De La Soul - Transmitting Live from Mars (Official Audio)

Lyrics
Ecoutez: À midi"  
Quelle heure est-il?  
Il est midi  
C'est l'heure de déjeuner  
Qu'est-ce qu'il y a à manger?  
Des saucisses, sans doute  
 
Écoutez et répétez: "A midi"  
Quelle heure est-il?  
Quelle heure?  
Quelle heure est-il?  
Est-il?  
Quelle heure est-il?  
 
Il est midi  
Il est midi  
Il est midi  
 
C'est l'heure de déjeuner  
C'est l'heure  
C'est l'heure de déjeuner  
De déjeuner  
C'est l'heure de déjeuner  
 
Qu'est-ce qu'il y a à manger?  
Qu'est-ce qu'il y à?

Madlib cites Prince Paul as one of his main influences. It’s so evident in songs and concepts like this. Paul was so forward thinking.

[curly-d]

It’s crazy how Prince Paul accidentally produced one of the first “trip hop” beats for what was otherwise a short interlude track on a classic hip hop album.

[ScrungusBungus]

2023 and this beat sounds like a trippy/ lo-fi beat made this year! I feel this vibe.

[Goatchild]

This is when I knew I was listening to a classic album made by musical geniuses. Props to Prince Paul.

[Fleezy]

This song has more views than some other De La songs. That says a lot!!

[kellyluck]

I heard this on a friend's mixtape when it came out, but never got the name of it, and it's taken me til today to find out what it was. It still kicks.

[francisdanaus]

I'm french and i love this track so mutch !!! 😃😃👍

[bluemantom]

Show all the love we can this is hip hop they was never bite love anyone they had their own unique style I grew up in da Bronx first heard their music in 88 it was a huge part of hip-hop end of story

[Buccaneer]

This beat went (and still does...) so hard. I damn-near broke the rewind button on my Walkman back in the day! BIG ups, to Prince Paul!

[Del-Lebo]

Brilliant audio sculpture!!! Best record when I was graduating university!!! UMCP

[kevinmcbroom]

This is the million dollar track ....literally...they got sued by the Turtles....for this sample..in this song...😢...for about 2.5 89 that was alotta bread!!!

[macracing]

I bought this album in 4th grade when it came out. Such an important album in hip hop history.

[christophemontagnol]

Bien le bonjour de Mars, il est 8 heures

[Ashfaq]

Brilliant track. The blueprint for trip hop right here 👊

[VendingMachine]

This beat is INSANELY trippy and lofi for 1989 holy crap. Forward-thinking af

[DoctorMeatDic]

Just incredible. They just throw this on the album for a laugh.

[AbrahamPalmer-wjcb]

This song sounds like is made from 1995-1996/7 it sounds so ahead of it's time.

[MultiMaker_Studios]

Still can’t believe that this is the track that almost made De La Soul lost to time.
The Dove might’ve flown high before the online releases, but at least he now has the best seats to see how big they truly were and how much them and their tracks still matter

[ChristopherHedum-jseg]

Best Hip Hop albums of all time...Pauls Boutique and 3 Feet High and Rising..

[adeona]

Internal Affairs is definitely in my Top 10 rap albums of all time.. 💪🏿
