Review by Angeline.

Le Da Soul 20 Years Of De La Soul: A Hip-Hop Tribute That Stands the Test of Time Released in 2009, Le Da Soul 20 Years Of De La Soul is a tribute album that feels like flipping through a scrapbook of hip-hop history. With its conscious style and nods to De La Soul’s groundbreaking influence, this project—helmed by various artists under ThePressPlayShow.com label—offers a fresh take on some iconic tracks. It’s not trying to replace the originals but instead gives fans a chance to hear these classics reimagined with new energy. Let’s talk about two standout tracks: “Me Myself and I” and “Breakadawn.” First up, “Me Myself and I.” This one hits different when you hear it covered here. The beat still has that funky groove we all know, but there’s something rawer about the delivery. You can tell the artist really connected with the lyrics, almost like they’re living them for the first time. It makes you appreciate how timeless the message is—staying true to yourself no matter what. Honestly, it stuck with me because it reminds me of those days back in high school when I’d blast the original on repeat during long bus rides home. Then there’s “Breakadawn,” which just oozes soul. Whoever tackled this track brought their A-game. They kept the smooth flow intact while adding their own twist, making it feel both familiar and brand-new at the same time. There’s a moment near the end where the vocals kind of fade into this dreamy instrumental outro—it gave me chills. Tracks like this prove that good music doesn’t need bells and whistles; sometimes simplicity speaks louder than anything else. Of course, the album isn’t without its quirks. Some might say certain covers don’t quite live up to the magic of the originals, and yeah, maybe a few tracks lean too experimental. But hey, that’s part of the charm. It’s less about perfection and more about celebrating an era of hip-hop that shaped so many of us. If I had to sum it up? Le Da Soul 20 Years Of De La Soul isn’t just another tribute record—it’s a love letter to conscious rap and the legacy of De La Soul. Listening to it feels like catching up with an old friend who still knows how to surprise you after all these years. And honestly? If this album doesn’t make you dig out your old CDs or fire up Spotify to revisit the originals, nothing will. Oh, and here’s a random thought—how wild is it that a genre built on rebellion and self-expression keeps finding ways to reinvent itself? Guess that’s why we keep coming back for more.
