It's a gem of a hip-hop album that should be in every music fan's collection

That's a ridiculous generalization. There are people who use this site who only listen to classical music, I mostly listen to prog/psychedelic rock.

I never have and, never will have any desire to listen to hip-hop so, it definitely should not be in my collection.

A bit of an overreaction methinks... And a snobby one at that!

I don't like hip-hop. If you think that's snobby, that's your problem, not mine...

I don't criticise other people, for not liking certain kinds of music.

I don't like hip-hop.

Sounds like you've written off an entire genre because of a ridiculous generalized view

Did you actually read past the click-bait headline before reacting, incidentally?

sorry ,but i know well DeLaSoul and it never took me as a great hip hop band but just a english way of , makin`rap music sell like in mainstream channels only ,i know they were considered by many as the band from The U.K. but listen to it well, doesn´t seem to me any hip hoping to be by luck so many times refered, i know real hip hop bands that didn´t achieve any major laqbel as they were really hip hop i remenber some guys that have an album by Alternative Tentacles records ,maybe the only band of this so kicked style of expression but they sure desereved it ,but why ?with so many great groups that made it great and forgotten in time . incovenient truth?maybe? for sure!
