The Digable Planets are an Alt Hip Hop Group that gained exposure in the early 90s, I was barely exposed to them last year. Although minute traces of their music can be heard in current hip hop songs such as 'Candy' by Snoop Dogg and 'Yay Area' by E-40, these samples do not do them any justice. For the Digable Planets have had a larger impact on hip hop other than being "to rap what key be to lock x 1,000,000" or "drippin' like water x 1,000,000". These brilliant lines come from brilliant songs that give us a genuine glimpse into the stark truths of reality in America's streets. They fluently speak the language of noncomformity and in a world where people are so quick to judge, they are a fresh sound for those with eyes and ears of multiple perspectives.
Digable Planets... So dope that they're gay.
