De La Soul Drops Video For "Oodles Of O's"

De La Soul has dropped the new video for their 1991 hit, "Oodles Of O's". Black Thought, Common, Questlove, Masta Ace, Ed Lover, and Tony Touch are amongst those in the video, which was filmed at De La's pop-up donut shoppe in New York earlier this summer. "Oodles Of O's" appeared on the groups 1991 sophomore album, De La Soul Is Dead, and although it was never a single, it remains a fan favorite.

The video contains archival footage of the late Trugoy The Dove explaining which song he would make a video for, if he was able to create a video for a song that didn't have one. "Man, I'd probably do a video for 'Oodles Of O's'," he said after contemplating for several seconds. "'Oodles Of O's' is one of my favorites, it's just got a vibe. Being here in New York, I feel that's a video that we could shoot in New York, it's got a dark gritty vibe to it."
