“Plug 1 Plug 2 …Plug Tunin” acrylic, mixed media on wood panel ‘And now for my next number I'd like to return to the classics Perhaps the most famous classic In all the world of music’ Before “Plug Tunin’” wound up on the demo that landed De La Soul a deal with Tommy Boy Records and eventually served as their breakout single in 1988, the song began as a live act performed over a famous breakbeat. “We would do it off of The Honey Drippers’ ‘Impeach The President,’” Maseo explained in a 2014 interview with Vibe magazine. “Somehow we started to make a conceptual song, but it really didn’t become much of anything until Pos found a sample.” While Posdnuos is the one who found the sample that ended up serving as a backbone for the song’s instrumental, he credits two pioneering rap groups for inspiring the original dynamics of the track. “In the beginning ‘Plug Tunin’’ was really a routine,” he told Vibe. “Being young, we were still taking a lot of lessons from groups like Cold Crush Brothers and Crash Crew.” Cold Crush Brothers and Crash Crew informed the initial live version, but it was a Pos’ copy of The Invitations’ “Written On The Wall” that sparked the version of “Plug Tunin’” people know and love today — as well as the song’s name. “Funny enough, on the b-side of ‘Written On The Wall’, it said Plug Side,” Pos told Vibe. “So that’s the only reason we titled it “Plug Tunin.’” “We thought the intro was hilarious, so we just threw it on at the beginning of the song. Like everything else we did, there wasn’t much rhyme or reason to it.” — Prince Paul Article credit 📰 - Gino Sorcinelli > www.medium.com news #theartofshawnartis #delasoul #plugtunin #art #music #hiphop #80s #contemporaryart #culture #princepaul #houston #houstonartist #ARTisTheImitationOfLife (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnnXHKreMP/?utm_medium=tumblr
