Which do you prefer? I am going with Tribe.

Quest- sick flow and production. De La Soul samples too much.

The Low End Theory>De La Soul entire discography IMO

I love De la Soul, truly

but I been wantin' to bang Q-Tip for the longest while he whispers "Bonita Applebaum, you gotta put me on" in my ear!

so a vote for ATCQ

Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Q-Tip aka Kamaal The Abstract, Phife Dawg... Posdunos, Trugoy the Dove, Pace Master Mace, Prince Paul..... Black Sheep... Queen La... The JB's.... Native Tongues 4 life...

Gotta have Soul!

I have favorite moments w/ both. I went through a mini hip-hop phase in 1990 when I lived in Los Angeles. It was weird. I was buying up everything from Tribe, to De La Soul, Queen Latifah (who was very new on the scene, but I loved "Come To My House" and "Fame" with Bowie), Kid N Play, and more. I think I was just desperate for something different. There was a big flux during that time w/ music, so I had snatching whatever I could that was interesting to me.

De La, hands down.

I like Tip a lot, but the ideas in De La's rhymes make his look like grade-school stuff.

For me, it's got to be the Tribe.

Wow you must know little Tribe. They sampled a lot as well.

De La hands down.

Classics:
De La is dead
Buhloone Mindstate
Stakes is high
The Grind Date

LOL And Tribe didn't? Pffft.

ernestsewell said:

Right! People always speak on what they don't know.

That whole Native Tongues thang was hip

Toss up!!! Love them both. True hip-hop IMO.

Now that's a hard choice between the two but I'd go with ATCQ because my man Q-Tip is Muslim

Not as much as De La Soul

larksanders said:

Yes, Tribe samples. But it is the way they use the sample, this is the difference. Tribe use the sample like true Mc's spittin' on an instrumental track. They use the track to help tell the story. De La, uses the sample like a dj would. It is not part of the story, it IS the story. With De La, one can get so caught up in the beat, that the rhyme can get lost.

Both. its ILLEGAL to force someone to choose btwn these two. Fans of one are fans of both. Was just listening to Midnight Marauders from Tribe, it has aged quite well. Wrong to make ppl pick, just WRONG

nice! i have a de la soul shirt too, i'm in love with it!

anyway, i love both. maybe Quest for overall production and De La lyrically...
