Entries in Gorillaz (3)

Throwback Thursdays: Del the Funky Homosapien

The always underrated Del (of the Hieroglyphics crew) makes all the heads nod on this 1991 classic. Don't recognize the name? You probably recognize the voice from this cut.

Throwback Thursdays: De La Soul

De La Soul came on the scene in 1987 and threw us all for a loop with their "daisy age" philosphy and their jazz-based samples. Most of us were accustom to the boom-bap flavors and rock-riff samples of Run DMC and the Beastie Boys. De La is still around today (and still relevant - scoring not one but two hits with Gorrilaz). This jam is from 1991 - I just bought it on vinyl this weekend. Dig.

 

Feel Good Fridays: Bran Van 3000

Remember this cut?  Get your weekend started y'all.  Bran Van 3000 is a musical collective from Canada that has put together 4 studio albums over the past 13 years.  This was the single off their 1997 debut, Glee.  Sort of the Gorillaz before Gorillaz existed.  Dig it.
