- From the album "Expansion Team" (2001)
Dilated Peoples is an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. They achieved notability in the underground hip hop community, although they have had little mainstream success in the US, with the exception of the song "This Way", a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West, Xzibit, Chali 2na and John Legend appearing in the music video. They reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart with two tracks, "This Way" and "Worst Comes to Worst." Their members include DJ Babu (producer/DJ), Evidence (MC/producer) and Rakaa (MC). The group also received a publicity spike after their songs were featured in the 2003 video games Need for Speed: Underground and NBA Street Vol. 2.
Its members, DJ Babu from the DJ crew Beat Junkies; Evidence; and Rakaa joined together in 1992 and released "Third Degree" (1997) and "Work the Angles" (1998) on ABB Records, developing a solid fan base in the underground hip hop community. They had previously recorded an album titled Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry (1995) that was never released, although many fans still have it on bootlegged tapes. The group eventually signed with Capitol Records and released The Platform (2000) to more critical acclaim.
The second album, Expansion Team, was released in 2001 led by The Alchemist-produced "Worst Comes to Worst," which utilized a vocal sample from Mobb Deep's "Survival of the Fittest" and a musical sample from William Bell's "I Forgot to be Your Lover". Expansion Team debuted at #8 on the US Billboard R&B Albums chart and #36 on the Billboard 200. The group's third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on the Billboard 200, selling 143,000 copies in the United States. In addition to the Kanye West produced single, "This Way," it featured the singles "Who's Who?" and "Sorry? OK", which were also included as tracks on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart. The fourth album, 20/20, was released in 2006; the debut single, "Back Again", was featured on the Fight Night Round 3 soundtrack. This is the third EA Games soundtrack on which the group has been featured. "Back Again" is also featured on Sony's MLB 06: The Show. In 2012, they collaborated with PlatinumGames to record the track "This is Madness" for the credits of the beat-'em-up video game, Anarchy Reigns. 20/20 was the group's "farewell" album on Capitol Records, ending a four album recording contract. They also work with the underground hip hop group, Global Warning, who originated in Anaheim.
Dilated Peoples are affiliated with fellow West Coast hip hop group tha Alkaholiks. The Liks appeared on The Platform on the track "Right On" and Expansion Team on "Heavy Rotation." The group also collaborated frequently with west coast emcees Defari and Amad Jamal (an Urban Umpires member) and helped to launch their careers. Defari made one appearance on each Dilated Peoples' album: "Ear Drums Pop (Remix)" on The Platform; "Defari Interlude" on Expansion Team; "Closed Session" on Neighborhood Watch; and "Olde English" on 20/20. Dilated Peoples also made multiple appearances on Defari's album Odds & Evens. Another Dilated associate is their long-time producer, the Alchemist, who produced five songs on The Platform, three songs on Expansion Team, four songs on Neighborhood Watch, and two songs on 20/20. Dilated Peoples were featured on a song on the Alchemists' 1st Infantry album. Rakaa has also made guest appearances on the songs "Trance Fat" on Looptroop's album, Good Things, "Zet 't Blauw" from Dutch rapper Jerome XL's album, De laatste dag and "Memory Fades" on St. Cule's album, American Beef.

Guru mon rappeur préféré une présence un charisme unique ..repose en paix 🙏
This is real hip hop 🔥
Today..."I listened to the radio and my oldschool D.J friend did a
5 cut tribute to: HIP-HOP
and mentioned during our era of oldschool iconic legendary rapper's and rap groups we had a voice to a knowledgeable message relayed in our powerful music of rap to the inner circuit masses of HIP-HOP fan's across the world because we stood for something back then
and currently that voice to that message now has been downplayed (stolen) while being washed away from the element's of science, truth, progress, hope, love, pride, dedication, devotion,
unity and strength"!!!!
*(This Was The Legacy of Guru)*
*(Too Black, Proud, Strong)*
*(Power 2tha People)*
*(R.I.P. **#GURU** 4EVER)*
*NOTHIN' LIKE THE OLD$CHOOL*

These guys remind me of myself. They sound 90s as hell but this actually came out in the early 2000s...!!!👍🏾🎤🎧💿🎼🔥
"These guys remind me of myself"
@@Idontcommentonvideos Because I make 90s sounding music in the 21st century too
@@scinnyc I know what you meant.
Your self promotion WHACK
Your avatar WHACK
Your lyrics WHACK
your flow WHACK
Stop posting your shit on every damn video
Ever hear of Jurassic 5? They sounded 80s as hell in the 90s.
@@pungisotu Having an 80s flow in the 90s wasn't that unusual like having a 90s flow in the 2000s. That's why Lupe Fiasco had such a buzz when he first came out. Jurassic 5 were pretty decent though
High School Years!!!!!!!
One of the greatest messages in hip-hop!
The best is sick!!
Александр Балан The (beat) is sick!😉

Definitely one of the best 3 bars classics.
Tribe’s Electric.. and De La’s Stakes.. are far beyond for sure.
Still fire evidence underrated R.I.P GURU
This was a time when there was so much great stuff out there, I let this one slide to the back for a while. I'd never noticed the amount of cameos. That's the family vibe.
Those tees are dangerous 💯
Track takes me back to a simpler time…
Also, evidence was one of few producers on The College Dropout.. I love this beat!
