| SRSLY peed by the label Hippie-Hop (and getting dissed on Arsenio), De La brung ahrt viss. Still off-beat, but with a strong and idiosyncratic identity. It blew the lid off the cliches attached to them via the 10% and established them as a powerfully and permanently powerhouse on the Hip-Hop map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdrS7mpmiC4&list=PLP_l8HApDerFjyxq5MnjhFc7-eejh27nnProper track list (27 tracks)... 1. "Intro" 2. "Oodles of O's" 3. "Talkin' Bout Hey Love" 4. "Pease Porridge" 5. "Skit 1" 6. "Johnny's Dead AKA Vincent Mason (lftBKl)" 7. "A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays" 8. "WRMS' Dedication to the Bitty" 9. "Bitties in the BK Lounge" 10. "Skit 2" 11. "My Brother's a Basehead *" 12. "Let, Let Me In" 13. "Afro Connections at a Hi 5 (In the Eyes of the Hoodlum)" 14. "Rap de Rap Show" 15. "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa" 16. "Who Do U Worship? *" 18. "Kicked Out the House * 19. "Pass the Plugs" 20. "Not Over till the Fat Lady Plays the Demo" 21. "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" 22. "WRMS: Cat's in Control" 23. "Skit 4" 24. "Shwingalokate" 25. "Fanatic of the B Word" 26. "Keepin' the Faith" 27. "Skit 5" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_La_Soul_Is_Dead https://www.discogs.com/release/100131-De-La-Soul-De-La-Soul-Is-Dead _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| I saw about 4 seconds of one of their songs that wasn't Me, myself and I on the breakers section of Top of the Pops, it sounds pretty good… 73:30 |

| It is a bit long, true.
My feeling is that Hip-Hop/rap might need to have yet another subforum called "Graffiti Alley".
Y'know, racialism and all that...
Some people here might genuinely not like or understand the genre. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| If you stripped the skits it'd be about 45 minutes.
"Bitties In The BK Lounge" is one of the best songs ever.
I think Wendi would love "A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"". _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| I think that if we get worn out we could stop after "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa". _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| That was acceptable as a opening to an epic album.
