Are You In?


De La Soul is one of hip-hop's most legendary groups not only because they have produced classics such as De La Soul Is Dead and 3 Feet High and Rising but they have also managed to stay together for two decades now. As a result, they are still putting out music and recently they teamed up with Nike for one of their workout releases. It's no secret that hip-hop makes for good workout/inspirational music. Just ask Michael Phelps what he listened to before he swam in the Olympics and he will tell you Weezy. Coincidentally, ask Phelps what he listens to when he lights up and he will probably have the same answer. 

But if you listen to Are You In? while on the Phelps offseason workout plan you may start to feel a little lazy. While not flush with workout references, there are a few instances that may leave fans of De La Soul wondering why they are talking about running so much. And with this being untracked, unless you feel like fast forwarding you will have to deal with it.
