Video: Dig Of The Day: De La Soul – Ego Trippin’ Part Two (1993)

We have a brilliant and high quality material from the legendary group De La Soul, a track titled Ego Trippin’ Part Two, which was released as a single on Tommy Boy in ’93 and also appears on De La Soul‘s 3rd album Buhloone Mind State from the same year. ‎The track features vocal contributions from female Philadelphia rapper Shorty No Mass who also appears in the video.

The song never actually had a “Part One”. The “Part Two” in the title is a reference to Ultramagnetic MC‘s Ego Trippin’. However, as a parody of gangsta rap, it was preceded by De La Soul‘s own Afro Connections at a Hi 5 (In the Eyes of a Hoodlum) from their 1991 album, De La Soul is Dead.

Pure classic.

Produced by De La Soul and Prince Paul.
