Respect .... Need to introduced her to Some More Digable Planets, Some Tribe Called Quest, Some De La Soul , Some Arrested Development & Some Pharcyde ....
“We be to rap like key be to lock” Dang. Hip hop just hit different back then. We have a couple lyricists now like Cole and Krit but nothing like the 90s
Whats make this song even crazier lyrically is that each verse is rhymed from a different point of view. 1st verse is in 1st person point of view he uses the pronouns ( i, me, and etc) to start each bar, 2nd verse is in 2nd person point of view so she starts each bar with " you" and 3rd verse is 3rd person point of view so each bar starts the pronouns they, he, she etc.
The Instrumental That Was Sampled In This Rap Song Is A Jazz Compositions From Blue Note Record Titled "Stretching" By Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers.
Dad, you and I are the same era. I just got done with one of your Tribe reactions. So great to see this in the mix. They are genius and always will be my 90's summer Brooklyn rooftop cookout vibe.
Yooo I doubt y’all will see this or listen but the main rapper (or at least first verse) in this group is name Butterfly, and he has a modem group called Shabazz Palaces, they’re album Black Up from 2011 is one of the most unique albums I’ve heard in hip hop ever I’ve listened to it countless times
Remember when sold yer boy was the worst thing you ever heard to the point KRS-1 felt the need to give him the come to Jesus speech? I bet his corny ass would run roughshod on these Mouth full of verbal diarrhea drooling MC’s**** of today. Let that marinate, where are we all going to be musically in 20 years? God I hope this changes. Love how it took your daughter like half of a verse to be like alright I’m diggin this, but when ladybug grabbed the mic(I would still take her out to a restaurant I can’t afford, she still looks good and I’ve never seen a woman pull off the short hair like she did, not even Halle “the Darker the” Berry)and started doing her thing, your daughter had to sit on her hands to keep herself from waving in the air like she just doesn’t care. You’ve taught her well, my daughter is 3 I’m trying to start her off early with lyrics that have power and emotion behind it and not just “sheeeeyyyiiiit I guess I could spend the next 10 minutes and probably write this alleged album out so my label will quit sweatin me, not like it matters though I’ll be gone just as fast as I showed up to this game trying to sell my chains and rims back.” And for the record, you can pretty much spin the rebirth of slick wherever you are and people will be appreciative. Be it parties, lounging, the library, church, grandmas house, as long as you sit on the plastic, the people’s court, doesn’t matter. I don’t know anybody that didn’t like that track regardless of what they listened to. Legend: *****in this case MC stands for Might be Contagious And if you haven’t yet, arrested development would be a solid next step. Can’t go wrong with Tennessee or Mr Wendell
I dunno why this band didn't do more... They transcended all genre's. We used to play them in indie clubs in the middle of an acid house set and you didn't even skip a beat. This white boy absolutely loved the digable planets
Thank you Dad!!! This came out when I was 18; it won a Grammy in 1993. First time I ever saw this video (back when, you know, MTV and VH1 still actually played videos) I immediately had to go buy this album. This was so far ahead of its time- it sounds fresh in 2020.
MAN I'm with pop's on this! I'm a West Coast Kid, he's an Wast Coast kid, we could connect on music like this at a weekend BBQ and just shoot da shit. It was like that in the 90's. Hip Hop was so different then, I wish this younger generation could experience that.
I TOTALLY had this album. The WHOLE thing was fire!!!! We used to just post up on the porch with the boom box and listen to this. And also, this most definitely used to get played at parties.
I made my friend watch the first season of The Get Down and he's slowly been on a roller coaster of discovering Hip Hop, creeping on it's way into the 90's. It might be a good way for anyone to learn where it originated from. Thanks to the events in the show kids nowadays can shit on pavement that was laid...I mean respect the foundation that was laid for Hip Hop.
LOVE this song! They were so ahead of their time. This song won a Grammy and was nominated for a lot of other awards in 1993 when it came out- same year I graduated from high school.
I relocated from Germany in the early 90's to NYC (30 years ago now) and my Jamaican wife were doing the club scene in NYC, e.g. Nell's, Webster Hall, SoB's, you name it... the Jazz clubs in Harlem, etc. Digable Planets' "Cool Like That" is to this day representing to me the coolest time of NYC in the 90's! I feel blessed to have been there, at that time! "Rebirth of Slick" that's NYC in the 90's to me!
First off bro love u and your daughter’s relationship and u were ON POINT with the hip hop knowledge bcuz we DID have balance in hip hop back in the day, we went always LIT!! Lol great video guys!
This is the best song to come out of 1991 and still holds up today. Me and my man used to jam to this, now our kids are grown. And daughter goes to SF and Oakland to see these guys live. Remember A Tribe Called Quest, “Check The Rhime”?
Back in the 90's, they used to have Poetry Slams where people would gather and recite and rap classy poetry... listening to Disable Planets made me remember that....
This was an instant classic and there 1st two albums are just incredible and have never left rotation in my Playlists. There was digable, Busta, onyx, the Roots.. all different flavors. Remeber that blue Roots album My Mellow my Man..
Oh hell yeah, back when I was snowboarding semi pro this was my song. I'ld slide through fit right into the groove forget about the competition, and come out on top.
I had this CD back in (1987) . This is Their very first CD. I had it in my high school years. Doodle bugs, Butterfly, and Mecca. I still play this CD and The second CD " Blow out comb " with videoes.📻🎧🎤🎚️🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶
"We be to rap, like key be to lock."
*word.*

Respect .... Need to introduced her to Some More Digable Planets, Some Tribe Called Quest, Some De La Soul , Some Arrested Development & Some Pharcyde ....

the "OTHER" musiQ.. coin phrased by the commercial heads.
Black Star - “Definition “
Saul Williams- “List of Demands”
Queen Latifah- “U N I T Y”
The list could get lonnnnnng
Tell em………
“We be to rap like key be to lock” Dang. Hip hop just hit different back then. We have a couple lyricists now like Cole and Krit but nothing like the 90s
This is poetry and jazz fusion not just hip hop
That moment when Ms. Mecca drops in and she stops thinking on it, it washes over her for a second and you can see it click. 💜
Fun fact for the girl: yeah this record was huge at the time matter of fact it won a Grammy so u Kno it was huge
Actually, it was a Hip-Hop party joint in NY. They went alongside Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Tribe CQ & De La Soul.
This song was ahead of its time!!
Nah. It was right on time. That’s what a lot of us were on back then.
yeah
@@agapereign exactly a song like that wouldn’t be made today

Man solid info right here thank you for that good looking out.
Good looks
Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to know that!
@joshua thank you so much now to get it on vinyl to rock at the crib
THE 90's!!!!!!!!! God i miss this era.
One of my favorite tracks from back in the day, that bass line was absolute FIRE. Thanks for being cool like dat, and reacting to this.
Did you catch the lyrics?
Yeah man! Digable Planets to this day still one of my all time favorites. Both albums were fire, from start to finish.
With this song it’s the HORNS that do it for me🔥📯
Miss the 90s
Jazz samples were the best back in the 90s!
React to pharcyde passin me by
Pretty much anything by them
Watch out for “ Leeeeee”
I love when he gave a shoutout to the 5% Nation. “Me I got crew kids, seven & a crescent.” Song was 🔥.
90's hip-hop was definitely the most diverse era, so many different flows, beats, genres.
Edit: Dad is definitely "cool like that"
Music overall from the 80's was the most diverse of all time
That whole album is a work of art.
Dad, you and I are the same era. I just got done with one of your Tribe reactions. So great to see this in the mix. They are genius and always will be my 90's summer Brooklyn rooftop cookout vibe.
2:45 "of course you didnt" lmao
You are so right about the balance, it was not always about the party.
Yooo I doubt y’all will see this or listen but the main rapper (or at least first verse) in this group is name Butterfly, and he has a modem group called Shabazz Palaces, they’re album Black Up from 2011 is one of the most unique albums I’ve heard in hip hop ever I’ve listened to it countless times
Ahhhh man I never click so fast my top 5 favorite group of all time
Remember when the radio was a thing?
Yes!!! Love the throwbacks. Hip Hop. Man miss these days. Stick with your Pops Girl he is showing you some good Jams. :)
I love this. The bond between father and daughter through great music. I'm here for this. Let's go, coach.
Man I love it when yall do these videos I miss this music so much wish it was still this way. The beat on the first one brought back so many memories
HAVE HER LISTEN TO THE “BLOWOUT COMB”.
Classic album. Literally not a bad record on it.
Dumb rappers leads to naive listeners

One of my favorite song had me hooked since the movie freedom writers ...it's lit
Daaaamn I had a long time without hearing this. I love your throwbacks
That’s it dad. Educate gen z. My heart dropped when I said ATCQ is my favorite hip hop group and my friend said who’s ACTQ.
Tell that girl again daddy. I used to love chilling to them!
This song is FIRE
We blast this in the car on long road trips and now it’s just my travel jam 😂😂
"Why everything gotta be dancin' all the time"
*FACTS DAD, facts*
This CLASSIC got a lot of nightclub spins.
MAN I'm with pop's on this! I'm a West Coast Kid, he's an Wast Coast kid, we could connect on music like this at a weekend BBQ and just shoot da shit. It was like that in the 90's. Hip Hop was so different then, I wish this younger generation could experience that.
Wow I love this!!! This is a great father/ daughter connection!! Her reaction to our song really made me smile 😊 great job dad 💯🙌🏾
React to One Love or It Ain’t Hard to Tell by Nas...
You gotta show Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang.

They definitely were a product of their time.
90s Hip Hop is the best Hip Hop. If you disagree we are enemies.
Your dad has great taste in music. All his throwbacks be lit! 🙌🏾

First off bro love u and your daughter’s relationship and u were ON POINT with the hip hop knowledge bcuz we DID have balance in hip hop back in the day, we went always LIT!! Lol great video guys!
I was in college when this album dropped. It was in continuous rotation.
Respect brother! This is just too beautiful ❤️
This is the best song to come out of 1991 and still holds up today. Me and my man used to jam to this, now our kids are grown. And daughter goes to SF and Oakland to see these guys live. Remember A Tribe Called Quest, “Check The Rhime”?
Bruh, we definitely played this song at parties!!
Thanks dad and daughter! This was the jam in the 90’s.
That song is timeless 💯
The brass comes in so well in this song. Gotta love that boom bap with real instrumentals
Back in the 90's, they used to have Poetry Slams where people would gather and recite and rap classy poetry... listening to Disable Planets made me remember that....
You had to live it, to know bout it!
You're bringing me back memories. That's when Hip-Hop was Hip-Hop.
They played this at the teen dance club back in the day..there is still a groove to dance to...pop n lock flow
Teach these youngstas. I keep telling them about our era. I was born 5-11-1971. Our era was sick !!!! Mad Crazy !!!!!
Yep dad is right we had music for all moods, and times.
Digable Planets one of my all time favs.
Bro really like how you drop the knowledge. That era was about lyrics. Still living NYC hip hop.👍🏽
They got a Grammy for that shit too
Digable planets is my favorite hip hop group
All true. I agree with everything Dad is saying. You need all the flavors in hiphop. The 90s got that down hard.
You should do:
Nas - 2nd Childhood
A Tribe Called Quest - The Chase, Part II
Adorable! Love this keep it up.
Absolutely one of my favorite 90s hip hop groups...
We school our young on hip hop history and we need to be easy with the N word usage its not a good word...Respect keep it goin...
Listen to pops lil girl
Digable planets were and are so underated!!!!! I loved them!
I love y'alls videos so much💙
This was an instant classic and there 1st two albums are just incredible and have never left rotation in my Playlists.
There was digable, Busta, onyx, the Roots.. all different flavors. Remeber that blue Roots album My Mellow my Man..
Oh hell yeah, back when I was snowboarding semi pro this was my song. I'ld slide through fit right into the groove forget about the competition, and come out on top.
One of My Alltime Favorite Hip Hop Groups Jazz n Rap it gets No Better.
FIRST CONCERT I WENT AND SADE!
As a jazz fan, this was the song that turned me on to hip hop.
Thank you for explaining the "balance" in Hip-Hop back then. Well-said!
Digable Planets so ahead of their time
You should explain to your daughter that Cleopatra Jones was a blaxploitation film from 1973.
3:06 Pops is really a NY 🥷🏼 he said
“Ya dig?!” 🔥❤️🔥
90's hip hop is where it's at. The sound, the culture, the vibe. I do not know what happened to hip hop along the way.
I hate how her dad never likes the new hip hop, but when his daughter reacts to classic, you never see her hating
Hit her with Us3 and Arrested Development! Love this!
I was just listenin 2 this in skool yesterday😂😂😂😂
I know I'm late this the party, but yes, we played this at parties. Not every song has to be what you might consider a "party" song. This song was fly
Make him react to MF DOOM...
I had this CD back in (1987) . This is Their very first CD. I had it in my high school years. Doodle bugs, Butterfly, and Mecca.
I still play this CD and The second CD " Blow out comb " with videoes.📻🎧🎤🎚️🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶
You actually could dance to it though. I know i did. Was lit back in college.
