Its religion that help create the stereotypes. Intolerence of others a theme with every religion, you either believe in what they believe or they'll subject you to fear.

[MrAlvarado559]

Why cant this song just replay itself! :/

[BeauFosho05]

That bassline is a killer!!!! Should've put a bit of phase on it but it's classic regardless!

[mrmarcus1]

this beat is stupid krazy.

[17Dat]

Stereotypist are an abomination agianst God. Reguardless of the fact God created everyone different, they are all equal in his eye sight and thus treats them as human beings. I am African-American yet love Punk rock, heavy metal, and country. All you fucking stereotypist listen up and listen good, I am a negro and I am terrible at basketball (fuck the sport), I have high mannerisms, love Asian girls!, friendly to any ethnicity and cannot rap. Translation: fuck you...

[bountyhunter40]

@17Dat well said bro well said

[Pomaori]

@17Dat God didnt create shit, its the ignorance of humans that purports those stereotypes. Religion doesnt help it does the opposite just helps to further difference.

[sixfoot0]

@17Dat ILMBAO . RIGHT ON ! HAHAHAHHAHA



[didma]

[YungBetts]

This is why i don't buy into that "People who MADE good music back in the day, don't have to continue to make good music beacuse they paid their dues" B.S. LOOK AT WHAT DE LA'S BEEN DOING FOR 2 DECADESSSSSS!!!!!!!! STILL MAKING CLASSICS. SMFH

[BigTiggaR]

damn who else used this beat? i just can't remember

[MrStockford1]

@BigTiggaR i dont know but if the production is from young rj id look toward slum village, black milk, frank and dank, or some other of those detroit soul cats. most likely sv.

[BigTiggaR]

@MrStockford1

yes slum village came to my mind...but it's ok if i don't find it because de la is doing everything right :D

thx anyways

[juanonehh]

SIMPLIFY DOPE!!!!

[MdaRuler]

De la aint better than WU.. never!

they are equal tho', in my book. De la keeps shit fresh, WU keeps shit gritty as fuck!

[cleosole]

These Kings will never get their respect. Always hot music Relatable stuff. Grown Hip hop. No pop stuff Here. Love it . Down to the beats and lyrics. Thanks for the post.

[tintalatx]

My opinion:

i don't think Wu is in it for tha money

De La isn't better than Wu,

they are just different.

Both are great!

[Viostacca]

@twztub Awesome and pure rap bassline ;)

[HImynameis303]

boring

[watch9366]

i agree totally with 718273 de la soul makes music without compromising their integrity and definitely able to change with the times...i've been listening to de la since 1988 when i first heard "plug tunin". Actually, i was in college(waco, tx.) at the time and i had the song on a mixed tape and when my crew heard it i had superstar status from then on...i also brought "potholes" to the school when it dropped and was loved even more.......delasoul from the soul number one unanimously.

[goraddy]

Never hard this song til now. Crazy tune

[Bboy012]

@goraddy Same. It's a shame. But better late then never.

[southjerseysfinest]

you speak da truth charlie

[mattVISTAsounds]

RJ IS THE MAN FOR THIS MAN and de la defeats a tribe in my opinion...the tribe's a bit overrated...STILL GREAT but not touchin de la soul lyrically

[thefirsthead]

@mattVISTAsounds i wouldnt say ttribe is overratted, but tip n phife arent touching dave n pos on the mic ur def rite about that..these 2 r in my top 5 mcs..no paticular order...PAC, POS, DAVE, GZA, BLACK THOUGHT

[mrcheereo]

@thefirsthead Dont get me wrong. I love De LA. Always have. Their one of my fav groups of all time. But as far as them being in the top 5?......nah. My top 5 changes so mush so I wont say what they are. But De La has never been super lyrical. And I DO think tip and Phife are just as good.

[thefirsthead]

@mrcheereo de la has never been super lyrical...was that a joke?real hip hop is about every day life..something that touches the soul..if ur saying de la dosent have that u need to put down the records..name me 10 mcs other than the 3 i named that even come close to pos and daves skill...dont worry ill wait..

[mrcheereo]

@thefirsthead I like De La. I have most of thier albums. I'm not about to get into a dispute about a group that we both like. I Said there not the MOST lyrical and its true. Doesnt mean their not good or one of the best. So stop puttin my words out of contex. When I say lyrical, I mean like Mos Def, Gift of Gap, Common. If u dont know what I mean....then forget it. The fact is....I love De LA.

[GraffitiSlammer]

ONE Of the best Hip Hop groups. . . I mean c'mon, CYNE is the shit!

[TheLowEndTheory]

i had this song on repeat when i was driving to san diego all the way from columbus

[LadyJam07]

@TheLowEndTheory definitely feelin that

[tryfekta]

de la is forever..... ill beat, ill lyrics, ill flow, ill track overall...DE LA SOUL FOREVER SON!!!!

[jaybellyrub]

This one of the best de la track I ever heard

Classic

[iDC2BH]

i agree....De la Soul is forever.....

[blackpajamas1]

damn this is so good

[eldMM]

and we won't stop rockin till we retire

since the economy is such in dire staits that isn't an option

if only i rocked for a living!!

Pleased de la soul won't retire though.

[bustamo321]

i wonder where is this instrumental

[snoopdog44144]

@bustamo321 ..what album was this on

[matzomaniac]

lovely....

[presence54]

nice.......

[viciousLUA]

'we won't stop rockin' til we retire'

gotta love De La Soul.

[MrOne1086]

real shit

[jOARhannes]

who gives a shit if someone writes hat he or she is just 14 but allready listenin to this....get some pubichair!

[devmiles]

you gotta give dela so much credit for keeping it real and fresh.

when hip hop turned to the masses dela still had their own style and sound, brilliant.

RSPCT!! from amsterdam

[TheRETROKID1980]

where can i get this cd or mp3

[mikebmcproducer]

HEY DE LA!!!!! WHEN WE GONNA GET AT Funky T.O.W.E.L.? Been wantin it for sometime. Hook us up!!!

[MrKiko33]

bitch ass

[elegantrenaissance]

Love De La but Tribe is still the best group of all time

[mikeehokkaido21]

@elegantrenaissance agreeed. sampling was more dope, songs were more original, rhymes were more creative.

[iyf1]

Raw Crack.

[mrmaoam]

amazing track, first verse is amazing.

[andwho78]

Such an amazing group with an awesome back catalogue & they're still making top notch music... we're blessed.

[HiphopJunk86]

If someone got an instrumental of this.. holla at me!!

[dmh1069]

if a group can help someone grow up as a man, they deserve the hip hop title OF WHICH THEY ALLLLLLLRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAD­DDYYY OWNED!!!!! and thats DE LA!!! god bless

[Smokerofdedank]

Just saw them at coachella..they threw it down on the main stage like no one else there! De La FOREVER 22 years and RUNNIN>>> get sum funk in ur life motherfunkers

[cassaroll]

Why does everybody have to compare group's/ rapper's just stop it, dig the goood shit.........square's live in boxes

[illicitshiznit]

I can't even believe people are putting WU and De La in the same category. 2 completely different crews- De La has NEVER been gangsta. What planet are you guys from?

I'll tell you exactly why DeLa is better, it's because you can STILL go see them live. When was tha last time WU was together in full? thank you. I love Wu, but De La sends messages where WU is just in it for the cash.

[7thvenom]

@illicitshiznit  PREACH MY DUKE PREACH !!! U MONEY WITH THAT SON !!

[mrcheereo]

@illicitshiznit That comment of urs couldnt be further then the truth. 1st of all....I saw Wu as a whole in August. Yea, last month. Second of all, how the hell can u say Wu is in it for the cash? Have u heard them ever use autotune? Wu is respected by almost all artist because they are so innovative and they dont follow the trend. Wu has always kept it real and original. And if u say they havent sent messages then u aint listenin. Emancipation proclamation. PLO style. What planet are YOU from?

[karlkbrown]

@mrcheereo tru dat!!!!

[MaSeoLeBron]

@mrcheereo

So you think everyone who uses autotune is in the game for money? It's like you say DJ premier does music just for money cause he did some tracks for kanyes new lp...

[dacheat88]

@illicitshiznit Bullshit Wu's just doing it for the money. If all they wanted was money they would've quit a long, long time ago. I can't tell you how many Wu songs I've heard where the clan disses commercial rappers who are in it for quick cash.

[triXXareN]

@illicitshiznit Wu Tang performed live in Norway 5 months ago, so it's still possible to see them live ..

Even though Wu ain't giving out any full albums, the members are still rocking and making shit together.

I personally prefer De La's music over Wu's.

[nikoicee]

Why isn't this on the radio when i turn it on?

I have to take my ipod where ever i go, best bet i got De La Soul on it.

[mrmaoam]

Great track.

[pedro1escobar1]

detroit stand up!

[aPoetAfterAll]

thumbs up 4 true de la hip haaaaaaaaaap

[aPoetAfterAll]

Cant stop spinnin this 1... reminds me of dilla! DLS!!!!!

[knonow]

HIP HOP pure and simple.

[joejwt]

Best tune of 2009?

[ccarrollbutler]

De La 'till the death (or at least until they break up)! Pos is, IMHO, THE most underrated MC of all time.

[hornetbrown]

I smell something...this must be the shit!!

[ChapXman]

My ears are leaking jizz

[VideoGameEndings]

This song is THE SHIT!!!!

[ZyteGyst]

These dudes are still dope. Still. Dope.

[streetsurf194]

de la soul = dope Foevah

[dcam36]

You can definitely hear the Dilla influence on this track for Young RJ. Different, but dope as hell! Hot shit for De La.

[Thitoss]

Aaaaah I'm so GLAD I can listen to this album.

And this song is SICK!

De La Soul from the soul. They stayed real.

[MortenTheMartian]

This track is so effing breeeeezyyy!

[trueJB00]

a revolution in hip hop must start.whos give a shit if a feud starts..soulja boy aint shooting anyone...and de la will prevail if head to head with these fake ass rappers on the radios these days..lets get a renaissance goin

props to q-tip.

[9Bamba5]

anyone know the sample?

[Brookimsnookim]

nice fat bass

[718273]

Best Hip Hop Group ever. NO?

1. Maintain style

2. Still together, no egos

3. Music is Funky

[65Nuttah]

In your opinion yes.

[Shadapaga]

Wu-tang, Fugees, Gangstarr, EPMD, The roots, ATCQ, Run DMC, Pharcyde, Public Enemy, Slum Village, Beastie Boys, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Mobb Deep, Reflection Eternal/Blackstar, and on

[718273]

True it is my opinion. 65Nuttah your right. Shada most those groups broke up one time or another. although dig each and every group you named. But most of those groups wer influenced by De La. in one way or another. Peace brothers.

[thefirsthead]

@Shadapaga out of 14 u just named only 2 still make good music or music at all. look at those 3 thing s again and then try and make a legit list. the rooots is all ur gonna come up with

[Shadapaga]

@thefirsthead, what makes you think de la soul is so relevant now. This is a great song but all the groups have great songs to this day. Ghost and Rae just released OBFCL2 which could be a classic.

[thefirsthead]

@Shadapaga rae and ghost r not a group. show me a group 25 years in and still makin relevant music. like i said. just the roots. this song only just came out, so yah they r relevent and there new album will be better than anything out right now. id put my kids life on that.and like i said all the names u said. only 2 have albums in the last past 4 years.. de la soul is the most relevent group in hip hop in my eyes..

[Shadapaga]

@thefirsthead I think it takes more than one song to make you relevant is my point, i think a de la soul fan will tell you that their new cd will probobly be below average. Theres actaully great music out and being music is subjective you cant say somethings > than something else but "id put my kids life on that" is kind of out of perspective and dumb. I dont think relevance is the best way to judge hip hop now because its like the best turd in the toilet but i think Outkast is more relevant now

[Shadapaga]

@thefirsthead rae and ghost are a group because they have made music together for 20 years and have been featured on each others work the entire span. I really dont think De La can fuck with them either, at all. 36 chambers, OBFCL, OBFCL2, ironman, supreme clientele, wu-tang forever vs. 3 ft. high, stakes is hi, de la is dead, and AI

[thefirsthead]

@718273 forever the best..2 best lyricis too..man these guys touch my soul when they sing.the day de la is no longer in the game is the day hip hop really dies..true talk

[9Bamba5]

@718273 Best group of all time has to be Wu Tang!

[Dafunkeehomosapien]

@9Bamba5 DE LA & HIERO = BEST!!!!!

[9Bamba5]

@Dafunkeehomosapien

Wu Tang is better,for one main reason! I think they have MCs,who are equal in talent,WU has 8 of them,while De La has 3 tho.

[9Bamba5]

@9Bamba5

I mean like Wu Tang's and De La's MCs are equal in talent to me

[7thvenom]

@9Bamba5 I CAN AGREEE A LITTLE BUT TO ME POS PLUG ONE IS THE BEST MC SINCE RAKIM !!! BUT YEAH IM WIT U !!

[bradmoule]

@718273 wooord, 4. free concerts. ch ch ch

[Pirate7X]

@718273

Word. Every album a creative step forward and no bricks.

[snoopdog44144]

@718273 ... i disagree but i have them in the top 4... yea they still together but EPMD was way better

[telj1]

@snoopdog44144 I know it's an opinion but really? EPMD is dope as hell but Da La Soul's body of work speaks for it's self. If you really up on it and know/understand.

EMPD had 2 albums where they was actually %100 cool with each other. De La Soul still rockin.....the ish speaks for it's self yo....
