Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

With Killer Mike, and forgive me because the link they sent us has dot, dot, dot, I don't know the full title, but the Mama record with Killer Mike.

Yeah, yeah.

A quick 16 for Mama.

Yeah, how did that come together with just that idea?

Was that a conversation in the studio prior to the approach?

Nah, not sent, because that was produced by Knott's.

Yeah.

Sent a bunch of stuff that was crazy.

But always, I always try to take time and you hear something that was amazing, but I always try to be like, yo, let me listen to it the following day.

And then all of a sudden in the list of stuff that you think is crazy, like, all right, all right.

Okay, I can push this one to the side.

And I just also start looking at what I have already and what I need.

So not like these three not records that sound like I can write these crazy rhymes to, but what's missing from the album.

And that record where the voice is saying what she's saying, what mama told me, you got to, you know, one thing you got to hustle for it.

And I was like, yo, this could be a great record where I talk about my mother who ain't here and maybe get on with another MC who mother wasn't here.

So it had to be an MC who moms was gone with transition.

Yeah.

And the first, I mean, right off the bat, I was like,

It was either going to be Killer Mike.

And I was like, Bun B. And I wasn't sure if, you know, his mom's past.
