| Song |
"Plug Tunin'" is a 1988 single by the influential hip hop trio De La Soul released as the second single from their album 3 Feet High and Rising.
Lyrically, the song is idiosyncratic; "Transistors are never more shown with like / When vocal flow brings it all down in ruin / Due to a clue of a naughty noise called Plug Tunin' (Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmmmm)", however, musically it laid the foundations for the sound the group would realise more fully with their debut album 3 Feet High and Rising. The album also included an updated, though no less ambiguous, version of the song.
The song is sampled on the Gravediggaz' "Defective Trip."
