Dilated Peoples is an underground hip hop group that resides in California. It has achieved great fame in the underground hip hop community, although it has had little mainstream success in the US, with the exception of the song "This Way," a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West. It reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart with two tracks, "This Way" and "Worst Comes to Worst." Their members include DJ Babu (producer/DJ), Evidence (emcee-producer) and Rakaa Iriscience (emcee).
Its members, DJ Babu from the DJ crew Beat Junkies; Evidence; and Rakaa joined together in 1992 and released "Third Degree" (1997) and "Work the Angles"(1998) on ABB Records, developing a solid fan base in the underground hip hop community. They had previously recorded an album titled "Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry" that was never released (1995), although many fans still have it on bootlegged tapes. The group eventually signed with Capitol Records and released The Platform (2000) to more critical acclaim. Its second set, Expansion Team, was released in 2001 led by The Alchemist-produced "Worst Comes to Worst," which utilized a vocal sample from Mobb Deep's "Survival of the Fittest" and a musical sample from William Bell's "I Forgot to be Your Lover." The group's third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart. In addition to the Kanye West-produced single "This Way," it featured the single "Who's Who?" which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart. Its latest album, 20/20, was released in 2006; the debut single, "Back Again", was featured on the Fight Night Round 3 soundtrack. This is the third EA Games Soundtrack on which the group has been featured. "Back Again" is also featured on Sony's MLB 06: The Show. 20/20 was the group's "farewell" album on Capitol Records, ending an increasingly frustrating four album contract, which restricted the group's solo careers.
Dilated Peoples are affiliated with fellow West Coast hip hop group tha Alkaholiks. The Liks appear on The Platform on the track "Right On" and Expansion Team on "Heavy Rotation." The group also collaborated frequently with west coast emcees Defari and Amad Jamal (an Urban Umpires member) and helped to launch their careers. Defari made one appearance on each Dilated Peoples' album: "Ear Drums Pop (Remix)" on The Platform; "Defari Interlude" on Expansion Team; "Closed Session" on Neighborhood Watch; and "Olde English" on 20/20. Dilated Peoples also made multiple appearances on Defari's album Odds & Evens. Another Dilated associate is their long-time producer, the Alchemist, who produced five songs on The Platform, three songs on Expansion Team, four songs on Neighborhood Watch, and two songs on 20/20. Dilated Peoples was featured on a song on the Alchemists' 1st Infantry. Rakaa also made a guest appearance on the song "Trance Fat" on Looptroop's new album, Good Things.
It is also reported they are supporters of the 9/11 Truth Movement, citing this in a remix of "Mr. Slow Flow" proclaiming "No plane ever hit Trade Center 7."

"2020, confusing no doubt".....
Was thinking the same, big up
@@RoarOfJahLion lmfao yeah that verse FINALLY hit me this year hahaha how appropriate
He called it lol
They planned it!
Yes fam
Dilated Peoples are hands down the most underrated group in hip hop history
Them or Jurassic 5
Because Eminem and AftaMath stepped on them because of Everlast....just ask Madchild. Inhibited their ability to Crossover...shoutout EPMD.
You are right, their music is so awesome yet not hyped enough by people
This beat is mad fresh. This was real hip hop.
This was hip-hop period, what we have now, is something else entirely...
@@spaceboy2095 ye hip hop is now trapped in a basement like a child that gets raped by secret networks that pray to satan or somewthing else insane ... :(
ALCHEMIST KILLED IT 🔥🔥
The Alchemist is a mad and severely underated beat maker. Nuff respect from Nigeria🇳🇬 It's September 2022 and still lyrically, the dilated peoples can never be annihilated....and B-Real spotted
Not a single Dilated Peoples Track sounds "old" or dusty... With other Artists, Crews & Groups like ATCQ, The Liks, Defari, J5, Gang Starr, Mobb Deep, DITC, PUTS and many others, they represent HipHop's finest. Intelligent, conscious lyrics spitted on dope instrumentals served by some of the best DJs and Beatmakers.
Time is one of, when not the hardest judge. If an Artist's MuZiK still sounds fresh 10, 20, 30 years later, if his tracks still break your HipHop head, then it's more than a classic... It's History!!! Support Underground & Independent MuZiK and don't forget your Local Artists!!! #Peace
Babu nailed the cuts on this one! Actually, EVERBODY nailed EVERYTHING on this one!!!
I nailed my girlfriend with this one on the background too
DP still sounds hella fresh in 2024 🔥
This is what you call real hip hop. One of the best rap joints ever.
This is Beautiful music. Pure Hip-Hop
might be the best hip hop track of all times..
💎
I also think the same
Still relevant
Probably one of the most insane beat ever seen. And the flow of Rakka man ....
ALC Genius
I'm an Evidence guy, myself
ALC went in when he produced this beat damn.... Miss this era of hip hop.
agree!!!!!!
amen bro.
You said it!
IMO. This is like the best beat ever made
Music was so so good when hip hop was still alive
Man, it's alive
Rap is alive, Hip Hop has died a long time ago
oh man you're so wrong , check out Dilated People, Madvillain just for example and then come back and tell me if you still think that hip-hop is dead
Hip-Hop Wasn't dead It was learning spanish.
ahahh, man maybe it's right, i don't know spanish hip-hop but of course the american one isn't dead
I think I really didn't understand how great this was back in a day.. I was in my early teenage years when this dropped,I liked it back then but now I truly appreciate it.🔥🔥🔥🔥
whos here in 2024
THE PLATFORM🖖
JE LE SAVAIS
Long live to 90's classic hip hop.
This is 2000
I haven’t heard this in over 20 years! Still 🔥!
Two Thousand Twenty... Confusing no doubt! Wow 20 years later and right on the money haha

me, i am looking for the sample
@@kingjustification check out the website called whosampled.com Theres 4 samples he used on this track
I listen to this many times could nail the lyrics.
ouço constantemente!
Im listening
The instrumental is so sick. Babu is an underrated Dj. I discovered this group 1 year ago and now it's one of my favorites.
Dilated Peoples is other level. It's one of the hip hop groups with best lyrics and instrumental beat.
Legendary! A true classic, brings me back to high school days in early 2000s..one of them tracks that made me a hip hop head for life
This beat is insane! 🔥🔥🔥
I'll never forget going to Lupo's in Providence, fall 2000, to see MC Supernatural, The Beat Junkies, Dialated Peoples, and Jurassic 5. One of the greatest shows ever!! I was even able to meet and have my J5 tshirt signed by every member of Jurassic, (except NuMark) and also Rakka Iriscience after the show. Such a good dude. Very humble. I went partially deaf in my left ear from that show.... It was worth it!!😁
That 2020 line aged well
One the best hip hop beats imo
Facts
Still here in to 2022
One of best songs of all time
always damn dope, Hip-Hop certified!
I remember when this came out. I love it now like a liked it then
2020 confusing no doubt
Never, were beats made like this anymore,! ....it was just that time, droppin science and theories, at that tiiime!, The Platform. Legendary!😎 Alc and you can feel that's EV on these Beats too!😊👍
Word
Real Hip-Hop Straight out the west coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are too many underrated hip hop groups like ATCQ, The Roots, N2DEEP, Dilated Peoples, Souls of Mischief, Sticky Fingaz, Public Enemy, Camp Lo, Heavy D, Pharcyde, Bomfunk Mc's, Moob Deep, Lost Boyz, etc. This was real music and it generated good vibrations
If you consider you like or love Hip-Hop, if you practise Hip-Hop and consider you ARE alive,
HIP - HOP is ALIVE !
Peace
one of best track's in hip-hop history !!!
2020 confusing no doubt ... wow evidence!
seeing them live at warped tour in like 99 or 00 and this whole album is one of the albums that turned me onto fresh underground hip hop.
I played this song so much, my wife disowned me for two months.
Pure HIP HOP ! Rare like hair on my head !
Timeless
WTF !!!! Awesome.......brilliant !!!!
“Never catch me preaching what I’m not practicing”
For me one of the best hip hop tracks ever! Hip hop head since 89
Every Song on this Album ist dope...one of the best ever 😍
2021 STILLLLL
ALL these years of enjoying Dilated Peoples and in I've NEVER knew it was a video for this!
New generation New flavor, people may think it lost the flavor but it can never really lose that deep flavor, just harder to find
Great beat by dilated peoples
I always felt Babu should scratch Ev saying "I'll be 60 in my prime" on a track
shout out to The Hip Hop Show for introducing me to the underground. this right here changed my way of thinking!
I used to love that show. It helped introduce me to a lot of cool underground dudes who I still listen to.
Just a thank you to Dilated for being you, respect. Some of the best to ever do it come on people how do you not hear this. Wake up people you won't understand how ridiculous these Artists are
Τι να πεις...μου έχουν προσφέρει ένα από τα καλύτερα lives που έχω βρεθεί.... Στο fuzz το 2012... Έχω πάει σε άπειρα πάρα πολλών καλλιτεχνών αλλά σαν και αυτό ήταν λίγα... Όποιος ήταν εκεί θα νιωσει... Only respect
I'll be sixty in my prime. That's about the song 🎶🎤
One of the best Hip hop Songs ever made
Good memories to good music... life's soundtrack....
My childhood right there...
“2020? Confusing no doubt” I came here just for this line
Dope song. Pure hip hop.
Been looking for this for a LONG time
Dope lyrics to a dope beats = Classic!!!

The first time I heard this song it was on the tv monitor at Gadzooks in the mall while I was shopping for halter tops.
That is the 90-ist sentence I've ever written in my life...

Yooooo I spot Zack de la Rocha at 3:28 !
Evidence from Dilated Peoples dropped some major wisdom in the books *HOW TO RAP* & the second part, *HOW TO RAP 2*.
This is a comment from Ev in the books-
"If I like a take I did and I’m like, “Damn, the emotion was
there but the pocket wasn’t,” then I’ll just go in and move
one part a little bit here and keep the take, because I like the
way I did it. It’s more about emotion than it is anything else."
HOW TO RAP 1 & 2
.got both books
Can someone explain why this beat is so fucking amazing???
Babs and Alchemist dude, their kick fucking asses.
Ask Babu.
it's like Mozart bro
One of my favorite beats of all time. So legendary and perfect. 100 out of 100.
It's like evidence predicted the future yo.. Quote Evidence >>> "2020 confusing no doubt"..
real hip-hop music
Best Hip-Hop video and song, ever.
Dilated people's Forever
College time tune, love it still as freah.❤

in an era where hustle, pimping, drugs and money we're the main topics of any high-profile hiphop-artist this gave me hope that not all is lost
Perfect 💪🏻👌🏻✌🏻

They knew something about 2020 but I doubt they predicted this
