I will take your advice and investigate. I love the Jungle Bros as they also were part of the Native Tongues collective. As for Michael Franti, a big fan of the 'Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy' and the first two Spearhead albums but stopped listening to his stuff afterwards. Maybe I'm missing out but couldn't help feel that his newer stuff was a bit Reggae 'lite'. <br />If you haven't done so already check out the likes of Digable Planets, The Pharcyde or Jurassic 5 they all put the fun back into Hip Hop. While the likes of Gang Starr or Common still gave Rap a positive image without diluting the essence of the genre.flycasualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216911927644223730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29773053816846131.post-59001750975869048292011-07-21T22:49:55.789+01:002011-07-21T22:49:55.789+01:00flycasual...try PM Dawn's album 'Jesus Wep...flycasual...try PM Dawn's album 'Jesus Wept', in particular. 'Dearest Christian' and 'The Bliss Album' get the thumbs up, too. They probably weren't as special as De La Soul but they had something. Hey, Arrested Development, Jungle Brothers and any of Michael Franti's projects all shine a light for positive hip-hop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29773053816846131.post-75455774700210179452011-07-21T21:18:21.995+01:002011-07-21T21:18:21.995+01:00Totally digging this!

I love rappers that are promoting such a positive message because rap is so full of aimless junk and negative ideas.

Your daughters musical indoctrination is well ahead of schedule then.<br /><br />Singing Bear, though the whole De La Soul vibe did spin out some cheap imitators, I remember PM Dawn's 'Set a Drift on Memory Bliss' quite fondly.
