TheMeaningOfDope

This tape was heavy in my walkman when it first dropped. Yeah I said it..cassette tape in a sony walkman bopping down the hallways in my high school on some “you clowns have no idea about the shit I’m on”. I went to a super-corny high school where I was one of the few people who really listened to hip-hop at the time. I think it might be time to download this album again and take it in since I forget every track except the singles and that one where Butterfly gets all pro-choice on that ass. Anyways, here’s a video of them performing on In Living Color during their heyday.

Ps. Butterfly later changed his name to Ish. Like really, can that be considered an upgrade? Go from being named after one of the softest insects to a short form of your real name which in slang terms is a piece of doodoo. No dis, I genuinely ride for Digable Planets on both of their albums. Just in retrospect, he had the softest name out the crew.

Pps. I saw Digable in concert in 2005/2006 and Ish had all new verses to the old tracks that were absolutely fire. He totally threw off all the concert goers who wanted to rap along with his verses since they were 100% different, but he has way more spit in him now. I was impressed and hoped that they’d have a new project out by now.

Ppps. Here’s audio of the only post-digable song I can think of that Ish is on. Swing aka the B-side of Luchini that no one ever plays(except Skratch Bastid and Dj Serious) even though it’s just as dope as Luchini.
