“Write your heart, write your life. If you’re not crying when the song’s done you ain’t wrote the right record.”
Face is dropping so much knowledge here if you are serious about making music or anything at all you should watch this.

De La Soul - “Millie Pulled A Pistol On Santa” (Tommy Boy, 1991)
I mean how the fuck is this boring? And listen to the words before you answer that question, this is one of those rap songs where the words matter.
tallcan asked: you ask me De La is boring... always has been. I'll listen to tribe called quest instead thank you very much.
You’re either listening to the wrong De La Soul records or you’re not listening carefully enough.
Lil B - “Walking Home (Based Freestyle)” (Myspace, 2009)
Wow very #rare based freestyle that was hiding in my drafts.
Slum Village f/ De La Soul - “Turnin Me On” (Synchronization, 2012)
Certain corners of the internet are very excited about that new De La Soul song that is floating around but you already know I can’t hang with that grumpy man real hip hop purity Stakes Is High shit. It did however remind me of this recentish slut shaming ”King Heroin” flipper they did with the one living guy left in Slum Village, which is actually fun and rife with legitimate bug-out bars like when in Rome do what Roman Polanski would do and the Bulhoonesque inversion on the hook: Bonita Applebum / you kinda turn me off. It seems like these dudes find more joy in hating women than they do in hating contemporary rap music and they should probably run with that hatred if it helps them to make okay music again. Hate what your heart wants you to hate, guys.
