In that song, Pos drops an official proclamation with the following lyrics:Joyous words for anybody who had followed the sparsely released but always-excellent music from the collective known as the Native Tongues. The Tongues provide sexual innuendos artistically and gracefully. They have hits. December 26, 2010 12/26/10. It’s basically a victory lap that would help bring Tribe more success but that ultimately helped doom the Native Tongues. Pos raps that he’s only 19. As Phife would say on Beats, Rhymes, and Life, the Native Tongues were a “group of people that all enjoyed being around each other and going to parties together. There is nobody mailing it in on this track.Phife sums it up best with his opening verse when he says, “De La Soul is on a higher conscious tip than every one else. Ushering in a new era of hip-hop that downplayed violence and sexual exploits, the New York City-based Native Tongues took the rap world by storm in the late '80s and early '90s.
Pos kicks that drop your briefcase and go dance at the skating rink shit while Dove brings in Mr. Sprinkler talking about Zip-a-de-doo-dah. Again, the crew wasn’t just an enlightened group of peaceful positivity. They partied. They had sex. The record came about because De La Soul just so happened to be recording in the same studio as Tribe. Everyone knows “Flavor of the Month” but here the Tongues were back on the sexual tip again as the name implies and the lyrics definitely illustrate. Phife is missing but joins everyone on the remix which also features Monie Love dropping a verse and Queen Latifah singing a hook.
Q-Tip was cutting up New Birth’s African Cry and specifically the lyrics “Took away our native tongues.” Q-Tip kept cutting the record back and forth back and forth and at that moment, the present members joked about how they were the Native Tongues because everyone seemed to speak the same language. That’s what made them special. Its principal members are the Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. For the Charles Berlitz book, see If you’re old enough, recall the naive early-'90s moment when young rappers from I love Hip Hop. This posse cut from the album had a few unique moments for the crew. Here, she enlists English rapper Monie Love and the first ladies of the Tongues did their thing lyrically. It’s not however done in an obviously dirty or perverted way. There’s a group for that.
Dove stays true to the Native Tongues spirit in his bars. They were balanced. I mean Black Sheep were talking about doggystyle before Snoop ever came around as Dres suggests a little “woof woof” after showing this chick Mr. Lawnge (pronounced looong). They were literally speaking their own language, a rap language, that the world caught wind of and to this day, want to speak also. And they were somewhat cheesy but given the year – 1991 – they could probably be forgiven. Because of that, they can just jump up and rip and each does. The tracks are similar in that they are both extended metaphors about girls and how much the crew loves them some “buddies.” Though it’s not ever explicitly stated, the emcees drop hints of fornication, orgies, oral sex, and their own D’s (referred to as that) and ”jimmies” throughout. And like they say, “you can’t beat that with a baseball bat.”In 1992, Chi Ali, the youngest member of the crew, would release his debut album which was produced by Black Sheep’s Mr. Lawnge and the Beatnuts. "And Hip Hop gave me the way and something to say/And all I took in return is a second look" Atmosphere - Party for the Fight to Write The track, off the classic Tribe album, is probably the Tongues second most well-known song and it has so many one-liners and quotable lyrics.First, Phife Dog opens with the Bo Jackson line.
