Much love to everyone who’s sampled it, spun it, rapped over it, or just vibed with it over the years. 🙏🏾
And to my brother for life @therulernyc, I appreciate you. Always. 🥂

40 years ago today, we dropped “La Di Da Di” & “The Show.” Didn’t know those two tracks would change our lives, or land among the top 5 most sampled records of all time. Brotherhood. Legacy. History. 💯

“La Di Da Di” has come so far! Never knew when Slick Rick & I created it that it would become the #1 most sampled hip hop song of all time or 1 of the top 5 most sampled songs in music history! Now it’s included by the Library of Congress in the National Recording Registry.
ICYMI: The Library's 2024 National Recording Registry inductee list dropped yesterday. It's kind of a big deal. usatoday.com/story/entertain…
