I agree here. I saw De La Soul on the Jeru/Shadow/Latyrx tour and i must
say I thought it was great. True, they did use some generic call and
response lines, but other than that they had a great stage presence, and
the DJ for tht group (Im blanking on his name right now) was AMAZING. He
did a solo set before DE La came on, and it put DJ Shadow to shame.
Now, maybe compared to the roots de la soul is not that good; I dont
know, I havent seen the roots yet. But, compared to Jeru, de la soul is
the bomb. (we all remember the jeru thread dont we...)
