ITT: Old school hip hop
Decided to check this out after seeing De La Soul be mentioned multiple times on the god awful Rolling Stones' top 200 hip hop records list and I've gotta say, I haven't had this much fun listening to music in a long time.

Yeah, this shit is insane. I was getting bored of hip hop/rap for a bit, but this may have reignited the love.

yep that's something you could get away with in the late 80s and just stack samples for insane production. Though 3 feet high is nothing in comparison to paul's boutique

old school hip hop is always fun. it's danceable, self reflecting and most of it is positive. rap is garbage now because everyone wants to be a thug.

Wasn't New School Hip Hop once upon a time a thing that started in the early 80s with LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and Run DMC? Meaning De La Soul and stuff counted as New School not Old School. How come everyone these days counts all hip hop before like the year 2000 as old school?

De La Soul are fucking fantastic (esp Buhloome Mindstate) and what’s happened to them is one of the saddest stories in music. Essentially Nobody knows them anymore because they have no rights to their music due to a technicality with the sample clearance which allwed them to sell physical records but doesn’t give them the rights to their own music, so it’s unavailable on streaming and nobody knows about this group or how good they were.
Literally a Tribe Called Quest or Pete Rock and CL Smooth level quality group slipped through the cracks and completely forgotten. No Kanye or Kendrick collabs, no tv show appearances, no shoutouts, nothing. It must have cost them millions of dollars in lost revenue by now. They got absolutely fucked
