What ?
Aug 16th 2018
12
Stakes is High and We Got It are both classics
Aug 16th 2018
13
The Roots are better than both.
Aug 16th 2018

Aug 16th 2018

Thought is on the short list for GOAT for sure.
Aug 16th 2018

I just would never would think of him when listing my GOAT’s...
Aug 16th 2018

Aug 16th 2018
24
I prefer DLS but like a few already said, you can't really ...
Aug 16th 2018
25
OutKast is better than both
Aug 16th 2018
27
Yea I go 1. OutKast 2. DLS 3. ATCQ
Aug 17th 2018
36
Best 2nd album: ATLiens vs. De La Soul is Dead vs. Low End Theory
Aug 17th 2018
38
      ATLiens > DSID .... Low End Theory > DSID ∴ ATLiens = LowEndTheory
Aug 17th 2018

PERIOD. No other debate needed.
Aug 19th 2018
74
Eh, De La Soul is Dead is my #2 album of all time. Low End is #3 or #4
Aug 21st 2018
105
better is subjective, but De La is the greatest rap group of all time
Aug 17th 2018
63
I give that to the Legendary Roots Crew, personally
Aug 17th 2018
64
no one who made "and then you shoot your cousin" is greatest anything

Aug 19th 2018

Do you rank AOI Mosaic Thump higher than Bionix?
Aug 23rd 2018

Isn't this a known fact?

It's a silly argument that comes down to preference.
Aug 19th 2018
79
De La is Funkadelic. ATCQ is Parliament. Same fold, different aims, both...
Aug 19th 2018
83
IF you were introducing HipHop to someone for the first time...
Aug 20th 2018
91
a couple of thoughts
Aug 20th 2018
92
first off, anything post 2000 is irrelevant, 2nd, one of De La's biggest...
Aug 21st 2018
97
tha truth isnt the truth
Aug 21st 2018
98
that's that "trump truth"
Aug 21st 2018

you could have put anyone on that song and it would have won
Aug 21st 2018

Aug 21st 2018

lol @ "I'll say it" like your voice matters here
Aug 21st 2018
103
      What in the heck are you babbling about?
Aug 22nd 2018
137
I'm not the audience for either
Aug 21st 2018

                oh okay, you have no respect for context
Aug 22nd 2018

You're in the minority here.

Aug 22nd 2018
153
      lol @ a local level. because De La and ATCQ havent performed globally
Aug 22nd 2018
126
      And he won't say what groups etc he likes or was listening to
Aug 22nd 2018
127
           Not important to my original question

De La's lyrics were always a bit too abstruse for me.
Aug 22nd 2018

I get this 100%, and it's part of the reason I give Tribe the slight nod

My overly simplistic take, minus the external factors (sales etc.):
Apr 09th 2020

yeah, tribe had a bigger impact

It's 2020. DeLa Soul is STILL together. STILL.

      Oh.
Apr 09th 2020
215
      De La does t really have a star in the group who could go solo
Apr 09th 2020
206
           its more becasue Pos/Dave are equaly dope...
Apr 09th 2020
221
                its pretty awesome how much de la leans on each other
Apr 09th 2020
222
                100%.
Apr 09th 2020
223
                Both dope but I don’t see either carrying a whole album
Apr 10th 2020

De La is GREAT, but Tribe reached HIGHER peaks

Do people actually think ..Anonymous nobody is great?
Apr 09th 2020

It wasn’t even good IMO.
Apr 09th 2020
204
I was bugging.. its a good album
Mar 04th 2023
244
      AOI Bionix was better than I remembered
Mar 04th 2023
249
It was painful to listen to.........
Apr 09th 2020
205
I don’t think I’d say great...
Apr 09th 2020
207
yeah really good is more appropriate
Apr 09th 2020
208
Yea think I said this in there or another Anonymous thread but ...
Apr 09th 2020
218
absolutely..
Apr 09th 2020
220
I might have to revisit
Apr 10th 2020
227
      I’m a huge De La fan and I thought it was boring and more of a collab
Apr 10th 2020
228
Proof that De La Soul is the better group.
Apr 09th 2020

Mar 06th 2023
264

Mar 07th 2023
288

Beats Rhymes & Life is much better than and the anonymous nobody
Mar 10th 2023

"Stakes is High" is much better than "We Got It from Here..."
Mar 10th 2023
307
Agreed, but I do not think there is much gap btw BRL and Stakes is High
Mar 10th 2023
308
      Agreed..both are great..prob comes down to who you like more...
Mar 14th 2023
315
           De La is probably better, I love them both and would take EPMD over them...
Mar 16th 2023
318
ATAN is too new to properly gauge
Mar 10th 2023
309
What's better than Drawn on Beats Rhymes & Life?
