Back in the early 90s when every rapper was pretending to be "gangsta," De La Soul was original, true to who they were, and showed there was another side of Hip Hop thats Didn't involve guns, drugs, and "bitches." #RIPDave #RIPDaveJolicoeur #TrugoyTheDove

@ba4hire I never said there weren't other doing it. There many others I could name to. I'm giving flowers to Dave cause he was a pioneer.

@verbalriotshow "We might blow up, but we won't go pop!" I've been savoring that line for almost 30 years.

@verbalriotshow Up until 1994 when Snoop's Doggystyle album came out, hip-hop was positive and educational. But after Doggystyle blew up, gangsta rap took over and hip-hop has been going down the drain ever since
