KNOW YOUR HIP HOP HISTORY.. DIGABLE PLANETS

Do you know Hip Hop music or you Just listen to it?  Its not enough to have a whole lot of rap songs on your phone or IPod and be slamming them with Beats By Dre headphones and think you are Hip Hop 100%. Have you ever heard of  Rap group DIGABLE PLANETS? Do you only listen to Hip Hop music of today? Lol! If you do, its like living and not knowing your ancestral history,  if you now listen to Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Big Sean and the rest of the new industry famous, then you dont know where they are coming from.You are eating a meal without getting the real flavour. I bring to you one of the foundations of Hip Hop Music.

Digable Planets is one of the early rap groups of the 90s that championed the cause for Alternative Hip Hop, mainly known for their fusion of jazz into Hip Hop music creating a smooth and cool blend of the two genre of music, this made their style absolutely unique from other rap songs during an era when Gangsta rap was prevalent in the Hip Hop community. The group consist of  Butterfly,Doodlebug and  Ladybug Mecca  the female emcee in the group, and together they were exceptionally remarkable as a team, matching the unique sound of their music with their cool and laid back rap style, this ingenuity won them a Grammy award in 1995 for best rap group, i would note here that during this period of rap music it was ''easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rapper to win a Grammy'', so you can imagine the quality of music that this group was giving their fans. 

I personally was in love with their song ''Where Am From'' but they were popularly known for the track '' Cool Like That''  Its a sad thing the group disbanded and that was the end of a great Hip Hop movement but their legacy lived on through the advent and success of THE FUGEES, who were a trio of  two guys and a girl like Digable Planets,they enjoyed massive popularity soon after DP faded out. Hip Hop Lovers who knew Digable Planets will forever respect their art and the legacy they left behind for Hip Hop music. Today, Hip Hop has been broken down to various sub genres but we give credit to Digable Planets for being bold enough back then to venture Hip Hop into new horizons and was successful. Go ahead, Google them,watch them on YouTube/VEVO and and get to know the history of Hip Hop and the warriors who took it to the mainstream.
