(Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays

It's De La Soul, From the Soul...

Straight outta 1994 Tommy Boy Records, here's De La slapping hard-core early 90's gangsta rap in the face with this parody jam sampling Al Hirt's cool jazz Harlem Hendoo, as well as laying out the sample for The Roots "Stay Cool" (both of which are quite tasty.

...just playin', here you go America)

Anywho, Enjoy:


Don't know what De La clowns better in this vid:

The hardcore screaming?

The Pool Parties?

Flipping Kool Kieth's (of Ultramagnetic MCs fame) lyrics of
"Switch up change my pitch up / Smack my b*$#h up like a pimp"

with

"Change my pitch up, smack my b*$#h up
....I never did it"


(and thus laying the groundwork for that Prodigy you know you like...
well...
ok niether do we.)

hmmm, hard to tell...

All we know is, you aren't livin' the life without a hat of Straight Cash, Homey


True Story.

(ps...you heard Plug One correctly at 1:30, he's "Somethin' Like a Phenomenon." LL, give dude some props next time, will ya?")
