De la Soul f. Double "You Gotta Believe"

This video, taken from the Parappa the Rapper video game, is not as egregious and earth-shatteringly cred-killing as that kid in the Hiero tee-shirt will have you believe. Rationale: first, that kid totally only got into hip-hop via Deltron 3030, and his opinion should be considered in light of that. Second, De La are straight Paleolithic as far as the genre's concerned, and there's nothing wrong with teachin' them youngins how to (literally) cook up a rhyme. Third, Parappa is incredibly addictive and the original game had a level completely devoted to taking a shit (true). Fourth, this.

PS: The flat-body/real-head animated electric slide thing is bizarre.

I have been following your latest video fetish closely as I do follow everything you do on this blog. I very much enjoy the change of pace and your selection in video segments to spotlight is nicely thought out.
Excellent work!

Parappa the Rapper is still one of my favorite games of all time. I can still recite lyrics from it, and i haven't played it in like 7 years.
