In this VladTV exclusive, Del The Funky Homosapien talks about being one of the first to utilize the internet. At that time, people were having mixed feelings about buying things off the web. He also revealed that he’s a comic book fan. The Gorillaz and Anime are some of his favorite types of animation.
Watch the full interview above.

I saw him play in the early 2000's in London, Ontario. After a few songs he asks the crowd, "who likes nintendo?" crowd goes wild.. he then asks "who likes sega" crowd boos.. he gets furious says "yall dont like sega?" "Fuck yall then" does a song or two and ends the show early... lol

[@the-engneer]

Hahaha that doesn't surprise me at all! I actually met him in Albuquerque and he was incredibly down to earth. Signed my skateboard even though security wasn't happy about it, and he was like "hold up I was just on my board before the show" Literally one of the best nights of my life

As a fan of THE Gorillaz, I like to make sure when I talk about them, I'm talking about the band and not the animal. Say " I like Gorillaz" out loud. You'll sound more like a zookeeper and less like a fan.

[@shockzula2937]

I honestly don't think it matters bro, and I really don't think Damon would give a shit. It would be confusing to say "I like Gorillas" and not "I like the Gorillaz". The English language is not perfect and it sounds confusing if you don't add "the"

I've seen del 3 times and had the pleasure to opened for him once.. he ALWAYS freestyles the lyrics to "Clint Eastwood".. ALWAYS

[@reaganomicz]

Niceee. I once ran into him at a bar and got his autograph. I never get starstruck with famous people. I gives a f### about famous people, but I ran into Del, OMG I was straight shell shocked or something.

[@liam1616]

My best friend passed away 2010 and the last song he listened to on his iPod was Clint Eastwood. Saw del live a year or two later in Austin tx. Unreal show

[@renhoek7531]

That's why Del's my favorite. He appreciates how animation works and how it transcends as opposed to just colors and lines. Utmost respect to the phunkee one all day. Next level genius

The original rappers on Clint Eastwood were some rappers from the UK called Phi-Life Cypher.

[@SpectreRyder]

It's called "Clint Eastwood" because of the harmonica that plays along with the phrase "Sunshine in a bag" which comes from his movie "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."

[@JesuszillaCorp]

Used to go to the CD store every Tuesday. First time I heard Del was a cassette tape in a dollar store...was very hype when I heard Del on Gorillas since I bought it on cover alone that Tuesday

Yes, or maybe he is ignorant and can't study the basics of whom he is interviewing

[@jasonfoster4644]

@@dimitriosmoure6583 I think it’s better to assume that he obviously knows who they are, but it’s better for the artist being interviewed to answer that question other than everyone just being under the assumption that everyone knows what’s happening. It feels less pretentious.

[@Chuwopington]

His page is mostly based around rap culture so it makes sense he didn't know

[@bern9642]

@@jasonfoster4644 when he knows a topic he talks more than the interviewee himself. And if it's basic knowledge, he shouldn't make it awkward

The original rappers on Clint Eastwood were a British rap group called “Phi Life Cypher”. These guys are insanely dope and lyrical and you guys should check them out. Del’s verse was perfect and articulate for the masses, but Phi Life Cyper version is dope too!!

Keep the del interviews coning

Gotta love interviewers who don't do their research haha

I was already thinking this but when it got to the part where he was talking about MTV... That video premiered on Cartoon Network. It takes 2 minutes to read that on Wikipedia

I remember staying up all night to catch Clint Eastwood on MTV when I was a kid

[@jimmiwhoo]

wow, I remember when I first saw the music video & heard the song over 20 years ago, I was mesmerised & from then on I had to rewatch the video every now & then & get the mp3 & put it in my collection as well as get a few Gorillaz albums & find out who the rapper was....both the video & song are masterpieces....I'm glad I was able to find out the story behind the making of the song/video....Del makes it look so easy, man spit one of the greatest verses ever after creating it in about half an hour

[@papanovembermusic]

The Uk hip hop fraternity was listening to Del, SOM etc and it's nice that Del knew about uks deadline comics etc he's done mad good stuff over the years.
