[@myronsanders4563]

If you want some misty eyes 1:24:00 ............Man!. Seeing Maseo and Pos break like that is heartbreaking. They all knew each other from Middle School to being in a group for 4 diffrent decades while maintaining a partnership and friendship throughout. Move love to them and much love for Trugoy's family and loved ones. Great episode

Man that was tough...broke down with him....smh🙏🙏🙏

The Stakes Is High album was alchemy. Glad I got to see them at Rock The Bells years ago. Love them.

[@SONNYHOTmusic]

I know we always give the LOX a lot of respect for sticking together for all these years but we gotta give it to De La too.. They have been around since I was in Elementary school.. That’s freaking crazy…

[@SONNYHOTmusic]

Correction: Not around.. They have been together since I was in Elementary

[@booshine187]

[@satisphymysouI]

No words for anything about De La; words are are too limited. The feeling, the vibe,....the vibrations. Geez. Thank y'all. Keep doin' ya thang. Making sure the headstone read "He did it for us." Eyes on De La Sound System and more. GodMCs and DJ.

[@JLopez-ut9zj]

Had the honor of meeting these legends a few years back and they were so humble and cool. It made me love their music even more. So happy to see them finally getting their flowers 🙏

[@actwonder9637]

Thank U Dave!!!! Thank you to De La for being apart of my childhood since 91.

[@mahadtwyemre6663]

R.I.P Trugoy..... much respect and love to his memory and the DE LA family and legacy..

[@r.j.ferguson5580]

The fact Nore went live and didn’t remember is EPIC 😂 Shout out to De La Soul one of the First groups to make me fall in love with Hip Hop as a child RIP Trugoy ☮️

[@onselfdestruct]

This is what young rappers need to see and take notes on. Responsible, determined men with integrity who are not afraid to talk about their real feelings with others. Honest, vulnerable and real. I’ve always loved de la from the jump. Thanks for making this

[@Vandalio_Saez]

One of the best live shows I've ever seen R.I.P Trugoy 🔥

[@thewatcher2352]

Nore looks happier than ever!!! Amazing show!!! RIP Dave he hung on till he knew his brothers were gonna be good. Blessings.

[@drexsonaljames8345]

I love those legendary brothers for life...one of the most genuine groups in the game hands down

The kulture will ALWAYS ride with you...De La Soul forever...Thank you, Dave!!! 🔌🔌🔌❤

This was a beautiful episode beginning to end. When Maseo was crying man I teared up 😢 RIP Dave

[@Rab_Cee]

This what we want from drink champs "HIPHOP"!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ProceedWithCaution0916]

I was in like 7th grade when Grand Master flash and furious five hit in '77. I'd listened to R&B and funk all my life and was deeply entrenched but HIP HOP HIT HARD! I am a fan of all 3 genres. The old head funk masters like George Clinton and the R&B kings like the isley brothers are necessary to bring the culture's history. Just think - No George Clinton, No 'Me, Myself and I" 👀 SALUD!

[@tystout79]

This is the most emotional Drink Champs ever. Nore is damn near in tears.

[@cjprof1205]

Say worrrrrrrd!!! The greatest HipHop group of all time! Love to see these men win. RIP Dave. 🙏🏼

[@MrJohnQuality]

Rest in power Trugoy aka Dave ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Legends!!..that pain from losing there brother is real

[@DutchWeazel]

Childhood Hip Hop heroes Big up to these two legends, and R.I.P to Dave.

[@ebinflo102]

I’ll never forget waiting with eager anticipation after they did the Kickstarter for the “Anonymous Nobody” album. Thought it was amazing that they stuck it to their label who’d been screwing them for years, and put out their own project with the help of their loyal fans. The Anonymous Nobody turned out to be one of my favorite albums of all time! From start to finish it’s such an amazing project, and even has a full on rock opera in the middle of it. Stakes is High will always be my fav, but AN is a close second for very different reasons. Love y’all and salute to Nore & EFN for giving them their due.

[@learnmathwithme3864]

all them albums was good. anonymous album really surprised me, its one of the goats

[@hikoza99]

To see Maseo cry like that. To hear him say we was ready ....damn.

De La Soul Forever Hip Hop Royalty 👑👑👑

[@mikedabeast360]

RIP Trugoy the Dove aka Plug 2 🙏🏾

[@EdwardCook-xq7jo]

I feel how these brotha feel losing a brother. It hurts more than anyone who hasn't lost a sibling or relative will never fully understand. When my older brother (Maurice) passed away I lost a major part of me. It was the worst day if my life when i seen my brother's lifeless body laying on the floor. That effected me very much especially as a 9 year old then and ill be 51 in October of this year. To this day the pain is still there that never leaves. My condolences to De La Soul and every relative and in-law for his untimely passing. It a hurt that never goes away. Always continuing and cherishing all of the memories with him keeps him alive and his spirit still journeys with you and is your Guardian Angel. Thank you De La Soul for all of the classic hits over the years and being that down to earth group and family that every fan and everyone who had thee honor to meet you cherish. Love and respect always Kings.

[@MosesMahomes]

These dudes have been making me proud for 30 years. ✊🏿

[@ty-ronrice5110]

And the anonymous nobody is one of my favorite albums, I wish I had got into it a lot sooner, much love to these guys and continued Prayers to Trugoys Family

[@DHester]

Cameraman gets a D for this one. They couldn't get both on camera at the same time.

[@MrJeditwinz]

Pos was like The Invisible Man for most of it.

[@WeJustLivin]

They made that Men in Black soundtrack a classic. Chanel No. Fever

[@artyart31]

De La Soul takes me back to some beautiful memories during my Highschool days.

[@TokyoDriversClub]

When you grew up in hiphop from the 80's until this day this hits deep. Hip hop culture is a part of your soul.

[@JTT311]

The true embodiment of hip hop. De La is the greatest. Elite skills. Totally unique. Role models. Pioneers and advocates. And I think they were the best when Prince Paul brought his humor etc. De La is Dead will always be my favorite thing ever

[@michaelburton7124]

I've been a fan since Potholes In My Lawn. Changed everything for me. Big Respects to the gods of Daisy age.

[@juliahockley5010]

@wearedelasoul thank you for the years and years of love! Sending it right back to you! ❤

[@blazinasian215]

Maseo needs his own podcast he is hilarious. Shout Out Pos RIP Dave

[@R0jira]

He had a late night online show for a good minute. But he didn't keep it going.

[@OFFICIALR-SONtheVoiceofReason]

De La Forever!! The greatest group in Hip Hop history!!

[@jonesgeorgita]

Now this is an honor. I love and respect De La Soul to my core. They have always appeared to have a blessed spirit. One of peace and unity. They have been an example of class and excellence. For black women they are the best big brothers ever. It's not just about listening to their music. I feel the love, respect and value they have towards us as a people. Growing up my parents would only allow me to listen to them or DMC ,Kid n Play and other clean rappers. I was grateful because it wasn't just clean. It was a movement, a reminder of our worth to the world and ourselves. May God continue to shower then with blessings,love,and peace.

"A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturday"" is basically a life changer for some of us

Bruh...I love the Break of Dawn video! It hit the vibe of the song. Kept me relaxed back in them crazy 90's.

[@crystalarmstrong853]

Wow 👌, I am so proud of drink champs for this one. They are legendary for reals.. The world and America loves you ❤️

[@scottyboy308]

From Scotland to Drink Champ's, I am so proud of the people who got behind De La Soul to get their own HIP^HOP music back the masters are not to be played with young catz get the masters in your contract even after an amount of time when the record labels have made money from artists that I get they have to run a business but it's legends that we are talking about right now they probably where the reason I got into HIP^HOP music first I thought it was Doggy style album and The Regulator by Warren G but I remember now that De La Soul was in the UK charts and if I'm not mistaken it was top of the pops in the UK and, 3 is the magic number yes it is its the magic number in this HIP^HOP community, the track with Nas and De La Soul is FIIIYAH Scotty💯 boy from Edinburgh ☘

[@rhedheaddred3825]

Been rockin with De La since 89. Grew with them from cassettes to CD's and now streaming. I jumped on the free down load in 2010 just to catch up and listen to all the music I missed after De La Soul Is Dead and Stakes is High. I was stuck on those albums for a minute. That collection of music is timeless. Glad they finally got their justice...it is FAR overdue. RIP and Thanks Dave❤ PS to the powers that be A Native Tongues Tour💯

Why did they suddenly stop putting the camera on Pos? He’s having full conversations and statements and they show everyone else while he’s speaking.
