DJ Shadow – “Rocket Fuel” feat. De La Soul (Video)
November 21, 2019
My peoples at Bad Magics hit me with another one! New De La Soul and DJ Shadow collabo off that new “Our Pathetic Age” album.
“Rocket Fuel†is a hard-charging reemergence for DJ Shadow, long celebrated as a pivotal artist in experimental, instrumental Hip-Hop. The song explodes with stacks of vocal samples, horns, Shadow’s dazzling DJ scratch work and a muscular performance from the legendary rap crew De La Soul.

April 20, 2017
YOOOOO! This jawn BANGS!! Beatz & Lyrics on display (nice working in that ‘Phoenix’ sample from Tariq in the breaks). Every lyricist bringing drive; racing down the J. Period track like we gotta get there. Where? To the revolution!
What does it mean to “RISE UP?” What does it mean to RESIST?

The Making Of De La Soul’s “Three Feet High And Rising”
March 27, 2017
Mass Appeal kept the storytelling going; beyond its dope documentary effort “De La Soul Is Not Dead” (posted on here earlier) to tell the story of how the trio’s seminal album (“Three Feet High And Rising”) ultimately came to be.
…we dig deeper into the De La files to bring you an untold story in the words of two Tommy Boy Records staffers. Rod Houston—who elevated from mail room, to assistant to Tom Silverman, to the head of the label’s music video department—and Bryan Adams, the label’s long-time head of publicity. During an interview that didn’t make the final cut for the film, they shared details of De La Soul’s earliest studio sessions, how De La first got down with Tommy Boy and why their debut album almost didn’t include that monster hit that would change the course of their lives forever.
Tommy Boy Records, George Clinton…Â and they went all the way back to early Stetsasonic. Wow. Worthy reading!

De La Soul Is Not Dead (Documentary)
September 9, 2016
Gotta love the insistence of these recent De La Soul documentaries. Earlier, we posted “We’re Still Here” on the DayGlow Bros. Now, we get a “De La Soul Is Not Dead” documentary… that is so dope! And you gotta love that Prince Paul (The Doo Doo Man, DJ for legendary Hip-Hop crew Stetsasonic) kicks this thing off & narrates, being so integral to the Soul’s success from jump!
Guaranteed that even the most knowledgeable De La fans will get something from watching this.

De La Soul – “Greyhounds” feat. Usher
August 24, 2016
Can you believe there are still more bangers to drop from De La Soul’s new album “and the Anonymous Nobody…” though? You should, because here is another – “Greyhounds” featuring Usher. So dope… and there’s a story behind this jawn, too.
We were taking a break from recording to drive and get some food. Along the way we passed the bus station and someone in the car said, in a tour guide voice, “and to the left is the bus station where people come from everywhere to get their piece of Hollywood.” I immediately thought that would be a great song, having the entry and departure point of the story be the Greyhound bus station. A few weeks later, music from a jam session presented itself as a perfect fit for that subject, birthing the song “Greyhounds.”
