Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - Wrong Place

[clickidyclack]

@03:58 This fool, was forced to change his verse by the label...THEN spoke on it in the verse he re-wrote Haha... I'm 35, I remember when he was just a rapping ass dude up at Skyline, and I'm happy to say...over 20 years later, Del is STILL that dude. R.I.P. to his brother Tyson Jones...

[DeutscheBagge]

This is one of those cases in which the modified sample actually sounds better than the song it was lifted from. BT Express was a cool band, but nah.

[clickidyclack]

Thumbs Up is you know Del and Jason (The white guy in the video)

[micahman1000]

[Themilkman666]

Wheres the verse about coming back from Amsterdam wit Hash?

[nym56789]

@Themilkman666 I think at one point he says he had to switch his ryhme cause he says hash... its at 3.58.

[Themilkman666]

@nym56789 The entire third verse is dif nost just 3:58.

[tp34rcy]

bein from the best coast, my oppinion is prob biased but del is best thing to ever happen to hip hop

[KTHREE31]

@tp34rcy I'm frum tha b3ast coast & I thinK DEL iz 1 uv tha Best 2.

[bennu63]

[vidmuncher]

WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOIN WHEN ALL THIS HOT DEL STUFF CAME OUT??@!#?!@#

[GotZest]

I rarely find something like this! something that keeps demanding i listen, thats what a song should be

[lbeezyeazy]

[dermotjones]

Man! I stood out side this club for 5 hours and you got to pause this video to see me!!

[Perogi360]

Goddamn. Ive got a man crush on del. Hes such a cool kat.

[JessicaShuckaJukebox]

@Perogi360 I was just thinking the same thing. I was thinking the ssammme thing.

[TheBeschikbaarheid]

5 minutes needed to tell that gay fukkin ass story boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[MrStratoStrut]

Man I miss the old days. Real Hip-Hop music.

[Perogi360]

@MrStratoStrut Not no phoney phranchise!

[roBEARtoEHarwoodJr]

"Damn, I hate cops..."

[PointlesspeoplePosse]

[PeterParkerisded]

NO NEED FOR ALARM BEST ALBUM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1993 best year I was only 5 so I didnt hear the good shit like wu tang and this till now..

[MrBahaybata]

[y0m07Ch3rFuCk3R]

i just realized this is my fav beat eve

[LSwanson1049]

[Cobradog420]

[eddddddy]

Del is as good as Ice Cube

[MrAdamthebeast]

No Need For Alarm was '93

[themuffman45]

del is the best!!! im from the east coast and i love it here but on the real no rap on the planet touches del!

[thehiphopdepot]

@themuffman45 go to the website thehiphopdepot

[BonBon3589]

Hes coming to Detroit tomorrow! :D:D:D:D

[NativeSquirrel5]

Im seeing him in concert soon!

[TheWrongEnemy]

Del > Ice Cube

[iancon1]

@TheWrongEnemy the r cousins u know

[darthkrauser]

@iancon1 that's why he compared them broseph.

[TheWrongEnemy]

@iancon1 Yes, Del is much more skilled at delivery, lyricism, and has access to better beats than Ice Cube does. He is altogether a superior MC.

[iancon1]

@TheWrongEnemy i completely agree with you

[Mrbeepxtreme120]

@TheWrongEnemy Dont compare Ice Cube to no one, gotta respect the OGs, the NWA is untouchable. I personally like Del because hes more like my style, but hes still not better than Ice Cube, they are too different from each other.

[Themilkman666]

@TheWrongEnemy they related mannnnn

[CastilloKyle]

@TheWrongEnemy dude ice cubes dels cousin

[sethinator8]

@TheWrongEnemy u kno they r cousin right?

[bobbybobson2003]

@sethinator8 No, clearly he just picked 2 random artists out of a hat and compared them. But thanks for pointing out the incredibly unlikely coincidence.

[mylesp]

@TheWrongEnemy lol they're cousins

[smp2191]

@mylesp - Talk about one hell of a talented family!!!

[Themilkman666]

@TheWrongEnemy I wouldn't go that far

[deltronicmatt3030]

@TheWrongEnemy

Del > Pretty much every other rapper.

[rellom777]

Dope!!! Never heard this complete version. Only the album vers. Is cool. Foo's right even then.

[slop123456789]

this shit is pure funk

[FINbball]

What are the most classic Hieroglyphics related albums?

[infamousreligion93]

Del The Funky HomoSapien Is One Of The Fathers Of Alternative Rap. A Huge Influence to My Music

Terribly Underated. If You Haven't Heard His Number Album Golden Era.. Your Slackin!

Check Out My Channel To Hear What Real Rap Should Sound Like

[boostedsupra]

remember when you had to have talent ? shit these days is all about  image

[DrSmeatballs]

Damn I hate cops!...cant believe he was forced to cut that

Del people, recognize...Heiro, Living Legends, Lif, brother ali - underground vs mainstream these days.

Underground 1, Mainstream 0

[TheJaspaDisasta]

going to see del sunday gonna be the sickest thing. well i dont if it will be sicker than seeing wu tang clan but whatever

[FINbball]

@TheJaspaDisasta wu-tang are the shit live! I wen't to see them last summer. It was crazy, the best show I've ever seen

[stuwiitube]

@XxTheShadyxX I agree.



[mikerasta84p]

dope shit man... but then ppl say i smoke weed look at Dels eyes wtf! LOL 1 love n thx 4 de post man!

[Mesquissto]

YO ne1 notice how god MCs hated on mainstream back in the day too?

[iHATEfredsBAND]

i wish del would not be so underground so every1 can hear is mad rymes

[skriclee]

3rd verse is DIFFERENT?!?! damn, you couldnt tell me shit about this cats music up until Both Sides of the Brain that i didnt already know.. this is killing me ha!

..also agree the Casual remix is the sh!t

[ddmanman24]

The casual remix is dope too, makes it like two different song, both nice on the eardrums

[ddmanman24]

yea, the cas remix is dope too

[MaztazDJ]

BUUUUUUUT

[DrSchnyle]

real rappers use their voice as the lead instrument of a song. The lightly soul-infused dancepop shit they play these days bears no similarity to real hip hop, yet that's what they call it. unforgivable.

[Seekillbeing]

@DrSchnyle while I agree so much of what I hear nowadays is shit, to me real Hiphop music is all about the production as well as the mcing! Personally, I'm a bboy and the music moves me, and I don't think any element deserves shine over another.

Spitting an ill verse over a wack track is still wack!

Del is the TRUTH!

[failure269]

ya the cas remix was pretty good

[plech09]

" 'cuz i'm not the nigga, i got bigga brothas waitin' in the bushes to mush kids" i love that line

[SubliminalMinded2011]

I never knew there was a video for this.

see how wack mainstream t.v. is?

YouTube is the new Rap City. Yo YTV Raps.

[whylus]

i can't decide if i like this or the casual remix more

[Motorsheep]

I stopped listening to rap music when they stopped sampling (or even playing) actual musical instruments. There's still some good stuff around, but nothing electronic is ever gonna be as groovy as the instrumental loops on tracks like this one.

[DrCake11]

Skillz some have em Del does

[ttt303]

i cant believe that Del has only attracted 2-300K views..at most for their tracks.. oldschool gold i think:)

[dandan017]

Me and my boys ironically bump this song when we go out painting..this song is just so nice

[xDefclownx]

12 ppl can catch a slug straight in they colons.

[freeatlastification]

been there

[ShooterBtv]

yeah for real, Del is one of the greatest hip-hop mc's of all time

[Matt199218]

He reminds me of dave chapplle lol

[JSFER2]

@Matt199218 hell yeah dude!!!!

[mistashay]

Where did that funky-ass guitar sample come from??? Damn this song is still so dope to me. And it has a message, imagine that???

[skinnyJEANking2]

Del is one of the dopest emcees. I wouldn't say he's underrated or overrated. But this guy has done alot for hip-hop that not many people know about. His music has been in games, commercials, etc. He's dope. Respect.

[VandyzVidz]

12 people are in the wrong place, should of clicked on a lil wayne vid or any other bad artist if you dont like good hiphop.

[thehiphopdepot]

@VandyzVidz you can find plenty of good stuff at the website thehiphopdepot

[Blokjoker]

@VandyzVidz 6 months and still no more dislikes

[jmarrvin]

@VandyzVidz I'm thinking 12 people just clicked on the wrong button.

[jwr223]

Is there any more videos for this album, which is top 5 all time for me

[MyJunior1975]

@jwr223 "Catch A Bad One" was the first single released from "No Need For Alarm". It should be on YouTube...if Warner Music Group hasn't taken it down like they have done everything else, LOL!!!

[trygvie]

There's extra lyrics on here....I swear I didn't hear past 3:o6 on the album.

[rookie00rlw]

@trygvie he had to change the verse. thats why he says at the end "eventhough i had to switch my rhyme cause i said---HASH"

[xunit94]

Really stupid question but what was del holding in the beginning of the vid?

[josuesays]

@xunit94 a bullet which is why he says, "No point in having these flying around, waste of life" or something

[xunit94]

@josuesays Thanks :)

[earlnme]

So true, so funky...♥...a friend turned me on to him and I’m so glad =)

[beavislover64]

12 people were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[TheWrenaissance]

Del is in league with Canibus, Chino XL, Aesop Rock.

[jman24100]

hip hop at one of it's finest!!!

[deltronicmatt3030]

I never listen to rap (or hip hop or r&b or what ever you want to call it) but when ever it comes to Del, I have to listen.

[KingVirmire]

most unique flow of all time

[Nathaliejeweettog]

i love del! hes awesome <3

[Zonkoko]

Hey, wait... He's not a blue ghost :O!

[tuberklops]

was the cop adam corrola from the man show?

[lawlorcoaster]

Del is the best, hands down

[Juan321C]

So what if there's 12 dislikes! For those who don't like REAL Hip Hop, this wasn't for you to rate anyway! WE! 780 of us like it! That's good enough for me. For real, I've gotten people to listen to the rhymes, flows, and cadences of early Hip Hop. The lyrics made the song, not the beat. Del, you could bring your talents to Ohio anytime!

[UNDERRATEDMCS]

check tash out.

[CharmedFanforever]

DEL is the fuckin man

[djbeatjerky804]

Got 12 dummies who apparently dont know what Hip Hop is.

Fuckin Boo Boo Heads.

[PaDdY36o]

@djbeatjerky804 they jus like 50 cent

[LiamOnaRampage]

"But I'll never switch up my style to make cash, even though I had to switch my rhyme because I said (HASH)!!!!!!"

[MultiSinoda]

IRICKIN FLL!!!

[pick8lock]

man its cool how theres no fights on hip hop tracks like this in comments=)

[misternash16]

this is impressive knowing this is 94, when illmatic came out. he's way more advance and developed and ahead of his time

[jascrystalspike]

why cant rap still be like this?

[mwal722]

@jascrystalspike because rappers aren't poor anymore...

[seal22yo]

the best, show love kids

[mookyezz20]

Love Del. I could (and do) listen to him allll day. Love his voice.

[gerryg1982]

yo, Del got interviewed for the book HOW TO RAP: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC

He drops a ton of gems in that book, worth checking out if you're into real Hip-Hop

[sk8rm1cha3l]

@gerryg1982 yea man him and CAGE are the true rap artists non of this auto tuned crap of the 20th century

[raven062000]

I been ridin for Del since "I wish my brother George was here." That intro is funny as hell.

[jmikes1derboy]

rappers these days could in no way out-shine Del. people are addicted to repetitive lines and auto-tune. theres no appreciation for true flows coming from the underground hip-hop.

[pick8lock]

@jmikes1derboy why cant my friends see that man ...

i stopped hanging out with a group of kids at my school who where the african american group becuse they started blasting lil wayne trying to tell me how he is better then 2pac lyricly i said man this cant be .

keep in mind i am white and live in australia so im pissed the hip hop crowd is into pop hop trying to convert me

[Mryertletheturtle1]

@pick8lock wait wait wait....theres black australians?

[pick8lock]

@Mryertletheturtle1

yes aboriginals they generally (full bloods... black like night)

love tu pac becuse most aboriganals are home less(they like being homeless)

i'd blast my hip hop as loud as i can while chilling with them smoking ciggerets at bus stop.

but africans in australia where im from either are gangster rap but mainly kenya west and lilwayne .

i got boys that want me write them songs (rap) and i am going to do it to get back at a local hip hop(pop hop lil wayne) by murking him

peace.

[cmuthaphunkinmac]

@pick8lock haha good one brutha, get amongst it, not many of my mates and definitely none of my cousins crank anything old school besides maybe a bit of pac or snoop, but usually its all lil wayne garbage, whereabouts in aus do you live?

[pick8lock]

@cmuthaphunkinmac darwin nt

its all 50 cent and that

i respect kenye for his beats and doing his own shit but

its not my type of hip hop.

lyricism is the KEY

peace

[cmuthaphunkinmac]

@cmuthaphunkinmac haha you dont need to tell me where darwin is bruss, I was born and bred there. Moved to Melbourne about 3 years ago and being a black fella down here is a novelty to the locals lol. One time though it was a crack up, I was feeling sorta homesick and I was walking around the CBD with my girlfriend when there was this black fella standing there and he was staring at us and then he saw my girlfriend and as we walked past I heard him say under his breath "budju" homesickness over

[cmuthaphunkinmac]

@Mryertletheturtle1 man, Aboriginals are as black as Africans... A lot of dudes are fucking dumb and insular who never knew that (not having a dig at you though). One of the oldest recorded cultures between like 40 - 60 thousand years old got fucked up by british invasion... Im half deck btw ;) lol

[cmuthaphunkinmac]

@Mryertletheturtle1 *meant to say half caste top deck lol

[TheMusickJunkies]

fuck yea!!!! i love this song! i got way into metal&screamo now but damn today i was looking through my old songs:atmosphere,jedi mind, eyedea, murs, p.o.s, boogiemonsters, shing02, evidence, psycho realm, brother ali, cage, sage francis, grieves, living legends, and then del..i realized i missed rap so im blending them together now =) haha RAPCORE!  them 12 dislikes were so high to this song they missed the LIKE button XD

[seanhive]

Damn yall, 200k views. I did not know three years ago that there was this much love for Del, Hiero or underground hip-hop. But here we are-- none of these dudes is on the charts, nothin real new, just doin their thing--puttin out records and stayin on that tour mode.

This shit makes me feel real good about the underground right now, cheers to that

[JohnnySlotCar]

@seanhive Got introduced to Del via Deltron & Gorillaz a few years ago and started diggin' back to Hiero. Shocking about the chart sitch' - PUTS is doing well at keeping ol' skool/underground alive. Mid 90's were definitely the Golden age... IMHO

[animatorguy2]

@seanhive i thank gorillaz for del kinda growing, also mf doom

[DeadFinger17]

@animatorguy2

Maybe you see it like that, but Del was around way before Gorillaz, and has always been goin' strong for hip hop heads.

[Amalik4]

@seanhive don't he look like dmx to yall? to me he does del is the shit thats unground shit i been listen to his song alot we need more artist like him cause hip hop is gay ritenow

[snubbs741]

@seanhive come to the Bay Area.. there is hella love for Hiero

[Detman101]

@seanhive: Man, this is back when Rap made sense and you could understand and relate to what was being rhymed. Anything past 1996 is just junk.

Man, even Marilyn Manson knew 1996 was the year everything changed. Check his song.

Dm

[1234jjpk]

shit i hate being at the wrong place at the wrong time whos with me?

[joejwt]

oh and i always feel like doing the thing del does from 0:13 to 0.16 when i hear this beat

[joejwt]

Oh my, he's right! This IS art! This IS hiphop!

[Shlogger]

tight track...Del's the man...

[illone1981]

Peep , Beats by Wallace Green

[Glashtyn]

this goes so hard

[davethecritter]

Such a smooth, intelligent rapper. He shows what rap can and should be - good beats with intelligence and wisdom.

[merga60]

ayo! i see 12 dislike the michandler cooking shit radiatin kids and radar me if yu wana b at the wrong place at the wrong time 9 bullets fly through your behind for being at the wrong place bitch

[519bdotgangsta]

i wanna meet DEL

[97kills]

'but its resting at home'

[tarrded]

i was surprised when i found this sample

[fraukus]

seanhive, don't forget about Pharcyde's Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde that album did much to change the face of West Coast hip-hop, too.

[ThomasStillbranch]

ahh, hip-hop isn't totally dead :)

[012370909]

Akon is a bitch and Kardinal official is one too fuck those guys and those who sound like those posing biatches

[toshcalix]

whyed he down rappas?

[fredjamejames]

Probably one of my favourite songs

[w4r7]

golden era

[theprophet160]

del is crazy

one of the best underground rappers ever

[BIGGDaddyHudson]

hah, i have his head phones be-otch

[lazyafternoon1]

love this REAL hip hop!

[csw1000]

kinda reminds me of chappelle in the intro

[soljaboyisabitch]

is it not obvious who he's related to

[PrawnSticks]

Ahh, I love this guy. Really excellent rapper.

[conradthebum1]

why are the lyrics different in the last verse in other versions?

[uniqueterror]

@conradthebum1 He talks about it in the last verse of the video version. "But I'll never switch up my style to make cash / Even though I had to switch my rhyme cause I said ---- (hash)." It's most likely due to repercussions that came from the Body Count album and Del being a Warner artist.
