#DeLaDay is going to continue all weekend for me, but I do want to note today that I remember the first De La song I heard was "Potholes in My Lawn" when the video premiered on "Yo!" back the day. I remember thinking, "What the hell is this? Potholes in my lawn? ... I freaking love this."

Thank you, De La, and RIP Trugoy.

Breaking Lenten discipline to note that today #DeLaSoul is finally streaming. I’ve had them ripped from the originals, but I’m super excited that everyone will be able to hear them now. #DeLaDay #HipHop #music https://variety.com/2023/music/news/de-la-soul-guide-early-albums-streaming-services-1235541586/
De La Soul: A Guide to Early Albums, Finally on Streaming Services

It’s impossible to overstate the impact of De La Soul on hip-hop music and its culture — but for decades, their groundbreaking early albums were not widely available, due to a morass of legal compl…

Lots of running around for errands today meant plenty of time to listen to De La Soul on all the streaming platforms. Happy #DeLaDay #HipHop #DeLaSoul
The absence of #DeLaSoul “from streaming sites has effectively erased their presence from the contemporary musical landscape and threatens to minimize their historical import. It's not just the artist who loses out; we, as listeners, are left poorer too” https://www.npr.org/2023/03/03/1160667344/de-la-soul-streaming-guide #deladay #delasoulday #hiphop #music

To celebrate #DeLaDay in style I attempted a one-handed mix between the single and album version of Buddy (as it was just me, myself and I and my phone to record).

Halfway into the track I got a WhatsApp call from my mum, cutting out the video recording (plus I had to stop the audio soon after too).

Still turned out ok-ish, considering my rusty #DJing skills and dodgy skipping stylus, so I'm sharing it anyway...

Happy #DeLaSoulDay! 🔊 ☮️ 🌻

In honor of #DeLaDay one more time for this “my back pages” piece on my two favorite De La Soul albums, which I republished when Dave died. http://singallkinds.com/2023/02/13/de-…

This #BlackFriday is also #DeLaDay, the day when De La Soul's music finally reaches streaming platforms after years of disputes. As such, I'm posting the kind of video that definitely gives me #BlackJoy - a young brother reacting to hearing the classic "Breakadawn" for the very first time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsXz9gh9Ccg

Make sure to buy and stream De La's music!

“3 Feet High and Rising” and other #DeLaSoul awesomeness is indeed now available to stream. The vinyl is so very expensive so I’m grateful. ❤️
