Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

We were talking about it being Tommy Boy's responsibility to clear those samples.

You guys were young and just making music at that time.

You knew about getting clearances, but you know that that fell on y'all.

That fell on the label.

All the administration falls on the label.

That's part of their job.

We bake the cake, you sell the cake.

Exactly.

um coming off the tommy boy do how did this entire mass appeal year come together like

We've been talking nonstop.

Why Mass Appeal?

Why?

I know there's no Grammys for labels, but there needs to be some type of award that goes to Mass Appeal for everything that they have pulled off this year.

Not only just pulling it off, pulling it off with integrity, with grace, with being extra delicate, even with the Mobb Deep stuff.

Like...

the music actually hits as well.

Of course we see that list and it's like, of course I want to hear from these guys.

Yeah.

But when the music hits as well, I think that's a different type of stat.

Did Peter, Nas, and like, how did this whole thing come together when they had this list?
