I saw that exact tour in Indianapolis, Indiana on Dec. 18th, 1993…That was the night that Tip and Phife from A Tribe Called Quest got into a fight with each over about a girl or something…
This song was on every answering machine at the time. Yes young folk an answering machine, a separate piece of equipment connected to your phone with a mini cassette tape in it !
There is so much imagery that has flickered in my mind for so many years watching vids as a kid until I watched this again a few years ago and realized where it was coming from. Such simple visual setups yet paired with the memorizing beat, it makes this a video that's whole equal so much more than the parts. It is brilliant after all of these years. Thank you for shouting out the director.
"So no problemo. Just play your demo and after the end it's breakout time. Please oh please don't press rewind because I will lay it down the line." Classic hip-hop.
This song will always resonate with me. When it first came out, we played this over and over. Cut to me and some friends speeding down this narrow street got into a major car accident flipping the car over, ended up upside down; radio still blasting this song.
Years ago, I made a ringtone from this song, so every time somebody calls, I hear De La Soul singing "Hey, how you doin'? Sorry you can't get through. Why don't leave your name and number, and I'll get back to you..."
I was a white kid who grew up listening to rock-VH, Bon Jovi, Crue. My older bro had 3 ft High in like 88-89 and I listened to it all summer of 89. I fell in love with hip hop and rnb. By 91-when this came out, hip hop was soundtrack to my life and Dela was one my fav groups. This is from 2nd album-just as good as 3ft high. This was lead single. Funny but sad story is when this came out, I was about 13. We used to hang out with these hot older chicks who were like 16. I knew they liked me but I’m sure they we reluctant to hook up with a 13 year old (I was very good looking growing up from what people would say) plus they had older bfs. Anyway, I’m out front of her apartment with one the older girls and her older cousin where she lived with her mom. Her older cousin heard me singing this song to myself and he’s like “how do you know that song?”. I’m like, I love Dela. And we had a good laugh. Anyway, that girl has been gone now for several years-I believe she had addiction issues. Crazy how music can bring you immediately back to a time many years ago. RIP PLUG 3 and Nicole L
God I was so eager for the first new tune to come out after 3 ft high. Got it the day it came out and I knew immediately the new album would not dissapoint. The videoclip also looks way better than the usual clips from that time. Also god I love the vinyl crackle of the samples. De La Soul you have a special place in my heart forever ❤
When this song came out it was like a whole new De la soul from the first album. I loved the De La Soul is Dead album. This song and that album made me a de La Soul fan
Dayem feels like yesterday, but also so tame compared to current rhymes and beats... I still feel so much love, and that era totally paved the way for current and emerging artists
I was already a big De La Soul fan in high school, but man was i stoked when this song was featured on the SPIN Magazine sampler cassette in fall '91. Totally showing my age here .. 😅😅
This song is a sample of a song that was a number 1 hit in Europe back in 1989 called Name and Number by the British band called Curiosity Killed the Cat 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/iS4gWWCT0Bg/v-deo.htmlsi=t9rs0nl3xpM-KdJE

Same. Don’t know why, but yeah. At least in my case I’m guessing mtv had it in heavier rotation in reality than how I remember it now, so it just stuck in my head. Super catchy.
Heyy yoo yoo I put this on my answering machine back in the day, everyone loved hearing it and was like.....wwhhhaaaattttt !! 😎💯❤💥👀🕺🌹🌹🌹🌹🥨🫖🔥✨🎃🎯🪅🎭💎🎩 NOT garbage !! LOL!
i love american rap from those years 80,90,s and when it' s beghinnin in france i fallin love of many groups!!!rap is not dead !!!more old was borned more people have knew his importance in our society!!!thanks
God, I loved this in my youth and still do now. I think its being used as part of Sky Sports promotion for the NFL. Can't get this song outta my head, I don't want to either.

Is that really from 1991? 32 years ago? Still as fresh as it was back in the days !!!
This song from 1989.....
was still livin in my OLD HOUSE 🏚 in Philadelphia, when this jawn came on Tv 📺 that's how I know. LoL
dad had me hear this when i was like 5. here i am 25 years old back at it. soooo so good!
Hell yeah it is. I remember when they dropped this. Shit was and still is 🔥🔥💯
@@invisiblerevolutionUmmm nah my guy this shit dropped in 91, better do some research. That's all I'm saying 😂
@quietstorm2460
I tell you what.....
maybe I didn't first hear it in 1989, *BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT* I first saw the video in 1990!
Miss the great old MTV days.
And the bass line is wicked.
Whenever this song played on MTV the whole bloody house used to bounce. Love this song with all my heart.
No cussing, just beats and spitting ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hi😊.
❤
Still one of the best hip hop tracks of all time.
I think this was the first hip hop track I ever heard. And it's still one of the best.
imagine if music was all down hill for you after this one. Gratefully, De La & others just kept expanding and getting better. What a solid entry
How old were you at the time?
@@muxnod9857 I would have been around 10 or 11.
@@DodderingOldMan Cool. I was 10 years old in 1979 when Rappers Delight came out.
This is one of the best tracks ever recorded. Not just in the hip hop genre, either.
1991 was one of the best years in hip hop. So many classics came out that year.
SO TRUE! I was 20 in the navy and we used to crank this at sea! ♥️
I was 11 years old in '91. Myself & two mates performed this tune in drama class at school.
The. Coolest. I've. Ever. Been! 😂
One of the best and catchiest songs of all times nyc was popping
Love this song so much. Wish people still made music like this. ❤️
yeeeeeeeees
Now we have Stormzy and other talentless frauds. 🤮
I miss the 90s
I saw a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and Souls of Mischief perform at a small venue in L.A. back in 1993 with a fake I.D. Those were the days! 😢
I would kill for that experience god dayum

amazing!
@@melmc6811 Oh God! I'm up the road in Deal. If I'd seen that I'd have come along! xxx
Another all-time classic from one of my favorite albums. #RIPTrugoytheDove 🕊️🌹🙏🏼
Bro, I just read this. I didn't know he had passed away. I'm fucking floored.
Whaaaat? >:/
🙏🏽
Proof that there’s other things to rap about other than Drugs, Sex, Violence.
Salute 🫡 De La
Rest in Power Trugoy the 🕊️
And this comment is proof that you have a very narrow, limited idea of hip hop
@@spek-27 that proove that you don't know most of clip of rap are full of drugs and half naked girls so yes he is right ;)
@spek2747
I think you're gettin wrongly offended... and didn't read his message correctly.
@@spek-27There are very few rappers now that talk about anything other than drugs, money, pussy or violence.
@@michaelgrimes8326 You don't actually follow rap music then if that's what you think.
This song was on every answering machine at the time. Yes young folk an answering machine, a separate piece of equipment connected to your phone with a mini cassette tape in it !
One of the few hip hop videos directed by the great Mark Romanek.
Oh shit!

aa
back when music was made with true soul
Early 90s MTV Europe played this song constantly. 👍
so glad these songs are being digitised and posted now, perfect easy listening.
Better than 99% of todays hiphop 👍🏼
such a classic, but on MTV they played the Party Mix with the Sax on it, good times, RIP David !!
I just fell in love with this song today haha
Ce pozdě, ale přece 👌
I don’t understand 80% of De La Soul sentences in their songs but I love their music 😂
Dave may you Rip brother. You hit this one man . Left us to soon. .😢😢😢
so true.
My Best De La Soul number ever❤
This used to be my voice mail message back in the day
Brilliant classic early 90s hip hop chill out grooves by the legendary Del La Soul Ring Ring Ring
Im in tears of joy. Can't believe my eyes and ears. 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
91 was the best year of music ever!
love yall thanks for the real music and great times in history
"So no problemo. Just play your demo and after the end it's breakout time. Please oh please don't press rewind because I will lay it down the line." Classic hip-hop.
My favorite part 😂

La quintessence du hip-hop résumée en une chanson.
I wish Trugoy was still here to see De La Soul’s music finally free ❤
🕊🕊🕊💜💜💜
Just happy i grew up in this era❤
This song will always resonate with me. When it first came out, we played this over and over. Cut to me and some friends speeding down this narrow street got into a major car accident flipping the car over, ended up upside down; radio still blasting this song.
Bass Lines here are crazy, forever delasoul.
Years ago, I made a ringtone from this song, so every time somebody calls, I hear De La Soul singing "Hey, how you doin'? Sorry you can't get through. Why don't leave your name and number, and I'll get back to you..."
I used it as a voice-mail greeting when I had the pager..
Everybody done did that 😂
Iconic
De la soul. Under rated. Much love!!
Definitely has to be One of De La Soul best singles ..top ten rap groups all time🤔R.i.p Trugoy🙏💒💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🕊

been bringing out my De la soul recently. First class! The Golden age...
I got a funky new tune with a fly banjo🌼🌼🌼

Wow, das ist verdammt lange her. Ich war damals 18 Jahre alt ,als wir in Berlin zu De La Soul abtanzten ✌😎
I play this to start the day. Love this song.
One of the best alternative hip hop song ever
i love this song listening form New Zealand. so awesome this speaks to our 1950s govt! not for long though!

Souvenirs inoubliables 👑🎼🎵🎶
Timeless MasterPiece
Real musicians! Every album they made was completely different than the previous
My favourite sample of 'Help Is On The Way' by The Whatnauts, an exceptional bass line.

this song was way before its time....still bumping it today!!!!
De LA Soul's sophomore album De LA Soul is Dead is a timeless classic hip-hop album
they're sophomore "Dead" album was just as Refreshing as their debut
Geniuses always reinvent and these 3 are still thriving; even in Dave's death- Rest in Power, TrugoY
💯
Been listening to this since it just came out and just notice each of them does the chorus individually before their verse #levels
They do something similar on that song they did with Common
Good stuff coming from a classically trained brass composer & player of Jazz & Classical music. DLS ... The Stakes Are High 🎉
The last time I heard this song was probably 30 years ago and I still remember most of the lyrics.
Same. Don’t know why, but yeah. At least in my case I’m guessing mtv had it in heavier rotation in reality than how I remember it now, so it just stuck in my head. Super catchy.
Year after year I keep coming back, De La Soul forever
This debut when I was about to graduate high school 🔥🔥🔥🔥
what an incredible track!!!
Still mazes me how De La can take anything frm anything and make it their own.
This is definitely my favorite song by de la soul

Loved this song still do. Love the video as much now as way back when. This is such freakin awesome rap!
Sounds just as fresh as the day it came out, RIP dave
When this song came out...Everybody was using it on their answering machine...🤣
Stellar
Im so grateful that I saw De La Soul at The Bottle Rock in 2014 and Phife Dawg was backstage.
I had the hook on my answer machine back in the day
FINALLY! Thanks for this recent upload of a classic! 🙏
My favorite De La Soul track. RIP Trugoy
How I missed this sound
Rockin' it...👌🏾
The great memories of this time. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🎛🎤☀️💫💜🤎🕊
Top5 greatest, most important hip-hop track forever for me.
Normally it wouldn't be my favourite style of music but this is kinda... BRILLIANT!!! Good music is good music, I suppose! 😃😃😃
Damn they just keep coming
Beats Gangster Rap any day baby
This is one of the greatest things of Old skool hip hop. Please replace all mumble rappers with Old skool like this .
Dela flor life 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
2:26 Maseo needs to rap more often - he has an awesome sounding rap voice 👌💯
Punaise j'avais 18 ans ! Le kiff à cette époque. J'adorais ce titre 😊
Classic! 🔥🔥🔥
We ALL had this song on our “tape recorder” answering machines in the early 90’s!!😂
Beautiful years ❤❤❤
Asi mám hudební vkus, protože když sem to slyšel poprvé na začátku 90let,tak sem věděl, že to je TOP😅
