Disable Planets were seen as a group at the forefront of an image Hip Hop was supposed to be. Cool like that was top 15 on Billboard, their album went gold and the group were still in a happy place. All things looked bright for the future of Hip Hop as long as we had groups like this creating. What I like most about Digable Planets were while they certainly had the opportunity to excel in a music industry that at some point began to illuminate and sort after how many albums did you sell or what could make them the most money, they stayed true to the art form of hip hop and didn’t compromise their creative journey just to be the highest selling artist. For them they were creators through music that respected the listeners and wanted to give us music lasting longer than a hit song of the summer or billboard topping single to propel their sales. In the end that thinking may have hurt them, as music did evolve, and a leading element of its evolvement was finding ways to best capitalize financially of the art being put out and only interested in artist willing to play the game. Digable Planets only release 2 albums together that were both received well critically, but shortly after the second album, they disbanded and hip hop was robbed of great music that could’ve lasted the rest of the 90s.
