De La Soul - Plug Tunin'

[@thenewhighpriestofjupiter6305]

Unable to describe the feeling i had as a 15 year old listening to this cassette at the back of a Chemistry class in Edinburgh in '89. Rest in Power Dave.

[@henrypegues5459]

I promise lol I tell ppl all the time it was a feeling that came over you that’s hard to explain the first time you heard tracks like this for the first time

[@TheBlindSwordsman]

Crazy... I was 18... This joint is poetry in motion, CLASSIC!

[@mst3kpimp]

it was our sgt.peppers

[@rvnsglcr7861]

I was 15 years old as well. This album changed my life. I felt seen. Since those days, I sought to fill my life with art and culture. While I've experienced a lot, I will never forget where it all started. I'll never forget the freedom and the world-building on this album that made me understand who I was and what was possible. Rest in Power, Dove.

This is top three best rap tracks ever made. On GAWD

One of their best tracks. RIP Plug 2

[@overstandinggod3410]

I haven't heard this mixed version since '88 when Red Alert played it. Thank you for posting this version. To those that know, this is not the same version on the album.

[@TreyIM22]

While I liked your post, I had the original tape, and both were on it. What's wild is the original I remember hearing on WBLS, I THINK, well before the album came out and was blown away. I was just a kid. I would always hope to hear it again. Probably only heard it about 3-4 times but then flash fwd to when the vid for Potholes debuted on Video Music Box - Again, blown away but DID NOT KNOW it was the same group. When the tape came out, I was like, "OOOOOOOOOHHHH, IT'S THEM!!!" Lmmfao.

[@overstandinggod3410]

@@TreyIM22 You know what I noticed? Albums, Ccassettes, CD's track listings would vary, especially back when.

[@TreyIM22]

@overstandinggod3410 Ironically, I was gunna mention that. Lol. I was just surprised reading your comment.The original was crucial. I don't remember if I mentioned it but I've learned to love the remix faaar more over the decades. I actually kinda don't like listening to the original anymore 🤷🏿‍♂️

Was just playing this 94.7 in nyc and I was bumping it. Stopped at a bus stop at a light and the high school kids thought that I was playing something from Saturn the way they were looking at me. They have no idea about classics like this

[@funkcreep6230]

There are a few different versions of this song, but this one is the BEST!!!

[@MikeyDavis]

I comprehended this the first chance. I didn’t realize just how much I appreciated De La till I heard Dove went to De La Heaven. Not at all an emotional dude, but that one hit hard like Nipsey, something bout when a soul charged positive transitions early.

Back in L.A. on 1580 kday I was like 11 and I’d record shows on tape and I remember this was the first De La song I ever heard but didn’t know it was them until 2 or 3 years later when my friend had 3ft high and rising Tape his older sister gave to him. This song comes on and by that time some how i deciphered POS’s first verse and knew it by heart and that was the beginning of my love affair with De La Soul which has gone on to this day.

[@scarfocamorra2582]

I was just messing around with hip hop until I heard DE LA SOUL and fell head over heels in love with Hip Hop, 50 years in and I've lost that loving feeling

[@johnnydeck3497]

what was Hip Hop 50 yrs ago? 1972? I was born in that year....only "hip hop" type thang I'm aware of was Gil Scott Heron and the Last Poets. Amazing things no doubt but nobody called it "hip hop" then. inverse reverse retro-fit projections. Or perhaps you yourself are 50 yrs old and have "lost that loving feeling". Clarify

[@tyroneallen6237]

@@johnnydeck3497 yes I am over 50 so yeah I remember rap from it's start or what we now call rap and hip hop culture but they where songs that had rhyming in them long before the art was given the street moniker the sound evolved like everything does and now the culture I grew to love and involve myself in in every aspect has I hope only has temporarily lost its way because it was at one time not only a money making machine but a beautiful communication tool we are all entitled to fall in and out of love when you are not loved back so what you have are sweet memories of that time in your life

The original version. I don't think Tommy Boy Records even thought De La would catch on the way it did when this came out. I first heard this spring of 1988 and bought it strictly because Prince Paul produced it and Paul was one of my production heroes. I didn't know I was witnessing the birth of a phenomenon.
