Further testament of DLS’s uncanny penchant for merging obscure samples w/ more familiar fare to craft instantly unforgettable undeniably irresistible tunes that stick with you driven by astute commentary unabashed sarcasm & a rousingly rhythmic groove.

Of course Ring Ring Ring is a great song but then you flip it to the b-side and it has one of the best flute things ever, highly recommend the Conley cut to everyone.

The Reverse Radio Decision is a censored version of the Radio Decision and I think is exclusive to this CD. The only difference is the line "I be like, 'hell yes'" at 1:51 was edited to play the "like, 'hell'" backwards. This attempt to censor the song fails because the "hell yes" sample has a delay echo effect which comes in a second later. The end result is that the line sounds like "what? yob. 'yell yes!'", which of course makes no sense.

The censorship is also rather ridiculous when you consider some of the other lyrics, though metaphorical, were not exactly radio-friendly in 1991 ("flaunt a nut" / "getting raped and giving birth to a tape").

I preferred this version by CJ Mackintosh to the Album Mix on De La Soul Is Dead.

I'm pretty sure I bought this the day it came out. I when that video premiered on Yo! MTV Raps, what a breath of fresh air it was... still sounds cool and mellow even when the weather is hot.

the single has a deliberate trailer. This you can use as a DJ or even eliminate a scratch. you have two options.
