Listening to this sing A LOT lately actually. Dilla was a pioneer. One of the hardest beats of ALL TIME. De La was and continues to be unimpressed and fed up with the buffoonery and bullshit.
The entire Stakes is High album is phenomenal. Soooo underapreciated. Thanks for bringing it some 2020's attention. Also sorry to correct but OJ never admitted being the killer. I thought he was guilty back then, but in hindsight, I implore everyone to read deeper. Look at the many defensive wounds on Ron Goldman; he was trained in martial arts and clearly fought back. Except for a small cut on one single finger OJ had no cuts, scrapes, bruises on his body....NONE....and if the cut on his finger was from this incident as police claim why wasnt there a corresponding cut in the gloves he supposedly wore?
Word up! JDilla arguably the greatest producer/beat maker of all time!! This was the golden era of hip hop!!! Rhyme scheme, rhyme pattern, lyrics and delivery … add creativity …. and lyrics that actually moved you and really had meaning!!! Hip hop isn’t the same today… maybe I’m getting old but in my opinion, today’s hip hop, has fallen off the rails!!
Good job young man...I'm a new subscriber...love your content ...I was around your age when Public Enemy came out...that group made Rap relevant. but J.Dilla was the greatest neo soul hip hop producer imo..
Grind Date is one of the most slept on albums ever. I will rock with De La Forever because they never ride the mainstream wave. None of their albums sound like the previous album. They haven’t made a wack album yet. No group has had their longevity and consistency in Hip Hop.
Innovative game changers . Ground breaking . The stuff they’ve sampled is bonkers if ya don’t know De la ya don’t know hip hop!! This album is sick. Do “Itssoeezzee” next
Love what you're doing bro. Request for more 90s Brooklyn shit. Black Moon ('How Many Mc's'), Group Home ('Livin Proof'), and Smiff n Wessun ('Sound Bwoy Burial')
I’ve seen, and toured with De La, hundreds of times and only ONCE have they played “I am, I be” live. It was my request lol. It’s also my all time favorite De La Soul song. Try it out
the way Dilla can either chop samples in a track with such skill and finesse, or dress up a simple loop that is beautiful, and sometimes the skill is in what he samples, the genres he took from are incredibly diverse, and he has many experimental beats
I remember when I first bought this joint and I opened it at my mans crib when this played we were literally speechless played it about 15 times back to back . Great memory
I love your reaction videos and that you pay close attention to the lyrics. Stakes has so many good lines it's impossible to catch them all on the first try. It took me 5 or 6. :)
Dilla the Beat God! Best producer the world has ever witnessed…. Absolutely nobody comes close on his level except Madlib aka Lord Quas.. the Beat Konducta
Trivia piece... De La Soul is from Amityville, NY. Yes, the "Amityville Horror" movie from 100 years ago (seems). Just designed a big addition to the HS there...BBS Architects. Supporting and improving the community for all.

Stakes is high is a great record. Slept on masterpiece and maybe the best De La album. Dealt with a lot of topics that still resonate today. They dropped this record right when mainstream rap music started becoming one dimensional. Cats just wanted to rap about money and champagne and other fake gangster shit. De La have always been the opposite of that, they’ve shown you can be intelligent, conscious, creative and unique but still be raw as hell. Along with the jungle brothers, tribe called quest, black sheep, and a few others, they formed a larger collective called Native Tongues.....This was their first record that they produced on their own along with a few others (jDilla). All of their previous stuff was produced by Prince Paul who is easily one of the all-time great’s. I highly recommend every album of theirs as well as all of the materiel by the other native tongues groups.... I absolutely love that you are getting into the golden era and the pillars of Hip Hop. Very cool to see a young cat appreciate the foundation. Keep up the great work 🤝
I keep telling yall to listen to Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa by DeLaSoul. That's the song that Scarface was talking about when he says that it raised his awareness on what he could do in hip hop
Buhloone Mindstate - De La’s best album. Came out within 2 months of Tribe’s Midnight Marauders. Nas- Illmatic, just a few months later. And ill Communication one month after Illmatic Talk about the golden age of hip-hop! Tracks off Buhloone you should check out: “En Focus” “Patti Dooke” “Breakadawn” “Ego Trippin” “Area” “I Am I Be”
Yo Ahmad Welcome To The World Of Real Hip Hop Thank You My Dude For Letting The New Generation Know About Real Rappers Thaaaaaaank You 💪🏿 Love Ya Channel Dj E.Dennis From NYC Got Two Songs For You Young King Self Destruction By The Stop The Violence Movement & I Gave You Power By Nas I'd Love To See Your Reaction To Those Songs 💯💯💯 if u haven't already
Such a relatable topic still, one of the best tracks of all time, and you did it justice! What about something from the album J Dilla and Madlib made in collaboration, Champion Sound (2003), as Jaylib. Recommend checking out "McNasty Filth" (video edt. on TH-cam is booty though lol)
BROO! React to some Dilla Beat tapes, like his 1997 batch, 1998 Batch, 1996 What Up Doe Sessions, or his The New Slave tape, they all have some of the best production a beat tape could ever have imo
You doin a service King....We need more young people reminding us of this era.
Everything by De La Soul is good...groundbreaking back in the day.
De La Soul were out to help people. "Neighborhoods are now hoods, because nobody's neighbors."
Listening to this sing A LOT lately actually. Dilla was a pioneer. One of the hardest beats of ALL TIME. De La was and continues to be unimpressed and fed up with the buffoonery and bullshit.
This shit dropped in '96, i graduated High School that year..
Same... had the cassette and wore that bitch OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! Great times mane!
Same, I took the bus to Media Play and picked up Stakes Is High and Nas It Was Written, both dropped the same day.
Also.
It's the smooth , soulful beat that makes '90 s hip hop so damn good
Dillas beats were too good for Earth man 😭
Man 😭😭🔥
🔥🔥🔥
The best producer that walked the earth
Yo! MF DOOM has a song with De La Soul called Rock Co. Kane Flow. It's crazy!
That’s a bangin ass song for real.
Facts
Puts a smile on my face seeing the young folks enjoying joints from my day. Keep it up & enjoy because you just getting started 👊🏽
Me fucking too! I tell everyone, the 90s were were a different kind of incredible
Shout To Ahmad Jamal For Composing Swahililand. Swahililand Is The Song That Was Sampled In "Stakes Is High".
Thank you. Gonna check that right now.
Yo Ahmad old school is a feeling not a number you old school AF now bruh 😎
Facts 😂🔥
It's great to see a young reactor getting to grips with the classics. De La still on my playlist, 30 years and counting...

2 years ago I discovered this song and was looping it all day
YES!!!!!! You are watching De La and others. You are my new favorite person on TH-cam. Thank you.
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY J DILLA
One of the greatest and most important hip hop songs of all time. De La and Dilla captured the essence of Black music on Stakes Is High.
"A Meteor Has More Rights Than My People"!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Word up! JDilla arguably the greatest producer/beat maker of all time!! This was the golden era of hip hop!!! Rhyme scheme, rhyme pattern, lyrics and delivery … add creativity …. and lyrics that actually moved you and really had meaning!!! Hip hop isn’t the same today… maybe I’m getting old but in my opinion, today’s hip hop, has fallen off the rails!!
One of the realest songs ever
Another classic! Loving this old school vibe you’re on lately!
I have been listening to this song since it was released. Found out this year that the opening voice talking in the background is Mos Def.
Great react,bro!
I saw De La when they toured off of this album,circa 1997.
Rip,J Dilla.
He never admitted to the murders. He always maintained his innocence
Good job young man...I'm a new subscriber...love your content ...I was around your age when Public Enemy came out...that group made Rap relevant. but J.Dilla was the greatest neo soul hip hop producer imo..
Miss 90s Hip Hop 😢✊🏿
De La Soul is one of the greatest ever. You should check "I am, I Be"
Grind Date is one of the most slept on albums ever. I will rock with De La Forever because they never ride the mainstream wave. None of their albums sound like the previous album. They haven’t made a wack album yet. No group has had their longevity and consistency in Hip Hop.
Premiere and Dilla!
De' La - Saturday, or a Skate Song Named Saturday
LEGENDARY LEGENDARY CLASSIC
J-J-J-J-J-J-DILLA
Rest easy
It's nice to see the youth appreciating the history
Native touges are reinstated
that production is unmatched man.
RIP Dilla
Innovative game changers . Ground breaking . The stuff they’ve sampled is bonkers if ya don’t know
De la ya don’t know hip hop!! This album is sick. Do “Itssoeezzee” next
one of my fav,s de la..and dilla!!
3 feet high and rising is the original album. Grew up through it, know it, love it, proclaim it...
"Nigga take offense, fuck it gotta be that way" Plug Third
Crazy, listening to young heads react to shit that was like yesterday for me but was really 35 years ago :)
Check out, Rebirth of Slick, by Digable Planets, they really brought the laid back jazz vibe to hio hop, before Tribe and Native Tongues
Natives are the 5 cradles of civilization, the original voices and scripts
Oh Dilla! Definitely one of my favorite songs.
One of the best hip hop albums of all time.
Let the Rhythm Hit Em- Eric B and Rakim
dropping nothing but heaters, you love to see it folks
Love what you're doing bro. Request for more 90s Brooklyn shit. Black Moon ('How Many Mc's'), Group Home ('Livin Proof'), and Smiff n Wessun ('Sound Bwoy Burial')
A very honest reaction. Shoutout from Australia. I was a teenager when the goldenage of hip hop rocked the globe👌🍻✌️😎
Personally, Stakes Is High is my favorite De La album.
I’ve seen, and toured with De La, hundreds of times and only ONCE have they played “I am, I be” live. It was my request lol.
It’s also my all time favorite De La Soul song. Try it out
You are wise beyond your years.... Blessings 🙏🏽 !!
De la Soul is one of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time.
Wow I'm glad you did this song. Thus song is a gigantic classic
the way Dilla can either chop samples in a track with such skill and finesse, or dress up a simple loop that is beautiful, and sometimes the skill is in what he samples, the genres he took from are incredibly diverse, and he has many experimental beats
Shout out from the Philippines. North Philly is in the building....
Me, myself and I, etc.
Go get it.
Long Island Strong!
That snare is nasty!!!
I remember when I first bought this joint and I opened it at my mans crib when this played we were literally speechless played it about 15 times back to back . Great memory
May God bless you! Great reaction!
I love your reaction videos and that you pay close attention to the lyrics. Stakes has so many good lines it's impossible to catch them all on the first try. It took me 5 or 6. :)
His mind got congested he took nine and blew it! Yo that went over his head
De la soul - trying people 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
De La Soul “My Writes” 🔥 🔥 🔥
We were there then, still here now. Respect your elders, and our elders before....keep it
I can listen to J Dilla’s instrumental “La La La” on repeat over and over again.
You're a perfect everyman, keep it up
You have been listening to fire lately!
Dilla the Beat God! Best producer the world has ever witnessed…. Absolutely nobody comes close on his level except Madlib aka Lord Quas.. the Beat Konducta
De La, Tribe, Beasties, Rakim... you trying to get an old school PHD. LOL You need to check out some Special Ed too.
Ronnie knows!
Special Ed! That's really going back :)
Special Ed is CRAZY Nice!!!!

Damn fine stuff Sir. Humble request, Pete Rock & C. L. Smooth I Get Physical.

Dilla was the king. The GOAT, along with living legend Premier. New cats need to take heed and bring back sampling. 93 til infinity.
They're talking about 2pac in this joint
Gotta check De La Soul - Supa Emcees. Common is on that track too!
90s hip hop had something to say about the culture
I keep telling yall to listen to Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa by DeLaSoul. That's the song that Scarface was talking about when he says that it raised his awareness on what he could do in hip hop
Alright now check out De La's Buddy.
Yeah, but the 12' remix with the Monie Love verse (another unbelievably underrated rapper right there!)
@@sobr4986 word. Word Up. 😂🤘
Might just be the deepest hip-hop song of all time.
'These niggas no longer talk shit, hey yo, these niggas live it.'
De La en point from day one.
De La Soul to check: "Me, Myself and I", and "Shopping Bags", and "Saturdays", and "Potholes in my Lawn"
Coolcoolcool.
top 5 album
One thing I loved about Dilla when a lot of people where making stiffer and robotic rap beats his stuff was nice and human and loose.
Do as De La Does!
3 Ft. High and Rising
Buhloone Mindstate - De La’s best album. Came out within 2 months of Tribe’s Midnight Marauders.
