Late 80s/early 90s (maybe). It contained the refrain

"Mr dopalinous, Mr Bob dopalinous"

I think my spelling of the surname is wrong so I'm not getting anything from google. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Off his "i wish my brother george was here" album. Pretty much the birth of Cali backpack rap.

Del is Ice Cube's cousin.

I liked Del's second album "no need for alarm" best.

"Wrong place" was my cut.

Del is Cube's cousin? No shit. Not that he needed anything to make him cooler, but that just did. Word.

And Cube went to architecture school in Arizona...while he was in NWA!

(he's absence is why they introduced MC Ren as a replacement rapper and D.O.C. as a replacement writer)

And "Mr. Dobalina, Mr. Bob Dobalina" is a line from The Monkees song "Zilch." I was so baffled when it turned up in a rap track.

The Monkees? I'd always wondered where it came from.

he's absence is why they introduced

I swear English is my first language...

Yep, Monkees. Not "song," spoken-word zaniness,

Zilch!
