It's a shame but understandable. Personally, I love it and always smile just hearing that intro and sample. They've done so much great music since too.
just weird how things workout. That's why I love hearing the back stories of my favorite songs, this one is so cool. big up to Tom Silverman for his know-how and Big Up to Prince Paul for getting on it and producing a great track for the song, that's why he's one of the greatest Hip-Hop Dj/Producers and one of my favorites
@@DjTIMEJD true, a agree with you I’m all for the artist. But what I mean was at the time , if it wasn’t for that making of the single due to Silverman‘s input where would they be? Maybe they would have made it anyway because of their great talent but at the time it help their career.
I remember there was a concert version on the extended cd version, and they just start chanting the shit we hate, the shit we have, we hate this song hate this song, we hate this song hate this song and right as the funkadelic knee deep beat starts they say love the song come on everybody love the song
George Clinton said their version sounded "Weird" but he was still down for De La Soul. So y'all hated having to use "Knee Deep" for the radio, and Uncle George called De La Soul version of his shit "Weird" anyway. Who got the last laugh?
Just started watching this (I was 12 or 13 when this song came out), I'm getting "cherry pie" vibes🥶. Jani Lane of Warrant tells a very similar story, the album was done, the A&R guy from the record company called him. : we need a top 40 radio hit, where's Love in an Elevator, I need a song like that, he wrote cherry pie that night, it became what they are famous for, and he hated it, you can likely easily find the clip anour how he felt zbour their legacy being cherry pie
Knee Deep was a super obvious sample, almost the anthesis of the rest of the samples. For a laymen it was the most accessible and palatable entry to De La Soul.
Without that song, there's no "I Am, I Be", and that song is a beautiful expression of the growth the members of the band went through between the recording of both tracks.

One my favorite old Skool songs. Reminds me of my senior yr in high school. I wore this song OUT in my Hyundai Excel hatchback😎🎶
Prince Paul is still a mad genius, made one of the coolest songs on my generation.
It’s unbelievably catchy, especially with that 2/4 break
LOVE IT!!!!! can't NOT move to it! Loved it then and love it now!!!
Exactly 💯
Yeah, for real. And this is one of my most fav songs from back then too.

Now that I'm 3rd degree it's *eye" opening to see just how many brothers are out there sharing the light in plain "sight"
It's alright team, Spotify hates it too apparently
No more! 😍🥰
That synthesizer is amazing. It reminds of the old retro sonic the hedgehog soundtrack only better cause it's not 2-bit
Daaaaaaaang. Almost missed out on a classic. That would have been the worst.
love this song

anyone else hear lois griffin say "petah" mid beat lmao
I don't understand this at all - to me the song isn't much different than the other stuff on the album.. how is it more radio ish?
