I found this press video helping introduce the world to the group that is De La Soul. I can remember the day I saw this while watching DJ Ralph McDaniel's Video Music Box somewhere in '89 (damn it's been 20yrs already??). It's been a wrap ever since. Icons of hip hop and innovation no doubt..peep game.
Fast forward to 2009....De La and Nike have collaborated to produce their new album, "Are You In?" The genius of this is 1) Nike..nuff said...2)the album is classic De La material...3)the record is actually designed as an audio aid for athletes throughout the workout process. It includes an opening which puts you in the mindset of getting ready, stretching, warming up, etc. As the record progresses, the pace pics up...then slows back down towards the final minutes of your workout. The shit is brilliant, lol.
