Jeff and Chi Ali are not the same people. Jeff is Trugoys nephew or cousin. De la are good friends of mine that’s the only reason why I know that (lol). I also do a lot of graphic design for them. I did the “De La Soul is Dead, Ring Ring Ring…, and the Satursday’s covers as well as the De La Mixtape.

Hmmmmm — is “Jeff” rilly Chi Ali? Who knows the answer to this?

Damn — we gotta do some hip-hop investigative reports! (like on GZA’s first album).

Is hip hop dead? I mean, I like some current artists, but it’s moreso that the artists I liked from back-then are still doin’ shit now (Ghost, Doom, Madlib, etc.). But I’m an old man — y’all youngstas got any suggestions for a gran’pa?

Re the “Jeff” comment… I always thought that Jeff (the Brainwashed Follower) and Chi Ali were the same kid.

Listen to De La’s “Brainwashed Follower” then Black Sheep’s “Pass the 40.” I swear it’s the same kid.

mARC,
so… you listed some pretty tight artists there. Diggable Planets, Ghostface? Not gonna lie, thats ill. However, what does you listing off your favorite hip hop artists have to do with this at all? I mean, this is about Native Tongues Posse and great cover art from great albums of a specific time period and cultural movement. Tell me what Jean Grae has to do with that. Thats all. Native till death. Face that Moment of truth.

Rick!

man it’s funny how no matter how much love and shine is put into an article, someone ALWAYS has something negative to say. Corrections and/or feedback don’t require hate. But then again some people don’t outgrow their hater stage until later on in life. Either way we all love this music. Well i say, THANK YOU for showing love to the Native Tongues and this mag is dope.

To Andrew Emery:

Yikes! Our bad, I guess…. hip Hop Connection — the U.K. rap mag? Cool… Plagarism unintentional, fa’ real… If you wrote in the HHC with RA the Rugged Man on the cover about Quas’ 1st album, I read yer shit….

Anyhow, apologies…. think of it as subliminal flattery or summat…. the appropriate authorities have been notified!
