TRUTH

[@LapsedPacifist79]

They’re blowing up, I stumbled across them a few months back, handful of subscribers and here we are. Talent, determination and a big respect for the classics have brought them far. Refreshing to see guys who weren’t even alive at the time have such knowledge and love for this stuff. I share them at every opportunity and everyone should as well.

[@AllanWhite]

@@LapsedPacifist79 Same, just found them a few months back. I think their stripped-down, deeply informed sets really show how great the original work is. Love how they respect it

[@LapsedPacifist79]

@@AllanWhite Amen mate. Was also pleasantly surprised to find out they’re British as well.

[@johnnydtheprodigy3047]

I was about to go to bed when the algorithm showed me this. I've shared to my socials, DM'd it to the homies (who are all mid 40's now) and I'm just chilling in bed remembering how good the hip hop was in the 90's. The golden era!

Real talk. Nothing better.

[@ant_the_rant]

I legit feel sorry for generations who are not familiar with these Hiero fellas. My son is fully versed because he was raised on this good music.

[@irritablysavvy]

They are exceptional artists but you don't have to shame people's taste in music, lol. Not everyone is a connoisseur...

[@ant_the_rant]

@@irritablysavvy Yes as a matter of fact you do. We all should shame people with bullshit ass taste until it goes away and we get better and better. Each one teach one.

[@MarkJenkins-t7y]

I love hip hop. I’m not familiar with these guys and for you to say you feel sorry for me sounds pathetic 😂 there’s tons of better rappers out there. If they were as superior as you claim I would have heard of them. You sound like an arrogant fool.

All I can say, as a middle aged 50 year old hip hop head, is this is a classic. Souls was my fav group, Hiero reigned supreme. This is hip hop!

[@ErikCantu-g7i]

Word nice bro

[@TheTrafficJamMusic]

93 til. I was there. Souls had me from jump. Intelligent, witty, clever and clean. Eric B & Rakim, Guru Jazzmatazz soooo much great stuff from this time. This was the golden era. SO glad you guys are showin these youngsters how its properly did. 🤙🏽

It’s a crime that rap and hip hop have moved away from live music like this, so much better

[@collinscl2726]

Took my GF and her 16 year old daughter to see Digable Planets two weeks ago and they were out of control good, the band too! They loved every second of it, 16 year old's lil goth heart was even vibing

[@afroboyjr8476]

relax. hip-hop was never "live music like this" to move away from it. All of these songs are sample-based

[@baulzzzzzzz2278]

@@afroboyjr8476 being sample based and being live are wholly different things. This is a live band I understand the semantic point you’re making but you’re being willfully ignorant. Modern rap makes beats they don’t construct anything anymore using anything live. Yes they still sample but there was a time where they sampled real playable music. Now it’s ALL digital, almost no artist could walk on a stage with a live band and play their music but…. Wu could Del could The vast majority of artists that made the music what it was could have, because it was still music. Rap has become tone and beat construct meant to appeal to the greatest common denominator, and music that can’t be performed without 5 sound guys, an auto tuned mic, and a bunch of pyro to make the stage look fuller

Hah same, is it because of the RSD vinyl?

[@cedricwilford]

@@fergin4979 No, I have the vinyl on my wishlist but haven't gotten it yet. My kids keep showing me new hip hop and asking me to show them great stuff from I was their age. Fear Itself was one of the first on the list.

Souls of Mischief spoke to me as a kid, this makes me feel so happy. Hip Hop shows that use live instruments stay undefeated.

Kids will never know how good it was, have to live vicariously through KZbin vids. 90s hip-hop or GTFO not knowing what autotune is.

[@c1assic2310]

Old school hip-hop getting more and more attention under the youngsters. Sadly still the minority but I think lots of people getting annoyed from all this bibidi ba bidi autotune s**t that always sounds the same. Back to the old school back to your roots my friends

[@RachelTurner81]

[@JonesySurvived]

@@RachelTurner81 I don't think you understand what the word boomer actually means (like a lot of people). His\her parents were the boomer generation. 90s heads are either Gen X or Millennials. You'd be better calling him a boom-bapper XD.
