It scares me how relevant this track still is...in fact, it's even more so now.

These are probably the most “hardcore” their delivery and lyrics have ever been. You can tell they were fed up with the direction of the industry at the time when they made this one 😂

Oh man I cannot go a single day without listening to this record. Modern day events prove this song is very applicable.

It's interesting that when this came out, not many were into this song.They were into whatever that was on the radio at the time. True Hip Hop heads dug it, but it wasn't universally received like it is today. But it seemed like the greatness of this song couldn't be denied. Some had to rediscover it. Most had to discover it and realize it's meaning. However you got here, I'm glad you made it. Took ya long enough. The definition of a slow burn.

A lot of familiar faces in here... Cameos were one of the craziest thing about nineties hip hop. So many chambers of lyrics, bearing a central bulb such that they spark and light comes out whenever they open up; all in one video 🥺

Legendary beat

Does it get any realer. Real hip hop. These were the days when the music I love meant something and was real. What a track still relevant today. Stakes still high!

Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable Man, every word I say should be a hip hop quotable🌼☮

rest in peace Jay, you forever missed.

Got to see them live at the 2nd Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2001 when their current MTV/radio hit was Oooh ft Redman and even though this was essentially a massive rave, DLS were actually one of the few hip hop acts that would get booked at raves so they were one of the headliners and when Oooh came on the entire massive crowd was waving their hands and there was a guy on crutches with a leg in a cast who was even waving his crutches back and forth. It was one of the most hype crowds I've ever been part of. The whole set was sick and was definitely the highlight of the event for me

This is the PINNACLE of true hip-hop! The beat is sick, lyrics dope and the visuals are straight up vibez! Damn…

This song gives me chills

RIP!!!!!! Senior year 1996. This song pivoted my life!

RIP DOVE....DE LA WAS A HUGE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD NO DOUBT

This song gives me the chills And the lyrics aged well

They heard the song sung along, bopped the bop, but they didnt listen. No my brothers they did not listen. Be ready.

This tune is the best hip hop tone for 20 years

So much wisdom in this song...And I really like their voices, faces, melodies, and style

Peace to the two gods in their Ascension back to their final and most powerful form Phife and Trugoy are surely greatness on display or g o d it's 2024 I'm 64 and I'm still banging De La Soul❤

Gun control means using both hands! WORD

RIP Plug 2. Thank you, Dave. Thank you, De La Soul.

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite SONGS ever, of any genre of music.

WOOP !!

I was shook when the video for this track was taken down but now that it's back up I can say it still is amazing. De La Soul to infinity and beyond ! ✌🏼

The message is timeless.
