Del was one of the first backpack nerd rappers ever out and one of the most slept on lyricists of all time. If he was a New York cat he'd be praised like a God MC but because he was from Cali he never got the recognition he deserves. Way ahead of his time.
@@donniebrasco1364 with a name like "Karthik Shivaji" u have no business pretending like u even know what ur talking about, acting like u even know me. Del is from MY era. I bought his 'No Need for Alarm' CASSETTE tape back when he was in his prime and still have it! I was a boy in LA in the 80s and was in high school in the 90s before Souls of Mischief even dropped. I bet you don't even know what Hobojunction was. Stop assuming shit about people, just makes u look foolish.
Nah I think because Hiero were out in Oakland doing their own thing they were able to resist trends that swept the big scenes. Remember more hardcore gangsta stuff hit big in NY too. Nas, Biggie, Wu, Mobb Deep. Even Q-Tip starts Beats, Rhymes, and Life in '96 talking about busting some guy's head open over creepy beats.
Its about time vlad, 3rd eye vision is one of the greatest albums ever made, period. These brothers was light years ahead of time, one of your best vlad
del is cool as fuck. i used to talk to him on aol instant messenger back in 2006, i worked the graveyard shift and del would be the only person online at 4 in the morning. used to talk to him about music, ice t's book, and he sent me some beats he made.
Legend. All things considered, Del & the Hierogylphics Crew, are some of the most prolific, yet underappreciated Artists, within the history of the Hip-Hop Culture.
One of the underground Guru’s right here. True artist and I can honestly say there is no one like Del. Delton 3030 brought me to tears it was sooo epic. Then hearing him on Clint Eastwood my jaw just dropped. So glad I came across him in the late 90’s as a young teenager. Mad respect! Love you Del.
@@shaqpurdie4552 dude! I seen him in concert and he said "Any requests?", and I shouted "Sunny Meadowz" and he literally laughed out loud on stage about it and joked the whole show like "Dude said Sunny Meadowz" I could tell he wanted to do it, but he knew nobody would recognize it, but he actually talked to me after the show. Straight up one of the highlights of my life
Met bruh in Berkeley on Shattuck Ave back in the day. He was making beats on his portable yamaha qy70 workstation. Cool as fuck. This is when bruh had his single on Rap City countdown. Respect from the City.
VLAD YOOOOOO!!!!!! THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE RAPPER OF ALL TIME!!!!! This man's music and rap ability is amazing. I have all his albums. Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics included. Such a dope artist. The best.
Good looking out. Different states have different names for these programs. In Cali, it’s GATE. When I heard him say “GATE”, I had a feeling there would be people going, “huh, gay?”
aha, Del was influenced by Ultramagnetic MC's.....yes people, why? Cause Kool Keith was THE most advanced MC from the 80s....distinctive sounds and big words, Ultramagnetic is truly the most underrated group in hiphop times, Critical Beatdown was a masterpiece, but hardly mentioned.
Saw dude in NYC on the deltron 2020 Shit.. great show...actually AMAZING SHOW. Dude was sitting on stage afterwards telling me and my boy he was tripping his balls off on mushrooms. Innovator isn’t the word..helped make and keep so many memories from my youth. Thank you Del ☝️
Indeed. He is also asking way more about Ice Cube and Gorillaz instead of Del's own stuff. So basically something that is more related to Mainstream audiences and gets more views. If I was Del I would be kinda pissed that half of the interview is about famous stuff he was just a small part of or a famous family member of his.
Long before Pac's nose ring there was Del long long long long before all these other lil dudes. Ice Cube was ashamed of him because he was unique & Cube was trying to create a image & Del was beyond Cubes image. I'm glad he dissed Cube back in the day because Cube fooled us all & Del still was thorough but never was a get with. Causal & the rest of them dudes was hard.
@@Discipleofyeshuahamaschiach think you might be talking about the song X-Files but I take that as calling out the cooycats and trend followers and the record company A&Rs that turned the gangsta rap think into a formula and a marketing scheme, not the originators like his cousin. Ditto some lines on "Del's Nightmare."
When people ask who my favorite MC's are, Q-tip, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Redman, Keith Murray, Del the Funky Homosapien, KRS-One, Ice Cube, Too Short, Gza and a bunch more. The point being, it's not all about B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z, Snoop, Nas etc. I'm a fan of all those guys. But Rap goes deeper than just those few names that always get regurgitated
“We ‘bout to roll to the corner, me and my crew, we ‘bout to roll to the corner and get us some brew, we ‘bout to roll to the corner add some swishers to.. so we can roll a fat blunt and get perved” -Corner story
damn i love this guy music he always stayed true to his music even when gangsta rap sTArted get notice and atention!!! MAN HE DESERVES ALL THE CREDITS AND RESPECT
I will always love and thank rappers like Del, Souls of Mischief, De La Soul, Kool Keith, Pharcyde, People Under The Stairs, Dilated Peoples and Freestyle Fellowship for giving young black men like myself a place in society in terms of hip hop where it was just full of niggas trying to be gangster or hardcore. They showed me that you don’t need to be gangster for approval
This is just amazing. I love hearing these stories. It still blows my mind that 2 of my top 5 favorite rappers are cousins. 2 sides of the same coin. Ice is gangster, Del is a nerd. Just awesome

I always felt that Del was like the west coast Kool Keith. Raw styles, flows, and bugged out concepts.
@@Nigmatics conceptually maybe, but Del is way more lyrically advanced than Kool Keith.

Big, BIG W for Vlad. Lookin out for this one big ups.
Camboy GW real talk bro
Nigga fuck Vlad fuck you too 😶
Dels a real one.
Lucid Soundz Such a rad dude in person. He's great company after a set regardless of the location, always a pleasant humble dude.
good shit Vlad! Del's catalog is slept on but he's one of the illest to ever do it! S/O to whole Hiero crew
ProtectedSouls4 no need for alarm!!!
Hands down one of my fav rappers,skate culture.
Yoooo skate culture hip hop the 90's..
Thats what i am.
Finally an interview with someone worth a damn.
OK Abe, you wonder talent.
Abe Froman? The sausage king of Chicago??
If you sift through the tons of cheese on Vlad you'll find the sick shit
Del has the best voice for speaking and rapping. There are few rappers that have that.
One of the Most Lyrical Emcees Ever #Respect ✌✌🎤
I remember seeing Del in '99 and some kid clowned Cube. Del brought him on stage and killed his soul!!! The kid was near tears. So funny
😂😂😂
Its about time vlad, 3rd eye vision is one of the greatest albums ever made, period. These brothers was light years ahead of time, one of your best vlad
Omgoodness his lyrics are so profound & deep!

thats tight
Thats tight. Del is just a normal dude lmao
Yo I remember them days bro hope u doing well!
I still bump No Need For Alarm... and Deltron 3030 is my favorite album of 2000.
Kory Green Deltron 3030 is one of the best albums of all time period
@@itsyourscenttv.7040 without a doubt. Ahead of its time.
Del's rhyming on Deltron 3030 changed how I viewed life.
I need to listen this tomorrow
I tried to today but got sidetracked
One of the most underrated lyricists of all time!
Been waiting on this interview. His album I Wish My Brother George Was Here I still listen too it til this day.
his second album was much better to me
Legend.
All things considered, Del & the Hierogylphics Crew, are some of the most prolific, yet underappreciated Artists, within the history of the Hip-Hop Culture.

Shouts out to Del and the whole Hiero crew.
I Wish My Brother George Was Here.

Del is my second favorite MC of all time. He is supremely and criminally underrated.
WOW ain't heard from this guy in a few LOVED his shit when I was younger
Yes. Been waiting for this . No need for alarm is one of my favourite albums ever.
Martin Henderson good taste
Bet! Future Development is my shit, but No Need 4 Alarm is right there wit' it...
KIRKO RAMA & both sides of the brain followin that
Good to kno there is still love for that part of hip hop thats the sound im studying
Martin Henderson future development is too intelligent...future development too too intelligent
Dope freestyler, lyricist, battle rapper, writer, & ghost writer! One of the best mc's to do it on multiple levels! & he's good with story telling.
Good Looking out,Vlad. Del the Funky Homosapian,Souls of Mischief and the whole Hieroglyphics click has always been my favorite crew in the Bay area.
Met bruh in Berkeley on Shattuck Ave back in the day. He was making beats on his portable yamaha qy70 workstation. Cool as fuck. This is when bruh had his single on Rap City countdown. Respect from the City.
Man del had a hit song in 91 this dude still looks young , loving and creating music is the fountain of youth
Del one the realest in the game. Time for another Del & Hiero album
Del is one of the most slept on emcees! He's top 5 imo
VLAD YOOOOOO!!!!!! THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE RAPPER OF ALL TIME!!!!! This man's music and rap ability is amazing. I have all his albums. Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics included. Such a dope artist. The best.
Respect to vlad for this interview, I'm still waiting on the madlib interview
Loved his Protoculture track with the Darkstalkers 2 sample. "We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster"
KEN WINS Yo Proto Culture was my SHIT...and EVERY TIME I play Darkstalkers I think of Del. Sir DZL is a LEGEND.
Raise it bit by bit
Clicked on this video so fast! One of the most unique MC's ever.
dapernz right
"G.A.T.E." class.. Gifted and Talented Education.. for the people who thought he said he was in "Gay" class
MrMaccntosh7up 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 good lukin out! I pulled the slide back 3 or 4 times and was like...’did he just say gay class?’ 😆
Good looking out. Different states have different names for these programs. In Cali, it’s GATE. When I heard him say “GATE”, I had a feeling there would be people going, “huh, gay?”
MrMaccntosh7up Thanj you. Lol I was confused.
I was in that shit too lol
@@dmphotography.prints 😂😂😂
We listened to ‘Catch A Bad 1’ in New Zealand
For all the kids out there, check out "No Need for Alarm" from Del. So Dope!!
I wish my brother george was here is equally as good

the fuckin legend
I haven't seen Del since the 90's "get off my couch."He looks just like I would have imagined him to look 20 years later. Del been dope.
A legend who opened the door for other legends in the rap game.
NAMELY EMINEM!!
No Need for Alarm still bangs, 24 years strong.
Need that 25 year anniversary joint.
A hip-hop classic

About Damn time someone interviews Del
All of Del's music is fire.

We opened for him in 2014 he’s a fuckin legend
Saw dude in NYC on the deltron 2020 Shit.. great show...actually AMAZING SHOW. Dude was sitting on stage afterwards telling me and my boy he was tripping his balls off on mushrooms. Innovator isn’t the word..helped make and keep so many memories from my youth. Thank you Del ☝️

All praises to Del and the entire Hiero Crew
Del is one of my favorite emcees. Thanks Vlad, and happy holidays!
To all the kids that don't know this was Schoolboy Q before the Schoolboy Q you all know
YES!!! Finally a real MC!
Occasionally Vlad interviews a real GOAT like Del and deserves some clout. Here's your W, Vlad but you're still a vulture 😒
