Lyrics
Greetings girl and welcome to my world of phrase
I'm right up to bat
It's a Daisy Age and you're about to walk top-stage
So wipe your Lottos on the mat
Hip-hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz your
Involvements before the sun
But clear your court cause this is a one-man sport
And who's better for this than Plug One
Now you don't have to worry about me squashin' other deals
Cause they've already been squooshed
Freeze a frame about moods the same which we can continue
Right behind the bush
You'll stay with me
Eye Know this
But not because of all my Earthly treasures
Or regardless to the fact that I'm Posdnuos
But because
Eye know I love you better
May I cut this dance to introduce myself as
The chosen one to speak
Let me lay my hand across yours
And aim a kiss upon your cheek
The name's Plug Two
And from the soul I bring you
The D.A.I.S.Y. of your choice
May it be filled with the pleasure principle
In circumference to my voice
About those other Jennys I reckoned with
Lost them all like a homework excuse
This time the Magic Number is two
Cause it takes two, not three, to seduce
My destiny of love is brought to an apex
Sex is a mere molecule
In this world of love that I have for you
It's true
Eye know I love you better
Now it's time to let this rhyme style
Get somewhat poured in the mold
Hold my hand and we'll pick my plantation
Of daisies for a bouquet of soul
Life will begin at the cut of a rim
Take it as filled to the rim as in brim
Squeeze your stoop like Betty Boop
We'll make Campbell Alphabet Soup
And spell Plug One's within
Forward march is the say
When transistors will play
Come into bed is the move
Dolby Sound will be then top crown
When I put the needle into your groove
I got a good thing
And in full swing
I show this in gifts, words or letters
But even without those three
Eye know you'll be close to me cause
Eye know I love you better
It's I again and the soul that I send
Is taking steps to reach your heart
Any moment you feel alone
I can fill up your empty part
We can ascend 'til we reach De La heaven
And in a spin we'll hit the top ten
Then we can meet Mr Stuckie
And Pos' brother Lucky will preach
Let the wedding begin
Shot by an arrow of cupid
Through the string of a G-clef
My dear, I claim you're deaf
And if you can hear me, by golly gee
Trugoy is ready for what you possess
We could live in my Plug Two home
And on Mars where we could be all alone
And we make a song for two
Picture perfect things and I sing of how
Eye know I love you better

Rest in peace Dave. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and music you bestowed upon us. You will truly be missed brotha
gritz & gravy: Not to detract from your timely homage, but I love the name of your YT channel.
@@prattleanddaub ty very much. I am a big Dave Chappelle fan
RIP Trugoy, gone too soon
The young generation can learn a lot from the De La Soul music anthology. Rest In Peace, Trugoy. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Amen, beautifully said. 🤍🙏🏽 REST IN POWER, Dave Plug 2.
The fact this holds up in 2023 proves how timeless golden age hip hop truly is.
Rest in Power Trugoy 🕊 (1968 - 2023).
so true
It's an excellent album but 1989 is a few years too early to be considered the golden age of hip hop, by any definition.
@@bdotm the definition of golden age is literally late 80s to mid 90s... 1989 is the prime time golden age - you had so much classic stuff coming out around then!
This is one of the best hip hop albums of all time
That’s a fact
I feel like it’s really hard to make “happy” sounding music without coming off as corny and they nail it so hard
this is fun, happy and playful
@@4tado yeah I think you’re right
@@awakeinsd the song samples way more than the steely dan song, not to take away from how amazing the entiritey of aja is tho
@@LeadBeatPink and a feel good/good vibe tune.
It’s cause they’re real and have a classy way about how they write lyrics and present themselves 🤷🏽♂️
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90s were. ✌🏾😎
Song came out in 1989, my brother.
!!!!
I’m pretty sure they do since y’all post this repetitive comment on every 90s music video 😅
1)This is an 80s song
2)Not everyone who listens to this song was alive in the 90s, it's a popular album that anyone into hip hop would know. 'This generation' may therefore develop some understanding
3)There's dope music from every decade running back to the 50s up til now
👍
I'm crying.
Thank you for all the love you put into your art, Trugoy. You can't imagine how important you guys were - not just musically - for me as a teenager.
😔Rest in Power.
❤
In tears 😢
Me too but this steely dan song always made me have a happy but sad nostalgic feeling and Trugoy passing doest make it any better RIP
🕯️🙏🏾🕯️
Stay Awesome
#RIPDave
had no idea Trugoy had passed away! RIP :(
So happy they cleared the Steely Dan sample. And from the looks of the title, the estate of Otis Redding must have cleared it with the condition that Otis Redding be listed as the featured artist on the song.
Whatever -- I'm just glad the song is in tact! Finally after all these years a legal copy for streaming and sale.
Lol yep. Featuring a little Otis whistle
So that wasn't always in the video ????cause obviously they were younger when this video came out...trugoy died today
@@eddiejstarboy6942 Definitely was always in the video. This video is unchanged from the one that was released in the 90s. They just cleared the samples.
And yes -- rest easy Dave Jolicoeur. Gone way, way too soon. Three will always be the magic number. "Without my one and two where would that be my three, Mase Pos and Me".
@@devrongrant2183 video released in 1989**
Imagine creating a song like this at the ages of 19-21. These guys were beyond talented and helped define 90s hip-hop.
The happiest song in all of hip hop
I think this is "Straight Outta Compton".
@@prometeoresiste Or "DWYCK." Or "That's the Joint." Or "Broccoli."
I'm crying, bro. I love this song. Thanks, Dad, for having this cassette tape stashed in your closet 16 years ago. 🧡
EDIT: Rest easy, Trugoy. We love you.
Just heard the news. Rest In Peace, Trugoy the Dove 🕊 🌸🌼
@@ericg1757 yeah absolutely gutted to hear this 😢 RIP
💔
I only just saw this sad news .. & ur comment threw me a little (timing wise).. as I thought u were sad abt his passing 😮 🕊️
Definitely my favorite cut off the album. Rest In Power Plug Two
So cool to see the younger gen be introduced to old hiphop through TMNT🤣
Turtle Power all the way!!!
I was surprised at how much good old school music they put in. Loved the soundtrack so much.
My college aged sons both found them independently of me recently. I loved them back in the day. Happy to see they have discerning taste and an eye for just plain well crafted music.
I did not. I found it through NWA
Refreshing how no one talked about how much money they have, which designer clothes they wore or the car they drove. Straight pure lyricism
I mean rappers talked about that throughout the 90s also lol. De La was an exception to the rule
Never listen to these guys until now.....While older and checking for more clean music.
As a young man, this was too weak......Solid material from man to man....Give them all their flowers now 🙏
And if De La Soul does do lyrics like that, then it's a spoof or a criticism of that type of rap music. Listen to "Stakes Is High".
I like hearing braggadocious tracks from time to time, especially if it’s done in a clever way. Obviously it gets stale if it’s the only thing being rapped about, but I don’t think it’s inherently bad.
“It's I again and the soul that I send
Is taking steps to reach your heart
Any moment you feel alone
I can fill up your empty part
We can ascend 'til we reach De La Heaven”
RIP Dave, thanks for the beautiful bars
I've been struggling, to be honest.
De La Soul, you never disappoint. One of the best Hip-Hop groups to come out in our lifetime. Especially with all their originality and creativity, De La Soul is always soothing to the ears. Peace
Edit: Damn, just seen the recent news of Trugoy… Rest in Peace, now De La Soul has another reason to show their catalog in honor of plug two. Much love, be safe everyone.

Thank the skies for De La..."Of The Soul." One of the most original groups in an era where originality was everything. Shame on the "music business" for keeping them from reaching the ears of future generations. Peace

This is one of the greatest hip hop song ever made. From the construction of the beat, to the profound lyrics, to the simply feel good vibe of the track. Absolutely perfect.
It samples Peg from Steely Dan
This beat sounds a little hotter than it originally did. This shit knocking 4real!
1st I was like naw but then I listened and I think this is a remaster/remix. Good ear!

So glad De La didn't go 'gangsta' route! They stayed TRUE. Cheers,
It was weird, but we became a family 😊
I know the reference, but imma wait till the film is out to give it away lol.

It was all about lifting up. Not glorifying the societal ruins.

@@hello_04 did you see the clip of Aaliyah gushing about 3ft high and rising? Posdnous has it on his instagram
My first De La album was De La Soul is Dead. But they will never be...
😔
The Steele Dan sample was all that. 😢 Peace to Da LA Soul and rest in peace Dave. God bless you all

RiP Trugoy my favorite De La Soul song
Rest in peace Plug Two🙏🏻
“We can ascend 'til we reach De La Heaven” - RIP dove 🕊️
I'm so happy theye been able to release all their old stuff!! LOVE IT
Hello, can you explain why they weren’t able to release them before? I’ve been a bit confused as to why they are releasing their old music now.
@@RonniVaGa basically they got fucked over from their old contract. And all of their old content wasn’t owned by group. The record company kept all the rights.
@@PUNPUNBOMB I hope maybe this means they can get their original albums up on iTunes & stuff? It would be FANTASTIC if they were finally able 2 make $ on them after all this time! (Hope, hope)
@@RonniVaGa it had something to do with the lablel Tommy Boy not clearing all of the samples

The Steely Dan sample is gorgeous, I'm so glad this is on streaming services now
DeLa Soul is HIP HOP
I heard this growing up all through the 90s… my dad was a hip hop head and used to play this when I used to visit him on the weekends. We would do silly dances around the living room of his one room bedsit / flat with vinyl stacked all around…Hearing this song as a child really helps me to tap back into that mind-state and remember the good times. My father had a complicated life and therefore our relationship was always complex, but one thing I will be eternally grateful for is the wonderful music I would hear and was exposed to back then. I don’t know. When I hear this song it’s like he’s telling me… ‘eye know I love you better…’

That’s a great memory man! Cherish that! And DE LA SOUL 4EVER
Your dad was a G👍
While there was a learning curve given some of the remixed plot elements, I really felt like using this song in Mutant Mayhem was such a beautiful nod to the time where Turtles truly ruled the world. The late 80/early 90s hip hop boom was intergral to the vibe of the 1990 film, so this felt perfect.
Love how they used this in the new ninja turtles movie! I'm a de la soul guy now
The needle drops in that movie were amazing
Rest In Power Dove. Your music is timeless
Word up !!😔
Prince Paul is a genius. Nobody sounds like De La. This song is pure joy
no cursing, no N word, no jewelry. just pure creativity and up lifting tunes. made my High Skool daze go by smooth
I was in going from high school to the Marines when they came out. I was fortunate to win tickets to see them in Mexico. Awesome concert no fussing and fighting. Positive vibes peace. ✌🏽 ✌🏽
