Lemar And Dauley®

Just in time to give thanks to some hip-hop legends, our musical collaborative project with Mick Boogie and Terry Urban releases today! LE DA SOUL: 20 years of De La Soul!

Inspired by 20 years of greatness from hip-hop's most consistent group, De La Soul, this project unites the cream of the crop in hiphop… including old school legends (Phife, Camp Lo and Skillz), current hitmakers (Talib Kweli and Kardinal Offishall) and future stars (U-N-I, Tanya Morgan and Tabi Bonney) to remake their favorite De La classics.

Originally stemming from Mick Boogie's popular VH1 Honor Roll mixtape last year, we worked with our favorite artists and producers to create an astounding 20 remakes!  One for every year of De La history!

Lemar And Dauley, Mick, Terry and The Press Play Show would like to thank and salute Pos, Dave and Mase for 20 years of making history!

This Wednesday, we are finally releasing our De La Soul tribute project in collaboration with both Mick Boogie and Terry Urban, LE DA SOUL, which gives thanks to one of the most consistent groups in hiphop history.  Featuring everyone from Camp Lo to U-N-I to Kardinal Offishall to The Kickdrums to Talib Kweli and many many more.  Here’s a leak to hold you til Wed… from the legendary Phife of ATCQ! Check next monday for a release of the Le Da Soul tee!

Chris Brown was the heir apparent to the MJ throne amongst the new jacks. We think the “Wall to wall” singer would've killed “Thriller”. 

Justin credits Michael as one of his icons. I would have liked to see him perform either something like “Rock with you” or “She's out of my life”.

Usher's versatility would've allowed him his pick of MJ classics. I would've liked to see his take on “Man in the mirror” or “Don't stop til you get enough”. 

Pharrell would've done a great job with “Bad” or even “Remember the Time” in our opinion.

Anyone who's seen You got Served knows that Omarion can dance. An up tempo MJ cut like “Pretty Young Thing” or “The way you make me feel” would've been dope.

And couldn't Alien Ant Farm come out and do Smooth Criminal for old time's sake???

We've been discussing who the real innovators left now in the game were and Kanye's name has come up more than any as the person who we feel our future kids could get into from our generation. He would've done a great job with “Beat it” or “Want to be starting something”.

So there you have our list (in no particular order). We understand that BET only had 3 days in which to reformat their entire show, but had they just a little longer, we believe these would be the performances setting Tivo, Youtube and blogs ablaze.
