Todd and I were listening to the Gorillaz CD the other day and we were both trying to figure out who the rapper was. His voice sounded really familiar. Could it be because he's Ice Cube's cousin, Del Tha Funky Homosapien? A completely useless tidbit o' knowledge, but it had been driving us crazy!
Del's got a few side projects, one of my favorites is Hieroglyphics. The version of "19-2000" they're playing on the radio is the "Soulchild Remix," I don't think that version is included on the album.

Cool -- I'll go look for that version. Thanks!

Someone once told me it was the lead singer of Blur... Maybe? Compare voices to Blur's "Song 2" (woo-hoo!) and tell me what you think!

Yep, the singer is the lead singer of Blur! :-) The rapper is Del Tha Funky Homosapien -- that's the one that was throwing us off.
