Del – I Wish My Brother George Was Here Hoodie

Description

Before the Hieroglyphics empire. Before Deltron. Before any of it — there was Del coming through with a debut so cracked-out and so funky it still doesn’t sound like anything else 35 years later.

1991. Del The Funky Homosapien was 18 years old, signed to Elektra with his cousin Ice Cube executive-producing and the Bomb Squad-affiliated heavyweights of Da Lench Mob handling most of the boards. The album cover was Del leaning over a sleeping George Bush Sr. — a fever-dream of George Clinton funk samples, cartoon flows, and West Coast underground attitude before the West Coast underground had a name.

“Mistadobalina.” “Dr. Bombay.” “Pissin’ on Your Steps.” This is the record that pulled Parliament-Funkadelic into the boom bap conversation and let an Oakland teenager out-weird every East Coast purist in the room. The blueprint for everything Hieroglyphics, everything Souls of Mischief, everything that came out of the Bay’s underground for the next two decades.
