It certainly was slept on.

None of their albums are 5 stars to you?

Absolutely not. Each album falls short. That being said, they are a pretty cool group.

Unlike this entire forum I don't throw around the 5 start rating all willy-nilly. The only true 5 star album in my book is Midnight Marauders. Every other album falls from just short to why bother.

That's cool man, I was just curious.

5 star ratings are reserved for Cyne and PUTS

And LTJ Bukem

Got me there. I'm quite a fanboy of both. PUTS doesn't have one but you could argue that Cyne does.

LTJ is cool but I'm not ready to give him that high of a rating just yet.

Who the fuck is LTJ Bukem

3 Feet High & Rising, De La Soul Is Dead, & this get 5 stars from me...Shoot me....lol

The Grind Date is better than this IMO.

One of the forerunners of the "jazzy" drum and bass genre.

I actually own 17 albums. Why is that even relevant? I've heard hundreds of albums so cut that jive talkin.

LMAO @ 17

I don't agree with that bullshit at all. Buhloone Mind State is actually one of their WEAKER efforts.

De La has one of the best discogs in hip-hop history. 4 stars for this album.

Furthermore, people who don't like Native Tongues have no fuckin business on these threads. What's the point of going to an exclusive group thread if you don't like any of their stuff? It's pointless.

We've been over this before...

What's the point of going to the DMV if you don't like it? Church? HH4L? Your home?

Well by law you've gotta go to the DMV every once in a while, that's the difference.

No you don't. 4.5 stars for this album. My second favorite De La album

Yes you do. You've gotta get your license renewed every 4 years or so. Not to mention registering new whips when you get them.

You don't have to have a license or a vehicle.

Indeed, Terry.

I respectfully disagree.

Yes they do have an impressive catalog. Nobody is debating that.

No need to get unnecessarily riled up. I can't think of a reason why anyone wouldn't like the Native Tongues collective. Its arguably the strongest. Its tied with Hiero Imperium as my fav.

Kool John's parents make him renew his license for his race car bed every year whether he needs to or not.
