Unable to describe the feeling i had as a 15 year old listening to this cassette at the back of a Chemistry class in Edinburgh in '89. Rest in Power Dave.
I promise lol I tell ppl all the time it was a feeling that came over you that’s hard to explain the first time you heard tracks like this for the first time
I was 15 years old as well. This album changed my life. I felt seen. Since those days, I sought to fill my life with art and culture. While I've experienced a lot, I will never forget where it all started. I'll never forget the freedom and the world-building on this album that made me understand who I was and what was possible. Rest in Power, Dove.
This era of music is the soundtrack to our teenage, early adult hood lives yoooo...its like a part of us is now missing when the artist of this genre passes on....🙏
RIP Trugoy of De La Soul. David Jolicoeur was born on September 21, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York to Haitian-American parents, but grew up in the Long Island hamlet of East Massapequa. ❤️🙏🏾🕊 🇭🇹🇺🇸
I couldn't believe it when I first heard this! Back in '89.... I never heard anything like this before. It was phenomenal then and it's still phenomenal 34 years later! Gonna miss you Dave! 🔥❤️👊🏽 We Love De La Soul!!!
I haven't heard this mixed version since '88 when Red Alert played it. Thank you for posting this version. To those that know, this is not the same version on the album.
While I liked your post, I had the original tape, and both were on it. What's wild is the original I remember hearing on WBLS, I THINK, well before the album came out and was blown away. I was just a kid. I would always hope to hear it again. Probably only heard it about 3-4 times but then flash fwd to when the vid for Potholes debuted on Video Music Box - Again, blown away but DID NOT KNOW it was the same group. When the tape came out, I was like, "OOOOOOOOOHHHH, IT'S THEM!!!" Lmmfao.
@overstandinggod3410 Ironically, I was gunna mention that. Lol. I was just surprised reading your comment.The original was crucial. I don't remember if I mentioned it but I've learned to love the remix faaar more over the decades. I actually kinda don't like listening to the original anymore 🤷🏿♂️
I comprehended this the first chance. I didn’t realize just how much I appreciated De La till I heard Dove went to De La Heaven. Not at all an emotional dude, but that one hit hard like Nipsey, something bout when a soul charged positive transitions early.
Was just playing this 94.7 in nyc and I was bumping it. Stopped at a bus stop at a light and the high school kids thought that I was playing something from Saturn the way they were looking at me. They have no idea about classics like this
When I first heard this, I thought it was Slick Rick Tha Ruler. I miss this Era sooo much. Thank You for the Gift You Shared to the World Plug 2. Sleep In Peace Dave🕊️🕯️🙏🏽 🌹 #CI-NYIT
Back in L.A. on 1580 kday I was like 11 and I’d record shows on tape and I remember this was the first De La song I ever heard but didn’t know it was them until 2 or 3 years later when my friend had 3ft high and rising Tape his older sister gave to him. This song comes on and by that time some how i deciphered POS’s first verse and knew it by heart and that was the beginning of my love affair with De La Soul which has gone on to this day.
Everything about hip hop that captured my musical imagination as a teenage boy. It's also everything I miss about hip hop today as a middle age GenXer.
This song was mind blowing when i was a youngin At 47 i still don't know the meaning. It just feels futuristic and out of this world at the same time Blessings my brothers and sisters I pray daily for world peace
Remember when Lady B dropped the needle on this. Street Beat Power 99, summer 1988. Waaay from the left, but banged nonetheless. RIP Dave. You and your brothers are legends, etch that, icons in the history of hip hop.
I was just messing around with hip hop until I heard DE LA SOUL and fell head over heels in love with Hip Hop, 50 years in and I've lost that loving feeling
what was Hip Hop 50 yrs ago? 1972? I was born in that year....only "hip hop" type thang I'm aware of was Gil Scott Heron and the Last Poets. Amazing things no doubt but nobody called it "hip hop" then. inverse reverse retro-fit projections. Or perhaps you yourself are 50 yrs old and have "lost that loving feeling". Clarify
The original version. I don't think Tommy Boy Records even thought De La would catch on the way it did when this came out. I first heard this spring of 1988 and bought it strictly because Prince Paul produced it and Paul was one of my production heroes. I didn't know I was witnessing the birth of a phenomenon.
This version of Plug Tunin isn’t on the 3 Feet High album that was just re-released .. anybody know why? I’m guessing maybe a sample clearance issue? 🤷🏾♂️

Amen you spoke nothing but the truth
This is top three best rap tracks ever made. On GAWD
One of their best tracks. RIP Plug 2
This song is one of the most underrated songs ever
It was never underrated in the Hip Hop Community, though. 😁💯💪🏾
I miss the 80's. There will never be another Trugoy
"GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!"
This shit was like the Beetles of hip hop to me when it came out….that 1st record? I still listen to it on a regular….I’m 52 now….🖤y’all be safe🥶

Not alone, brother.
STILL 30 years ahead of the bell curve.

Awwwww NOOO man! I had no idea another golden era artist had left us. Condolences to his family and friends🙏
such good energy!! I remember 1580 KDAY used to spin this a lot back in tha day, absolutely classic...

So under-rated... miss all of Native Tongue rap including Tribe, Jungle Bros and Black Sheep
Everything about hip hop that captured my musical imagination as a teenage boy. It's also everything I miss about hip hop today as a middle age GenXer.

This song was mind blowing when i was a youngin
At 47 i still don't know the meaning.
It just feels futuristic and out of this world at the same time

I will never forget the summer that this song came out. Even the most gangster nigga in dc and Brooklyn was blasting this

Posdnous and Dave have similar voice, love how they blend.

WorD Up 💣🎤🔥pLuG2 DeLa SouL!
I still listen to this track it stays on play in the pod
Cummin thru Ralph Ave in my Chrysler new Yorker rental.....N A ROCK
Part of my mentors , was unlike anything ever heard before. I am a rap artist. When this dropped,I just thought WOW. Pretty trippy 🎉
I first heard this on 98.7 Kiss fm with Red Alert and Chuck Chillout....APRIL 1988.
De la Bridged a gap. Supreme lyrics. And diverse samples. Saw them high 3ft tour. Hummingbird Birmingham UK. So good. 13 year.
Brings me back to freshman year of high school. Classic!
We need the test pressing to Salt n Pepa Tramp !
Best version

CLASSICAL HIP HOP STILL A BANGER 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Prince Paul is a genius with his production.
Glad I got to see them perform in VA Beach promoting 3 Feet High And Rising back in the day..And this is before the album officially dropped
Still DOPE…
💯.....
The Daisy Age Sage(s)!!!! RIP Plug Two!!!

Hopefully soon.

This version of Plug Tunin isn’t on the 3 Feet High album that was just re-released .. anybody know why? I’m guessing maybe a sample clearance issue? 🤷🏾♂️
Guess so, but it needs to be released to streaming asap.
Was this version taken off 3ft high and rising ?
It was for I’m assuming sample issues
@@TominoCabana Right! damm I bought 3ft high and rising on tape in the 80s I remember this version as a bonus track
I love the acetate sound

I think it's just me but the way the sample sounded it used to terrify me
dope dope dope dopety fuckin' dope dope
This is the second de la song that have pieces missing. Plug 2 is missing
Is this a rip of the test pressing? Did you rip it in lossless? If so could you suply us with a DL link in lossless?
Listen to the lyrics....strange huh🤔🧐
Because I m alot smarter than your average bear
Trugoy has a lot of dandruff
