De La Soul - Stakes Is High (With Intro) (Official Music Video) [HD]

[@RateDTD72]

Trugoy's "I'm Sick" verse is even more relevant in 2023 than it ever was back in 1996.

[@forevidence84]

One of my favorite Trugoy verses! Long live Dave & Dilla! ✊🏽

[@Staticspencer]

Him & Pos had so many great verses on this album, love this song.

It makes me so happy De La Soul own the rights to this again. One of the ALL TIME GREATS. RIP Dave and Dilla, we're still listening!

[@edwinotieno9470]

Billboard omitting De La Soul on that hip hop top 50 is an affront to the genre

One of my best songs till date. Mehn where is HIP HOP, when it's needed. MOS DEF, COMMON, TRIBE CALLED QUEST, and peace to all the old skool MC"S and DJ"S, who gave us smooth, cool music. DE LA SOUL, you are my people people's. Best of the Best. One

RIP Dave! Your music is still so inspirational. It's about time these classics are available to stream. Much love!

[@anwav-]

Each frame of this video is excellence in lighting and photographic composition. Love the color pallette. Maury never looked better in history than in this video. The story in the video is abstract visually, but completely in line with the lyrics and music. Bravo brothers, you created a timeless masterpiece.This is one of the best music videos (hip-hop or no) during the Renaissance period of hip-hop videos in the early to mid 1990's. R.I.P. DAVE LONG LIVE DE LA SOUL.

[@chrisdurso3325]

So many great lines and verses. Dave's first verse still resonates in todays hip hop culture. Postsas "gun control means using both hand in my land. "A meteor has more rights than my people" neighborhoods hoods cause nobody's neighbors just animals." No wonder where we live is called the projects. Young folk should really take a look at this song man.
