Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the history of De La Soul?

0.031 - 24.764 Unknown

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognize Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk tanking. I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA.

25.324 - 45.25 Unknown

We talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games. Check out Game Recognize Game with Stewie and Miles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Paul show are geniuses.

We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand.

56.743 - 60.947 Rory

Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, and this is my friend who's much more famous than I am. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green, co-host of the podcast The Away End with my old friend Daniel.

Chapter 3: What challenges did De La Soul face with their label?

105.574 - 128.706 Unknown

I know that, Greg. We're teaming up on 40s and Free Agents, the podcast that owns the NFL offseason. This is where teams are built. Free agency, combine, pro days, trades. Every move matters. From my draft boards and mock drafts. To my vaunted top 101 free agents and how rosters come together. Quarterback movement. Surprise signings. We'll tell you what it means and who really wins.

Chapter 4: How does De La Soul feel about their new project with Mass Appeal?

137.381 - 154.396 Unknown

No, I want to leave here with my original hips. On the podcast, The Matchup with Aaliyah, I pair prominent female athletes with unexpected guests. On a recent episode, I sat down with undisputed boxing champ, Clarissa Shields, and comedian, Wanda Sykes, to talk about Wanda's new movie, Undercard, the art of trash talk, and what it really means to be ladylike.

173.62 - 183.214 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Today we are joined by Hip Hop Royalty. I mean that in every sense of the word. Grew up listening to these guys. Now, some people just say Hip Hop Royalty just to say it as an intro.

183.234 - 183.955 Mal

It's a little different.

No, no, no, listen, man.

185.578 - 186.219 Mal

It's a little different.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of sampling in De La Soul's music?

186.299 - 210.843 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

I ran home off the school bus to watch video music by VJ Ralph McDaniels. Legend. To catch these guys, see the video. I needed to see what they was wearing. I wanted to see the haircuts they had. I was like all the way in that mode with this group. I'm a little older than you. That is true. You know, you wasn't really outside like that. But today we are joined by the legendary De La Soul.

Chapter 6: How does De La Soul view the current state of hip-hop?

221.863 - 242.989 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Thank you, brother. This is incredible. This is one of those moments where I'm like, damn. I'm talking to De La Soul. What the fuck am I doing? They hit our group chat where we talk about guests and everything, and they had the nerve to ask, do you guys want De La on? It's like, why would you ask some dumbass question like that? You're supposed to just tell us when they're there.

0

243.009 - 252.078 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

What time would they be there? What time do we need to be there for them? But gentlemen, it is a pleasure. First of all, rest in peace to True Boy. No doubt. Thank you. Got to start there.

Chapter 7: What legacy did Dave from De La Soul leave behind?

252.299 - 254.661 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Thank you. But yes...

0

254.641 - 267.344 Maseo (De La Soul)

You have a new album coming. We'll get to all of that. But I want to start from the beginning, man. Like I said, watching you guys growing up in New York City. I'm from the Bronx and getting to see the videos.

0

267.425 - 272.374 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

And, you know, that's how we kind of understood, you know, the fashion.

0

272.394 - 284.923 Maseo (De La Soul)

And when I was a kid, we saw what y'all were wearing and the things that y'all were saying. How does it feel now? Looking back at all of the things that y'all have accomplished in the culture, the people that y'all have influenced, the artists y'all have influenced.

0

285.565 - 288.293 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

How does it feel looking back on it? Like, damn, like.

289.522 - 314.905 Maseo (De La Soul)

we accomplished so much and what feels like it's not it doesn't feel like it was a long time but it has been a while but how does it look how does it feel to look back at that like damn we said we started out saying we wanted to do this years later look at everything we accomplished first you go wow where did the time go yeah yeah and um the other part

315.712 - 326.321 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Really don't think about it until people like yourselves say something and then it's that moment of reflection like, damn, wow, you did some shit.

Chapter 8: How does De La Soul maintain their brotherhood after decades?

326.501 - 352.387 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

You know what I mean? It's a blessing. I'm thankful, you know. Back then, I had no idea that what we are all involved with would be as big as it is today, you know, and to still be a significant part of the fabric. It's just... God's gift, you know what I mean? How did Native Tongues exactly come together in that era?

0

352.407 - 373.596 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Because if I were to paint a family tree of all the music that I love, it would probably be inspired by y'all, Queen Latifah, Leaders of the New School, Tribe. That family tree, if you made it, you could put damn near every artist that I love under that family tree. What was in the water at that time? How did y'all even all connect...

0

373.576 - 384.582 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Tifa being from Jersey, Tribe being from Queens, Legion New School in Brooklyn, you guys in Long Island. How did that collection even come together? It started from...

414.227 - 434.92 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

Like, yo, man, pleasure to meet you. We love what you're doing. Yo, come by the studio. And cats would come by. Us being around Paul, that's how we met. Milk and Giz or Light, same way. So it was like high school, honestly. And then you just start getting into your little cliques in high school. But everyone was really friendly with each other. So Jungle came through, met up with us.

435.153 - 453.781 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

You know, or even at Queens Day. Queens Day was when we met Trap. We met, yeah, Tip Rollup, his little voice, like, yo, pass me in, you know, Q-Tip. And we was like, all right. And so we just all... It's so funny how those things happen. Yeah. There's no social media. Nah. This is literally, you have to be in these spaces to meet each other. Yeah, to meet each other.

453.801 - 460.671 Maseo (De La Soul)

And then, you know, like, you know, I know what it is now when rappers in the same room, it's that weird thing where...

460.651 - 477.433 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

You know who each other are. You've never met. Met, yeah. But you don't want to say what's up first because it's like, yo, what if I extend my hand and he ain't as welcoming? Yeah, that has happened. You know what I mean? It's kind of like, yo, I fuck with him. I never met him. Do I go over there and say what's up? That has happened and I vowed I would never be like that. Okay.

477.453 - 495.578 Trugoy the Dove (De La Soul)

And that has happened, you know, where you, you know, you want to introduce yourself to some of your favorites, you know? Yeah, yeah. And you kind of, honored to be a part of this fabric, this fraternity now. And you get kind of played or sunned or something like that.
