De La Soul – Eye Know

Eye Know

I never liked Steely Dan so much as I liked them as a sample, & there’s no one better to take a recognizable sound clip & turn it into a damn fine groove than Prince Paul & the boys of De La. I’m not always a big fan of their approach to hip hop, but there are tracks on 3 Feet High & Rising that are untouchable.  There’s something so gentle & refined in the delicacy of this beat, & yet more bumpin’ than a butt on a dance floor through & through. Hello sweet hip hop history, why have we ever glazed over you.
