De La Soul "AND THE ANONYMOUS NOBODY" album thread (out now)

[THE_R_]

CRAZY ALBUM...I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THIS AFTER 1 LISTEN...

I WALKED IN EXPECTING SOMETHING LIKE GRIND DATE OR THE AOI ALBUMS...

BUT INSTEAD THEY DROPPED A CRAZY THROWBACK TO THEIR OLDER ALBUMS...

WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL HIP-HOP VIBES...ITS A DOPE WAY TO COMEBACK AFTER 12 YEARS...

Although De La might be the longest lasting group (3 Feet High and Rising came out in 1989). I haven't checked for them since 50 Cent rapped over the Baby Fat beat, and his version was better imo.

ALL THIS MEANS IS THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON THE GRIND DATE....

WHICH IS AN ALBUM I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE...

Album is mad understated

I expected a little more, but it's a solid project

They got 2 Chainz spitting like his life depended on it lol

Is De La Soul the longest lasting rap group?

Is Public Enemy still around?

NWA broke up, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 broke up, Run DMC doesn't tour since JMJ passed.

Can anybody name a rap group thats been around longer than De La Soul?

AFTER BUMPING THIS ALBUM FOR A FEW MONTHS...

I CAN FINALLY FINALIZE A SOLID OPINION ON THIS...

I THINK THE ALBUM STARTS OFF EXCELLENT (ROYALTY CAPES, PAIN, SPITKICKER.COM, MEMORY OF)...

AND THEN THE ALBUM FALLS OFF WITH SOME UNWELCOMED PUNK-ROCK ELEMENTS...

MAKING THE MIDDLE OF THE ALBUM LACK COHESIVENESS IN A BAD WAY...

I ALSO DIG WHODEENI AND SOME OF THE MORE SERIOUS TRACKS IN THE END (GREYHOUNDS & TRAINWRECK)...

ALTOGETHER, I THINK THE ALBUM IS DOPE, BUT ONLY A SOLID 3.5/5.

That's fair.
