Digable Planets, Souls of Mischief, Pharcyde, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, absolute greatness!! After all these years, Where I’m From still goes hard!

I'm still bumping this in 2024. 30 years strong💪💪💪

They deserved that Grammy win. They were so ahead of their time.

"Where I'm from, Nappy Hair is Life" So liberating to hear this as a teenager. Naps were always the enemy. Digable Planets made them sound like a crown.

This album raised me.... I know each bar word for word, and every ad lib... This was hip hop, Pharcyde, De la soul, tribe called quest, souls of mischief, rass kass, just a couple of my faves from that era!!!!

"Food for thought, so get a buffet plate. The lyrics are so phat you might gain weight". In 2023, still one of the greatest lines ever.

Digable planets need their flowers , even a. Lifetime achievement

their music has aged so BEAUTIFULLY

Ladybug just had that sound in her voice. Perfect for this track

"The kinks, the dance, the prints on all the shirts my grandmother told my mother that it's Africa at work." That is the greatest freaking line ever. It litterly reminds me of what growing up in the 90s makes me think of.

My mind is absolutely blown. This is the best rap I've ever heard. So smooth. So funky. So perfect. I'm about to get a Digable Planets tattoo I don't even care I'm absolutely infatuated with this damn music!

Where has real music gone to? Bring this music back.

timeless hip hop.

hiphop can not get more intelligent than these guys

Come back Jazz Rap. We need beats like this one more than ever right now.

This beat is so legendary it hurts……God bless the 90’s.

DAMN SHE'S GOT THE SWEETEST VOICE EVER IN HIP-HOP .... PROVE ME WRONG! & yes I bought their album back in the day!

It is 2022 and Digable Planets still soothes the soul.

Digable planets and A Tribe Called Quest.....I love the fresh funky rap. I could listen all day long....cause I'm cool like that!!!! and that's where I'm from!!!

I miss this era in hip hop!! Classic! When we didn't rap about killing each other!

Ladybug is so cutie patootie. This song was always my favorite.

It's 2021 and Digable Planets is still way beyond their time and ours! Wow!

Damn. Unexpected watery eyes.. This hits every time. Infinite classic. So many memories.

The shit was what my dad played when I was 6 and it made me happy

"Rippin til dawn kickin' til dawn hip hop is a fix or else we'd be gone". Straight 🔥

One of the most underrated..but most important group in hip hop history 💪💯

"It's hip. What's hip? When hip is just the norm. Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms." I LOVE those bars... it got me into exploring all of black music.

I cant believe i'm just hearing these dudes.. I listened to their album and i cried tears of joy.. Rap will never reach these levels again and that's the sad part.. Where flow is just easy, soothing and cool.. I LOVE digable planets!!!!

Look at fashion in this video. What you see is considered vintage to the Millenials. The coats, hats, headwear, googles, etc. This is what Hip-Hop was. Man, only if I could go back to the 90s.

"Cocoa gotta know, how Planets, gotta roll Speak the mega cool, get funky as a goal It's calm, relax, we're only some new jacks that acts from the funk but don't play the role Where you from?" ...so many jewels in this track

Here from the Netflix series "Archive 81" this song came out the year I was born and never heard it, what a shame.

This is unbelievable...I'm 24 and it's my first time listening to Digable Planets😎?P😎😎They are outstanding for reals❤💪

Doodlebug murdered that 2nd verse!

Digable Planets' debut album is a timeless classic

How I miss this music!

One of the best Songs of 1993 real Hip Hop Vibes on this cut!

i will never ever get tired of this song

Damn first time i've ever listened to them and it's speechless. Amazing flow and lyrics, god bless.

Yo ... 90s was a beautiful time thanks mom for having me in the early 80s so could witness a beautiful time in hip hop

Archive 81 brought me here, had a brilliant soundtrack!

...and going into 2021, the real never dies 🖤🥂👌🏾✨.

Archive 81 bout to carry this to the top

Absolutely stoked to see em live. I had no idea they played with a live band. Every hip hop artist should tour like them. Hell yeah

"It's hip. What's hip? When hip is just the norm. Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms. The kinks, the love, the prints on all the shirts. My grandmother told mama that it's Africa at work." - They were so pro-black without being angry... I've always thought that was amazing... Butterfly, especially, made odes to blackness like it was a love affair and not a burden.

This one song is better than 100% of rap today.

such a banger

Just found this masterpiece on spotify. Addicted.

Where I'm from, this rhyme is still fresh in 2020!

I swear possibly the most underrated album ever!!!!!

Puts me at ease listening to this. Happy times in my childhood

Classic

I don't remember the last time I heard this ... Man, killer classic!

these are the only music artist that make me really happy while rapping. cause a lot of rap today is not positive. these people always are making happy music.

Listening to this as an adult, it's like I'm listening to brand new music! There are SO MANY references to the Nation of Gods & Earths! That's what's up! At one point The Nation was running hip-hop. That's when it was amazing. They created the formula for success.

Man I'm so happy I discovered this group... They're so cool

I love everything they stand for

I mostly live in the 90s in terms of my music choices. Golden age of hip-hop right here.

Everybody watchin this fly

one of the best groups ever. Much love from South Africa.. we live to love and we love to rock mics

"We be reading Marx where I'm from." Love that shit.

Bumping this in my Lowrider 😎🔥👌🏼💯

I love it when Seattle is represented in the Hip Hop world. Hey Ishmael "butterfly" Butler.

the lyrics are immaculate

Tribute to the Archie Bell and the Drells classic, the "Tighten Up", reminds me of summer days listening to the radio on the way out to the lake. Those summer days, outta class, seemed to last forever. Sincere love and respect to this incredibly creative and talented trio.

90's hip hop the best!!!

These guys and Fugees ... I love their mood!!!

LadyBug spits str8 🔥🔥🔥

Mahn hiphop so good you feel your heart swell with happiness...mad love and utmost respect from Kisumu, Kenya.

I love this, love this, love this so much. Missed it the first time around, but for me this is the true spirit of hip-hop: intelligent, turned-on and respectful to its roots.

This is soul music at its deepest. Pure. Optimistic. Positive. After Cool Like Dat, they never had to make another hit record for me. It was an Epic track.

Why did I sleeep on this grouppppppp? 98 was the wrong era to be 12 🥺 Lolll This and Lord of the Underground went over my head smh

We need more inspirational hip hop like this!

Hip hop at its greatest. Feel sorry for you new kids this is the real deal

Groups like Digable Planets were from the future

I Loved This Era Of Hip Hop!

Archive 81 sent me here

all these people in the comments saying "hip hop isn't as good these days" like they don't know Ishmael is still rapping today in Shabazz Palaces. Not to mention others like Open Mike Eagle, Busdriver, RTJ, Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic have that Hail Mary Mallon project. Czarface is bringing back some classic DOOM sounds, and there are guys doing things completely new like Death Grips, Captain Murphy, Mr. Yote, and Spark Master Tape. There's just as much good rap today as there was back then, you just have to look past the pop music to find it

Timeless hip hop musical classic

😌... Digable Planets❤❤❤God bless you and yours daily ❤❤❤❤❤

I still have my cassette & cd !! One of my favorite albums

This kind of rap is the shit I can bump for life... Damn all my friends diss this whole alien vibe disable planets had going on but I think it's one of the freshest things hip hop ever had

One of the best hip hop albums ever!!!!!!

Crazy long haired metal bassist kid from the 'burbs found this band and fell instantly in love in 93.

Another historical gem!! 💪🏿👏🏿✊🏿🙌🏿♥️💯

Sooooo underated! This still bumps today!

I love this song.

I remember rapping to this song with my cousin when i was younger. Still one of my favorite songs ever.

These cats didn't even know how important they were/are in laying down such greatness. I'm SO grateful I grew up through this era. "Hip, what's hip? When hip is the norm..." Lawd!

Back in the days when the Heart of Hip Hop was well, alive and still beating!

Way ahead of its time. This is a classic.

One of the great hip hop songs of all time.

I still play the remix on my way to work in the mornings... It puts me in a good headspace to deal with the job and coworkers llol

Omg I haven't listened to this in at least 2 decades!? Oh I loved these guys. What happened to them?! This takes me back. Traveling back in time right now.....AHHHHH. I'm 15 again and its 1994. I feel lucky to have met them on tour. I always thought this group would have blown up more.

True hip hop. These sounds are unparalleled and what real music is supposed to sound like. The bass line is so fresh. I'm so glad I've discovered Digable Planets and plan to continually listen to the dope ass music they supplied the world with.

All of them can flow. Damn, miss those days...Way Before Their Time..Real Hip Hop..

Maaaaaaad respect for the whats considered old school hip hop!! This is what I call real artistry!

My Grandmother told my Mother that it's Africa at work 💯

Just saw them in Denver! These guys throw down a sick show! Grab your tickets ppl!

Man this whole album is dope from start to finish.
