  • i think he raps for Gorillaz

  • @Wolfparade51 ya his name is Del The Funky Homosapien, he is part of the Heiroglyphics Crew who were very popular in the 90s, he has done work for handsom boy modeling school and the Gorillaz, he has been around for years but still does alot of work even today, this "deltron 3030" project is him plus 2 other guys who mix samples with/for him and help him dj the songs. Check out Him + Heiroglyphics, hes amazing. Also if u like Del you'll love Pep Love, he is also in the Heiro crew

  • fuck myself off cause of the egotisical mode im in. hahahahahahaha! classic line.

  • Kids should be required to dance to this in public school instead of repeating the National Anthem every morning. This is so amazing!

  • @buckfushes Nobody should be required to do anything. Listen to more deltron

  • @Ragingnerdz if you want to live, you should be required to chill

  • @buckfushes you're an idiot.

  • @buckfushes should they dance or should they study the lyrics and intellectual message del is attempting to deliver through his music?

  • @buckfushes Why would anyone recite their national anthem every morning?

  • Sick i love it D.G thanks fer sharing ;)

  • Del is a very underrated MC.

  • I dont think hes underrated, hes one of the few MCs that I have not heard bullshit about. Most ppl who have taste thinks he is the shit.

    But in the mainstream scene, yes but who cares about that really?

  • @cetnikz he has 222,000 views he's not underrated he's just not mainstream

  • @nileakanile This was uploaded 3 years ago the views are probably repeated viewers he is underrated. Also underground. or just not mainstream.

  • @aDdAeVmIaD

    Haha, I'm a repeated viewer, mos def

  • @peturr916 me too haha

  • @cetnikz nah man, hes just underground

  • @cetnikz as underrated as underrated can be

  • this whole album  is dope!

  • @ ilovee711 I agree, whole album is the shit! who ever heard of a rap concept-album? U can't f*ck with his futuristic lynguistic rhyme sickness, Del's CLEARLY got the post-apocalyptic rap-game on lock

  • this is a damn good song.

  • Clearly you are having trouble hearing the meaning buried beneath the words. He's making fun of you.

  • @BenRoundell

    do tell how

  • I dig old rocknroll, and I don't fancy myself the smartest person around but I'll try to show you my POV.

    It's not just jumbled lyrics. He is saying something, and what he is saying applies quite well to anyone who thinks it meaningless.

    The song to me is about being just another one. We're all in this together, we may be different but not so different that we need hate. Suffering is something that happens and needs dealt with. Just don't make shit shitty.We're stuck.

    "Simple minded people...

  • @BenRoundell

    im all about old school rock/metal/glam all that... i never take del as jumbled lyrics... dudes a straight up nerd... everything he does has a meaning behind it that the simple minded just cant see.

  • piano shot was probably the trippiest in the vid

  • after the first 2 minutes of the video i realized its someone's room. this video and song is perfect for being high

  • been rockin this album for nearly 10 years now. smooth beats coupled with the best lyrics. Del, a hero for life!

  • You do not like what you do not understand. mind over matter.

  • The funkee homosapien

  • It's not about separation it's about the population...Del is the fuckin truth

  • I'm trapped in a bottle, my music's gettin hollow

    and thats what happens when humanity you follow...

  • cittttyyy madneeesss

  • Whoa...why have I not heard this before?  This chorus is hauntingly amazing.

  • this is so fuckin nasty holy shit

  • Just because his peers jeer and clown and when you six feet deep no one hears you now!

  • We might act different in some ways, but we still group together like a fucking survey.

  • @ViVACiOUSx because some of us are not as cruel as all of us- Anonymous

  • Caught in the grip of the city...madness

  • DEL!!!!!!

  • cover half of the screen and it doesn't make you dizzy

  • "...when u 6 ft deep, no1 hears u now."

    3030

  • I can not believe in 2009, the so call sophicated generation is using language as the primitive thinking genre of the 1800's. If young African American male on this post is refering to his race as an niggard, he is a modern time slave whose manifest with self hatred due to the Willy Lynch philosophy that was taught to you ... The same goes to my Caucasian brother out there in the world. We as a the futuer of man-kind must eliminate the prejudice teachings of the past and learn from each other.

  • i love his voice

  • yeah gorillaz eh

  • this is extremely amazing.

  • th only reason why black people have been able to flourish is because of white people. So dont hate

  • kid...race is a petty thing to even discuss. your a human and im a human.. you wipe ya ass jus like me and everyn else. so get over that bullshit white and black nonsense..

  • you really seem to be familiar with that dichotomy.

  • no...dont go make it jus black people. EVERY race has dumbasses that ruin it for their race. even white people.. so thats not a good excuse. secondly "nigger" is a word used by the ignorant. get over it we are all the same. H U M A N S. so how bout this. if you wanna use "nigger" dont let it be for jus blacks, use it for every human, when they do some fucked up shit. so if a white person steals sumthin, hes a "nigger". see how much people use it, when it applies to their own race

  • first off name callin isnt needed. thats ignorancethat you were talkin bout right there. anywaaaay im tired of this convo and i know you are. so lets jus agree to like everybody. and the people that we jus cant be cool with no matter how hard we try (or not try)lol jus act like they dont exsist instead of sayin mean shit that other people of the same race will see and take offense to cause they think you talking about them. besidesss life to short for us to let that bs piss us off. DEL'S RAW!

  • "Nigger"?

    We live in the 21 century now,not the 19th, okay? The term is "African America", not "nigger".

    And i think by "hick" you mean "Caucasian"

  • African American is also politically incorrect. Same with Caucasian.

    Black is black.

    White is white.

  • politics are incorrect

    and those are colors

    not kinds of people

    people have names

  • this kid knows what he is talkin about

  • then that's your political standpoint.

  • .......

  • fuck political correctness

  • actually a simple black and white would suffice because lets face it.. african american and caucasian are just as retarded as racism.... also i think your a bit racist yourself cuz you just translated hick to caucasian (white people) are you implying that all white people are hicks?

  • Good comment.  These people are assholes.
