#trugoythedove #Dave #plug2 My tribute to one of the most amazing rappers, and one of the few whose loss really hit me. I'm so glad #delasoul have finally got their music streaming, because I know a whole new generation is going to fall in love with them through @spotify and other places. I got #delasoulisdead on vinyl back when I was 12 or 13, and I don't know how many hundreds of times I've listened to it. I've even been lucky enough to see them live a couple of times. Dave was part of something truly special; how many people can say they've been part of four all-time classic hip-hop albums? Beyond that, he made the kind of music that your life probably wouldn't be the same if you never heard. I know mine wouldn't.

Name a better 4 album run… I’ll WAIT! Each album shifted the momentum of hip hop culture in its own way. All 4 are certified CLASSICS! 3 Feet High: woke up all the kids like myself that enjoyed blerd culture + were artists deep down and loved that they combined timeless music mixed with comedy and smart lyrics and a unique STYLE! De La is Dead: from jump let us know you’re entering an alternative universe so hang on tight (because we wanna swat the people who only liked “me myself and I” and misunderstood what “Da.I.s.Y Age” really meant off the train! The story book with the artwork and proving you could be different and still make hits. Buhloone: (my fave De La album) put folks on notice that they are the best Emcee’s and they lowkey influenced how me and mine dressed + carried ourselves it had us dive even deeper into our artistic selves. The song ‘I Am I Be’ is FLAWLESS imo and I think De La’s most important (if not best) song. Stakes: This album to me changed my whole thought process (again) + let me know that they can buck the current trends but at the same time better those trends (those J DILLA beats PROVED this!) and it gave more guidance that substance and art are STILL important and you can still follow those yet let the gun toters know that “we will still bust your a**es with these mic’s” without having to be fake “tough guys”. Each album aged profoundly and we watched them grow not only as artists but as men and they as a group raised the best generation. If you doubt me then go look at the kids of true De La Soul fans. They’ll most likely be the most well rounded + kindest kids in the friend group. To me De La has NEVER had a bad album or showed any signs of slipping even in todays musical mindset. They are one of the few timeless artists of my lifetime. They are MY Beatles and ATCQ are My Rolling Stones (or is it vice-versa?) Meaning they’ve never lost their staying power and have continued to have a great impact to millions of music fans. IG limits the text so I can’t go DEEP but @danteross put the idea in my head asking “best 4 album run?” De La Soul hands down!

#sunday If u know me, u know how much I love @wearedelasoul and I am devastated by the passing of @trugoy_da_dove. Y’all don’t even know the impact they had on me. They were the first concert I paid for and attended by myself as a high school student. I had the OG glow in the dark T-shirt that I wore like everyday in college. I’m so heartbroken y’all! 💚💛🖤 Rest in peace and with the daisies! 🌼☮️🕊️ #rip #riptrugoy #trugoythedove #delasoul #restinbeats #Repost @forhiphop ・・・ Trugoy The Dove. Plug Two. Dave.

・ Rest in peace. Dove. 今朝起きて一番最初に見た文字が、彼の訃報だった。 それからずっと頭の中を巡る “3, that's the magic number “. 今年に入り直ぐに全てのプラットフォームにストリーミングされる報せは、彼ら3人の願いが叶った瞬間で、私たちも笑い歌い、大いに祝った。 日本でまた会える事をとても愉しみに思ってたよ。 病は辛い。だけど早いよ。 やすらかに、Dove。 #delasoul #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #trugoythedove #davidjudejolicoeur #delasoul #3feethighandrising #rip #sip #hiphop #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke @cartermagazine “Everybody's sayin'… What to do when suckin' lunatics start diggin' and chewin’, They don't know that the Soul don't go for that Potholes in my lawn… And that goes for my rhyme sheet… Which I concentrated so hard on, see… I don't ask for maximum security… But my dwellin' is swellin' It nipped my bud when I happened to fall Into a spot… Where no ink or an ink-blot Was on a scroll… I just wrote me a new mot… But now it's gone… There's no Suckers knew that I hate To recognize that every time I'm writin' It's gone.” - Trugoy the Dove Rest in Peace | David Jude Jolicoeur CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com https://www.instagram.com/p/Col694IyCz-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[reasoningdaily]

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio.

Crack had a massive impact on the Black community in the 1980s. It would be impossible to do a podcast like “Being Black: The ’80s” and not talk extensively about crack. People smoked it and experienced the most intense high they had ever had, and the chase to feel like that again ruined millions of lives.  

De La Soul is not one of the hip-hop groups that talked a lot about street life. They were proudly suburban at a time when that made them stand out among hip-hop artists. Quick story: I was a suburban kid who loved hip-hop from the first time I heard “Rapper’s Delight,” and I felt deeply connected to hip-hop as I watched the culture grow in the years after that song dropped. Hip-hop was the music I loved most as a kid. It was part of my identity, but then De La came out and I realized that as far as rappers, no one represented me or symbolized me better than De La. If I could rap, they were what I would be. Their suburbanness, their intelligence and their sense of humor all spoke to who I was. They became my favorite group of all time. But I digress. Even though De La was all about everything that rappers weren’t normally about, like so many Black people back in the ’80s, they did have a crack problem in their family. 

Crack was so pervasive in the ’80s that living in suburbia was not enough to insulate you from the crack epidemic. De La’s Posdnous had a brother who was battling a crack addiction, and out of that experience he recorded the best song ever made about being in a family with a crack addict: “My Brother’s A Basehead.” That song is at the center of episode two of “Being Black: The ’80s,” and it leads us into a conversation about the overall impact of crack.

“My Brother’s A Basehead” is one of those songs that spring from the artist’s real life. Posdnous is telling the story of what happened to him and his family because of his brother’s addiction. It wasn’t quite a cry for help because Posdnous himself wasn’t in trouble, but it was perhaps a way of Pos speaking to his brother about hurting the family. Producer Prince Paul, who’s sometimes referred to as a member of De La, comes through in this episode to talk about the making of the song and what really happened to Pos’ brother.

Meanwhile, another major hip-hop group was dealing with having a crack addict in the family in a whole different way. Public Enemy was, in many ways, the exact opposite of De La. Where De La was about having fun and being smart, Public Enemy was overtly political and they were as serious as a heart attack. They positioned themselves as the sons of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers so you knew they were going to decry the crack epidemic as often and as loudly as possible.

Quick aside — one of the hallmarks of “Being Black: The ’80s” is that I generally bring up a second song as a way to help further explain the episode’s central song. In this episode, that second song is Public Enemy’s “Night of the Living Baseheads,” which is Chuck D’s way of sermonizing about the evils of crack and shaming those who used crack. P.E.’s producer Hank Shocklee comes through to explain the origins of the song, which goes back to a movie he saw in his childhood — “Night of the Living Dead.” 

But it was very interesting to hear Public Enemy shame crackheads while there was a crack addict in their musical family. Flavor-Flav battled addiction for years, including while he was in the group. I asked Shocklee if they knew that Flav was doing crack. He said, “Yes and no.”

You’ve gotta hear the whole story of how De La and Public Enemy dealt with crack in their families in very different ways. That, and the impact of crack, is at the heart of episode two of Being Black: the 80s. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

De La Soul - Me Myself and I

Me Myself and I: Testo

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Tell me, mirror, what is wrong?

Can it be my de la clothes

Or is it just my de la song?

What I do ain't make-believe

People say I sit and try

But whan it comes to being de la

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

Now you tease my plug one style

And my plug one spectacles

You say plug one and two are hippies

No, we're not, that's pure plug bull

Always pushing that we've formed an image

There's no need to lie

When it comes to being plug one

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

Proud, I'm proud of what I am

Poems I speak are plug two type

Please oh please let plug two be

Himself, not what you read or write

Right is wrong when hype is written

On the soul, de la that is,

Style is surely our own thing

Not the false disguise of showbiz

De la soul is from the soul

And this fact I can't deny

Strictly from the dan called stuckie

And from me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

Glory, glory hallelu

Glory for plugs one and two

But that glory's been denied

By kizids and dookie eyes

People think they dis my person

By stating I'm darkly pack

I know this so I point at q-tip

And he states, 'black is black'

Mirror mirror on the wall,

Shovel chestnuts in my path

Please keep on up with the nuts

So I don't get in aftermath

But if I do I'll calmly punch them

In the fourth day of July

'Cause they tried to mess with

Third degree, that's me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I

It's just me myself and I
