Big Ben Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I know last time I brought up some material for this project it didn't get any love but I listened to it in its entirety and I had to bring it up again. This is what I call an actual PROJECT. This whole CD is a story. It follows the highs and lows of two friends who try to make it in the rap game. It's a straight up concept album which is very rare. I thought it was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 One last touch on the subject. The way De La works together, the same way Run DMC and Jurassic 5 worked together. It's the back and forth word play that they perform with. The way it seems like they're in the same booth together recording the song. It's something "Super Groups" Like Slaughterhouse lack.

Schnazz Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm really enjoying this album as well. I LOVE the concept of the album, and the story it tells is great. Usually with less main stream acts I enjoy the lyrics but the beats are weak. But I think this album is musically solid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeh this album is my fave Hip-Hop album of the years so far. I know that's not saying much but its a great concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turntable Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I never really go into De La Soul. I think they are talented but it was never really my thing. So should I still give this a shot? I am interested. I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'll be biased with my answer. De La are up there along with Outkast as my favourite Hip-Hop Group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnazz Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I enjoy De La Soul but was never a huge fan. The story telling is what hooked me on this album. If you enjoy story telling, you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This album kinda slipped my mind. I previewed it online and like it. I finally bought it online. I'm old school so I'm anxiously waiting for the CD in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted June 27, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I got the CD in the car! Still loving it. I think it's better than the last De La album.. Its actually one of the few concept albums where I actually love the skits and interludes and don't mind listening to them repeatedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I still wish they went back and finished the AOI series. Originally they were going to release a three disc album but were talked into releasing them separately. The first one was great, the 2nd one was better...then they abandoned it. I remember around the first one dropped, we were skeptical about JJ+FP being on the 3rd installment for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted June 27, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah the 3rd one was supposed to be all about the DJ..pity it never happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
