Enjoy!
I was watching a Youtube video and this song was playing in the background. I knew right away it was De La Soul, but had to listen carefully to catch the lyrics so I could search for the name of the whole song. I wasn't about to just start typing in 'oooh oooh oooh oooh'. Well, turns out I should've because that's actually the name of this track! Straightforward. Succinct. So De La, so Redman.
I just love the simple background instrumental. Redman is such a big personality that he doesn't need much under him to really make a song groove. The De La crew are legends in this rap game, renowned for their socially conscious lyrics and amazing production skills. They've been together for longer than I've been alive, and their influence can be felt in the music of essentially every hip-hop musician performing today. Their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, is the perfect soundtrack for a walk on a bright, sunny day. Go ahead, listen to any of the tracks and I guarantee you'll feel energized. This song continues in that vein, which is why I like it so much.
Also, be sure to check out the MTV Cribs episode featuring Redman that I have featured under 'Fun Links' over on the right ------------->
We're witnessing a truly grounded individual who knows what he likes and never asks for more. Not even for a doorbell.
