Bad meaning Terrible horrible.....
on the line you canNOT sit and listen to it at all, period

A lot of folks I know HATE Pawn Star. I personally like it.

My vote is for Turn It Out from the Osmosis Jones soundtrack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0bTXFPtS8

Lot's of power vocally - whoa, if they made music still like this, people would be hyped up.

edit: the bassline is insane - I haven't heard a bassline that impressive in a while.

The song got me moving like the old dayz.

but the vocal delivery is kinetic.

Even with them being my favorite group of all time, any genre... I have to agree with this 100%. I was put off by this song and have never given it a second listen.

that was an aberration on an otherwise good album

i try and pretend that it doesn't even exist

Had some three stars from AOI I wanted to mention too but, this is the banger.

The Art of Getting Jumped is runner up, don't like that song at all.

...of the "Bonix" album, it's like the label thought it was too hard to clean that song up so they just left it off the clean version completely, and I wouldn't have known it was on there if I didn't cop the dirty version on vinyl.

y'all lost y'all damn minds. that's my fave song on that album.

I hate that song...

I still fucking hate that "song."

The rest of the album is pure class though.

yuck.

Pawn Star

heh heh heh

Get your damn feet off of me!

"Pawn Star" is fucking awful though.

Try sitting through it nowadays while picturing this: http://deco-01.slide.com/r/1/222/dl/3cGbRTVo7j_NEQ2qlpDjSwVuq56HXs0a/watermark

going back & forth in this fashion.

This thread was one of their finer shared moments ever on OKP: http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=17&topic_id=100724&mesg_id=100724&listing_type=search

.

I knew it was going to be a mistake, but not THAT much of a mistake.

Oh, and I like the "Hey Love" skit.

for a variety of reasons both melodic & nostalgic.

Song reminds me of the hottest girl in my high school when I was a freshmen.

She was a junior.

I was bumping De La Is Dead out of a locker boombox (I had the little setup rigged on the top shelf) one day between classes.

She happened to be walking by and heard 'Hey Love' so she stopped to show off the little dance she'd created for it (basically just some cheerleader style arm bar stuff & a couple steps).

As soon as it ended, rewound it & played it again this time with the whole hall watching, me injecting my best Pos mumble/Rick-accent 'anwitchawrinklepussy/Cant Be Your Lover' bit.

Bonded over shared love of De La Soul at that moment & would play it on demand if she was passing my locker at the right time.

For a good stretch I had the rest of the freshmen dudes envious because I was the only one that girl give the time of day too.

I owed it all to the Plugs. Small thing I know but something that still puts a smile on my face twenty years later when I hear that high-note on the piano comes on & the drums kick in on that one.

to me and a couple of my boys, and we used to flaunt that shit all the time. she still on the modeling circuit but mostly retired to a life of surfing and dating life coaches aka personal trainers in Florida.

and didn't they do one with Sean Paul? That one too.

And "Shoomp," the one with Sean Paul, at least had the sick Dilla beat, with the "Genius of Love" flip.

dunno if that helps...lol.

at any rate, that Shoomp flip was sick. don't know if i *really* cared for the song that much, but i appreciated what he did with Genius of Love.

Yo, the choir at the end?

Come on.

>and didn't they do one with Sean Paul? That one too.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

It's so obviously ridiculous. And I love Pos' verse.

maybe its because i don't really feel sean paul much...but that track always gets skipped...

buhloone mindstate

Now get the fuck outta here.

but i guess technically that's a Common song.

Love that track.

I always liked the beat...and I always like De La and Common's verses...maybe its the hook? there's just something missing on that track but i cant put my finger on it...it comes off stale when it should be hype

not on tubeyou

The single only one I can think of.

And I just listened to their entire discography front to back last month over the course of 2 weeks. So it's fresh in my mind.

And that is the only, one, singular track I can't listen to ... and the only one I skipped after about...25 seconds throughout the whole discog.

So yea. That's the one.

Otherwise, none.

I usually skip that song as well, it was one of the reasons why I didn't cop the "Grind Date"/"Shopping Bags" 12inch.

Came in here to say this ^^^

Love De La & Madlib, but that sh*t was horrible! worst track (and video) I ever heard.

considering the matchup of producer/rappers.

And it's like, I understand the need to attempt a radio single. I get it. But that shit wasn't even radio friendly. It wasn't friendly at all, to anyone.

Ooh is a good example of a radio friendly single that works for everyone.

A hot chick friend of mine said whenever she hears that song it makes her "want to fuck." I can't front on that power.

Can't knock you for that, dood.

Though I still don't really understand how a track like this (even if I liked it) would make anyone horny. It ain't like the beat got that r&b groove to it or nothin'.

But again, to each their own and if you got it wet after she heard this track, can't blame you for lovin it haha.

shit is ILL as fuck.

as much as I normally do with the two of them cause I can't get past the miserable beat and awful hook.

I just can't.

I always skip that joint on Stakes Is High

Aye, it's dope after the singing.

Yeah, that has to be the worst hook ever...just terrible.

I understand exactly what they were doing with that, and it makes me crack up whenever I hear it.

Wasn't this directed at Biggie?

...that were straight jacking "known" hip-hop tracks and rapping/singing over them. Probably more against Puffy than anyone.

am I wrong in thinking this?

>...that were straight jacking "known" hip-hop tracks and

>anyone.

I don't agree or disagree, I just never thought so personally, I'm interested to see how you came to that conclusion...

It was a long time ago, but I seem to recall reading an interview where Biggie expressed disappointment about being called out, because he was a fan of them (groups like them?), and he always played their shit, even though some of his peeps weren't down with their music.

During the skit, part of the Mad Rapper's rant includes the quote "This is my 4th album yo..."

Stakes is High (De La's 4th album) had dropped a year earlier, and contains the quote that offended Biggie.

I might have been reaching, but that was my reasoning.


>I don't agree or disagree, I just never thought so
>personally, I'm interested to see how you came to that
>conclusion...

Yea I think it might be a reach but whatever, not outside the realm of possibility I suppose.

the inspiration for "The Madd Rapper." He said that he looks at it like an honor that their video inspired such a great skit.

gimme an example.

and u have a pretty good chance of listening to something boring. When this dropped, people would say, "hip-hop for grown folks" and a plethora of other pleas to mask the blandness of this record. See: Simply....yawn

That's not boring at all to me.

Neither are the title track, "Simply Havin'," "Baby Phat," "What We Do For Love," "Peer Pressure," and "Trying People." And as bad as "Pawn Star" is, it isn't boring.

if u have a soft spot for shopping bags and think simply havin's isnt boring, then this wasn't going to be in line with ur p.o.v.

is some of my favorite of their post-1995 work.

And Tryin' People...damn.

Love that album.

from Mosaic Thump.

Ugh...

Tour thinking to myself 'this song kinda sucks'.

.

Saw it at Spitkicker as well, and loved it there then loved it on the album.

might have even closed with that song on the Spitkicker at the Electric Factory.

How you gonna close with that song & not play 'Buddy'?

FOH.

they closed with BDS at the Spitkicker show in Worcester, MA too...I agree that it's a weak choice to close a De La show but at the same time, it was a 2000 show where they were plugging that album specifically so I guess it makes a little sense.

It's not terrible or unlistenable, but I don't like it.
