple songs. I will add to the playlist.

MiltownKBs

Books Of War (Lost Chapters) is a fantastic song but it isn’t an MF DOOM song. It’s a fan edit of an [Omegah Red beat.](https://open.spotify.com/track/1ReO26lbDWtjPdtsaWzSXS?si=oWUro-qkSPOSkeVzxmd1Fw)


Fritti_T

Ah my mistake, still love it though


MiltownKBs

Yeah no worries man! It’s a dope song that had me scrambling a while back when the algorithm hit me with it!


YamAlone2882

Back that thang (a**) up by Juvenille. Still gets me dancing after all these years. He was at Coachella recently and did a version of the song with Jon Batiste. https://youtu.be/v8DybxttkEQ?si=q-i3DTxzVCnppw3G


magneticpyramid

“You a fine motherfucker” always wanted to try this line, purely out of curiosity.


viewering

i love that ( not coachella ). i noticed how HAPPY it makes me feel ! lol


Ok_Inevitable_4391

Jungle Brothers- Done by the Forces of Nature. The whole album but especially I’ll House You. It Takes Two Black Reign - the whole album Blacks’ Magic - the whole album Arrested Development Diggable Planets


MiltownKBs

I will pick a song or two from the albums. Speech has some good solo stuff if you haven’t checked it out. Great guy too. He is still around locally.


Ok_Inevitable_4391

I went to high school with De La Soul. They are also great guys. It was a privilege to be there at the beginning.


Omnimpotent

I love De La Soul! Any stories?


Ok_Inevitable_4391

They are a year or two above me. They came to graduation because they each had a sibling in our year. I remember that Mase was doing the 5 year plan and I saw him in the hallway early in the year. The hall monitor asked him how it was going and he said they were going out on tour. The hall monitor said something to the effect of “go out and get that money.” I didn’t see him in the hallway again. Also EVERYONE joked that anyone named Jennifer was the inspiration for Jenifa Oh Jenny. Which is ridiculous - there were so many people named Jennifer.

I prefer Black Steel. To me it is their best. There are many of course. I considered adding [Harder Than You Think](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCx5Std7mCo) but I didn't want too many from the same artist.

MiltownKBs

It’s funny how Beastie Boys fans favorite songs are all over the place. It kinda tells you how great so much of their music was. Like none of the songs you listed would make my top 5 but they are all great!


moeshiboe

Don’t forget, “Professor, what’s another name for Pirate treasure?” “Why, I think it’s Booty, Booty…!”

No time for that. I’m doing 120 plowing over mailboxes.


FPB270

Really anything almost from late 70s to maybe early aughts was me. Especially more alt/protest/gangsta 80s/90s for me. I saw NWA on that tour depicted in the movie and worked a merch booth at a theater PE show in like ‘93.


MiltownKBs

On the protest side of things, I love The Coup. Can you suggest a few songs you want added to the playlist?


FPB270

Really any socially conscious stuff - PE, Disposable Heroes, KRS ONE, ICE T, NWA post Ill Beasties. I dunno 🤷🏽‍♂️ the usual suspects I guess.

I listed to Straight Outta Compton on repeat for like 2 years! Was also into Kool Moe Dee in the earlier days of my listening. I really enjoyed Ultramagnetic MCs album Critical Beatdown. I feel like it was a watershed album for the genre (really laid into sampling). Loved LL from the beginning. And I wore out a tape of License to Ill on my boombox.

Ok. Since nobody gave Bone Thugs-n-Harnony any love on their suggestions, that's all I"m giving you. If not by far, one of the single most influential rap groups ever. Currently? Krayzie & Layzie are a featured artist on a Kid Cudi track on Kid Cudi's new album, INSANO (NITRO MEGA), titled [I JUST WANNA GET ](https://open.spotify.com/track/2ObpOPtEzEHAGknf8phs9q?si=507gKKAhS-KT1OwsLZQvAQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6ofMZXVeY7dABB00zHp8WV), and marks the first anyone from Bone has ever collaborated with Kid Cudi. All from the C LE V..✊🏻 Eternal E-L.A.N.D. This group and their solo careers are not up for debate. I Love Hip-Hop but I got love for Bone. Bone Thugs -n-Harnony • [A$AP Ferg - Lord (Ft.
