Mac commercial - De La Soul

[ChopShop1200]

I' m sorry for de la soul this is a dumb commercial.

[elbjornbjorn]

with a mac you can make sure it goes ooooooh ooooooh oooooh oooooh. wow, apple invented the sampler apparently. nothing but love for de la though

[10lettername]

lol who the fuck is saying de la soul is selling out? they couldn't sell out if they were on a bottle of coca cola.

and that's a good thing

[greenpeacemyass]

Don't know if anyone even said that they sold out, cba to check. This has nothing to do with selling out, because their music in itself isn't changed, but they're using commercials to sell it. And Mac sells computers too, so it's win win, nothing to do with selling out.

But if they would make a song about Macs, that would be to sell out. Or if they changed their style to fit the current best selling style, only trying to get money, that would be to sell out.

People assume someone insulted De La

[frhwk03]

I don't like that redman is playing instead of one of their songs.

[slytown]

Is it wrong to promote any tools you use then? What if Q-Bert wants to do a Technics commercial? Selling Nikes is one thing, but computers are tools.

Also, artists get more exposure through commercials. When Nick Drake's song "Pink Moon" was in that VW commercial his music got a huge boost in popularity.

[JPJOSHUAPERRETT]

what is the name of the tune in the background

[nastyNST]

oooh by de la soul + redman  watch?v=fgeKABhgj-E

[roboshuffle]

De La Soul and Apple Computers.

Pioneers and two of my most favourite things.

[DocSkribblez]

I love this commerical and I love how Pos was the only one not even moving his lips to say, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh.."

[craigtubaplaya]

MACs are really good computers. MAC rules baby!!

[PhilipVZP]

What is a MAC? In think you mean a Mac? o.O Seriously why would you capitalize all 3 letters...

[craigtubaplaya]

Well excuse me. I meant Mac. You know what I mean.

[PhilipVZP]

I know what you meant, but really Macs suck.

[deepsleep1234]

dude your dumb as shit

[wakeyskate]

if you a fat chick gettin ya fuck on tonight then go......

ooooh ooooh ooooooh ooooooooh

[lordoid]

Hey...one of my favorite Bands and Computer in a commercial. :P

Has nothing to do with sold out. I'm pretty shure they use Macs at home and in the studio. It's a damn good computer!

[bjorno2583]

fuck you talking about sell outs!! these guys have stayed true to the game for almost 20 years!!!!!!!

[yayKFC]

as much as love de la soul they made they're own nike's and they used to be against all that stuff

[demonology1]

yeh i was just thinking that being in an advert for apple mac's is a bit hippocritical of them

[ruslanio]

@demonology1 Maybe they really do use Macs, and just so you know most of the professional studios out there are equipped with Macs, where they probably recorded.

[demonology1]

all i was saying is its hippocritical for them to be seeling macintoshes, self-contradictory saying they used to hate corperations and shit

[DoubleLwithWARZONE]

@demonology1 because they like macs and not other coperations, its just a computer calm down

[greenpeacemyass]

@yayKFC Firstly, people change their way of thinking when they grow up. Second, when were they against having a business on the side? They sold donuts in 1991.

[crackheadbuttsniffer]

dont diss de la soul ill smack the shit outta yo ass

[DanMorgan98]

Fuck these sell out motherfuckers.

[VincentVega44]

how the flip did they sell out. for all u know they LOVE macs. and theyre repping the product they respect. ...

[marcushartung]

fake

[technologic21]

they've always been true to what they do. how many hip-hop acts today can say they've been together for 20+ years?

so what if they do a Mac add. Macs are better anyways!

[dtrainbitches]

Sold out? C'mon it's just a fucking computer it's not like they're endorsing grillz or some other bullshit. De La's the truth.

[unconvinced]

De la sold.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

hahaha

[HauieBeast]

Yeah, far out. If you had told them 15yrs ago that they'd be doing this, they'd put their knuckles on stun.

But, hell...they've done more than enough for hip hop so let em get some paper if Mac wanna hand it out to hip hop artists. They deserve it.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

yeah, i dig. W/e, no point trying to help a world thats pretty much a lost cause anyways eh? playing the role model and seeing only a few people change isn't as rewarding as some might think...I can understand

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

wow, i thought they were cool, but they must have really sold out to do something like this

[amplifysoul]

cats like you and unconvinced a stupid.... how did they sell out? they were being themselves and got paid for it in a commercial. if they would of changed who they are or present themselves as for the commercial, then you can say sell out. they took opportunity and made the best out of it..... idiot.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

first off. materialism, according to them, is not important. Mac=huge capatilistic enterprise that only threatens a thriving economy by containing wealth that could be shared instead of horded by 4 fat guys. According to De La Soul they believe it's all about "having a good message". "cats like you and unconvinced a stupid" What the hell are you talking about? What does that even mean?

[aidenhartdegen]

Hey :)

Steve Jobs is quite fit.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

lol :P

[lvngdead]

fuck a mac.

de la soul gets a pass this time cause they so sick.

[paulisnotdeadprime]

shut the fuck up windows is big big shit!

mac is the best computer in the world!

[lvngdead]

bisexual light skinned europeans use macs.

fuck this commercial.

[paulisnotdeadprime]

lol u're american so u think u are better than europeans? fuckin' fascist pig!

[lvngdead]

Americans are europeans, wtf are you talking about? Where the fuck did the original americans come from? EUROPE!!!!!

No, I'm not american.

[paulisnotdeadprime]

i know they come from europe but if u say that so everybody is african because the first humans were in africa

[ccross112233]

im gonna go buy a mac now!!!!! NOT haha

[necrofan420]

when i was learning 2 produce at skool we used pro tools on mac alot better 4 sum reason then microsoft.

[mudvillekid]

i never thought that i would see this day.a commercial?

[XxiLLViLLAiNxX]

Still coulda been done on a PC. FLAME AWAY!

[tomgair360]

why is plug two not called trugoy as much, that was a sweeeet name

[FroggyMe6581]

Do you mean Amiga or Atari 1040ST? Both were good music computers, but I think you mean Atari.

[vertex21]

Man- it looks like plugone really doesn't want to be there...

[uuurrr123456]

its too bad they sold out!

[devote]

sold out..?

how..?

The grind date was dope as hell.

[taelue]

exactly, de la has stayed true, they did NOT sell out.

[FirstClassHeel]

Just because they did one commercial doesn't mean they sold out.

[StoicTwo]

Another mix up person!? Lmao!

-StoicOne!

[aznativethug]

how'd they sell out? some kid that "thinks" he likes rap will watch this commercial and it can change his view of hip hop! they just opening peoples eyes.

[mmacbeats]

ah mannn

[welzofstel]

I still write all my beats on a first generation Apple Mac G3. Works like a charm...

[Skeeterbag]

*LOL* Ah yeah freqazoidiac...had an Amiga 1040st myself back in the day.

[Falkonze]

haha, nice one

[freqazoidiac]

well, hope they got some free 'schwag' for that one, even though I never saw it aired.. truth be told, most hip hop is made on a mac! (a lot of classic hip hop was made on an amiga 1040st for that matter)

[02Stratus]

It did air though. I caught that commercial quite a few times.

[WILLTILL11]

no air play...its a shame...

[TheInfamousKyle]

When Did They Do This?
