Classic. A lot of cameos in the video Monie Love, The Roots, Lords of the Underground, Guru, Pete Rock, DJ Kid Kapri, The Outsidaz, Organized Konfusion, Consequence, Jungle Brothers, and I'm missing a bunch
Stakes is High is one of the many classic albums from 96, The whole album was going at the gangsterism stereotypes that the corporate owners of the industry were beginning to perpetuate.
Yes, that was Quest Love of The Roots in the beginning. You can do a month of reactions just off the cameos in this one video. Have you reacted to any Cameo songs?
De la Soul and Tribe are abstract their word play always have you thinking..All their albums show they take the art form if rap and open up so many doors... bringing in Japanese rap artist up to their last album with Little Dragon...just truly amazing they are to rap culture and community... Listening to them in Bed Study 88 we fell hard for De la Soul.
Other cameos in here include that light skinned Afro dude who was in the Roots “What They Do” music video (and he was in the Lyricist Lounge show, watch that show!), Prince Paul (early producer for De La Soul and The Grave Diggas), Zhané, and those 2 little rapping kids from that kid group “Magnificent Seven”.
One of the little kids was DJ Lil’ Jus or something like that. A lot of people miss Da Youngstas standing on the basketball court and Tame One from the Artifacts is standing in the lunch line.
De la soul was a breath of fresh air during a time when most other rappers were tslking about thier 9mm, bitches and cars. Got boring, de la soul celebrated the alternative like alot of ua back then. Brought it in a different way unlike most.
Wow. De La has been known to have some misinterpreted disses(see Biggie, Naughty by Nature, 2pac), but this is definitely not a diss. The entire rhyme is: “See them Cubans don't care what y'all niggas do Colombians ain't never ran with your crew Why you acting all spicy and sheisty The only Italians you knew was icees, niggas price me” It’s a rebuttal directed at the little guy wannabes with the drug dealing exotic mafioso dreams that were so common during the mid 90’s. Not at another famous emcee who named his album after the strongest part of his gold chain. If this so called diss were true, who were the Colombians and Italians shots for? Ghostface worked on the Cuban Linx album and went on to do a song with De La. Do you really think he would have made a song with them if he felt dissed or that they dissed his collaborator/band member/close friend?
They do speak out on the mafioso lifestyle in this song. The Stakes is High album also had the Naughty by Nature and Biggies disses. Not sure if they were intentional though.

Stakes is High is one of the many classic albums from 96, The whole album was going at the gangsterism stereotypes that the corporate owners of the industry were beginning to perpetuate.
De La Soul with the positive message. Loved that group during the time of the native tongues.
My favorite De La Soul song
I always felt like De La and Tribe are two halves of a whole. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
My dude is hearing this for the 1st time and this is has to be in the thousands for me.
Also their albums “De La Soul is Dead” and “Buhloone Mind State” have many bangin joints!
Yes, that was Quest Love of The Roots in the beginning. You can do a month of reactions just off the cameos in this one video. Have you reacted to any Cameo songs?

Black Thought was also in it.
Kid Kapri
Jungle Bros, Lordz of the Underground

One of My Favorite De La Soul Music Videos ... HIP HOP CLASSIC

De la Soul and Tribe are abstract their word play always have you thinking..All their albums show they take the art form if rap and open up so many doors... bringing in Japanese rap artist up to their last album with Little Dragon...just truly amazing they are to rap culture and community...

This album was on my rotation during my senior year of high school .
Other cameos in here include that light skinned Afro dude who was in the Roots “What They Do” music video (and he was in the Lyricist Lounge show, watch that show!), Prince Paul (early producer for De La Soul and The Grave Diggas), Zhané, and those 2 little rapping kids from that kid group “Magnificent Seven”.

They diss Raekwon the Chef on this...”See them Cubans don’t care what y’all brothas do.....

Questlove
i thought they were dissing nas on this joint
Nas, The Fugees, Jay-Z, Foxxy Brown
Pretty much anyone doing the Mafiaso rap during this time.
i believe nas said something about Maceo which started it.
They do speak out on the mafioso lifestyle in this song. The Stakes is High album also had the Naughty by Nature and Biggies disses. Not sure if they were intentional though.
