THANK YOU for this upload! I had this on an old ass VHS, that had the end of De La Soul's performance cut off because of our budget VCR. Real talk... I'm a BIG De La Soul fan, but I have nonidea what that song was they were doing as the credits rolled (after "Ring Ring Ring"). If anybody can help me out, I'd be very grateful!

This was the first time we saw hiphop with a band.

[@williemakeit2346]

Stetsasonic did it back in the late 80’s

[@kyser3ify]

@williemakeit2346 not really, I think they had a drummer, but I never seen them performing with a band. They would just say it.

[@williemakeit2346]

@ in this 1988 clip you see a drummer and keyboardist along with a DJ. Pretty much a live trio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYPahZRtgNeVmJosi=QJRFw8npZP1Bq3Xr

[@kyser3ify]

@williemakeit2346 yeah like I said. This was the first time we seen hiphop with a band.

[@crb640]

Never knew

[@gregorygriffin6341]

I remember this like the back of my hand. This was a game changer. Some years later we would get a hip-hop band from Philly. Can you tell me who they are????

[@robertjohnson7614]

The legendary Roots crew of course. 👊🏾

[@bonitaoestranho]

Brand New Heavies had the samething goin' on, just singin'/R&B & not rappin'

[@funkitblog6257]

@ The Goats

[@williemakeit2346]

The very first rap recordings were done with live bands. And Stetsasonic did the live band thing in the late 80’s.
