Digable Planets is an American hip hop trio formed in 1987, composed of Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, Mariana "Ladybug Mecca" Vieira, and Craig "Doodlebug" Irving. They are known for their jazz rap and alternative hip hop style.🎸📀🎶🖤

The group was founded when Butler and Irving met in Philadelphia, with Vieira joining later. Their debut album, Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) (1993), featured the hit single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)," which peaked at #15 on the Billboard charts and won a Grammy. Their follow-up album, Blowout Comb (1994), was more political and less commercial but praised by critics.

Digable Planets disbanded in 1995 but reunited in 2005 for a tour and a compilation album. They toured again from 2009 to 2011 and reunited for performances in 2015 and 2016, releasing the live album Digable Planets Live in 2017.

Sugarhill Gang: Others were more influential, but maybe only Run-D.M.C. were more impactful among groups of hip-hop’s first 15 years than the Sugarhill Gang. “Rapper’s Delight” wasn’t technically the first hip-hop record, but it was the first most suburban Americans ever heard, and the first to cross over to the top 40, peaking at No. 36 on the Hot 100. With a disco groove borrowed from Chic’s “Good Times” (and some lyrics controversially swiped from Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers), the instant classic remains one of the most important and enduring records in American popular music, spawning countless quotes and mini-catchphrases that are still part of hip-hop’s shared language today. And while it remains the group’s signature song, subsequent hits “Apache” and “8th Wonder” were also iconic early-’80s party-starters, sampled and referenced for decades to come.🐐👑🖤🎶

Pete Rock & CL Smooth:They only recorded together for four years, but Mount Vernon, New York’s Pete Rock & CL Smooth left an indelible imprint on ’90s hip-hop. Rock’s mix of tight drums and inspired funk, R&B and jazz crate-digging made his production style one of the standard-bearers for East Coast rap. That combined with CL’s dexterous, commanding and soulful flows made sets like breakout 1991 EP All Souled Out and all-killer 1992 debut LP Mecca and Soul Brother among the most essential listens of their era. The duo’s signature song remains an absolute all-timer: “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.),” an impossibly poignant, smiling-through-the-tears elegy for late Heavy D & The Boyz dancer “Trouble T. Roy” Dixon — raised to the heavens by the greatest sax loop in rap history.🐐👑🖤

UTFO's iconic hit "Roxanne, Roxanne" was initially considered a throwaway B-side track to "Hangin' Out" and was written at the last minute at the suggestion of B-Fine from Full Force. Despite its unexpected origin, the song sparked the "Roxanne Wars" and became a major hit that propelled the group's fame.

Long Time Comin By Bizzle Album Tough Love & Parables
Lyrics
Umm Lord I'm feeling so misunderstood
They acting like I'm bad for tryna do something good.
I'm reading all the hating that's twisting my stomach up
How am I to love em past the hate?
And let them know you love the hood
You told us love the orphans
These kids don't got no fathers
Grew up playing cops and robbers
And now the diving cops in robbery
A baby's getting murdered while they still inside they mommas
Feeling like we've lost em and its kinda like my job to find them
And they used to hearing lies
They feel like I'm lying
They think I'm tryna shine
But inside I feel like I'm dying
Society left us behind
They was tired of trying
You can save them but they keep denying it
They Private Ryan's
Something I'd avoid
Some feel it be the drug
That's only temporary
What they need is your love
I see a change coming
I gotta say something
This just some medicine for pain I'm in.
() Original sound track
Seems like the love is little
But the hate is plenty
The world is on your shoulders
I know the weight is heavy
I work the 9-5
I feel your pain if any
In it for the money
Dummy I ain't made a penny
This for your kids and mine
Gotta reverse the damage
It hurts to fathom how young
we letting hearses have em
how many kids would be alive
if it wasn't for em throwing up a hecka gang signs?
You tell me if I'm lying
Straight up that's real talk
You see the ground that's real chalk
These teenaged get peeled off
The big block casket get silked off
And they can only learn what we teach em
If its only 15 seconds that I'm getting I'm a reach em
Lets Go
() Original sound track
I feel it coming
I'm sick and tired of running
Somebody gotta stand up for a change
I know you want it does anybody want it
Ain't you tired of the same old thang
Cause I done been down every road
That you can take now
Only one that leads to change
I've been then there, done that,
fell down, jumped back
People change
