DAY 731
De La Soul - Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa
From "De La Soul is Dead"
Year: 1991



My 10th choice from De La Soul, and far from my last one. I enjoy a very large percentage of the group's output.

The title may sound funny, but there's a sad, intense, spine-tingling story within the lyrics. This is hip hop brilliance right here.

I heard "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa" long before I heard Funkadelic's "I'll Stay", which is the primary sample used in the track. "I'll Stay" was my 101st choice from this blog.
