Jeff, a brainwashed follower, runs into De La Soul and asks them why they don’t act like the more prominent gangster rappers in hip-hop. This track provides a bit of context to the song “The Mack Daddy on the Left.”
Jeff is voiced by Chi-Ali, a fellow Native Tongues member, who made his debut with...
JEFF: Yo yo, hey man, ain't you guys um, Plug One? Plug Two?
Potholes in my Lawn? You're those weird guys, De La Soul, right?
DOVE: Yeah, what's up little man, how you feeling, I'm Dove, how you
Feeling
POS: Yo what's up man, my name is Pos
MASE: What's up, I'm Mase. Yo, shorty, what's your name?
JEFF: Oh, my name? Jeff. You guys are walking? Now rappers ain't
Supposed to walk
POS: Sorry little man, but you know...
JEFF: Jeff. I told you, my name is Jeff. If you guys are rappers
Where's your dukey gold chains? Y'all don't have no dukey gold chains
MASE: We don't wear gold chains, we'd rather spend our money on
More important things like, equipment, necessities...
DE LA SOUL: And video games!
JEFF: Y'all are crazy. No chains, dag. Okay, where's your BMW?
You're not supposed to walk. Where's your Jeeps, your Maximas?
DOVE: Maximas? Yo, Maxin' would break my flow. And with the cause of
Gas, Jeff man, I'd rather take the transit that's mass
JEFF: What you say? You are C-R-A-Z-E-E. Crazee. Don't you know you
Can't be def if you don't have no gold? Or a car, man? What's up?
MASE: Who told you that?
JEFF: Everybody who's def has gold, cars, money, girls, clothes...
MASE: Wait a minute, wait a minute, shorty, you're buggin'. Do you like
Plug Tunin' and
Potholes?
JEFF: Yeah that song's def
POS: But we don't wear no gold chains, nor do we ride BMWs and
Maxes or Jeeps, yet you still think our music is def, right? Wait a
Minute. Did I say 'def'?
DE LA SOUL: Rrrr-RRAH!
JEFF: What?
POS: Nothing, nothing. It's just that we don't deal with all that
Materialistic stuff, but we still got what it takes to please and
Supply our listeners, understand my man?
JEFF: Where's your beepers? Why don't you have beepers? Everybody wears beepers. You have to have beepers to look down
MASE: AAAUUGHHH! Little man is brainwashed indeed!
DOVE: Nah, nah. Beepers are the least of status situators, man. Plus
I find them ugly as parking tickets
JEFF: You guys talk funny
POS: Well actually our verbal is kinetic, so when released flow A to
Z is perfectly pitched in advance in intricacy
JEFF: Yeah you homeboys are really bugged
POS: Wait a minute. Did he say...
MASE: Bugged?
DE LA SOUL: Rrrr-RRAH!
JEFF: So no car, no beepers, no gold. That's weak man, that's weak
DOVE: Jesus, did he say "weak?" Jesus, they never learn
POS: Foolish mind, have I, have I
MASE: Actin' like that lady!
DE LA SOUL: That lady!
POS: Peace, my brother...

Just being in the studio bored, the idea just came to throw this 11-year old kid on the track and let him talk shit about De La Soul. He was acting as the voice of the masses. We wanted to make sense of the fa...
