De La Soul - Keepin' The Faith (Straight Pass)

[boneMone1]

its "just a touch" by luther vandross in the end isnt it?

[dawb86]

Yo, Vinia Mojica never had her own album, but she still managed to make my childhood that much better just doing the hooks. She was like the female equivalent to Nate Dogg in the 90s.

[mandolinoh]

2 people are straight up closet HOMOSEXUALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MMos2007]

I loved this song back in the day

[townsend316]

@flywonderful1 Hey thats my future wife your talking about! Stop that!

[pbykeepthefaith]

and a sample of the Champ the Mohawks too.

[johnhogan2]

I don't know why De La Soul would do these horrible re-writes of their album tracks for singles.  The album version is awesome and this is cruddy.

[CitySkin09]

Peep the Prince sample in this song. It's real subtle but I can hear "DMSR" in the song...

[mcspookytooth]

@CitySkin09 noticed that..nice & sly, like de la..

[bdscavenger]

1st time ever seeing this video at this point in time. really like it. i really slept on all of de la's albums. really nice looking ladies in this video.

[blackyeoman]

Album version is better!

[apestaartje321]

This is just terrible compared to the album version!

[101airbourn]

This has not aged at all.

[armidons]

BOILER ROOM !

[tron192]

This is what hip hop really is here. Having fun!

[daTruChosen]

@tron192 That's why the height of the Golden Age ('87 - '96) was '89 - '93, when it was ALL about fun, or being self-affirmative and positive as hell, thanks to De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, L.O.N.S., Arrested Development, Brand Nubian, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, EPMD, BDP, Eric B. and Rakim, Gang Starr, Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, Hieroglyphics, Ed OG & da Bulldogs, Main Source, Intelligent Hoodlum (before his War Report collabz), Black Sheep, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Heavy D., PRT... etc

[AGLOC313]

Does anyone know the title of a house song with this same whistle in it??

[jpourkav]

@AGLOC313 house music sucks

[daTruChosen]

@jpourkav Maybe now it does, but shit, you can't tell me that if you were born before 1980 that you wasn't checking for basement house jams at yo' Rican friends' houses in the early 90's when that shit was BANGIN'. I was; FUCK THAT, the reggae spots, too, and I'm hip-hop ALL muthafuckin' day. If you were born after '80, then you've got no frame of reference, and ima have to say "Shut the fuck up, Donnie!", and insist that ya' keep it movin'.

[sergiohazerd]

@daTruChosen stfu donnie

[daTruChosen]

@sergiohazerd LOL!

[cybersalad]

Had no idea there was a video for this track!!

[Crispysmith123]

[CitySkin09]

Takes me back to 4th Grade Catholic School in East Phoenix, while other kids were jammin' Turtle Music and Technotronic, this was what I rockin in my tape player all day every day...

[junedeon]

De La, you're my hero!

[Honigkuchenpferd009]

[askerkaca]

dope

[deejaysoulution]

top

[RatarueTV]

I had a shirt like pos.!

[idelle24]

I Fell in love with this because of the Fonda Rae Sample. And new skool says who's de la soul? Who's Fonda Rae? Their loss, our gain!

[pmsan29]

This versions different from the album version!! still tight though.

Man this is a classic jam, I used to have this on cassette and played that thing till it fell apart.

5 stars

[damek666]

yeah it was different as a single when it came out and got played on the radio here too. i can't remember any female vocals at all.

[HaliB75]

It's a remix, not the album version with the "Touch Of Love" Sample.

[orangshoes21]

does anyone know what song that whistling is from in the beggining of the video?

[damek666]

lol :')

[johnygonebad]

Bob James, "sign of the times"

[MrPhilsta]

bob james - sign of the times, check out regulators by warren g for the same sample

[ackwon]

I try to touch your hair, quit saying "NO"

[MacBubbles]

Music is always in a state of evolution. If that were not so, everyone would only be able to listen to classical musicians like Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven.

[Kenanee]

This was the jam, damn I wish things never changed. That's real hiphop

[StoicTwo]

Why am I feelin like 90,91,92,93(Kinda) music these days!?

-Stosa

[fifdaddy]

My Man hot dog dinky!!!

[AUDI500A]

Gotta Love the whole Native Tongues Posse keeping REAL hop on the map

[jons44]

Lol! I love how hip hop back in the

early '90s was all progressive (poverty, gang violence, respect to women, drugs, struggle) and now it's all about money and every female is some skanky dressed whore ready to puff on some wood. What happened?

[StoicTwo]

Dude I couldnt agree more!

-Stosa!

[herculeshernandez]

there was money and whores then... i know what you mean, it was more of a range then, but the "negative" stuff was still present for sure.

[RuuudeBwoyNo1]

Big Brother turned the rap game into a weapon against the very people that created it. self-destruction is the name of the game now...

[Jahbril30]

LOVE IT WISDOM SPEAK GOOD BRUH

[RashaTwain]

I dun know, but I liiiiiiiiiiike it. finally the ladies start playin with the boys.

[radshnoopy12]

[IllyDizzle]

[freshley]

The Fonda Rae sample is awesome, but so is the Bob James sample of "Sign of the Times". You gotta love these guys.

[mcvem]

Does this version appear on anything else but the Millie Pulled A Pistol On Santa single?

[teemack]

i used to have a big crush on that girl singin--- i think her name is vinea moheeca -- prob spelled that wrong. i always wanted her to come out with an album.

[blackexperience]

vinia mojica has sung so many classic hooks on so many classic hip hop songs. it's a shame she never released an album, but she has some singles out there.

[teemack]

what are the singles, are they for sale?

[Jahbril30]

I never understood why she never did either damn shame. But some people make a good damn living just singing on hooks though.

[taaffeman125]

nate dogg, ha

[Jahbril30]

Exactly

[dapluva78]

Vinia mojica has big boom booms lol

[cesarbaca]

That's why she always got those dam big shirts!
