    Listening to this sing A LOT lately actually. Dilla was a pioneer. One of the hardest beats of ALL TIME. De La was and continues to be unimpressed and fed up with the buffoonery and bullshit.

      Grind Date is one of the most slept on albums ever. I will rock with De La Forever because they never ride the mainstream wave. None of their albums sound like the previous album. They haven’t made a wack album yet. No group has had their longevity and consistency in Hip Hop.

    Word up! JDilla arguably the greatest producer/beat maker of all time!! This was the golden era of hip hop!!! Rhyme scheme, rhyme pattern, lyrics and delivery … add creativity …. and lyrics that actually moved you and really had meaning!!! Hip hop isn’t the same today… maybe I’m getting old but in my opinion, today’s hip hop, has fallen off the rails!!

    The entire Stakes is High album is phenomenal. Soooo underapreciated. Thanks for bringing it some 2020's attention.
    Also sorry to correct but OJ never admitted being the killer. I thought he was guilty back then, but in hindsight, I implore everyone to read deeper. Look at the many defensive wounds on Ron Goldman; he was trained in martial arts and clearly fought back. Except for a small cut on one single finger OJ had no cuts, scrapes, bruises on his body....NONE....and if the cut on his finger was from this incident as police claim why wasnt there a corresponding cut in the gloves he supposedly wore?

    the way Dilla can either chop samples in a track with such skill and finesse, or dress up a simple loop that is beautiful, and sometimes the skill is in what he samples, the genres he took from are incredibly diverse, and he has many experimental beats

    Stakes is high is a great record. Slept on masterpiece and maybe the best De La album. Dealt with a lot of topics that still resonate today. They dropped this record right when mainstream rap music started becoming one dimensional. Cats just wanted to rap about money and champagne and other fake gangster shit. De La have always been the opposite of that, they’ve shown you can be intelligent, conscious, creative and unique but still be raw as hell. Along with the jungle brothers, tribe called quest, black sheep, and a few others, they formed a larger collective called Native Tongues.....This was their first record that they produced on their own along with a few others (jDilla). All of their previous stuff was produced by Prince Paul who is easily one of the all-time great’s. I highly recommend every album of theirs as well as all of the materiel by the other native tongues groups.... I absolutely love that you are getting into the golden era and the pillars of Hip Hop. Very cool to see a young cat appreciate the foundation. Keep up the great work 🤝
