De La Soul To Give Away Entire Catalog TODAY


In a move reminiscent of the fat man in a red and white suit on the roof of suburban American dreams during the Christian celebratory season of the Jewish Messiah, De La Soul is giving away their entire catalog of classic TRU(GOY) school Hip-Hop. Ironically, for 25 Hours starting at 11 AM today, Valentines Day (Maybe their trying to replace the fat white guy with the fat arrow shooting cherub), you can go to their website, WeAreDeLaSoul.com and get all of this classic material. This is especially beneficial to all the little boys and girls who think Hip-Hop started with Little Wayne and CMB (No disrespect to Weezy, I think what that man has accomplished in his career has simply been unmatched by any MC/artist in the game... he's been doing this since he was 10?!?!?!?!? WHAT!). Go and find out where the Hip-Hop skit was first birthed, discover the errant beat making and production mind of Prince Paul; the triple threat assault weapon we know and love as POS, TRUGOY and MASEO; the conscious altering rhyme styles of the Native Tongues. Hopefully, this will rekindle our love affair with infectious beats, and thought provoking rhymes, although in truth, those two elements haven't gone anywhere but underground... can you say Hip-Hop/De La Soul is Dead! So Head on Over there and get your fix of the Daisy Age and make sure after you've enjoyed your trip down memory lane, you venture off into the other members of The Native Tongue movement. Who knows, this Valentines Day, 'Buddy' might make you a momma or a daddy 9 months from now.
