	Beatnuts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The only Latino members of the Native Tongues Posse, they have had long-standing involvement with the crew's activities.
		Early on in their career they produced whole albums for Posse members Common and Chi-Ali.
		Their production is noted as some of the finest and most accomplished, if unheralded, in all of hip-hop, often intricately detailed (as in their finely honed work for Mos Def on two tracks from Black on Both Sides) but more regularly barnstorming, club-friendly, flourish-laden party music.

		In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the New York City-based hip-hop collective the Native Tongues posse kicked out some of the most ill, groundbreaking music of the day.
		Native Tongues members performed together and promoted & collaboated on each other's work (on songs like ATQ's "Scenario," De La Soul's "Buddy," and Jungle Brothers' "Doin' Our Own Dang") as a way of collectively breaking through to the mainstream.
		This playlist includes music from members of the Native Tongues posse.

		Dubbed the Native Tongues posse, the crew boasted a remarkable collection of talented artists that included De La, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, the Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep, Monie Love and Chi Ali, who's currently incarcerated.
		In their heyday, most of the members appeared on each other's respective projects, and the Native Tongue's posse cut "Buddy" remains as one of hip-hop's all-time classics.
		Native Tongues is something more than what people think it is. Native Tongues isn't a product.

		Though the trio was uncomfortable with the hippie label, there was no denying that the humor and eclecticism presented an alternative to the hardcore rap that dominated hip-hop.
		De La Soul quickly were perceived as the leaders of a contingent of New York-based alternative rappers which also included A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, the Jungle Brothers, and Monie Love; all of these artists dubbed themselves the Native Tongues posse.
		Though their style initially earned both critical raves and strong sales, De La Soul found it hard to sustain their commercial momentum in the '90s as their alternative rap was sidetracked by the popularity of considerably harder-edged gangsta rap.

		Following their August 1989 debut, "Description Of A Fool", they had a hit with "Bonita Applebum" a year later, which was apparently based on a real person from their school.
		As members of the Native Tongues Posse they were promoters of the Afrocentricity movement, which set out to make US Africans aware of their heritage, a theme emphasized in the group's music.

	The Daily Californian
		From De La Soul's 3 Feet High And Rising to A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory, the East Coast anti-gangsta Native Tongues posse was reponsible for some of hip-hop's most enduring classics.
		A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, probably the single most gifted rapper of all the Tongues, and Mos Def, a younger rapper clearly inspired by their work, head in different directions on their respective debut solo albums.
		Although he's come relatively late to the game, Mos Def more than anyone else is doing the most to keep the spirit of the Native Tongues alive.

		In college, she adopted the name Queen Latifah and hooked up with Afrika Bambaataa's Native Tongues collective, which sought to bring a more positive, Afrocentric consciousness to hip-hop.
		One year after De la Soul re-drew the map for alternative rap, fellow Native Tongues brothers A Tribe Called Quest released their debut, the quiet beginning of a revolution in non-commercial hip-hop.

		The artists are a tight-knit group that formed in New York City and have given each other props and album appearances ever since.

	Just a Poet With a Soul
		Just a Poet With a Soul is the debut alternative hip hop album by Def Jef, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music), released on Delicious Vinyl[?].
		The album was highly praised upon its first release, with critics enjoying the sociopolitical lyrics that have led some to Def Jef along with De La Soul and other members of the Native Tongues Posse, though he was never a part of the crew.
		Many have called the album a lost classic of hip hop.

		The nine tracks were concise and razor sharp in comparison to the bloated epics being released by the rap mainstream, and the EP was immediately hailed as one of the decade's most important hip-hop releases.
		The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of New York's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 80s coalition of artists including De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest who reaffirmed rap's social agenda.
		This was evident on the manifesto-defining "Concrete Schoolyard" ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), which even provided the troupe with a surprise UK Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998.

	Digable Planets: Beyond the Spectrum: The Creamy Spy Chronicles - PopMatters Music Review
		Digable Planets did not pioneer the gentle, jazzy approach to hip-hop, but they brought it to the radio, and that was no small task.
		Between 1988 and 1990, the members of the Native Tongues posse -- Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest -- each released brilliant, genre-altering albums.
		Working in contrast to the more thudding, angry or materialistic forms of hip-hop, these groups assembled tracks from jazz samples, Fender Rhodes washes and odd non-musical recordings, they rapped with a gentle attack and playful bounce, and they espoused Afro-centric and nonviolent living.

		All four of these albums helped establish the Native Tongues Posse, a group of Afrocentric hip hop artists ideologically inspired by Afrika Bambaataa's Universal Zulu Nation.
		Alternative hip hop soon began to lose its recent stylings for a return to Native Tongues-style old school with hardcore and jazz elements mixed in.
		Mos Def's solo debut, Black on Both Sides (1999), quickly established him as a darling of alternative media for its incendiary politics, while Kweli's solo career took some time to get off the ground; as he didn't appear until 2000's Reflection Eternal, with partner Hi-Tek.

	Mos Def : Black on Both Sides (Instrumentals) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Black on Both Sides strives to not only refine but expand the scope of Mos Def's talents, turning the solo spotlight on his intricate wordplay and nimble rhythmic skills -- but also his increasing eclecticism.
		The main reference points are pretty much the same -- old-school rap, which allows for a sense of playfulness as well as history, and the Native Tongues posse's fascination with jazz, both for its sophistication and cultural heritage.
		But they're supported by a rich depth that comes from forays into reggae (as well as its aura of spiritual conscience), pop, soul, funk, and even hardcore punk (that on the album's centerpiece, "Rock n Roll," a dissection of white America's history of appropriating fl musical innovations).

	Being There
		Both groups were part of the New York-based Native Tongues posse, and for a while it looked like they would remake hip hop in their image, releasing one stellar record after the next.
		Of course, that didn’t happen; Dr. Dre’s The Chronic became the blueprint for the next ten years of rap, and both groups have been releasing records that, while good, have never quite lived up to their crowning achievements.
		And while they’ve earned bragging rights, it seems unnecessarily cruel to follow a shout out to the Jungle Brothers, Latifah, and Quest by rubbing their fellow Native Tongues’ noses in the fact that De La is still making records and they’re not (“The Future.”).

		It's a great party song with its Tanaa Gardner "Heartbeat" beat and the biggest round of the Native Tongues this side of the JBs' "We're Doing Our Own Thang." Where's Chi Ali?

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Aesop Rock, King Poetic?
		Hip-hop legends like Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, Nas and Notorious B.I.G. have been weaving abstract rhymes into their oeuvres for years (albeit less pretentiously), along with left-field heroes like De La Soul, 3rd Bass and the Native Tongues Posse (Q-Tip’s nickname is even “the Abstract”).
		Aesop grants that the vast majority of rap these days, regardless of its visceral appeal, is still lyrically a “glorified way of saying ‘bitches ain’t shit.’” Battle raps and posse tracks often serve to pad out “albums” lacking any unified theme, even in the “underground” scene in which he operates.
		An inextricable part of Aesop’s appeal is the relative lack of such pseudo-macho posturing in his work; in his own words, he doesn’t want to spend his “15 minutes of fame shitting on someone.”
