-FUPPETS- Loves Forgotten Hip Hop

Anytime an "Official History" is fabricated by pendejos there are ommissions. There are many old Hip Hop classics that no one plays anymore. -FUPPETS- wants to share a few. MC Serch gets it started, with the help of Chubb Rock and a very young Nas. Special Ed, at 16 yrs old, could rhyme with the best. De La Soul's Buhloone Mindstate LP should be considered one of the high water marks, but is denied because of the "official" acceptance of the 1st De La LP as the great one. De La Soul always got better and better. These fux just don't know.

DE LA SOUL goes Track by Track on Three Feet High & Rising

The good folks in De La Soul, Trugoy, Posdnuos, and Mace, sat down with Rolling Stone magazine to discuss their debut album, Three Feet High & Rising, breaking it down track by track. Hear the origins and machinations behind the classic tracks such as Buddy, Me, Myself & I, and Ghetto Thang. Click HERE for the entire thing.

-FUPPETS- heartily recommends the entire De La Soul catalogue.

Here is the original press video for the L.P. Three Feet High & Rising.

STAKES IS HIGH

With all due respect to our President-Elect Barack Obama, the issues left behind by the near-retard Preznit Dubya Bush are wide-ranging and critical. Not only are we involved in two over-seas wars, but we are immersed in a deep credit crisis, created by massive de-regulation and greed. There are still rogue states seeking nuclear arms, former allies to get close to again, former enemies who need to be dealt with, etc. The world community, ignored and dismissed by the Bush administration, takes some solace from this election but the problems still exist and the new President will have to be at the forefront of the solutions. In other words, STAKES IS HIGH.

De La Soul Means "From The Soul"

A few weeks ago, VH1 presented another in it's series of shows titled "VH1 Hip Hop Honors." This time, among other groups and rappers like Too $hort, Cypress Hill, and -FUPPETS- favorite Slick Rick Da Ruler, A.K.A. MC Ricky D, one of the greatest, most innovative acts in hip hop was rightfully respected. Of course, this refers to

DE LA SOUL

-FUPPETS- has finally unearthed the video clip. The first part is a look back on De La Soul's career by the fellas themselves, Posdnuos, Mace, and Trugoy the Dove (otherwise known as Dave). Around the 3:50 mark is the greatest part though, as a slew of fucking awesome rappers come onstage to pay tribute to De La Soul, by dropping a mad medley of De La classics.
The list of MC's paying tribute is astounding. Chuck D and Flava Flav from Public Enemy, Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith from EPMD, Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, who made his first appearance on a De La Soul album, and Cee Lo, among others. Of course, manning the steel wheels is DJ Prince Paul.
It is a fucking jam. Stakes is High.
