In the annals of hip-hop history, few performances capture the essence of an era like De La Soul's 1996 set at New York City's Tramps nightclub. Recorded on May 16, 1996, this electrifying show was immortalized in the live album Live at Tramps, NYC, 1996, released in 2004. The performance at Tramps showcased De La Soul's dynamic stage presence and their ability to connect with the audience. The trio—Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo—delivered a setlist that spanned their influential career, blending thought-provoking lyrics with infectious energy. The night was further elevated by guest appearances from some of hip-hop's finest! Before achieving solo fame, Mos Def joined De La Soul for a rendition of "Big Brother Beat," offering a glimpse into his burgeoning talent. Common lent his lyrical prowess to tracks like "The Bitch in Yoo" and "The Bizness," adding depth to the performance. Fellow Native Tongues members, the Jungle Brothers, also reunited with De La Soul for a spirited performance of their classic collaboration, "Buddy." For those eager to witness this iconic concert, the full performance is now available below thanks to a recent video link update...
