De La Soul - Ego Trippin (Part 2)

[NaibunCreative]

Classic

[illogicaltongue]

This shit was my blood in the 90's.

[extrem1008]

"its a rental" lol

[rush378]

ATTN: Other rappers did not steal lyrics from this song. De La Soul used other people's lyrics to make a song that makes fun of egotistical performers. This is why the track is called "Ego Trippin'."

[mozak912]

wow i never noticed that liam from prodigy sampled this - 1:00 "change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" :)

[djfishtick]

it's sampled from the ultramagnetic mcs

[mozak912]

oh yeah, i totally forgot bout kool keith :)

[pbolanis7667]

Yo what album is this from? Been looking for this track

[misterbobdobalina]

buhloon mindstate

[smlz50]

Flashback to 95 rolling in the car blasting De La!!!!!

[Hamlin954]

wow. this is deep. hip-hop has changed alot!

[drunkvas69]

yep your right this is the original sound of hip-hop to me!!

[bobdigi88]

we need a radio station that plays classic hip hop. no rnb no singing just classic hip hop

[QBORO007]

Tune in to WKCR 89.9 FM thursdays @ 1am to 5 am Squeeze Radio..this is where hip hop lives..NO R&B no wackness, commercial free just straight Real MUZIC!!

[antiembishop07]

aaaahahahahahahhhhhaaaaa!!!!

[dburlein]

word

[NodameContabile]

this is real hip hop!!1

[axb71]

What yall want? this used to KNOCK!,... Lonnie

[Mickeyman25]

still don't think there ever was a part one...

[thehoodspecialist]

Didnt know The Roots bit off this video

[jvinson]

The Roots sampled this in a song called "Stay Cool." from the Tipping poing album. Thought murdered this track.

[GiantGemini]

I think thehoodspecialist was referring to The Roots "What They Do" video.

[grabyourgat]

Why can't we hear stuff like this on the radio now days instead of this god awful booty shaking garbage?

[framil54]

its sad that the radio is full of CRAP..at least theres some postive signs of real music coming back..check the main video on my page..up and coming hip hop/jazz band called ArtOfficial..your welcome

[ares088]

Took It Back =] LOVE DIS TRACK

[kingdeepee]

100% hotter than that crap that gets spins now

[rollituphomie]

still one of the best,i find myself comparing old school hip hop to today's so called music no contest 90's hip hop is the best period.sometimes i hate being young

[j1sultan]

reflect on the ego with this classic track

[ChoBam]

gets me dancing in my chair everytime..

[centaurdo]

respect!!!!!

[pmsan29]

Thanks for posting this video...this takes me back. I bought buhloone mindstate the day it came out in 93.

This still sounds fresher than 95% of the stuff out now.

[impreza0wrx]

THANK YOU!!!

[lak209]

still sounds fresher than 99% of shit out there..

[dedricthere]

more like a 100%

[82ndABKhan]

nice to see actual HIP-HOP for once...De la Soul is the shiz...

[MOEBILLZ]

alot's going on...but ain't a damn thing happenin'!!!.....SUPA EMCEES

[dedricthere]

Back when rap had some credibility.

[dshmee]

Did you know that they took lyrics from other songs and put them all together? They didn't write a single word.

[delbbc]

huh??????....you've no idea what you're talking about, this is GROWN-MAN hip-hop music. Go back to bed sonny.

[felixicon]

this sooo influenced hip hop style (clothing) of my era.. respect

[tatatanishaaa]

hahah this is the seriouuss shiiiit

[Division1985]

Public Enemy reciting this song on that VH1 awards show was tight. EPMD was cool too.

[LGKids]

Rap at it's best, hold up let me say that again, rap at it's best! If Lil Wayne, Soulja Lil Boy, and Young whoever sounded like this, they might get some respect, but for now De La rules!

[john1120]

dude this is just like the roots video"what they do".

[brightseatbully]

except it came out like, FIVE years before 'what they do.'

[CMVMic]

Na it aint u son....tht girl iz mad fine! Not to mention i love this song...she really made this hip hop thing sound mad ill!

[Drayton42677]

I don't sass or frass I put da foot up da ass.

Is it me or was shawty in the video fly.

[JheriCurlJankins]

When is Vinia Mojica gonna drop an album?

[talwon]

dont this look like that roots video

[Bcbgit101]

All old school hip hop heads can appreciate this one!

[downtownR]

Shorty No Mas, I'm in there like swimwear. All day, everyday.

[soulbrother8]

Best Hip Hop group of all time

Pos is my favorite rapper ever no one can fuck with him on the mic

[BragiCAM]

That's what I'm saying, Pos is untouchable on the mic

[THAGODUSEF]

i'm something like a phonomenom.....

[readyrockj]

YAHHHHHHHHHH

[RapFanatic4ever]

oh HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAA­AAAHHHHHH

[suckafool]

damn this brings back memories.

This was a classic.

[rjd2flow123]

whos the girl in this video

[majinpsyduck]

Shorty No Mas. I heard a few things from her back in the day and she was really good, but I don't think she ever had her own album.

[RapFanatic4ever]

this Video is Hot and I Love the song

[PatTurner]

This is where The Roots get there Idea for "What They do" video...

They also sampled the beat.

Dope ish.

[ONEMANPROD]

Trendz of culture is back

search: "trendz of culture new hot"

Trendz in the studio

[eddiebrock909]

Buhloone Mindstate. Last Prince Paul Album. Classic

[TS2DM]

I had the album this tune was on back in the day, can someone tell me the name of it.Thanks :)

[rollituphomie]

imma play this again 5/5

[ElectAPromQueen]

Classic. Never dies. but why I have a this assumption DLS were going after Puff Diddy/Biggie 's Big Poppa vid in this one?

[tardie10]

This came out way before that vid

[wh333t]

Probably my fav hip hop song of all time.

[phesterjr]

Dela kool. What year did this track come out? I've had this song in my head for the longest time. I'm thinking between '93 and '94 but I'm not sure. I just remember being in Junior High School.

[NomarEtnod]

"When I swallow hear *gulp*.

[LANCEVANCE08]

takin the traaaain

[olbranch]

they killed the Rock the Bells tour!!!!!!

[milleziano]

al hirt - harlem hendoo

[jojoda4thnigga]

who's the girl in the song?

[wayl454]

Shortie No Mass

[Mohammets]

I don't know much about De La Soul, but I know Prince Paul and Kool Keith are pretty tight, so I have to assume that the song title is a nod to Ultramagnetic MC's "Ego Trippin'" from 1986.

Dude says the lyrics "I change my pitch up, smack my bitch up" which are lifted from Kool Keith in Ultramag's song "Give The Drummer Some".

Good song. I think I like De La Soul.

[lav20050]

love this track 1.20 something like a thernominum thats where ll cool j got it from

love ll but he shouldent steal from de la

[alwa74]

Sweet! 0:32 "It' A Rental". LOVE IT

[finessdotwilliamsONE]

[paranoidpfanclub]

i could'nt get my head around Buhloone mindstate, but i used to love this track! must track down another copy!

[spaceboogietv1]

Saw Them last night at the Rock The Bells Show! Crazy ill! Real Hip Hop!

[greatcolombian29]

[frkndopetastic]

[rollituphomie]

man,that was fantastic!!!!this needs to be on the radio.

[HokageKOF99]

This song just murdered 99.999% of the songs out today!

[SamfanPSG]

THERE IS THE BEST!!THE BEST RAP GROUP OF ALL TIME(for me^^)

[greatcolombian29]

I kinda have them tied with A Tribe Called Quest(for me)

[SamfanPSG]

Think as you want ;)

[bunkyboy1]

damn, ego trippin down memory lane. 1993 seems like yesterday. love this jam

[greatcolombian29]

And at the end "Stock boy at K-mart" lol

[clin37]

wooooooooooo... LOVE IT!!!!

[muneter]

LOVE THIS ONE!! Brings back the memories of my youth. These cats made this song to combat the corn ass corporate 'artists' that were on slaughting the hIP HOP culture back then. LONG LIVE the real (HIP HOP) FUck that corporate (plastic bullshit).

[nightDreamer12]

the good old school! when u hear de la soul you realize hip hop today really is dead and i like the rap today but u can't even compare it to this you don't hear any beats like this anymore. and all the rap today is about getting drugs and money this is the good stuff right here i wish it would come back

[druha10304]

this to me is their worst album. best one is stakes is high

[h2junkey]

That's definitely your opinion.

[KSIxisxgae]

jews...

[modifiedcontent]

@druha10304, Buhloone Mindstate is brilliant. Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley!

[livesociety]

Trugoy/Dave said the same thing. This is his least favorite joint. It happens to be my favorite tho.

[cheekyyank]

dude u gotta luv da de la

[daryl2280]

De La Kings! favorite album was Buhloone Mindstate

[cleverlen]

nothn like the old school

[impreza0wrx]

how does this song have so few views...this is a hiphop classic!!!

[greatcolombian29]

cuz every1 is sleeping!

[svahaid]

yard corp

[bentwazzle93]

I LIKE DIS SONG

[rssesq]

this song is SOOOOO appropriate for todays rap scene.

stop buyin Bentley's and open a supermarket. so we can spend our money with the blacks but your to busy buyin gold and cadillacs.

[funkyheihei]

Holla Down All You Playa Haters.... This is Old School....So Brace Yourselves....Peace out From Te Moana Nui A Kiwa!!!!

[bballman494949]

they arnt fake their dissin all the other rappers out there with giant egos who arnt anything...listen to some other songs by de la and youd understand.

[rsynth75]

it's been a problem with rap from day one. The Roots would do a similar concept with their song "What They Do". 1993-1996-1998-2000

+ still the same problem with over-blown ego emcees

[pcmacro]

I know there is another hip hop song that uses that beat. I can't remember which song though or who raps on it

[princess52723]

The Roots, "Stay Cool," off of the "Tipping Point" Album.

[Grisu112FF]

The Original Is from: Al hirt - Harlem Hendoo

[cornnutsgary]

this is what i love about real hip hop

the new cats commin up will never be this raw and real

[topoy6]

they fake and nonsense... rather listen to tha hall and oates than listen to those bullshit music they play on today's hip hop radio stations...

[livesociety]

Yeah but hall & oates is dope tho!

[Realtablist]

I'm still waiting for Shorty No Mass' album, been waiting for over 14 years since the announcement!

(Shorty No Mass is the chick in the blue shirt and jeans by the way).

[Salatosis]

um...wheres part 1?

[taaffeman123]

they called it part 2 in reference to the ultramagnetc mc track "ego trppin"!

[Nithralas]

Hilltop Hoods sampled 1:10 in Stopping All Stations =)

[RaelSpice]

hOURGLASS cAT ;O) EGOTRIP

wOrD X

[shazzang18]

hahahah, yeahhhhhh.

trugoy, will you please give us a haircut?

[shazzang18]

prince paullllll

[smokescreenstar]

needz a hair cut!!!!!

[DellaEnzo]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

[StoicTwo]

Man who else had a crush or just digg the chick in the blue shirt and jeans, just tell me by the thumbs up count, thank you! LMAO!

-StoicOne!

[jfitchet]

Al Hirt - Harlem Hendoo

[risen27]

AHHHH AHHHHHHH AGHHHHHHHHHH

[BabyPhat019]

L.A. Jay remix of this song is crazy

[DellaEnzo]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[DanielAltmann]

wow,cool track

The Roots used a part of the background for "Stay Cool"

[Bacardiwavemaster]

wondering about the connection between this and Snoop's Ego Trippin cause 'Deez Hollywood Nights ' sounds similar to De La Soul's 'Grind Date'

[FirstClassHeel]

Deez Hollywood Nights doesn't sound that much like The Grind Date (it does a little, but it's not a straight rip-off). The Grind Date's instrumental track is from "Nous Sommes Du Soleil" by Yes.

[HelloFade2]

i gotta say i've never been much of a rap fan but i do kind of like this song. It sure as hell is a lot better than that crap we have today like Soulja Boy and Flo Rida

[swerve19]

There's plenty of stuff out there like it ya just gotta dig.

[NoCopywrite]

Thing song makes fun of rappers who aint got shit (ie Webbie and Jibbs, young Jeezy), got no respect, 1-hit wonders, who already talking about mansions, hoes and cars etc. They hire these shit and put them in their videos. They got no wealth no property.  The only people who can flaunt are Snoop and JayZ, cause they have paid their dues, and are established in wealth.

[mikeyhandsome]

The song is like 15 years old. The video reigns true today. I always thought Pos was clowning Tupac(I get around) with the mansion, bald head and girl grabbing him in the bed

[mikediddy1]

80's babies check this site:

30sumthin. blogspot. com

[sab1175]

It might blow up but it won't go pop!

[sanmuhammad]

true hip-hop!!!!!!

[mikediddy1]

You said it Fam. Buloone Mindstate was definitely slept on.

CLASSIC!!

[mcfisticuff23]

this was the last collabo. that De La did with Prince Paul, they really haven't been the same since--however, when I saw De La at Pitchfork last year, Paul was with them so hopefully their new record's gonna have some of his production...

[luisvuitondon]

there new stuffs still awesome but i agree its not as good since plugg 4 left.

[TheNurseJulie]

"was tight"??? They haven't stopped. They are undoubtedly in the Top 5 of artists with longevity and consistency.

[standupanger]

OH Shit...this was probably a HUGE INSPIRATION for that Roots joint "Stay Cool"

[RapFanatic4ever]

I Love De La Soul they was tight

[tonedeff500]

sounds like stay cool by the roots

[Suge4444]

stay cool sounds like this because the roots sampled this. Come on you gotta know that

[impreza0wrx]

na man they both sampled the same break..i checked both tipping point and buhloone mindstate albums

[impreza0wrx]

type in "al hirt - harlem hendo" for a listen

[Eversteady]

Man, I just had to comment on this. Just when I was beginning to think no one appreciated real music anymore, I discovered YouTube and you guys. Peace and love to all who recognize the real and appreciate art. I love you all. Keep it goin'!

[highflier069]

im the greatest mc in the world love that lyric

[chinobx4life]

the sampling is dope.

[lehipster]

My daughter turned me on to this band...shes

not all bad ...

[lightsknbrotha]

Wow talk about bringing back memories thanx whoever posted this

[Bigbrills1]

This song & video is sooo far ahead of it's time. Just listen to the many samples that where taking from this song, & isn't this showing how artist rent cars,houses, and different things to put in their videos,to make up for stuff that they "DON'T" have.  (PEEP "THE ROOTS" VIDEO - "WHAT THEY DO" FOR MORE INFO)

[caboose419]

how would u know if they rent all there stuff are u them do u live there same life i bet u dont so u wouldnt know shit

[Bigbrills1]

I know this "jesse",you still a young buck, get a couple mo' years under ya belt before you talk about something as far as artist,and what they do. :HERES A Lil' INFO FOR YA: 1. Ja Rule had to go to court for trashing a "RENTED" house on cribs. 2. Prodigy (MOBB DEEP) had to recoup Jacob the Jeweler, 1.5 mil, After someone snatched the "RENTED" chain off his neck. (STEP YA GAME UP)

[caboose419]

i dont care about new rap the old school is what made hip hop real and dont use my name

[PropagandaPolice]

Ease up Jesse....we are all friends here :)

I agree with you. Don't buy ANY new Hip-Hop. Play the classics, and put these Hater-Players out of business.

[caboose419]

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Aaah Aaah Aaah

Aaah

[superiorsound707]

because im something like a phenomenom!!  arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

[notorious0001]

I love all the subtitles. "Its a rental", "he don't live here" etc.

[537semigod]

harlem hendo!!!!!!

[coldrockdaspot]

so many memories from this, one in particular was an ex girlfriend saying are you watching that again???...because I used to play it everyday.

[taaffeman121]
