De La Soul - Say No Go (I Can't Go For That)

[Dalgren96]

Yo, can't have none of that -

tell 'em what to say Mase...

Say no go!

[erykahbadu172]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm weeeed

mmmmmmmmmm de la

[horthh]

Sombre idiot, Say no dope, c'est pas suffisament explicite ?

[erykahbadu172]

but i love de la?

[cujo9]

this is when rap was rap, and music was bad, a true classic

[fireforcewtc]

i m ok with u!!! the best period! today rap is only bling bling and money!

[ginasty]

don't forget bitches

[HieroCrew420]

This just might be the greatest sampled song I've ever heard. The sped up Detroit Emeralds sample is so dope.

[bookymangrandijoost]

drugs sucks but but weed is usabel if you use it prepared,, by the way, DE LA SOUL KICKS ASS!!

[arthurclark14]

u gotta love the reference to the funky 4 + 1 more

[RockingBlaze13]

No DRUGS!!!!

[leos312312]

why? because some much white people can't controll theyr' life whith drugs? im self white, but remember the ooold users of drugs. cocain was just to be ilagaly in U.S because they thought the black's will destroit them with the drug- true

anyway,sry this comment was not to this video

[attaboy83]

nice as fuk

[MonMccool123]

Why is everybody hattin on Hip Hop music today? I think Madvillain, Dizzee Rascal, and Mike Skinner match up very well with the greats of the early 90s and late 80s. And why the fuck does everybody always mention the shittiest raps when they're reffeing to todays rap. Theres more out there, you just got to open your eyes and look.

[phatlip2]

Lol @ Dizzee Rascal, and Mike Skinner.

[MonMccool123]

Whats so funny about Dizzee Rascal and Mike Skinner. They've made 2 of the most well reviewed Hip-Hop albums this decade. Just check out meta-critic.

[Nurosyz]

just because it's reviewed doesn't mean its any better. i think they make fairly bland music. mike skinner gets out done by a lot of people. his background and voice works in his favour. dizzee is a little more rawer.

[bigdaddyrakim]

I don't think the people here are hating on ALL hip hop music today. Most of us just hate the crap yells "chains hang low", "partying like a rockstar, and yelling "ay bay bay"..geesh. By Madvillain you mean MF DOOM..he ain't new. I, for one, regard Planet Asia, The Game, Phonte(Little Brother), Lupe Fiasco, Mr. Lif, Joell Ortiz, The Clipse, Wale, Jean Grae, Murs,..and LUDACRIS. These guys are post 2000 and are only a smattering of 21st century talent.

[MonMccool123]

I hope youre right, because I just dont understand what people mean when they say old and new school. Was there a certain date that divides the old and new? Is Vanilla Ice considered old school? Today if you say fuck the police and it has some resemblance of whats going on in the world, are you considered old school? I guess Im asking these questions to the people who hate new school Hip-hop. Or do we all agree with Bigdaddyrakim in which I hope we all do.

[MonMccool123]

Yeah. MF Doom and Madlib are a bit old, but their album "Madvillainary" was made this decade. I'm just doing my best to prove that theres some good Hip-Hop albums still coming out. It is true that there are many Hip-Hop artist that represent everthing besides the music, but thats what the mainstream audience wants.

[CRAZOLA3]

1989 i was over seas in the military in japan they were seriuos hip hop heads out there

[richiebear1969]

If I were Hall and Oates (I Can't Go For That), I would have been like wow, this is funky.

[00wrongun]

nobody ever will match old skool hip hop ever the shit they make nowdays is a joke

[BJSteigner]

This is real hip hop not today's crap music.

I heard that De La Soul are still in business. Mad props and respect to De La Soul forever!

[hoek88]

this is not rap. this is hip hop and it is also why it sounds good and you like it! :)

[bitwised]

Actually, rap is the delivery / performance of rhyming while Hip-Hop is the culture that rap is part of.

[LarissaLIBERTY]

so what is the difference between rap & hip hop ? please explain...honestly I dont know the difference cause Im mainly into rock music =D

ps: well whatever it is its by far better music than what we have to put up with these days for example lil wayne,soulja boy or 50 cent..yuck

bring back the 90s!

[oursourpower]

Like bitwised said. Rap is a way to deliver lyrics instead of singing.

Hiphop is a cultur, which rap is only a part of together with graffiti, break and dj.

[adamjmorris24]

Whether rap was better then or now, this is an absolute tune in any era.

[greekuuu]

No go

[nogginboon]

The mainstream music of most genres is commercial crap now days, there is tons of amazing underground hip hop out know from all over the world rapping about much more than money hoes and grills, just don't expect it to be on MTV or the radio, nothin good usually is.

[mikeysa]

ordellsmith

How can you think rap has changed for the better? Rap now-a-days is NOWHERE near as great as it was!

Almost all new US and UK rap have gone completely commercial..

Rap now is so mindless even retards like soulja boy can make a shitty song and it makes millions.

Rap used to be great, now it seems to have been taken over by power hungry wanks that only care about making money.

That's not a change for the better

[seraphs85]

i agree, "hip hop is dead" by NAS.

[callumbrowns]

is this in a good way or bad way mate? NAS IS A LEGEND HE DID NOT KILL HIP HOP ATALL LOL.

[Ohmynuhuh]

dood go shove a gerbil up your ass , the truth is that this "old school crap" kicks all those rappers ass.

living in denial is your decision, go hide in a corner or something.

[scrEaMOdc2]

i'm middle class and white, and i was raised on de la, but then again my step dad is black and most of my family is intelligent black people who aren't fooled by new rappers game of "buy my shitty cd it has me talking about money sex and drugs that i wrote yesterday"

fuck lil wayne his shit is wack

people under the stairs >

[AnnaSmee]

TROLL.

[kraftboy]

you called it ... a bunch of people getting trolled here

[ledzep245]

guess wat i live in a rich neighborhoord and every kid here listens to lil wayne and only a few kids even kno who de la is, rich white kids love lil wayne and lil wayne is a bitch so dont use wayne and hood together

[fenbag27]

you are a homosexual.

[DuffleBagBoy1994]

dude, hip hop today is only about sex and money. plies and wayne just pays a guy to hook them up with a beat and rap something they wrote yesterday to make some money.

and how can you call this crap? this was the beginning of what you call hip hop today. the poprap/gangsterrap style just took over the whole hip hop genre

[DuffleBagBoy1994]

love it:) as you all said, de la soul is from the soul.

is the guy with glasses pos?

[fenbag27]

no...it means from the soul, bud

[Jgoo24]

it can mean both actually, the word 'de' in french means both from and of in french.

[64impalaboi]

[InchHigh73]

ohhhh my god , do you remember the dance to this?? ho ho ho

[afrench1122]

back in tha day this was it ...cool-cool rhymin and a kick-ass beat who knew 10 years later theese guys have a seriously positive message that is still stong today.Listen peeps De La is rappin 4-real.. OS,baby adway!!!

[Tiptoes8705]

De la Soul means from tha soul.....

[ElectricCandleLight]

for real say no to coke

[sbstnyri]

De La Soul translated to From The Soul

these guys definitely live up to their name.

[Glasgownights]

This song and the accompanying video are an art statement for rap and hip hop in general.

De La Soul is from the soul.

[joweiner69]

any1 goin to southport weekender next weekend, de la soul are playing, cant wait.

[tyluscious]

Plug One's first verse on this song is MURDER!

[deathtaker191]

[Zombiegeddon007]

You study shit. You can't even spell.

[mastershmiddy]

Run me a score from the funky 4 + 1 More

(It's the joint!) Rewind that back

This is the age for a new stage of fiend

Watch how the zombies scream "It's the crack"

When I caught on to that I was like, "Daaaaaaaamnnnnn!"

[Rise519]

[NoelLozano]

I think Mac Dre sample it in "4 Myself"

[mrso75]

class

[saintandrews84]

This song , if you listen carefully will forever be distinguished as the de la soul sound. A unique but strong sound as turntable mix that can and will always stand the test of time. No matter what the day,time and situation when this song is played demands respect to the era in which this song was associated to and the people of the time. Such a classic song , the best of De La Soul . Another old school song that can still to this day walk over the rest of the market.

[jabron1973]

saintandrews84, that was very well said....you're 100 percent right

[Rise519]

....as if ripped from my own thoughts. This song popped into my earphones recently while cycling downtown and it's been a keeper since. Jazzy,strong and upbeat as it was in De La's hey day. Nothing written today can fuck with this.

[bigdaddyrakim]

Would I be out of line by saying that Posdnuos is one of the most underrated lyricists of the beloved rap game?

[hanbone76]

bigdaddyrakim i'm glad you took notice to how nice Posdnuos really is.this cat said a lot of things that went over peoples heads.I met Pos back in 96 when the Stakes is High album dropped & he is a down to earth cat.

[kennymega61]

Hell naw, son!

Everyone talk about Pac and Biggs. but look where they at, Pos is still performing and still rock the house, although no record deal.

[jitney1976]

There really is no need for me to say how fucking awesome De La Soul is.

[RockingBlaze13]

Great song

De La rocks!!!!!!

[gotpastyou]

Great track, even better anti drugs message for those who choose to listen..

[mrtchesco]

dedicace à tou les krasseu ki ont les cros

j'sor la beu, les feuille et direct je roule

C la classe...C du bon son...C say no go

le oinj j'le pass à tou ceu ki kif DE LA SOUL.

YO....

[horthh]

Espèce d'idiot fini, cette chanson est anti-drogue, va te pendre toi et ton herbe, junkie.

[harrytheblurfan]

De La Soul are good but Beastie Boys are still my favourite Hip Hop band

[saintandrews84]

[etriplethefirst]

de la is the ish...i love the sample of hall and oats...

[Icedrunk1]

This is a great one I had forgotten completely; shame on me. Can we bring real hip-hop back? Please? No, really...

[enaeb]

These were the days when rap could be performed without the use of tits, arse, violence and dissing other rappers. These days concious lyrics do not sell. Shame!

[rachelgrrr]

Sampling and lyrics on this song are amazing - hip hop at its best, God bless De La Soul :)

[BJSteigner]

Daryl Hall and John Oates allowed I Can't Go For That to be sampled on this track....<Now that's really nice of them

[codajoeyg]

see youngin's back in the day selling drugs and doing drugs were no good..now u clowns glorify it and wonder why the hood is so effed up....real music at its finest

[RockingBlaze13]

This is real rap

[molinariandco]

Your no sad... you are sick!!!

DE LA SOUL RULES!!!

OLD SCHOOL RULES!!!

[shanti3310]

you no shit about hip hop. It's actually very sad how ignorant you are. Ah well you don't know better so I can't be very mad at you

[darkweaversythnas]

im sorry im sad nd ignorant for likeing sumthing more then another, riiiight look up wat ignorant really mean then have a look in the mirror, and i know enof to know wat i like

[BJSteigner]

I would like to see Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Eminem and Soulja Boy vs. Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne Shante, M.C. Lyte and De La Soul....In a battle on who is real player

[rockjohnson80]

Why would you put Busta Rhymes against De La Soul. Are you saying that Busta is wack by putting him in a group with Souja Boy?. Busta Rhymes has been at it for nearly 20 years. Leaders of The New School!!! Do your history lesson. Never put greats in a category with Soulja Boy.

[richiebear1969]

Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Slick Rick, Public Enemy and OUTKAST

[jkjououogg]

Classic Hip Hop at its best!!! todays hip hop is garbge! Not music at all.

[BigBlueBeast]

This was music!!

[discorecords]

YEAHHHH this is the album that got me into hip-hop. Sampling master Prince Paul!!!

[callumbrowns]

Bad boy beat this is real rap. HIP HOP IS DEAD NOW AND IS CALLED HIP POP.

[Blackeyez1200]

what's up with the Rock The Bells Europe Dates & Sales ? i'm on the mailing list and all they put on the site is info on the North American one. hope they still forreal

[BJSteigner]

This is real hip hop...Hall and Oates allows their chorus into this track. This is truely a very positive track...INSTANT CLASSIC BIG TIME!!!!

This is real hip hop and not the crap music on today's dial. Go Figure

[Luananewman]

Very good song! And sexy voice... I love this group.

[B3NN10N]

Rappers with lyrics and a meaning! Bring back these old artists! SUCK MY ASS KANYE WEST!

[laurielaugh]

"Got beat by da boy in blue!"

Hell yeah!

[laurielaugh]

Got beat by da boy in blue!

Hell yeah

[Preki12]

Groundbreaking hip hop...who else would be clever enough to sample Hall & Oates. These guys broke the mold. No one else like Del La, Tribe and JB's. Much Love

[yodasteveo]

Daisy Age ...CLASSIC

[leonrav]

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!

[skateboardsteve409]

this is TIGHT FUNKY SKUNKY MONKEY AND jumpy.

[laurielaugh]

Right on!

"Got beat by da boy in blue!"

[saintandrews83]

[illpk]

i wish itunes had this song, i really want to own it

[paulallen360]

why don't you go out and buy the whole cd the old fashioned way. There is a reissue of 3 Feet High and Rising with a Bonus Disc of great remixes out now. Defntly worth the money.

[JohnnyDeppigX]

yeah but where can i find it man??

[airjor1]

Open your eyes and look mun.

[paulallen360]

Actually, i found mine at a used cd store in mint cond. for like 11 bucks. But, it's def. worth buying new. One of those albums you can listen to all the way through. Go to amazon maybe?

[LaMortadella]

These guys still making music?

[paulallen360]

uhhh, yeah. And they're also touring on Rock the Bells this summer.

[cowbellarrow]

Man, I love these guys.

[couchpotatoe2007]

nah, cant have none of that!

[55dawzy55]

what kind of shit music is this

[couchpotatoe2007]

then dont listen 2 it faggot!

[bigdaddyrakim]

Yeah. It's called LYRICS and a MESSAGE...unlike what's being passed off as hiphop today.

[djtias]

very good message. great band great music.

[Andrew077]

Love this one, still sounds so fresh, and 3 Feet High & Rising is one of my fave albums of all time.

[stashcode]

tell em what to say mace...

[Jaimetottes]

Tiggedy Tight! Great Message! If you can't get down to this song without drugs you SHOULD be worried!

[emileguertin]

Fuck me when that beat kicks in at the top... it's like holy crap, this shit just cannot dig any deeper. Love it.

[redskull2006]

[Morulezz]

[90sHouseTunes]

[tjmac7]

[90sHouseTunes]

Ok, I think its time for you to Jog On.

Switch off your Mums PC and fuck off.

Make love not war.

[tjmac7]

Jog on lol.

Mums pc.. lol. You still fucked up from the

[90sHouseTunes]

Tenner says, I stay in switch on PC and eat potatoes all day.

.............. Thats a tenner you owe me.

[tjmac7]

Lol.. I thought it was deep fried mars bars in Scotland! At least you had the Beta band, what happened to them?

[Andrew077]

Beta Band split in 2004. Robin and John are in The Aliens, and Steve Mason is continuing with King Biscuit Time.
