We Say...
If you only know Ice Cube's little cousin from his glorious fluke "Mistadobalina" or his Gorillaz guest toon-in', you've never quite heard Del in his element: floating casual, polysyllabic ridicule against trivial rivals who aren't "phat/ they're flabby" over funky electroburble (mostly self-produced). He kindly advises proper bodily hygiene ("or else you'll be fun-kee") on "If You Must," discusses his interests on "Proto Culture" (video games) and "BMs" (weed), and for added nerd cred, he drops a Battlestar Galactica namecheck from back before Cylons had boobs. As the man says, "Don't hate/ Felicitate."

They Say...
Both Sides of the Brain is Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's fourth album, on which Del makes an effort to show both sides of his personality. For example, on "Proto Culture," Del is joined by Khaos Unique, and the two rap about one of their favorite things -- video games. The listener also gets to see another side of Del on "Jaw Gymnastics," on which Del and Casual team up for a fierce battle rhyme. Throughout the album, Del does the same thing, covering topics from drunk driving and crack addicts to the importance of good hygiene. Besides Casual on "Jaw Gymnastics" and Khaos Unique on "Proto Culture," Del is also joined by El-P on "Offspring" and A-plus on "Stay on Your Toes." Del produced the majority of the album, and even though he hasn't produced much in the past, most of his beats are good. The listener can also hear Del's video game obsession in a lot of the songs he produced, as many contain samples from video games.
