Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. Born in Oakland, California, the American underground hip hop MC Del tha Funkee Homosapien is the cousin of seminal west coast rapper Ice Cube, and began his career writing lyrics for Ice Cube's group, Da Lench Mob. In 1991, with the help of Ice Cube (also as executive producer), Del released his debut solo album I Wish My Brother George Was Here at the age of 18. The album was a commercial success largely due to the popularity of the hit single 'Mistadobalina'. The title I Wish My Brother George Was Here is a reference to George Clinton, whose music was an influence on Del, as well as to the late pianist Liberace who would on occasion openly pine for his brother George to appear on Liberace's television program in the mid-50s. Review: You gotta love Del. This is Del’s debut album and doesn’t ... - Mistadobalina, mista Bob dobalina!!! You gotta love Del. This is Del’s debut album and doesn’t disappoint. It was a staple of the early 90s skateboarding scene and still holds up today. I’m not the best at music reviews, but I dig this album. Partly because of sentimental reasons, partly because it’s the jam. Either way, take a listen to a few tracks and see if you like it. I do, so there. Review: Del is Dope a must've for all Hip Hop fans. - Classic. Del is Ice Cube's cousin as well all know by now. Dope beats and Dope rhymes. A must've for all Hip Hop fans.

Mistadobalina, mista Bob dobalina!!! You gotta love Del. This is Del’s debut album and doesn’t disappoint. It was a staple of the early 90s skateboarding scene and still holds up today. I’m not the best at music reviews, but I dig this album. Partly because of sentimental reasons, partly because it’s the jam. Either way, take a listen to a few tracks and see if you like it.

Growing Pains
Let's get one thing straight--"I Wish My Brother George Was Here" is a very good album by arguably the best talent in hip hop, and I'd recommend it to most people. That said, this is far from the best work that Del has ever done, and it probably needs to be recognized as such. There's no doubt in my mind that the funk infusion that permeates the CD is an asset to it, but unfortunately the production of the album leaves Del's vocals floating somewhere in the middle of the finished product, rather than out in front where they belong. One of Del's greatest assets as a performer is his flow, and he sounds noticeably cut off and awkward at several points throughout this disc, and his normally amazing vocabulary remains somewhat pedestrian and unremarkable. While it's still a wonderful example of old-school hip hop transitioning into the nineties, as far as Del albums go, you can find better performances.

Funkyyyyyyyyyyyy！！！
ハイエロ軍団の総大将、Del The Funkee Homosapienの９１年に生み出された１作目にして、まちがいなく彼の最高傑作！ 西海岸アングラを代表するClassic作品の１つ、さすがトラック制作にIce Cubeが絡んでるだけあってか、後に出てくるハイエロっぽさは殆ど皆無に等しく、荒々しく加工されたP-FUNKネタのオンパレード、この頃のIce Cubeの音をさらにLOWにファンキーに捻じ曲げたかのような、癖のある如何にもニュースクールらしいギラギラと鳴り響く骨太なウェッサイ・ファンクを存分に楽しませてくれる内容、さすがこの時代の西の音は個性的かつ硬派で渋い！ 後の時代に大量量産されてゆく、軟弱にセルアウトされた聴き易さだけが売りの有り触れたショボいウエストコースト・サウンドとは雲泥の違いのセンスの良さ、今作ではそんな古き良き時代の西の音の中でも特に癖の強い部類に入るであろう、道化のように捻り狂った荒々しいFunk Grooveを楽しむことができる、個人的には後のハイエロっぽい音より、こういった類のウェッサイらしいファンク・ビートのほうが断然好み、シングルの（2）Mistadobalina （9）Dr.Bombayや（1） （4） （5） （6） （10） （11） （12） などを中心に全曲すべてがClassicな仕上がり、捨て曲なんてつまらんもんは皆無、西好きなら絶対に外せない名盤中の名盤！

Indispensável
Se curte hip hop/rap classico esse é um disco indispensável na discoteca. Del gravou esse disco com 17 anos e marcou o nascimento de um estilo.
