@DJRTistic Another fun fact about Summertime nobody really talks about: that's one of the ladies from Zhane singing on the hook (I forget which one).

After "Beats, Rhymes, And Life" dropped in '97, A Tribe Called Quest released a Europe-exclusive EP called "The Jam."

It featured two album cuts, a loosie from the Men In Black soundtrack and "Mardi Gras At Midnight," this J Dilla & The Ummah-produced track featuring Rah Digga.

30+ YEARS LATER AND “HEADBANGER” STILL HITS, LEGENDARY POSSE CUT!!

Rest in peace, James Gadson…

One of the most in-demand session drummers in soul, funk, and R&B, he recorded with an incredible range of artists across decades.

His groove helped shape the sound of legends like Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, The Jackson 5, The Temptations, Paul McCartney, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, and so many more.

@DJRTistic Virgil. We were packing out both rooms with a line around the corner most nights. By that final week, they just had me in the small room and it was pretty much dive bar status. Nobody really dancing. Crazy times.

@Nore_MCC De La Soul Is Dead. But anybody who feels differently has a credible case. Really can't go wrong here.

Wait… THAT’S how @TeddyRiley1 made the “No Diggity” beat?! 🤯

Dropped the sample into the MPC and made history.

In 40 years, it had never rained during the Super Bowl. On the day of 41st the heavens opened up and poured down hard.

Because everything on the stage were live instruments and the stage floor was slick with water for he and his dancers, they asked Prince what did he want to do about the performance.

Prince replied, “can you make it rain harder?”

Long live Prince. The greatest halftime performance in Super Bowl history.

De La Soul's first album in 9 years is absolutely beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better album. RIP Dave 🕊️

How is everyone feeling about it based on the first listen? Any favorite tracks?
