De La Soul - "Buddy" (1989)

[B-Boy]

The third single from their album 3 Feet High And Rising. The original album version features The Jungle Brothers and Q-Tip. The remix known as The Native Tongue Decision features additional apperances from Queen Latifah, Monie Love, and Phife Dawg (on the 12" version). It samples Tanaa Gardner's "Heartbeat" and inspired Musiq Soulchild's hit "B.U.D.D.Y." It peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart in 1990. Not as successful as "Me Myself & I", but it's just as enjoyable.

Here's the video:

The native tongues version with the "Heartbeat" sample break is the best version of this song.  Used to occasionally hear it as an old school cut on WGCI back in my younger days.
