Dilated Peoples are a hip hop group who have achieved great fame in the underground hip hop community, although their only real mainstream success was the song This Way, a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West. DJ Babu (from the DJ crew Beat Junkies), Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 and released Third Degree and Work the Angles, which were quickly established as favorites in the underground scene and among rap critics. They eventually signed to Capitol Records and in 2000 released The Platform, to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001, led by the Alchemist-produced single Worst Comes To Worst, which sampled from Mobb Deep's Survival Of The Fittest. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart.

Soundbombing Lyrics
Dilated Peoples
My man.. he said.. could he create a soundbomb?
Say thats a good question
* evidence, Im bringin it *
* rakka, iri-science, rapid-fire how I transmit *
* we got catash with that west coast rhymin, bombin.. *
Yes I can.. yes I can..
[evidence]
Most want what they dont have, especially in this game
But on the other side of the rainbow -- yo shits exactly the same
I aim one eye closed, so now youve been exposed
To my scope, an infrared target at night you glow
Got the chance, took it, hype tape thats what they tellin me
Soundboming in stereophone audio fidelity
Flows get took, a simple plan, best-sellin book
And people in the clutch open they mouth too much
I drop bars so hard, the code explodes
And bells ring like don king fights aint worth the dough
Sounds from tones, and licks from quincy jones
Backdrop, my microphone so I can chop down clones
I pull, expand, boom bap, no high hats
To hide behind the fact your wack vocals off track
Droppin verses like this, a pleasure for me to do
Signin off, dilated platform, j-rock and babu
[iriscience]
Its the return of iri-stealth, the intelligence plane
Im picked up by radar, but too late, here comes the rain
I make you feel wingtip audiomatics
I travel the map to any part of the planet
Now word on the street is yall suckers want static
Since most kids are spoiled these days, I let em have it
Land on stage, I see the mic and I grab it
Get the crowd movin side to side, like I panned it
Had to multiply my crew (well thats math)
Subtract or divide your crew (well thats wrath)
What I put inside the bleeds (oh thats hash)
Oh you want a new dick to ride? (go ask tash)
For the djs, I keep a microphone in my palm
And for the people paranoias a weapon so stay calm
For the toys, I take flight again for soundbombing
One-nine-nine-nine like sadat x and common
[tash]
Ahh, catashtra, the gunner from the crew that drunk the beer up
Keep your distance from my mic, this alki stylell fuck your ear up
But cheer up!! thats the way the bottle spills
Djs they think Im shady cause they know I steal the wheels
Cause tash kick the real, kick it with niggaz with no deals
Yall fools aint got no skills, yall need to peep my homey phil
Peep the barbershop, peep defari while you at it
Dj j-rock, babu, and rhettmatic
Cause thats the type of shit catash be pumpin in the volvo
Where homies hittin me up like, nigga whats up with that solo?
I tell em that the object of my whole project
Is mic domination, so it takes concentration
Peep what Im facin, facin r&b the guns
Are you in it with the heart or are you in it for the funds?
Cause tash got the style thats dangerous as mountain climbin
(yo what you doin to em tash? ) right now Im soundbombing
