Keep hearing reactors marvel at how #Ren has now released an #acoustic live version of #AnimalFlow.

Given his versatility and background in busking, why would we imagine he didn't compose it on guitar initially? Then rework it while mixing the beats for produced version? Only to rework it again when the possibilities of the space they filmed in presented themselves?

Why assume the acoustic version is *derived* from the more choreographed and orchestrated rendition we saw first?

De La Soul - "De La Soul Is Dead" LP

How do you follow up something as groundbreaking at “3 Feet High And Rising”?

At the time of its release, I really didn’t like this album. The production quality is better than their debut for sure, but it’s track list is much more diverse in its sound and song subject matter. It’s overall a bit darker too.

But it does grow on you. I’ve since come to really enjoy this one, minus most of the “skits”.

De La Soul Is Dead sacrifices consistency for lot of pushing-boundaries and a lot of trying to get out of their old style. It works often, but not all the time. Still. It's a classic.

Looking to see if anyone wants to rap over this I may do a more serious take right now the vocal is pretty horrible but wanted to try to get a hook and a kind of flow... but I stink at freestyle. Though I am working on it.

more looking to see if anyone wanted to collaborate specifically to do vocals if I send them a clean track and maybe work on it together?

It's a really rough demo was more doing it to kill time but I like the hook.

Kool Keith’s debut solo album, “Dr. Octagon”

I really liked Ultramagnetic MCs, so I was looking forward to KK’s solo project under his new moniker.

It’s a really creative album that I considered “alternative hip hop” at the time. Post-modern rap that straddles the line between juvenile humor and disturbing imagery.

It’s a concept album focusing on an incompetent, sex-obsessed doctor conducting his rounds as patients die all around him. Keith's crazy lyrics work here because they're backed by some incredibly atmospheric production that gives the album its dark undercurrent.

This same album was released again the following year on a new label, with a revised title “Dr. Octagonecologyst”

Us3 - "Cruising" (1993)

The debut album from British jazz-rap group Us3 really holds up.

Its mixture of jazz and hip-hop, with material from popular jazz musicians of the 20th century being reimagined, is such a cool concept. And all the samples are from old Blue Note Records classics.

Little Simz is the queen. I can’t think of anyone in hip-hop right now better than her. She writes gigantic compositions that aren’t overbearing and is meticulous with her rhythm/intonations while still being loose. And her lyrics are deep.

NPR’s Teresa Xie beautifully captured the essence of my favorite Simz track, “Gorilla,” from her latest record. She noted “Little Simz is here and she wants you to feel it.” Agreed.

Thank you for being a friend. Thank you for the wise words placed in your verses. Thank you for the music you produced that is loved by so many.

we will say "2-2-2-2-222 we got an angel in heaven who can talk to you" Love you Dave! Sincerely, Merce (Pos). Likes 11.2k, 540 comments, 1.1k shares.
Dave - thank you so much for being in my life. Although you and I would argue like hell, we would both admit when we were wrong and totally come full circle and say, "I Love You." | want to truly thank you for having the birds eye view of our collective vision to be a group. Before Trugoy The Dove, I met J.D. Dove aside being called Dave in 1985. I remember your mom calling you Dove, so you've always had wings, so go on and fly into the light, Merce and I will make sure your legacy is well preserved. "We Are De La Soul" for life and after life, but obviously, it will never be the same. On one end I'm happy you no longer have to suffer the pain of your condition but on the other hand I'm extremely upset at the fact that you're not here to celebrate and enjoy what we worked and fought so hard to achieve. Unfortunately, emcees that are in groups very rarely get mentioned, you and Merce are top tier, your contribution as emcees and song writers have inspired many to step up there game. DAMMIT DAVE! to be writing about you in past tense is CRAZY, but at least I got to tell you a lot of this and more except for the part about being named Dove. Let me just end off by saying I am very content and more than reassured about our relationship as brothers because we discussed it thoroughly and solidified what is necessary just in case something happened to
any of us, but who would've thought so soon when there was so much to live for. MY SOUL IS HURTING REALLY BAD, but I want to thank my brother @Plugwondelasoul for digging me out of my hole alongside my wife and children. To all the De La Fans, our peers, constituents and family, thank you for all of your support through this troubling time. AMITYVILLE, ALL OF LONG ISLAND AND HIP HOP CULTURE, PLEASE STAND UP AND SALUTE THE LEGENDARY ICON TRUGOY THE DOVE, PLUG 2 AKA DAVE! YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY MISSED AND WAY TO DOPE TO EVER BE FORGOTTEN…I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH BIG BRO *emojis* MASE

'88. Glorious early hiphop track.

I love the Charles Wright (Eazy-E's uncle) Express Yourself track too. This is such good sample use.

Someone is listening to my album and it isn’t me…

Thanks! 🤘#alternativehiphop #rap #hiphop https://oldmanmikeinnit.bandcamp.com/album/greenback-2

Screenshot of my Bandcamp stats showing somebody has listen to every track on the album so far (the album is greenback)

Chaka Khan's mid 80s cover is one of those good cover departures that I really enjoy because it feels like it properly stands as it's own song vs Prince's 79 original.

Stevie Wonder on Harmonica too iirc.

It's so 1984 it's great 😀

Love the sunkissed laid back grooves, especially the horns, in this french hiphop track.

Solaar is rightly viewed as 1 of the legendary trailblazers of French language hiphop.

Also the the Dancehall remix of Clic Clic is pretty cool, if you want to check it out.
