AD Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have a lot of favourites.... My favourite at moment has got to be this one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookycanooky Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Let you backbone slide (this isn't the right picture but you get the idea) On a more serious note, this album kicks much ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead you stopped listenng too soon how about this gem from the headiest of the hiphoppers: I didn't stop listening too soon. I've got every album they've put out, and while Stakes Is High is a much better album than Buhloone Mind State, I feel it can't hold anything up to their frist two records. Besides, my list is obviously far from complete, but I didn't want to take up 4 or 5 more pages (plus I had to catch my bus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatpatguy Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I don't have the Mos Def/Talib Kweli record. I sorta fell out of hip hop for a while and have been just getting back into in the past couple of years.. digging through the underground (screw that Nelly crap). I'll check it out.and yes.. De La Soul = kick ass! (regardless of the album, cuz even their worst is better than a lot of other records out there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
