MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening groove of “Me, Myself and I”)

Climbing the charts on February 5, 1990 —
De La Soul’s
“Me, Myself and I.”

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

The song is built around an instantly recognizable sample of
“Knee Deep”
by Funkadelic.

(Music Cut 3 — “Knee Deep”)

George Clinton was so impressed by how De La Soul flipped it
that he didn’t just clear the sample —
he became a lifelong fan.

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
tell me mirror what is wrong?” — De La Soul
