De La Soul - Take It Off

ORIGINATION Three Feet High And Rising
LAST LISTENED TO last month sometime
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT mmph
RATING

When De La Soul released their debut album, it's playful grooves where somewhat at odds with the prevailing fashion in hip hop at the time. Not that it was any less relevant or had less of a message, it just sugar-coated things more.

Take It Off has always been one of my least favourite moments on the album. There really isn't much to it and the repetitious use of 'take it off' just bugs me after a while. To be fair, though, i respect its anti-fashion/label stance. Still, it feels a bit like as album filler.
