  • One's original language(s), usually what's spoken around the house or neighborhood.

  • Sometimes singular, sometimes plural. A collective of rappers, dating back to the late 80s: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Jungle Brothers might be considered the nucleus. At various times, Queen Latifah, Black Sheep, and Simone "Monie Love" Johnson were members. They all appeared on each others albums and videos. For a while. One big happy, or dysfunctional, family, depending on season.
