LeonC Native Tongues August special

 

The Native Tongues were a collective of late 1980s and early 1990s hip-hop artists known for their positive-minded, good-natured Afrocentric lyrics, and for pioneering the use of eclectic sampling and later jazz-influenced beats. Its principal members were the Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. The collective was also closely tied to the Universal Zulu Nation.

 

The New York City-based Native Tongues crew was a collective of like-minded hip hop artists who would help bring abstract and open-minded lyricism that addressed a range of topics—from spirituality and modern living to race, sex, and just having fun—to the mainstream. Together with the use of eclectic samples that would take on an increasingly jazzy sound, they would be pioneers of so-called conscious hip hop, alternative hip hop, and jazz rap.

 

Core members

Jungle Brothers (Mike Gee, Sammy B, Afrika Baby Bam)

A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White)

De La Soul (Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo)

Lucien Revolucien

Monie Love

Queen Latifah

Black Sheep (Dres and Mista Lawnge)

Chi-Ali

Fu-Schnickens†

 

This hour-long session  features some of their best work, and shows another side of Hip hop that is often forgotten but very influential. enjoy!
