This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90s were.✌🏾😎
I understand perfectly. Movies were fire, music was great, and honestly was honestly a good era. Along with the 70s, 80s, 2000s, and 2010s

They gave birth to a song that will never get old.
Never ever 😀
Man my dog got old and know I CANT see threat SSHOLE I N MY ASSEHOLE
For sure! Amaizing talent.
racerx8410712 hence” Rebirth of the Slick” keep coming back and back

Bass, sax, trumpet and 3 smooth rappers. Won’t ever be another era!!!
AND...an 808 !
and drums
The horns was actually a take from a trumpet player Miles Davis.
Don’t forget the drums homie
90's was like a black American renaissance for music, art, fashion and film.
Uhhh 70s?
@@mela6885 That was the spark.
Yesss!!!!
@@ayonibrahim9985thank you. I was thinking the same thing as the video played.
You absolutely nailed it!!✌🏾
One of the coolest rap songs of that era. They were really cool like that! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Period. Not even just the era.
I was 25 and working two jobs to feed my kids. I listened to this on cassette while delivering pizza to feed my kids. Man, time flies.
Good job being a good Daddy Austin🤘
👏👏👏👏
top my hat off to u
Great father and great music! *Hat off*
Great work. But at that age, I assume you need a career to pay the bills and buy a house. I assume that delivering pizzas doesn't pay that much. If I were you, I would get my CDL and be a truck driver.
That bass line is hypnotizing, and they flow so smoothly on it.
This is why this song will forever be in my top 10 (getting played regularly).
That's from Art Blakey's "Stretching." The bassist on there is Jymie Merritt. I have the original sample, and it sounds much faster, so Butterfly must've slowed it down several beats. He makes it sing on this record.
❤
No frets.
Um hum👍👍👍👍
It’s intelligent, youthful, vibrant, cool and timeless.
Miss this kind of Hip Hop artists with intelligent music.
We need this to dominate the hiphop and rap scene again. Tired of the mediocre trash being promoted.
@@anonnnymousthegreatstop supporting trash rap...support hip hop like this....record companies will listen when they pockets get thin
EMPHATICALLY!!! ❤❤❤
this is an entire era i want back
Word! Preach! I would give anything to go back. Thank God we have RUclips.
yep
You and me both. The new stuff is just a bunch of mumble rappers.
😀👌
I feel the same way!!! I don't know what the f*%# these youngbucks be listening to nowadays... But ask Butter how I zone???
One of the hardest beats in hip hop history
Hardest? This is smooth, not hard.
Sadly people think hard means hard when any person who can think knows it means good sound appealing and nice
It's beautiful.
On my father
👀
That string in the background is craaayzeeee 😭😭😭
Songs like this show there is a difference between being a hip-hop artist and being a rapper.
The marriage of jazz music and Hiphop was Match made in heaven

A masterpiece ❤️😁
My kids love this song and they were all born after 2012. It's just good music, that's all I can say.
Good music is always timeless
Is no one going to mention how incredibly beautiful these three looked?
This song, has lived rent free in my brain for 32 years!! Still loving it!
I still say good-bye to my co-workers every night "We out, we out" in a direct homage to this song. The legacy of Digable Planets- what rap has been and can be- cannot be overstated.
My man! 😊😊 We out!
Everything about this song is smooth as hell
+King Pops Yeah- Check out D.P. Nickel sacks too!
ikr
So true
you can say that again
+Acuravigor47 Check out what?
In 2024, still a classic. Timeless CLassic.
This is one song that is untouchable, unable to sample...the beat, lyrics, both rapping...I never knew back then how legendary this is!!!! Man I miss this era of music!!!!
💯💯💯
hells ya bro
Me Too!!!!!
The NYC gritty sound of dark bass, fly lyrics, multi-ethnic representation, and smooth horns.

@@brendandelaney2718
That's what I was thinking.
Can't believe how long! This song is amazing.
Man I love Mecca’s voice, lol, and her flow! The guys have really unique voices too. That’s one of the things that stands out most about DP. I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time but they made some great real hip hop with broad appeal that really still stands today.
My favorite part of the song
This was sheer poetry. I remember when this came out. It was around the time when poetry slams were popping up everywhere. I got to see these guys do this song at a small venue, and they killed it. They performed this before the song blew up. And once it hit, the radio stations in Jersey kept it in steady rotation. There was nothing else on the radio like it at the time.

@@jesusf0llow3r lol 👍
U better recognize! 😍
NICE , TOP COMMENT MATE 👍
I'm in tears😭. For decades, I had this beat in my head as a child, but I never knew who it was from. BET UNSUNG BROUGHT ME HERE.💯 life mystery solved
Don’t stop there - get the album. Light yrs ahead
I feel you on that, I heard this for the first time on bet mixtape along with slick Rick and all the legends when I was like 10 years old and the beat and the smooth verse stuck in my head, I would jam it like nonstop on my tape deck...I am hearing it now after like 20 years, brings back a lot of solid memories
LOL. I'm still looking for a song I heard in a movie one time.
@@MarioBros-pb8dh Ha...I remember Jeans West
Yo same thing happened to me. But different songs LOL.
When a song is pure perfection.
Digable Planets and the rappers of the 90s werent simply rappers they were poets they were storytellers and they were artists. These rappers today sorely lack
RedBelle Mage Rap is a kind of poetry, which often tells stories, performed by what the music industry calls artists. So, uh, you're basically saying that Digable Planets were rappers.
And there's a shit ton of good rap coming out these days, and the storytelling aspect is really doing a good job of humanising modern culture politics. Kendrick Lamar's new album's as close to a rock opera as a rap album's ever been. The Roots' fairly recent album Undun combines innovative storytelling a-la Memento with an existentialist mindset. Even Kanye's music tells stories. So I don't know what you mean when you say today's rappers are lacking artistry.
Just my .02 +ybrik222 like you have your opinion. I just feel that rappers of 80s and 90s were on a whole another level. The butthurt paragraph was totally unnecessary
Present day mainstream yeah there's lots of truth to it but underground and blacklisted artists are still creative on that 90's & 80's vibe. Look up rhymefest, Tech N9ne, and Lupe Fiasco
RedBelle Mage In what way was my comment "butthurt"? And what would make it necessary? If I agreed with you?
Johnny Brown Oh wow so much reaction ybrik222 and Johnny Brown to a simple opinion. Actually im a child of the nineties so i was raised on rappers like Digable Planets. Dont like my opinion why are you responding to/entertaining it? The grown up thing would to do is to simply ignore it. Its just an opinion. Using words like 'bruh" shows the maturity level here. And by the way, im not a "dude"
Oh the nineties when Hip Hop was so creative and rediscovering jazz roots
Word. A precious time...
Sure wish they'd bring it back
😍
It's still the case man, golden age of hip hop will start again in 2022
The Baby was definitely Lyrical and prolific💞💐 MUCH LOVE TO THE REBIRTH
90s hip hop was a work of art😍
The chick verse is so 🔥 and she rides the beat!!
Right
Lady Bug that woman nice 💯
This is called art and it needs to be preserved and protected at all costs
Yes. Pure art. Need preservation.
Базаришь ветер!
Точно говоришь, говорю с тебе это с другого континента! ;
Это классика! Это история!
I second that motion,I feel blessed to grow up through the 90s and have listened to great music like this growing up. But man it's not looking so hot for music these days, I've watched a steady decline in the quality of all genres. SMH
Nft
At what point between taking your phone out your pocket, pressing a few buttons and accessing the exact content you desire faster than has every been possible - at the cost of watching a five second ad - did you start worrying that were not spending enough on the preservation of art.
Saddens me that they'll never be another era like this again. I'm glad I didn't take it for granted growing up.
Same!
Rappers had stuff to say back then. It's such garbage nowadays. It's all either pornography and bragging, or woke crap.
@@Emper0rH0rde thank the 90s for that. That’s when it all started
I still feel it when I listen 😅
Babies.......They just babies man.........
That beat is fire on point. Where the 90s go
Just let my 6 year old Daughter listen to this. She loves music! She started dancing!
Happy 30th anniversary to Digable Planets' debut album!!
Happy 30th anniversary
Nostalgia at it's finest... This song is one of the main anthems of the 90's along with 93' Til Infinity, They Reminisce Over You, Shook Ones II and dozens more.
Agreed

Tf happened to mobb deep?!
Still "COOL LIKE dat" in 2024!!!😊😊😊
The 90’s was so dope because they always paid homage to past generations of musicians. This was a take on the jazz scene of the 20s and 30’s with a hip hop twist. This is art
Facts back then they paid respect to the old school by sampling and making the beats sound monster
Their lyrics are still futuristic to this day. Still goes over your head.
Exactly, Digable Planets is a group of poets bro they Channel poetry from higher dimensions. 🔥
Still using the beat in commercials

My wife and I just listen to song after 30 years. I’m old like that! My joints hurt like that! Just told my kids to shut up so I could hear this song like that! I’m grumpy like that! It’s 8:30pm and I’m ready for bed like that. I think I need a cup of coffee to make it to the bedroom to go to sleep like that.
Hope y’all doing good with the affairs of today! I’m caring like that! Smiles!

This will never get old 😍🔥🔥!!!
A great track from one of the greatest hip hop albums of it's time (maybe all time). Spent the whole winter listening to Digable Planets, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest while skiing and combined with great snow, the experience was transformative.
Yes, I agree.. nothing, for me, has ever come close to this song.. it really is one of a kind!! Thank you Digable Planets!!
Wow.... when Hip Hop, was Art.
Timeless music.
Yes!
Still is art if you look at it right
This was already a classic the second it came out.
geminikid609 no longer art... just auto tune fake hipsters, only Apple Mac book pro and a weak mindless generation that falls in love with useless lyrics and cheap easy beats.
Love the fedora bro
This is the most New York sounding song of all time

This song was released 31 years ago when I was 28yrs old...I had four kids then. Now I have 6, 13 grands and a chin filled with white hair😁. I heard this sound on an electric car commercial today which happens to be Christmas. Back when this song came out I was definitely "Cool Like That"!😎😎

This song never gets old ❤
She's got the sweetest dopest voice 😍

I grew up within radio station distance of NYC in the 80's and 90's. I feel very fortunate for that. I came across this in real time. Very underrated album, belongs in the top ten of the golden years. Absolutely.
😀
I’m Bumpin it Literally RN 🔥🔥🔥
I have searched high and low for this song for like a decade,I just couldn’t figure it out!
If this song came out today, it would be #1. Forever 🔥
No it wouldn’t don’t 🧢
Today generation too stupid to feel this. So u definitely wrong.
You really think the same people listening to Ed sheeran are going to bump this
Always will be
Unfortunately it wouldn't it would just be underground
A Rebirth of the Rebirth of Slick is severely needed. Please, I can't take not even one more mumble or auto-tune verse!
That bass goes hard. Funky smooth 🎻
...it's probably one of the few times in history,that the Grammys actually rewarded the right song!
underrated comment
The way they incorporated rap and jazz together was a genius move.
It's done more often than you think
It is indeed the same❤

You can unfortunately they were never that big
Even their name suggests the Theme of Unicron devouring planets or the alien and archealogical excavation sites in film. I almost thought it was "digital" planets.. lol
Only 532k hits on this song tells you all you need to know about today’s music fans! 🤦🏾♂️

One of the best jazz hip-hop-LP's of all time!
Thats a definite hip hop classic right there🙌🙌🙌. I was only 3 when it came out back in 93. Be 34 in 4 more weeks. 90s baby in the house🙌🙌. This group were a blend combination of jazz, blues and hip hop at the same time. They got the flavor.. one week from today, i can't wait to see them for the very first time up in my area in Richmond VA. Friday cheers concert series. Its going down!!!!!

Oh I like the way you said that
This song represents one of the reasons why the 90’s was such an amazing decade in music!!! It was so versatile back then
Golden era
The last good decede for music imho.
Others of the 90's it was one of the best for the variety of music from Big Bands to Rap and the emergance of Electronic music. The clothing of the 90s on a whole was dashed ‼️
everything was the best in the 90s, in fact the 90s was the peak of our species
The *90s* is my life. Human civilization was at it's peak in so many ways back then, especially creatively. I'm an artist who creates nothing but *90s hip hop.* You should ✔️ out my songz if can spare some time😁🎧🎤🎶💿 🔥
