Forever a Classic! ✌🏽

I was in secondary school in the UK when this first came out. This was the era of real hip hop that we grew up listening to.

When I was young I hated the rap that was on the radio and was talking to an older guy about it and he wrote down a couple artists I should listen to and DLS was one of them. Took me on a journey of discovering hip hop in a whole new way and this music became a huge part of my life, and I'll be forever grateful

Complete classic, thank you De La Soul for these incredible records. RIP TRUGOY 🙏🏽🕊️

I haven't heard this version in years. Real chills

This song still hits 34 years later. R.I.P. Dave.

This groups catalog has aged so well over the years. And I loved it when it came out but now, these words mean even more to me. #DeLa4Ever!

Props to De La for this amazing album and Parliament Funkadelic for the source of amazing samples on this track. Hip Hop was my gateway to 60s/70s jazz and funk!

My all time favorite Da La Soul song EVERRRRRR!!!!! So many college memories when I hear them, it hurts sometimes! R.I.P. Dove Plug 1!🙏🏿
