A masterpiece of sampling art that combines humor and intelligence.
This innovative track reconstructs fragments of funk and pop, and is a symbol of the creativity of '90s hip-hop. Its light rhythm and witty flow combine to establish De La Soul's unique world.
Fragments of funk and soul are exquisitely combined to create a tempo-rich beat. The distinctive melody, based on Hall & Oates samples, meshes beautifully with the flow. The composition, which makes use of the "space" between sounds, is humorous yet addictive. The combination of witty wordplay and a rich imagination brought a new grammar to hip-hop at the time. A representative track that elevated sampling to the level of art, this historic work marked the beginning of alternative hip-hop in the 1990s.
