PODCAST: 9 good albums...

I saw this posted on Instagram the other day by Questlove from The Roots. It's simple...you have to pick #NineGoodAlbums that "built" me. The albums must be dope and flawless.

A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service Album Review | DEHH

I recently got a chance to sit and review the latest album from A Tribe Called Quest with my homies from Dead End Hip Hop.

It goes without saying that A Tribe Called Quest is a legendary group with a wide range of influence on hip hop today and beyond. We never thought we would ever get another ATCQ album but 2016 delivered.

In what is billed as their final album, 'We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service' features all four members of ATCQ: Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, and Jarobi.

How does the group sound 18 years later?

We discuss that and more in our latest review with special guest 12Kyle, host of The 12Kyle Podcast and Dead End Sports.

PODCAST: Beats, Rhymes, and Life...20 Years Later

1996 was an incredible year for hip hop. On July 30, 1996, A Tribe Called Quest released Beats, Rhymes and Life. It was the 4th album from the legendary hip hop trio. This album was lauded by critics and despised by many of Tribe’s faithful fans. It was a commercial success for the group…but that success came a cost.

Listen to The 12kyle Podcast as I break down the album and tell you how it ranks with the other albums that came out in 1996.

who's the BEST hip hop group ever???

Group- any collection or assemblage of persons or things

That is the definition of a group...according to the dictionary.

As we celebrate hip hop week, I am reminded that we've seen our share of great groups. I have always had a great deal of respect for hip hop duos/groups. They have helped mold and shape the hip hop culture. You gotta respect them even more. I imagine that it's hard to stand out as an MC when you're in a group. Sometimes your skills can be overlooked when you're in a group.

Over the years, we've seen some great groups...

THE ROOTS

SALT N PEPA

RUN DMC

EPMD

NWA

OUTKAST

WU TANG CLAN

DE LA SOUL

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

Just to name a few!

But if I had to pick ONE group as the best of all time...I'd say...

PUBLIC ENEMY

And that's hard to say because the groups that I just mentioned are great groups. But when I measure their impact on the culture, lyrics, and album content. I gotta say PE.

What about you?

Who is the best hip hop group of all time?

the great 1

Great

Genius

Innovative

Visionary

Sometimes people throw these words out when they speak of others. The descriptions are vastly unfounded. Not this time. These words accurately describe the late James Yancey...aka J Dilla aka Jay Dee.

He was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists, working for big-name acts like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes and Common. J Dilla became highly regarded, most notably for the production of critically acclaimed albums by Common, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Janet Jackson, and Erykah Badu. He was a member of Slum Village and produced their acclaimed debut album Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1) and their follow-up Fantastic, Vol. 2.

Jay Dee was born on February 7, 1974. He lived for...and bled for hip hop. Unfortunately, J Dilla died from lupus on February 10, 2006, three days after his 32nd birthday and the release of his final album Donuts. He was taken from us far too soon. He was a gift to hip hop. Long before there was a Kanye West, there was J Dilla. I miss him and his music. He lives on.

Just press 'PLAY'

Happy Birthday, J Dilla
