@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 Nah man not Del. I'm sayin Gorillaz are legendary for a lot people who are currently between 25 and 35. The first two Gorillaz albums were huge when we were in school and the guest spots on those albums were what introduced a lot of people around my age to Del and DOOM. I had never heard of Del before Clint Eastwood and now I'm a huge fan.
AntoineMalveaux agree. From start to finish. First heard it in 10th grade and it blew my mind. Definitely a classic. The underground is where real hip hop lives. The mainstream is for suckers.
Just in case Dell ever reads this: Yeah the video was cool. But what this song made so great was your part Dell. Just to be clear, when clint eastwod came out, i was about 12, and i didn't understand english at all. Your flow made me want to understand. And years later when my english got better, this song stayed just as cool, if not, it got cooler. I'm being real, here.
I saw him play in the early 2000's in London, Ontario. After a few songs he asks the crowd, "who likes nintendo?" crowd goes wild.. he then asks "who likes sega" crowd boos.. he gets furious says "yall dont like sega?" "Fuck yall then" does a song or two and ends the show early... lol
Hahaha that doesn't surprise me at all! I actually met him in Albuquerque and he was incredibly down to earth. Signed my skateboard even though security wasn't happy about it, and he was like "hold up I was just on my board before the show" Literally one of the best nights of my life
@@mikechamberlain9558 As an old Nintendo fan boy I must say Sega gave them competition at the peak of their game, so yeah Sega definitely deserves credit where it's due, and for what it's worth I personally prefer the genesis over the SNES, and I think the Dreamcast was a fantastic system, but they just marketed it poorly
You can tell his passion is in visual arts. The way he opens up when talking about Tank Girl, the interviewer has to drag him back to the music world and he wants to keep talking about the illustrations. Really amazing.
Del is a true Japanese Domestic Market gamer. If anyone hasn't already listen to his song Proto Culture. Del fucking knows lol He's talking about importing Xenogears from Japan before the US release
DEL is definitely right Deltron 3030 is a work of art that never got recognition in sales but fans love it. I listened to the entire album again after not hearing it for years and it's still a genius work of art.
His Clint Eastwood verses are sickening. That song haunted my childhood. Saw Gorillaz live and when this song comes on, 20 years later, I've never felt that type of energy at a show. Legendary.
No doubt about it, his first 4 albums are instant classics, but to be honest his best effort is Both Sides of the Brain in 2000, that is his masterpiece.
Del goated for this. You can tell how much he doesn't want to talk about himself and how all of this was born solely based on how much he loved Jamie Hewlett's work.
It’s not that he knows the name, it’s that he actually refers to it as Rockman that’s fucking hilarious. Never heard anyone actually call Megaman, Rockman lmao
His style went so well with the Gorillaz. Flowed together perfectly. He is the best part of that song. Whenever my bff and I would sing it, we'd fight each other like hell over who got Del's part ("Finally somebody let me out of mah cagee...").
"Oh!" "Aha!" "I've never actually seen Gorillaz before" *proceeds to interview Del about the origins of Gorillaz* This fucking guy man, absolutely killing me hahhahahahaha
Honestly though! The whole time, I’m looking at the interviewer like “have you been living under a rock?” If you’re gonna talk about one song, at least have some background to who made it
"Oh the same artist that did Tank Girl? I never made that connection." Then you aint never seen anything Tank Girl because the art legit looks exactly the same as Gorillaz art lol
he's asking the obvious questions to incite exposition from Del...for the audience....in case the audience doesn't know who these artists are. it worked, once he started talking about the Funky Homosapien his eyes lit up!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 not enough of us can understand the “hieroglyphics” ... sadly. Because the sooner we understand the sooner we can communicate with the “alien”
Shutup. Don’t ever disrespect Kanye. Del became a hit from other peoples efforts. left up to him you still wouldn’t have heard from him. Know the difference and know hip hop culture because you speak as if you don’t know either. You’re stuck on what media tells you. Dan the Automator < Kanye.
Gotta say glade he jumped on it cause back in the day it was hard to find low key rappers; I bought the Gorillaz album just cause of his verses to find out his name.
Same kinda. I knew Del already and i heard Clint Eastwood but it didn't click until i looked up who rapped that part and that made me like him even more. Cause at first i thought it was just someone who sounded like him.
Knowing that Del kinda just said "fuck it, I'll write something for it" says to me he wasn't really throwing his best stuff down. And let me tell you, if that's not Del's best shit, he is ine of the greatest rappers of all time. Cause his verses on that song are fucking insanely good. Fucking legend. Nothing but respect for this badass.
Funniest thing is that I work in the music industry...been in it since 1996. I remember reaching out to Del's folks about a bunch of money he had sitting for him for the "Clint Eastwood" record and they had no clue it had generated so much paper. Dope interview here.
Prah Eightsixty Yeah these kids always are saying someone is on crack. I suggest you guys look at your Trap artists for that. If you don't know Del, stfu.
I used to have Deltron3030 on repeat for after finding it back in 07-08, still one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard. Del is one of the most underrated rappers of all time. - fan from Texas
The way Del speaks about the music and art industry in such a frank and open way without ultra narrativizing it is super respectable, and I think gives genuine insight into the process behind these pieces.
Deltron 3030 is a true gem.. Unlike any other project, really. The numerous guests all seamlessly blended together, sans EGO; creating a genuine masterpiece in the process. Bloody brilliant
Shabba Labba just because the project wasnt a “big deal” at the time for him doesn’t mean he forfeits the right to be compensated properly for his work. More than half the song is him rapping his lyrics. Them dudes have made plenty of other money from all their other work. They can afford to pay him properly for their biggest song
I specifically looked up Clint Eastwood on Wikipedia to find out who did the rap parts. Loved it since it was released. The dude's voice in an of itself is just so smooth ad pleasent to listen to. I'm not even big on the rap genre in general, but what he did in that song was straight perfection. Hopefully I'll find some other stuff he's made. That voice better not have gone unutilized >:(
If anyone ever tells you people from Cali are all assholes you show them this video and prove them wrong. Del is like the pinnacle of "chill dude from CA" and he's humble af. Dude is a legend.

I saw him with Heiroglyphics at Brooklyn bowl, was hoping he could bust out his Clint Eastwood verse. Didn't happen, but he gave us our money's worth with dope lyrics.
As a fan of THE Gorillaz, I like to make sure when I talk about them, I'm talking about the band and not the animal. Say " I like Gorillaz" out loud. You'll sound more like a zookeeper and less like a fan.

damn! been listening to Del since the early 90s and I've never seen him once. always pictured him as a thick dude based on his boom. pretty funny seeing him after all this time.
He's on the his first album cover holding a tiny boom box with a hieroglyphics sticker on it ,,,,that's from 93,so when did you actually start listening to him ??
some friends and i met del at a skate demo in simi valley in like 2008. he was rapping while p-rod and ryan sheckler we skating, after his set he just chilled for the rest of the demo. we said hello and he gave us his time and chatted with us. incredibly gracious and cool dude
i thought exactly the same but ita probably related to his name. everybody hearing it think wtf s this? "water Mcs like a bay shore"! His delivery just excellent but his rap voice sounds so different.
@@dimitriosmoure6583 I think it’s better to assume that he obviously knows who they are, but it’s better for the artist being interviewed to answer that question other than everyone just being under the assumption that everyone knows what’s happening. It feels less pretentious.
Del has been a favorite of mine since No Need For Alarm. One of my favorites. I’ll never forget when I was living in SLC circa 96… I woke up and went outside for a smoke. My neighbors were skaters and they were outside skating with Del. Next thing you know we were blazing playing PlayStation for the afternoon. Went to the show that night. Killer!
He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Was given a plot/theme to rap about and wrote and recorded those lyrics in 30 minutes. That shit's wild man.
Some if the best and catchiest song in history were throw away songs or made in a day. Sometimes spending too much time on something pollutes the raw art.
My world just got rocked. I knew 'If you must' from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, vaguely remembered the artists name. It popped in my head so I looked it up. Now I find out he did 'mistabobalina' and the best part of the song that was CONSTANTLY in my head as a teen and still, to this very day, I regularly sing the verses in my head. This is wild. I'm off to see what Deltron is all about.
It's called "Clint Eastwood" because of the harmonica that plays along with the phrase "Sunshine in a bag" which comes from his movie "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."
I was already thinking this but when it got to the part where he was talking about MTV... That video premiered on Cartoon Network. It takes 2 minutes to read that on Wikipedia
My best friend passed away 2010 and the last song he listened to on his iPod was Clint Eastwood. Saw del live a year or two later in Austin tx. Unreal show
Niceee. I once ran into him at a bar and got his autograph. I never get starstruck with famous people. I gives a f### about famous people, but I ran into Del, OMG I was straight shell shocked or something.
Used to go to the CD store every Tuesday. First time I heard Del was a cassette tape in a dollar store...was very hype when I heard Del on Gorillas since I bought it on cover alone that Tuesday
His Clint Eastwood verses are classic classic rap. He killed that shit
Yes! Classic and beautiful example of using your mind as your company. Excellent product. #MentalCo #Love

Damn true.
He didnt write the Song, Just his bit of the lyrics
@TCT no it would be good with or without his verse
He didn’t write the song. He only did his verse

Del one of the most underrated rappers. Souls of Mischief one of the best groups. Hieroglyphics some of the best crews anywhere

Vlad didn't even know that only damon was writing the music for gorillaz.
Yes, or maybe he is ignorant and can't study the basics of whom he is interviewing
@@dimitriosmoure6583 I think it’s better to assume that he obviously knows who they are, but it’s better for the artist being interviewed to answer that question other than everyone just being under the assumption that everyone knows what’s happening. It feels less pretentious.
His page is mostly based around rap culture so it makes sense he didn't know
@@jasonfoster4644 when he knows a topic he talks more than the interviewee himself.
And if it's basic knowledge, he shouldn't make it awkward
@@Chuwopington he should have researched it. So lazy of him not to.
The Track He Does with DINOSAUR JR on the "Judgement Night" Soundtrack is my shit.
Christopher R. Palmyra 🎨🏆👈
sclapione 1993 Judgement Night soundtrack
Christopher R. Palmyra great soundtrack start to finish!
cory czerwinski yes it is, my favorite soundtrack of all time.
dat's hella ringworm
Del has been a favorite of mine since No Need For Alarm. One of my favorites. I’ll never forget when I was living in SLC circa 96… I woke up and went outside for a smoke. My neighbors were skaters and they were outside skating with Del. Next thing you know we were blazing playing PlayStation for the afternoon. Went to the show that night. Killer!
Del is the cool nerd from the hood that hood dudes won’t ever test, Because he is so gangster him self.
Pretty sure the original rappers were Phi Life Cypher from the UK, There's a version on UA-cam
yep
That version is fire! I play it just as much as the del version
Richard Williams yes it’s also on g-sides
"You know what I mean?" **SNIFF**
He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Was given a plot/theme to rap about and wrote and recorded those lyrics in 30 minutes. That shit's wild man.
While he was recording Deltron 3030.
Some if the best and catchiest song in history were throw away songs or made in a day. Sometimes spending too much time on something pollutes the raw art.
My world just got rocked. I knew 'If you must' from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, vaguely remembered the artists name. It popped in my head so I looked it up. Now I find out he did 'mistabobalina' and the best part of the song that was CONSTANTLY in my head as a teen and still, to this very day, I regularly sing the verses in my head. This is wild. I'm off to see what Deltron is all about.
He is Higher then the Wind Mill in the " Feel Good inc " song they have...
The original rappers on Clint Eastwood were some rappers from the UK called Phi-Life Cypher.
Love how he didn't perk up during the interview until he started talking about Megaman
jamie hewitt and damon albarn were flatmates during the 90's. A glorious time to live in the UK
Hewlett?
yes
Jamie Hewlett is Banksy, fyi
@@jimmygrizz9341 no. its the guy from massive attack
@@stevebb2915 no it’s not
It's called "Clint Eastwood" because of the harmonica that plays along with the phrase "Sunshine in a bag" which comes from his movie "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."
Gotta love interviewers who don't do their research haha
I was already thinking this but when it got to the part where he was talking about MTV... That video premiered on Cartoon Network. It takes 2 minutes to read that on Wikipedia
His two verses on Clint Eastwood are legendary
Vlad does no research huh??? An interview of “oh huh, I don’t know what you’re talking about”
His research is a quick Wikipedia glance. Prob has an (unpair) intern do it actually.
yeah it's honestly embarrassing....
He don’t know shit.
How can you walk in so unprepared.. it’s disrespectful and lazy.
This Man Chill As Hell
Wow, the fact that he just basically went in and spit that verse with little to no preparation, just makes it that much more amazing...
Shouts out to Stinky for inspiring If You Must
Anyone remember him on the Judgement night soundtrack, with Dinosaur JR, now that’s a classic track
One of my favorite tracks ever!
del is such a humble and real dude
When dude said “Rock man” I was like NO WAY!!! Del is a true comic fan. Mega mans OG name.
My best friend passed away 2010 and the last song he listened to on his iPod was Clint Eastwood. Saw del live a year or two later in Austin tx. Unreal show
Saw Del live in Orlando in 2014.. one of the dopest shows I’ve ever been to.
Keep the del interviews coning
Del your existence in hip hop was Magnificent!
I loved Deltron 3030 but I had no idea it was inspired by Megaman X. Gotta play those games already...
JURASSIC 5, PHARSYDE, HYROGLIPHICS, PLANET ASIA, GORILLAZ....MOS DEF AND TALIB ...all got me through High School and college in the late 90's
The original verses on the track were by Phi Life Cypher.
I've seen del 3 times and had the pleasure to opened for him once.. he ALWAYS freestyles the lyrics to "Clint Eastwood".. ALWAYS
Niceee. I once ran into him at a bar and got his autograph. I never get starstruck with famous people. I gives a f### about famous people, but I ran into Del, OMG I was straight shell shocked or something.
I remember staying up all night to catch Clint Eastwood on MTV when I was a kid
One of my Favorite MC's of all time!
the funky homosapien is chillin! til 93
Used to go to the CD store every Tuesday. First time I heard Del was a cassette tape in a dollar store...was very hype when I heard Del on Gorillas since I bought it on cover alone that Tuesday
