@ybrik222

9 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Saddens me that they'll never be another era like this again. I'm glad I didn't take it for granted growing up.

Exactly. Sad scene, that kid getting shot in the store

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 was my jam.

Happy 30th anniversary to Digable Planets' debut album!!

Baddest song of the 90s

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.

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!!!!!

I’ve been listening to this song, since it came out, when I was in high school. I worked at the rollerskating rink & always requested this song. This song is still new & fresh in 2024!! The beats, their voices, the horns, nothing has ever come close to this song, very beatnik.. thank you, Digable Planets.. Blink, blink, blink!!
