I'm feeling it. This is dope party jam.

It's 1996 again?

I hope there's more to this project than "haha, look at us, we're popular rappers"

Not feeling this at all.

i love these cats but being the "what they do" true school police on kanye and rawse seems like a tired look in 2012.

it didn't work for common and I don't think it will work for them either unless the music you make is better and right now this isn't.

respect,

this is truly awful. i didn't think they were capable of such dreadfulness. who is their target audience with this side project?

Instead of treating this like a whole new record, it should've been a surprise treat.

I don't think too many people are gonna buy the whole LP, unless it's a whole story record that's going somewhere. (I THINK it's a story album (w/the characters getting jerked and ending up broke)...but so far it hasn't been presented like that)

They should've dropped the whole project for free first & the vid at the same time. Made a limited vinyl/itunes release (so they will get some profit) w/snippets of the actual De La Soul album...then made a limited edition of the new record w/First Serve as a bonus.

Maybe I got it all wrong, but when you got people feenin for new material and you drop a parody record out of nowhere people are gonna give the gas face to it.

yes, it's a story record. two rappers trying to make it.
it's two french producers that got De La to rap on it.
i hear you on the fact that fans are waiting for a new De La record and might expect something different tho.

De La Soul's Plug 1 & Plug 2 Present “First Serve” The Album

In stores April 2nd

First they brought you ‘The Goon Time Mixtape’ blasting from a late-night house party in a Parisian suburb. Then we saw our heroes getting endless grief from Deen’s overbearing mother in the Mrs. Whitter skit. That was all just a taste of things to come from De La Soul’s Plug 1 & Plug 2 present ‘First Serve’; a dynamic hip-hop group, an album, a concept, the soundtrack to a movie that has yet to be made and a fable for our times.

‘First Serve’ is many things, but at its heart it is the story of two young boys from Queens, New York with big dreams and larger rhymes. Two friends, Deen Whitter (aka Plug 2 / Dave) and Jacob ‘Pop Life’ Barrow (aka Plug 1/ Pos), friends from seventh grade, are by their own admission, “different, but the differences seem to complement everything we do.” Their name ‘First Serve’ comes from their motto, “First come, First Serve, get what you deserve.”

After years of laying down demos and mixtapes on the hustle in the hip-hop game, we get the next installment from their world in the form of the ‘We Made It’ skit. All the hard work has finally paid off – Jacob and Deen have hit the big time signing to Goon Time Records to become the next new thing to hit the airwaves.

Due to hit the streets worldwide on April 2nd, through Duck Down Music in North America & Pias in all other territories, the ‘First Serve’ album tells the story of two dreamers in a basement struggling to start their musical career, the battles they face, through to the point that they eventually release their debut single, ‘make it big’ and their hard work and persistence finally pays off. As we know that is rarely where the story ends and the story of ‘First Serve’ is no different. Taking place in an animated world that could have been imagined by Hawley Pratt on Magic Mushrooms, the high spirited and often hilarious journey is pure old school hip-hop; skits, disco, beats, funk, quips, burns and hustlin’ all included. Ain’t nothing gonna stop us now...
