Del on His Feature on Gorillaz 'Clint Eastwood' Paying for His House (Part 7)

[@deshaundozier]

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

[@friscocook9222]

hell yeah real as hell one most underrated rappers

[@DigitalRenegad3]

@@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

[@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!”

[@DaytonJoey]

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

[@DeathTrapProductions]

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

[@MidTierVillain]

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!

[@biglbc2519]

ONE OF THE BEST LYRICIST OF ALL TIME

[@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*****

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

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

[@Vextos]

Del is a legend in the game.

[@Soldat4w]

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

[@77Creation]

Del is definitely a top ten lyricist.

[@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!

[@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]

HARRIS2820 Vlad has interviewed many Islamic people

[@sergeypikalov]

Del is the man. Big ups from Russia.

[@jdoom8636]

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

[@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

[@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

[@kp4588]

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

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

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

[@justinbrandt8415]

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

[@Kspat2]

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

[@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.

[@kurtcostigan95]

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

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
