Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

So what we was doing together as three dudes and showing different aspects of ourselves.

But then we get around Jungle.

And then they show them what they're doing.

And then...

tribe like we would just make inspiring each other and showing like yo if if junk of tip can do it i know i can do it and tip is like yo if dave can do it i know i can do it we're just inspiring each other yeah and even on like the branding and fashion side and again i'm not here to like shit on the current generation but like the way that you guys dressed and branded everything was authentic to what you guys were doing i'm not knocking anyone that wears designer or anything like that but

that is also missing in hip hop, I feel like.

How you actually, like, listen, everybody in Queensbridge dressed that way because that's how everyone in Queensbridge dressed.

It wasn't, they were not all buying whatever the mannequin was at the mall.

Like, this is really authentic to what we are doing at this time.

That has completely gone missing.

Like, I think Virgil did a great job in merging those type of worlds, but I think Odd Future was maybe good at it, but even that was more on the Supreme side, but...

That has been lost when it comes to branding and marketing.

The authenticity of where you're from and how you dress is not based off high-end brand shit.

Y'all didn't go to Roosevelt Fields and just fucking buy the mannequin.

You're right.

And like you said, it's like even our brothers on the west side of things.

You was like, yo, look how they dress.

Look how they're putting things together.

It wasn't marketing.

It was authentic, but it became marketing.
