Ill Doctrine Radio 2/18/23: He Did It For Us

"Years just blow by
My eyes stay fixed but the picture's kinda out of focus
I cry a lot but admit to it
Enjoying life now but I've been through it
Sometimes I wish that I can go back
No bills no kids just getting tore back
I want a wife, I love women
How could I front like I don't be in love wit em?
A little man that I can teach
A little sand but not the beach
I figure excess'll only bring an excessive amount of fuss
So when I'm gone, make sure the head stone reads: He did it for us."

-Trugoy the Dove, "Trying People"

This one is for Dave. A full set of music from De La Soul, with personal tributes from Skyy Hook from the legendary Wake Up Show, Dave Zirin from The Nation, Gabriel Teodros and a bunch of other friends.

Plug Tunin - (original 12-inch version, the one that started it all! I remember spending weeks trying to find this when Red Alert started playing it on 98.7 KISS FM, but not knowing the name of the group...and repeatedly passing by the 12-inch at Nobody Beats The Wiz on 97th St because "De La Soul" did not sound like the name of a rap group to me, I kept assuming it was some house or dance record)
