What happened to Hip Hop was a direct reflection of everything that was going on in America: lawlessness from the White House to the ‘Hood. They just packaged the shit in CDs with beats and rhymes…
@@digitalScribr Ok.... *but even if you want to go with that philosophy,* that genre of HIP-HOP took over and was used against us! The BLACK experience isn't just about pure poverty, with nothin else of significance to rap about. Plus... not everyone was gang banging & drug sellin in the 90's & 80's, like America was some crime ridden WASTE LAND. The real issue.... Street Life Hip-Hop became OVER GLAMORIZED and like Dre said himself "Makes a gang of snaps!"
Stakes Is High is like the Musicians favorite De La Soul Album, because when that came out it inspired a whole new movement in Rappers, and Producers into going in an alternative direction with their art form without being lame, and to speak out against the B.S. in the communities and how it's glorified in the hip hop world.
culturefreedom89 oh they did haha a lot!!! of NY artist were like that. That was the difference on the West we name names and a lot of times thats the reason the outcome was the way it was. Biggie was the god of sneak dissin him and Jay
That "Watch Ya Mouth" is the most underrated diss song ever. I heard it was suppose to be on Makaveli album. I wish it would have made it on album. People need to go hear that song.... One of the best diss tracks ever.
"De La got a problem with this hard shit. Ever since Me, Myself, and I, ya'll been garbage. (You know I'm telling the truth.) I'ma keep it real, show you how it feels to ride! You niggas went 3 feet and stopped rising. (I ain't seen shit!)"
I appreciate your recognition of "Stakes is High". Even though the love for "3 Feet high and Rising" has a lot of justice both in the street and the mainstream. But De La is so off the charts creative I will admit there are tracks I simply don't like and one's I can't live without. As a life long De La fan I kept finding myself gravitating to Stakes. I think Stakes hit the underground harder than any of their previous albums. I think their flow was more perfected by then. The one mistake I think too many people make is everyone gravitates to almost everyone's 1st album as "the one" but I think that is a massive discredit to the artists. True there is a nostalgia for that 1st time you ever hear something new and great but artists evolve. Especially the ones that are true artists and not just riding on their 1st hit track. No one of this planet call say De La rode anything. They always kept workin and they always have something fresh and original. Someone asked me if I watched the American music awards earlier this year... My response was "I'm sick of half ass award shows, sick of name brand clothes."
Now I'm not for the violence in hip hop, but I liked that rappers would actually confront the artist if they have a problem. Today, rappers take to twitter.
People live longer that way. It's like the old man in Friday said, everybody's afraid to take an ass whippin'. Now they have twitter so they can do it from afar.
@Adrian Flores people forgot or dont know that he was only in his early 20s...plus he felt like people were always going after him. Law enforcement has harassed him and his family since he was born. Later on, it was his people (African American men) that robbed him and shot 5 times. At that point, he didn't know who to trust. So there are alot reasons. A lot people and uninformed "fans" just see Pac and think of hit em up and deathrow...he was much more that that...
Pretty prophetic. Luckily De La was smart enough not to hang with crews likely to get into gunfights. They're still around and have plenty of love and respect. I think they made the right decision.
De La Soul meant every diss they threw out. I don’t think they would look for beef with any particular artist but the shots were aimed at the state of hip hop overall. I’m only mad that they didn’t stand on it when confronted.
You had your intuitions and perceptions but you based it on real evidence. Real journalism like it should be. Need more of that in this extremely high information age. Thank you.
By Far, best video I've seen in a while *JUST HIT SUBSCRIBE* I'm definitely copping that album and Yes I think Pac would have probably did something with em. Pac probably would have kept the game afloat. Now we have to rely on Drake. How can that ever be right?
Ok, ok ok.. "Hit Em Up" was a classic and scathing diss song, and "Against All Odds" was also incredible. But that "When We Ride On Our Enemies" is also nothing to sneeze at either.
This guy missed the fact that pac said in an interview that de la soul made a comment about hard music like 2pacs. Pac said something along the lines of " don't come around here rapping about peace when you have net been around holding it down for hip hop like we have been with that hard ish."
De La Soul are one of the greatest and most groundbreaking groups in hip hop history but it is a fact that they use to always send subliminal and sometimes wide open shots at rappers who were into street life or materialism.
PAC was a passionate dude, I think in due time he would reconcile even w the worst of people he had issues w because he had soo much love for peeps, and saw their true Shine !
2Pac got the lead in Juice because of his friendship with Treach. Pac went with Treach to Treach's audition to play Bishop. The director asked Pac to read and he got the part. Their friendship is well documented you just have to look a little deeper.
I think Pac and De La Soul could have collaborated after straightening out the misunderstanding. I know Pac was talking about releasing an album called "One Nation", which featured all East Coast artists (Nice and Smooth, Smiff N Wesson, Buckshot, Big Daddy Kane, etc). I know he wanted all that drama (East Coast vs. West Coast) at that time to stop. He even squashed beefs/misunderstandings he had with other artists like Chino XL and Nas, so the idea of him working with De La doesn't seem that far fetched.
Tretch taking things very personal for 2pac only adds to the rumor that they were down-low buddies. Both had high feminine energy and acted as such. De La Soul was ahead of it's time and tried to preserve Hip-Hop and keep it on the path that was originally intended.
KiNG HURT 410 It wasn’t a diss. The whole song Pac is paying homage to Old School New York hip hop. The line “Putting potholes in the game” is a reference to De La’s song “Potholes in my Lawn.”
I was more partial to De la soul than PAC. Yea you know, that NYC arty, bohemian, intellectual, Native Tongues shit. PAC was great, no doubt....but couldn't tell when he was conscious or gangsta....he was a paradox.
Ya know the older I get the more I find issue and shortcomings from 2pac's music. What attracted me to it when I was younger was the intense passion and vitality coming from Pac's voice and lyricism, but as I mature a lot of it comes off as uninspired vitriol. After his masterpiece, Me Against the World, his lyrics became so heavily wrapped around feuding with other rappers and less about the music. And let's be real here, Pac did not have an ear for beats. When he was at his best lyrically he was pure fire but the beats almost never reached those same heights.
At the time in 1996 2 Pac thought that a lot of people were his enemies such as biggie who really were his friends, so yes I think that he would have tripped on De la soul.
@@donnelladams340biggie and de la soul was sneak dissing that man. PACs the one had that nuts to speak up. And if biggie was PACs friend who needs enemies 😂😂😂
I could be wrong but I remember in the Vibe interview Pac was saying that when he was in New York jail they use to play a underground rap station. And he heard De La taking about using guns or dissing him. either the Vibe or source interview.
De La Soul Is Dead is the most underrated Hip Hop album ever. All the new guys that are supposedly bringing hip hop to the next level are only picking up the mantle that De La Soul left, many years after the fact.
Jason G the Pharcyde really had potential to be a top 5 group imo but after Fatlip was dismissed after their 2nd album it was a wrap for that. De La has at least 4 straight classics from the jump
Damn they beat me to the punch. I was going to go over this beef. I just knew dude was going to miss some things but he pretty much got everything. De La Soul was also doing interviews in magazines talking against gangsta rap. Good job tho.
Yes, they would've definitely collaborated. Remember did love De La Soul, on the track "Old School" from the Me Against the World album, there was a shout out to De La Doul. "...When De La Soul was puttin Potholes in the game..." Pac didnt initiate this beef, he only responded to indirect shots perceived at him. Check out Pacs Aug 24 1996 interview, he talks about it.
nice reference to Tupac's "i aint mad at cha". Right before the beat kicks in he says, "I got nothin but love for ya, do your thang boy". I love a good tupac reference. nice one
I love this video man, their is so much information.. I think Pac and De La Soul wouldve squashed it if 2pac were still alive. Pac would need all the help he can get to overthrow this so called hip hop that they call "mumble rap"
Don't know if you know but in Naughty by Nature's video for "Uptown Anthem" Pac makes a mean cameo and Treach gets a little revenge from Juice. Also Pac sampled Uptown Anthem for the song "Bomb 1st" another hard ass diss. You prolly already know this Im just putting it out there for those who don't. #PACallday
if Tupac was still alive he definitely would have ran up on them on stage and it will be on UA-cam. but years later just like just like Naughty by Nature made amends with them I'm sure an older Tupac would have too
That was "old school." That was the joint that came out after "ego tripping." It was an olive branch. Just learned about that one yesterday. I'll add a link in the bio. It's another reason for Pac to be even more upset.
I think Pac would have made up with everybody including his once bone man Biggie. I feel this deep in my bones, the One Nation project would have built bridges to salvation. Miss you Pac everyday!
Against all odds and Troublesome 96 were better than hit em up to me. I love 2Pac's art regardless, I got all his albums, including the posthumous ones, compilations and soundtracks!
I have always said that Against All Odds was the greatest battle rap song of all time... He came at like 9 people on that song. it didn't come at Jay-Z on Against All Odds that was bomb first... it was a classic battle beat and you know he was telling the truth for my soul. very gripping and visual imagine someone tell you " load em up against the wall closes eyes since you lie, you died... Goodbye" and notice he didn't come at biggie on Against All Odds either. he told Puffy " tell them people you roll with whatever you want but you are not know what's going on, don't we?
I still remember being in my cousin's room with all our friends, smoking an El and tripping to this record!! We must've played it on repeat like 20x. We couldn't believe ANYONE could just go so hard on a record!! That and No Vaseline raised the bar for diss records.
That shit is not the best 😂😂😂 it’s a ballerina acting gangster when he was a native tongue rapper before being a fake gangster lol man first albums didn’t go nowhere only until he put on a gangster act and non body in nyc took him serious he got shot 5 times for acting G and raped in jail .. can’t be talking like pac used too with no consequences even the cali dudes say he had a big mouth lol don’t praise a loud mouth
Also not to be forgotten: De La Soul was one of the 1st groups / rappers that was Not involved directly in the beef to speak up and give their opinion on Pac + deathrow east / west. And it was not favorable, they did in fact take a shot in the magazine.. source or vibe can't recall.
There was a talent show in the late 80s in Oakland California and De La Soul attended the show Tupac performed at the show and they had a chance to sign him but they didn't a few years later he was signed by Digital Underground De La Soul had the chance to sign one of the greatest rappers of all time
PAC a beast lol not one rapper today is even close . Why cuz he kept it honest with his fans and never lost himself . How everybody has from his time to now . Truly a real dude
I was 14 I think when pot holes in my lawn came out. I think I was the only one listening to that shit in b'ham in 88. I was on everything back then, went to N.W.A concerts Public Enemy, and who ever else came through.I say this because I didn't know till literally just now that was a De La Soul dis. Don't it sound like the entire verse "Larry Holmes reference was about Nas? But all the years (I still got that album in my phone) I never knew. I just listened to agaisnt all odds the other day. You learn something new every day.😁 Thanks homie.
Just to clarify, 2pac did NOT use the same beat as the "Get Money Remix" they used the same Dennis Edwards sample. Re creating their own version of Junior Mafia's idea.
I don't think that Pac would've collaborated with De La Soul after what happened. He was way too paranoid and caught in the East West mindset at the end of it. As if he would've worked with East cost artists like that.
InYaGirlOvaries Nothing what you said gives us any valuable information about Pac collaborating COLLABORATING with east coast artists. Oh and Nas and Pac didn't had "beef" like that
De La Soul just came out with another Brilliant album and they have always been true to who they are.Pac first was in a arts academy and studied acting with Jada Smith and then was making joke rap for digital underground,then came out and decided to be a poet and was nice with the pen and the story telling.But was he a real gangster or just doing gangster rap.De La has always been a NYC rap group you only say what is real.
7thvenom Listen to the original "R U Still down" track from 2pac (not the one with Jon B). Before he went more commercial with AEOM and before he released DK7. This is a more true reflection of the person and artist he was and who he was becoming.

Saw this on my recommendations list which i really don't pay attention to.. But love your professionalism and personality, definitely subbing!
De La Soul saw the writing on the wall with Bad Boy, Puffy, and Tupac. Stakes is High was a year before Biggie and Tupac were killed. Just sayin..
When so called rap music came out it was hard guys pretending to be soft and then it turned the other way around.
Pretty prophetic. Luckily De La was smart enough not to hang with crews likely to get into gunfights. They're still around and have plenty of love and respect. I think they made the right decision.

Brilliant video. Great insight to something I had never paid any attention to.
Good video, this dude that's speaking is great.
yo thanks for the up.load great video
Don't know if you know but in Naughty by Nature's video for "Uptown Anthem" Pac makes a mean cameo and Treach gets a little revenge from Juice. Also Pac sampled Uptown Anthem for the song "Bomb 1st" another hard ass diss. You prolly already know this Im just putting it out there for those who don't. #PACallday
Dope. Thanks for pointing that out.
These breakdown videos are dope af bro salute
Thank you!
if Tupac was still alive he definitely would have ran up on them on stage and it will be on UA-cam. but years later just like just like Naughty by Nature made amends with them I'm sure an older Tupac would have too
I agree. Pac made up with Nas before they beefed. The same would've happened here.
Plus you're not going to get any street cred talking SHIT to De LA Soul
At least you answered the question. I agree. ☺
This was well put together and very educational. I’m glad it popped up. Keep up the great work
WHERE did you get those posters in the background!!!???
Brah you are on point 🤜🏾🤛🏾
I like this guy. Subscribed
Good Video mate. Your not picking sides or dissing, just reporting. Cheers!
Tupac said De La was coming out with some "Renaissance shit and tryna clean up Hip Hop."
That was "old school." That was the joint that came out after "ego tripping." It was an olive branch. Just learned about that one yesterday. I'll add a link in the bio. It's another reason for Pac to be even more upset.
Well didn't 2Pac say he was trying to clean up the streets and help the community. He really contradicted himself sometimes.
You forgot the Part of Maceo wanting to fight Trech
I think Pac would have made up with everybody including his once bone man Biggie. I feel this deep in my bones, the One Nation project would have built bridges to salvation. Miss you Pac everyday!
Great channel

Nice reference. Whatever happened to the EEEmmmmCCCcceeeee...
Against all odds and Troublesome 96 were better than hit em up to me. I love 2Pac's art regardless, I got all his albums, including the posthumous ones, compilations and soundtracks!
I have always said that Against All Odds was the greatest battle rap song of all time... He came at like 9 people on that song. it didn't come at Jay-Z on Against All Odds that was bomb first... it was a classic battle beat and you know he was telling the truth for my soul. very gripping and visual imagine someone tell you " load em up against the wall closes eyes since you lie, you died... Goodbye" and notice he didn't come at biggie on Against All Odds either. he told Puffy " tell them people you roll with whatever you want but you are not know what's going on, don't we?
I still remember being in my cousin's room with all our friends, smoking an El and tripping to this record!! We must've played it on repeat like 20x. We couldn't believe ANYONE could just go so hard on a record!! That and No Vaseline raised the bar for diss records.
That shit is not the best 😂😂😂 it’s a ballerina acting gangster when he was a native tongue rapper before being a fake gangster lol man first albums didn’t go nowhere only until he put on a gangster act and non body in nyc took him serious he got shot 5 times for acting G and raped in jail .. can’t be talking like pac used too with no consequences even the cali dudes say he had a big mouth lol don’t praise a loud mouth
Whats the song playing in the background ????
Where can I get those pics framed in the back round ?
That joint The Art of Getting Jumped has a new meaning to me after watching this
Also not to be forgotten: De La Soul was one of the 1st groups / rappers that was Not involved directly in the beef to speak up and give their opinion on Pac + deathrow east / west. And it was not favorable, they did in fact take a shot in the magazine.. source or vibe can't recall.
Good info. Salute....1~Luv
There was a talent show in the late 80s in Oakland California and De La Soul attended the show Tupac performed at the show and they had a chance to sign him but they didn't a few years later he was signed by Digital Underground De La Soul had the chance to sign one of the greatest rappers of all time
PAC a beast lol not one rapper today is even close . Why cuz he kept it honest with his fans and never lost himself . How everybody has from his time to now . Truly a real dude
lmao he was a rapper, stop talking about him like he malcomn x or something ,he was just a rapper
he was much more than rapper. So much ahead of his time it's incredible.
Plenty of them
+FatherBud but non with the same power in their music . Name me another artist with music as strong
I can tell. That's why their discography is full of classics and they're household names. ...
Very informative n insightful, got my sub!!
Any rapper will say he love Pac. Since he is the peoples champ and god like figure in projects worldwide.
nah
Steffen Flindt talk is cheap
Just found this channel love the breakdown your insights and knowledge of hip hop is awesome keep up the show
Thank you, Darneil!
I heard that Larry holmes line was directed at kool g rap.
It was.
Rico Salvaje lol
Naw
I was 14 I think when pot holes in my lawn came out. I think I was the only one listening to that shit in b'ham in 88. I was on everything back then, went to N.W.A concerts Public Enemy, and who ever else came through.I say this because I didn't know till literally just now that was a De La Soul dis. Don't it sound like the entire verse "Larry Holmes reference was about Nas? But all the years (I still got that album in my phone) I never knew. I just listened to agaisnt all odds the other day. You learn something new every day.😁 Thanks homie.
I wanna see a compilation of Justin just saying "Let's break it down," "Yeezus!" and "Greatest of all time!"
Just to clarify, 2pac did NOT use the same beat as the "Get Money Remix" they used the same Dennis Edwards sample. Re creating their own version of Junior Mafia's idea.
I don't think that Pac would've collaborated with De La Soul after what happened. He was way too paranoid and caught in the East West mindset at the end of it. As if he would've worked with East cost artists like that.
That's a great point. Too many strikes.
No true, Tupac and Nas squashed there beef. And they was suppose to meet up and talk again. But Pac died in Vegas.
InYaGirlOvaries Nothing what you said gives us any valuable information about Pac collaborating COLLABORATING with east coast artists. Oh and Nas and Pac didn't had "beef" like that
Look at his last interview where he talks about deathrow east and how was playing chess??? He didn't look paranoid to me??
whats with One Nation and Bootcamp Click?
De La Soul just came out with another Brilliant album and they have always been true to who they are.Pac first was in a arts academy and studied acting with Jada Smith and then was making joke rap for digital underground,then came out and decided to be a poet and was nice with the pen and the story telling.But was he a real gangster or just doing gangster rap.De La has always been a NYC rap group you only say what is real.
🙌
That's a quality assessment. I think Pac's always been a revolutionary, regardless of how it was presented as he evolved.
7thvenom Listen to the original "R U Still down" track from 2pac (not the one with Jon B). Before he went more commercial with AEOM and before he released DK7.
This is a more true reflection of the person and artist he was and who he was becoming.
