I'm not well versed with their older material other than the hits. That said i think their Nike mixtape Are You In is slept on, i listen to that joint on runs all the time and it has some heaters.

but after seeing your list and others, man I might have to rethink this one out, ha!
I forgot Trying People, Dinninit, What Yo Life Could Truly Be, Forever...I might have to resort to re-upping this post depending on my favorite De La song of the moment!

I love that song. So yea, there's love for it. And I honestly almost put it on my Prince Paul years list above but I couldn't cut out Eye Know. If anything it could replace Say No Go.

im going to eventually attempt to actually rank all of their songs. ive never even bothered with a best of de la soul playlist cuz pretty much all their songs are worth putting on there.

i think im going to avoid it for a while though because im leaning towards not making the trip to see de la at the end of the month and listening to them might bum me out right now lol

79. "Here is my best of De La Soul List" In response to Reply # 0
I would probably need to re-listen to all of their songs to be able to say the list is complete but these are the songs I have added to my favorite songs list. I would say the rating is +/- 0.25. The songs are grouped by 5/5 rating, no specific order between group ratings. I don't know why but I don't like Stakes is High as much as everyone else seems to. I probably also really like a lot of songs that most De La fans don't like.
I did not include anything that was one someone else's album and I could definitely be missing some deep b-sides. I did also include songs from First Serve. Remixes are kind of inconsistent. For the most part I tried to only leave one version of a song but couldn't for Buddy or Plug Tunin. I may try to rank the songs from 1 - 78 some day but I don't know.
These are basically all the songs I rated a 5/5 on my music player which only allows whole number ratings. There may be some songs I have rated as 4 that I like as much as the ones listed as 4.25 in here.
5 = personal favorite song. 4.5 = Great song but not quite a favorite. 4.75 is borderline.
41 songs 5 - Eye Know 5 - Say No Go 5 - The Magic Number 5 - Tread Water 5 - Potholes in My Lawn 5 - Buddy (Native Tongue Decision) 5 - Jenifa Taught Me 5 - Me, Myself and I 5 - A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturday 5 - Fanatic of the B Word 5 - Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa 5 - My Brother's a Basehead 5 - Oodles of O's 5 - Pass the Plugs 5 - Ring Ring Ring 5 - Keepin' the Faith 5 - 3 Days Later 5 - Breakadawn 5 - I Am I Be 5 - Ego Trippin' (Part Two) 5 - In the Woods 5 - Patti Dooke 5 - Brakes 5 - Pony Ride 5 - Sunshine 5 - With Me 5 - Oooh! 5 - All Good 5 - Thru Ya City 5 - Held Down 5 - Trying People 5 - Rock Co.kane Flow 5 - The Future 5 - The Grind Date 5 - Pop Life 5 - Memory of… (US) 5 - Snoopies 5 - Exodus 5 - Here in After 5 - Lord Intended 5 - Pain
18 songs 4.75 - Buddy 4.75 - Plug Tunin 4.75 - Plug Tunin (Last Chance to Comprehend) 4.75 - Change in Speak 4.75 - Talkin' Bout Hey Love 4.75 - Area 4.75 - En Focus 4.75 - Stone Age 4.75 - Itsoweezee 4.75 - Stakes is High 4.75 - Bionix 4.75 - No 4.75 - Church 4.75 - We Made It 4.75 - Must be the Music 4.75 - Drawn 4.75 - Whoodeeni 4.75 - Greyhounds
13 songs 4.5 - I Be Blowin 4.5 - Eye Patch 4.5 - Supa Emcees 4.5 - My Writes 4.5 - Set The Mood 4.5 - Baby Phat 4.5 - Watch Out 4.5 - Verbal Clap 4.5 - He Comes 4.5 - Freedom Train 4.5 - The Book of Life 4.5 - Royalty Capes 4.5 - God It
6 songs 4.25 - Stix and Stonz 4.25 - Peer Pressure 4.25 - What We Do 4.25 - Much More 4.25 - Small Disasters 4.25 - CBGBS

De La is one of those groups that put quality into just about everything they do...
it would be easier to say name their 3 worst songs....

They were the first to teach all hip hop fans that the sound can be as expressive as what you feel like /should be listening to. I can never thank these guys enough for standing up to the B-Boy bullies in the classroom. That said, why is "Me, Myself and I" getting no love?
