Native Tongues Edition

Thanks DJ Sphere for the inspiration to put this one together...

Taking it to the late 80's/early 90's with this entry. This is one of the moments in Hip Hop where afrocentricity lived, where abstract, open minded lyricism flourished over jazz influenced beats! This is when Hip Hop was fun!

The Native Tongues included:
A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
Jungle Brothers
Queen Latifah
Monie Love
Leaders of the New School


Buddy - When I was younger, I had no clue what the hell buddy was, eventually I figured it out...lol, here's the whole crew in Buddy




"The Queen is hyped up...L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command!"




Taking it to the Queens side - This one is from one of my favorite ATCQ's albums, Midnight Maurauders. Electric Relaxation...I remember listening to this song in 7th grade on a school trip on my walkman...lol good times.






De La to the Soul - Me, Myself & I




Wow, Busta still dresses like a wierdo as he does in the Sobb Story - Leaders of the New School video



I would have normally put up Monie in the Middle, but I like the vibe of this one, It's A Shame - Monie Love.




Here we go yo, Here we go yo...

Scenario - A Tribe Called Quest featuring Leaders of the New School
