9 years later and I just ordered my LP of The Platform today. Amazing group.

[@osmaniqbal8354]

Love Dilated. Opened my mind up to what hip-hop could be, wordplay and lyricism. That late 90s independent area is so good, both west coast (Dilated, Rasco, Lootpack, Alkaholiks etc) and east coast (Rawkus, Def Jux, Fat Beats).

PLANET ASIA

[@osmaniqbal8354]

@@Francisco-nq7dv Planet Asia in the late 90s and early 00s was untouchable, especially on features. Recently re-listened to Cali Agents' first album and it's so fun, really took me back.

[@greatscott2401]

[@SoCalDude805]

Worst comes to worst, my peoples come first!

[@dpalma3623]

Finally the Dilated Peoples interview.

[@deafender8274]

These guys are responsible for me first getting into hip hop. Legit legends, all of them. Directors of Photography is some of their best work in my opinion

[@patricksargent5718]

I first found about about dilated in 1999 or 98... i still love the platform album... i had it on tape when it first came out in 2000... i bought it agian a few months back... I got my first blackbook in 1999 i was 15... basement los angeles record shop in shermon oaks and 24/7 hip hop on melrose in 2000 were my foundation... the internet has killed the scene to me.. its not a culture, back in the days of in-stores and shows, it was a culture nowadays its all about money.. i'm in houston texas and hip hop is freakin dead out here... peace and god bless you all JESUS SAVES NATIONS... BY THE WORLD FAMOUS PSWIF ONE SINCE 1999.. PEACE!

[@deanivan3951]

[@doognessmonster1625]

[@nazdynate553]

[@elcronistadeeoficial3629]

Maybe...

[@TheOmitl]

Born and raised

[@cyphaemcee]

Album of the year def has that d.p. sound but elevated

[@Qonvex]

its good im not sure about album of the year though. I think Strange Journey vol 3 by Cunninlynguists blows DOP out of the water.

[@cyphaemcee]

i dun know its jus everything album goes so well together been awhille since is played a whole album start to last...they got so much wiser and matured as artist this shit go hard!!!

[@AngeloBoca1]

Finally somebody discussed wack push button DJs and weak MCing.

[@fvckwhatyouthink2907]

Rakaa has that cool cat vibe for sure...

[@thefanman2954]

Ken Kaniff Is My favorite

[@linascott7821]

i so agree this new school hiphop is not the same , you have kendrick lamar and logic and i feel they have an older flavor with a modern personal twist as opposed to chief keef and shy glizzy i just dont like or feel it tbh..

[@idlepresence]

Yo for the love of hiphop I did a version of that song by evidence. Confidence. #real emcees. No money off that shit. Djing must be testing yo

[@V59971]

TRACY FINEEEEEE! DAMMN

[@KenTheAdventurer]

Anyone else notice that the acronym for Directors of Photography is DOP :)

[@asehueman2784]

Again scrolling through the greats, the god fathers and god mothers of the greatest genre of music since motown, and more disrespect from kids. Why don't they move on why do they have to post hateful negative shit, well that is where they come from.

[@Jiron06]

[@jonathanmalverde6796]

[@jttimer6983]
