I Wish De La Soul Still (Didn't) Made Tracks Like This

Pardon the language butchering in the title, but I wish to keep the "I Wish..." thing going.

Taking it back to 96/97, our favorite Plugs have revisited the art form off displaying distaste using parody.



Now I could go back to 91 with Kicked Out The House, but I was less bothered by that particular track, partly because I did not hear it until years later (I owned a cassette copy of De La Soul is Dead); but also because it did not seem -- at least to me -- to be fueled by an us against them mentality, which I feel lead to the creation of...

De La Soul - Baby Baby Baby Baby Ooh Baby


During this period of their career they may have been so focused on championing better morals in Hip Hop, that they didn't realize that this could have been a fun (if not spectacular) track, even without the it's really this simple eye winking. You know, kinda like the track with the telephone sounds that appears a little later in the album.

While I'll always love the Strong Islanders (be easy, Matt), and the first song released from this project was a little better than this one, I still worry that this won't amount to much more than "ha ha...look at us!"

That sort of humor just isn't fresh to me.

Bonus track:

The Beatnuts - Give Me Tha Ass
