"If You Must"
Song

"If You Must" is a 1999 song by the alternative hip hop artist Del the Funky Homosapien. The song has uncredited samples of "La Di Da Di" by Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh and "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown. The song is a comedic song describing a man with poor bodily hygiene, who always hangs around Del, and how Del resents this and all the stinky people he meets. It is a parody, not only of people with bad hygiene, but of contemporary rap video cliches, as the video involves Del rapping on a stage with special effects artists and producers who add in B-boys, laser light effects, smoke, and beautiful women, and constantly change his outfits.

From the album Both Sides of the Brain, the song was featured as part of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3's in-game soundtrack.
