My top 10 favourite Del The Funky Homosapien tracks, a thread
10. Preservation - Wu Tang meets indie Culture
Nasty piano sample that Dr Dre flipped for crack a bottle a few years later. Del and Aesop Rock have great chemistry on this track https://open.spotify.com/track/4m5zY9PRJvqPRDhDMJwSel?si=_32Wj1azTzSTf5Tlu6SF8A

1. Wack MCs - No Need For Alarm
Nasty bassline and Del shows off his unique rhyme schemes. There’s dizzying internal rhymes while sometimes disregarding the end rhymes for the sake of the flow. I’ve never heard rhyme schemes quite like this https://open.spotify.com/track/5Ti3ti2zVgl3sZfgcyROVD?si=_QjAC8XRTCuT5P5ts2iFYw

Del is one of the most underrated rappers ever, has very unique rhyme schemes and eccentric delivery. This man can flow over any beat and is one of the best story tellers to hold a mic.
