Chris Rock Says He Lives His “Mothaf**kin’ Life” By De La Soul’s “In The Woods”

Chris Rock is a huge fan of De La Soul. The 58-year-old revealed the specific lines in their record “In The Woods” that he has turned into a life mantra.

“My favorite De La album is Buhloone Mindstate,” the comedian said during the group’s D.A.I.S.Y Experience event. “To me, there’s two De La’s. There’s De La and De La with Prince Paul, and the Prince Paul records are just f**king better. They’re hysterical. They’re better than In Living Color, they’re better than The Chris Rock Show, they go toe-to-toe with Chappelle’s Show. Everything De La did with Prince Paul is just f**king amazing.”
