Watch the interview above.

[@deshaundozier]

The fact he loved Jamie’s artwork more than going platinum is dope

[@friscocook9222]

hell yeah real as hell one most underrated rappers

[@Jaketha89]

@@friscocook9222 I was stoked that Eminem named Del as an influence when he got inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame

[@Dutch3k5]

Brother is mad humble. Respect

[@DEVINEJUSTICEALLAH72]

Dutch3k5 FACTS!!

[@i2Shea]

Deltron 3030 is still one of the best hip hop albums ever made.

[@user-tk7rl6hw6c]

i2Shea easily

[@drewcarter6324]

Oh hell yeah! You must learn is my fav track

[@tdizzle7685]

i2Shea the videos for virus and positive contact.....🤗🤗🤗 Battle song is my personal favorite though!

[@deafbyhiphop]

Drew Carter you must learn? I dont rember that song

[@ryancross8136]

Yes it is.

[@queenannsrevenge100]

What’s even more awesome to me is that he seems to feel he was compensated fairly for it too - so many times we get stories of artists being stiffed out of proper recomp or squeezed dry; glad to hear “that paid for my house, man!”

[@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide]

He's right, the art work is the eye catcher.

[@almadixon-cider31]

Everything about the song "Clint Eastwood" is amazing, The Beat, The hook, Del's Verse, The Video (ArtWork)! It's a collaberation of True Artists!

[@DaytonJoey]

Love Del. I found him randomly in 91 or 92 ish and was all in. No need for alarm really changed my life. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@biglbc2519]

ONE OF THE BEST LYRICIST OF ALL TIME

[@DeathTrapProductions]

Del is one of the most underrated ever. Rock the House is more than a filler song! Shit that whole album hypnotized me.

[@MaruTheGreat]

Clint Eastwood is hands down one of my favorite tracks of all time. And that Gorillaz album put me on to a ton of new music.

[@royliber3824]

That song started my Gorillaz fever like 13-14 years ago. Their new songs really kept me in the game, but Del performing nowadays his songs with them? Thats just insane! Im so happy Del enjoyed performing with them.

[@MaruTheGreat]

@@royliber3824 For sure, and he also did the DELTRON 3030 album w/ Dan "The Automator" Nakamura who also worked heavily w/ Gorillaz. Highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven't heard it. Excellent album!

[@joshuacauser]

Damon really is a musical genius and his history of collabs/features is insane

[@MarkWhippy]

Clint Eastwood is an amazing track, I remember as a kid I didn't listen to hip hop, but I knew there was something different about that track. The beat is sick, the rhymes are dope esp for a rap song that was on mainstream radio, it was unusual to hear good rhymes like that on the radio.

[@rameroyale5189]

I been trying to quit vlad, but the Rasa Kass & Del interviews got me back here.

[@kakuzu4565]

Same. He doesn't have dope interviews that much. Lord Jamar is his bread and butter because he keeps it real (90% of the time at least). But yeah we know vlad lies sometimes, instigates situations and things like that.

[@techhead57]

Man me too lol

[@KTHREE31]

Yup, I try to ignore with all these fake (c)rappers. Every now & then, I'll see a REAL LYRICIST like DEL, B.D.K, K.G.R., RAKIM!!!!🐐🌟💎👑

[@MrSpilledge]

Ras kass*****

[@Vextos]

Del is a legend in the game.

[@PaintByAGirl]

Love Del...good to see him on interview. He deserves it. I remember meeting him walking on haight street in San Francisco one day long time ago. Just walking being him going somewhere. Thank you for being so down to earth and still down to earth

[@77Creation]

Del is definitely a top ten lyricist.

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Wow, imagine someone talking to you about your big hit that paid your house and you still take that time to mention how happy you were that another artist got some exposure. This guy has the best attitude I've ever seen in the music business. No wonder he got his, well deserved! Very refreshing perspective and work ethic, now that is real success as a true artist.

[@allstar930]

This dude mad humble. Rock The House was dope af.

[@KD-jb9pq]

'Madness' is my favorite track from him. Del was one of the rappers who got me into hip hop. Underrated legend.

[@KeepItPurp4809]

Jeff Madrigal Time Keeps On Slipping was a track he made with Damon Alborn before Gorillaz formed. Also fire

[@KD-jb9pq]

Patrick Belleville bro you know what i heard that song a bunch of times before. But now that you mention it i just realize it was Damien lol.

[@mikabreto]

Was? [insert gif of Mr Potato Head from Toy Story]

[@iconocolor643]

Del is inner-laughing at Vlad at the end. Genius.

[@bornofkarma1327]

When I was a kid (like 4 years old) I remember my older brother (who was like 11) and mom used to play Mistadobalina and dance to it. That was my intro to Del, been a fan ever since. Still listen to a lot of the Heiro library. Big Up!

[@TheCamojorel]

Rock the house is my fav... Perfect skate park song

[@jdoom8636]

Del is so cool. Saying he cares most about what people get out of his music. Such a good dude!

[@yakkodawakko9387]

Hiero & Del really did put together samples & loops that were so creative at that time. I remember constantly waiting for the next hiero or casual or Del single to drop just to hear it for the 1st time & be like mesmerized. Damn I miss my youth

[@nathanharris7815]

Thats how I was with Hiero. I bought everything. They had the best remixes and b-sides. I drove to a different town outside of B-more where I lived just to get the Third Eye Vision CD.

[@i94yeh2p]

To be honest, I wasn't even really fuckin' with west coast hip hop until I heard Del, Hieroglyphics and The Pharcyde. They opened me up big-time because that coast was mostly gangsta/pimp/gang culture type shit. Before we knew it, the Hiero logo was popping up all over the place.

[@kp4588]

Gate 13 is awesome. Also loved Del and Tame One’s Parallel Universes album.

[@direfox9464]

I remember the first time i heard him was on tony hawk 3 "gota wash your ass brush youre teeth" that song still cracks me up

[@jordanmendes6165]

Yo rock the house was one of my favs off that record.

[@sergeypikalov]

Del is the man. Big ups from Russia.

[@GoldbondPowder]

Upgrade your Grey Matter. One Day, it May Matter.

[@michaels.8244]

GoldbondPowder for a long time I actually thought he was saying brain matter.

[@remainfocused8570]

.....clean line....I feel it. Good 👀

[@bruceleehee9267]

Bam 💥

[@EASFromTheWest]

*cause one day

[@EASFromTheWest]

that song is perfect on dxm on the back patio in the night with the sky over you with some trees in the bowl

[@NovaGreen333]

I watched every one of these in a row immediately upon discovery. It was great. Need more Del in hip hop.

[@livefree1030]

Rock da House was my fav track on that album

[@juliocervantes751]

Man called a banger like “Rock the House” filler 😂 he’s a simple dude and gamer/anime nerd so nothin but respect

[@209Champ]

For real lol That song is dope af and im like No Del it is not filler lol

[@royliber3824]

Well... Del himself performed that filler song in Gorillaz recent live show 😂Glad he still enjoys doing these songs live

[@johnmorrow6082]

Humbling at it's finest!👌🏿

[@aurteekay6339]

He scored skate 3? Bro what? I love that playlist !!

[@friendoftheshow3382]

That sht and windmill was sonically vibe settling 💯🔥

[@justinbrandt8415]

I always found Dels flow on Clint Eastwood raw af. Very unique timing and cadence, love this dude.

[@52goldtop]

6:28 is the “You know what?!” from ‘Pet Peeves’

[@mikedillingham462]

DeL is the man ! Mad humble and one of the illest of all time on the mic. Bless

[@HARRIS2820]

S/o to del. The bay area is one of the greatest places in hiphop. Bay never really got the cred it deserves but fuck it....we got our own thing

[@siab5759]

I'm from LA, but you're right. The Bay never does get it's props it deserves. Really dope funky shit. LA low-key got some of that swag and funk from the Bay

[@HARRIS2820]

CB W thats mostly because Jacka had faith in islam and vlad is jewish....so u know how that works.

[@CityLoch]

Man I'm with you but I can name a gang of bay rappers I wanna see on Vlad before Joe Blow...Nickatina should be on here...at the same time maybe a few cats don't want this particular spotlight...

[@TEZKY95]

Shhhhiiiddddd I grew up in Louisville and the bay has always gotten love out this way! The bay is universal

[@seansmith9671]

[@BrandonMullanandfriends]

Genuine dude with a genuine skill presented in a genuine way.

Fuck people really just don’t listen

[@bigearlz1]

I love the forward thinking. That one's done, let's do the next. He's a master. Great pod.

[@Natepillradio]

Saw him in Concert last year. AMAZING!!!

[@The1stClassVillain]

Rock the house was another good one on the album. It had a good beat.

[@Kspat2]

Del’s corner story is still the all time go to vibe.

[@ShutterSpeedGaming]

He’s so humble !! I didn’t even know him before now and he’s very cool.

[@jmagination228]

This guy is so chill. Id love to have a beer or smoke with him just talk about comics games and anime

[@listentoryan]

Del is too nice. Dude's one of the greats.

[@amexemoor443]

No Need For Alarm is a classic!

[@dublplus3332]

Love this album

[@JungleCrook]

Rock da House is still top 3 Gorillaz songs for me man

Clint Eastwood n feel good inc are classics 💯

[@jasonjones2293]

I'm in LA dude that got much love for the whole damn Bay Area. California love

[@willkoestner4159]

I just came to say I loved his verse on Preservation

[@chanman4rings]

Del really laid down an amazing freestyle in 30 minutes and only did it because he's a comic book nerd and loved the artist's previous work? I love that

[@hucklebk]

Del the most humble man I seen chat in a long ass time.

[@tt-mj1bj]

I'm surprised vlad didn't do a flashback video on fredo santana yet.

[@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide]

OG LOC it's coming, unless he doesn't have footage with him..

[@youtasteofcherryade]

he never interviewed him.

[@TheKillakennyp]

Fuck Fredo. He killed Lil Jojo...#BDKBitch

[@MandatoryMoneyQJB]

Shakir Henderson you're not even from Chicago. Chill out.

[@kurtcostigan95]

The 'bay' was also a breeding ground for early thrash metal. As well as many other artists and sounds through the decades.

[@lo-fireviews2693]

Kurt Costigan Suicidal Tendencies

[@sammyb5102]

Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater, Dead Kennedy’s, Metallica, east bay punk like Operation Ivy, Rancid and Green Day, Funk music like Sly and Con-Funk-Shun, the earliest “explicit” rap (like NWA and Ice-t) always includes Too Short in the description, Mac Dre is still influencing rap to a huge degree today, and underground backpacker crews like Hiero, Hobo Junction and Living Legends....the bay has always put out influential music

[@TallicaMan1986]
