That's half the reason de la soul is my favorite hip hop outfit. The other half is the beautiful rhymes and the samples they choose. They're some of the most creative when it comes to samples.

Growing up as a punk skater in the late 90's early 2000's I despised rap. Then I found this song by accident and it opened up a whole new world to me. Now I have a newfound respect for old school rap ❤
I relate to this so much, skater of the same era. Grew up on grunge and nu metal, I despised rap up until I was about 8 years old and came across 93 'til infinity - souls of mischief. It opened up a whole new avenue of music for me, from that moment on I was HOOKED on hip hop. It's been my go to genre ever since. Respect from the UK.
We appreciate you recognizing our era of music💯. The 90s had a versatility of music you can relate to & vibe. Hip hop can fit any situation you experience💯. When you listen to it, you can actually picture it as they made the lyrical seem realistic & understanding, relatable 💯. It was much better than this new era of rap. Its trash!
So on point. It really felt like hip Hop was heading this way, more conscious raps, but I suppose every generation has a new set of naive kids that'll get swept up in the superficial bull shit.
You have yourself an awesome woman. I was only 12 when this came out. Caught on years later because I was heavily invested in hip hop. Trying to get my lady into De La being she's 8 years younger than me. She's finally catching on
This is so good. I wish I was alive when De La was at their peak. Just intelligent minded men reflecting their feelings on different situations and thoughts they were having at the time.
The 90's. When rap was actually at its best. All the groups had it going on and DelaSoul was up there. Their own style of uniqueness. They don't make 'em like this no more. #Bittersweet 😅
I randomly heard this song on RUclips in like 2014, and then it got removed not long after. I tried searching for it over the next few years and couldn’t find it. Then finally I was listening to Spotify today and it played with recommended shuffle playlist after I had just finished work on during my drive home. Then I yelled “Breakadawn!!!,De la soul!! I finally found it again!” with a smile on my face. I’m so happy they have the rights to their music again. God bless em’.😊
So I first heard De La Soul in the summer of 2012 as I was getting ready to enter my senior year of high school, I will never forget hearing this song on my Pandora radio and I immediately looked up the video. The style that was used to film this video is just straight up FUNKY and I love it. Rest in Paradise Trugoy DavDove!!!! 🙌✌️🫡
Ugh. So sad about Trugoy the Dove’s passing. Love these guys as much today as I did back in the day. Thank you, De La Soul, for reminding us what it means to put out hip hop with some soul. Soooo much better than the shallow “look at my Lambo, look at my rocks, look at my money and women” BS that is so tired it needs an effing pillow. LOL. RIP, Trugoy.
This is the video I've been waiting for. They took it off all the other youtubers channels. I miss this video. I miss Trugoy. Pos and Mase keep you head up. We rocking with Dela Soul. ❤ from Brooklyn
Man this song takes me back when I was 13 yrs old riding on the train to school...I wish I can go back to the 90s..had lot of fun and this song was perfect
True hip hop! Man the 90s bring back so many memories! Forever classic Era! I wish the Era would come back for awhile! I remember hearing this as a young child! Nostalgic!!
Loved De La Soul in 90s..... somehow lost touch.... and now finding them again. My mind is imploding right now. I'm in love again. Love and respect from Scotland.
1:40 there’s just something so satisfying about how his voice sounds in this song specifically, rest in peace to one of the greatest hip hop legends and fly high trugoy 🕊️
This song has always been my favorite De La track, but it has more weight after December of ‘22, where it helped me get through a difficult period in my life, and after Dave’s passing. Absolutely phenomenal beat; ethereal, and otherworldly! Fantastic storytelling, and flows. It has such a bittersweet feeling that elevates my Soul, like it’s saying “life sucks now, but it will get better.” Amazing
Nice to finally be able to watch this and know the right folks were getting the Pennies. I used this track as an intro to my radio show in university some 30 years ago. One of my favourites.

The first 45 seconds are mesmerizing AF
TRUE, BUT WHY ? :)

This jam never gets old.
I'd happily go back to my youth in the 90's. We lived in the best era for hip hop.
We sure did if only we would’ve known that. It probably would've been more contributions to hip hop💪🏾

That's what dangerdoom did for me in 06. There the reason I listen to rap
Kids got to get it... Hip-hop is Punk.
It's sad that the new generation of rappers who were born in that generation aren't even influenced by these kind of rappers.
Well said
Facts. I still listen too and like this type raps from when I was a kid in the 90s > today's rap

They were possibly at the height of their powers as MCs, here. The flow is absolutely incredible.
93! Magic was in the air
They're Hip-Hop icons
@@prof3ssor178just like the Gorillaz
@@prof3ssor178I wouldn’t say Icons lol To me,they’re like A Tribe called Quest.
An Icon,like Nas,Big,Cube,AZ,Pac,not even in the same league as them
Still flying high as far as I'm concerned. None better.
2:33 "I'm shaking hands with many devils in the industry..." This verse was way too accurate for this legendary Hip Hop group.
And it explains why their discography was for so long forbidden from Spotify, youtube, etc.
Industry rule 4080

This song is a classic. How could it not have more views than this? One of my favorite DLS songs!
Because it's only been up for 6 months the views are going to go up.
It wasn't available for so long but we're going to run it up 😂 this is a hip hop gem.
Every year since early adolescence I find myself comin' back to multiple jointz on this album, never fails
That Michael Jackson sample is timeless
Facts Bro 💯💯 #Blessings
And ‘quiet storm’ by Smokey Robinson
Don't forget those ill Pointer Sister "Yes We Can Can" drums
This was released in '93. MJ's Invincible album didn't come out 'til '99
@@sallyssonI think he means Michael Jackson's "I can't Help It" not break of dawn from invincible.
This song was so slept on
Still slapping this jam 30 years later and loving it. Early 93 my lady and I heard it for the 1st time and was digging it. Still together today
Blessings

beautiful havenskee19 this song will always be special to you.
One of my favorite De La videos 🕊️
De LA Soul's Buhloone Mindstate is a classic album from beginning to end
That track is so ethereal
It's more entertaining that the Gorillaz even make songs with them.
