Posduos of De La Soul talked with MTVNews about the meaning behind the title of their new album Bionix. Personally, I know I'm better than what I was. Certain parts of my early years, creativity meant more than just sharp rhymes. You could just kinda disguise where you lacked by just putting something creative in pocket with a concept. On an MC level, I would rate myself like a seven, and I feel I can get better.

That's why we subtitled this particular album Bionix — we're trying to play off the whole 'Six Million Dollar Man' joint. We're just trying to be bigger, better and faster than what we were doing. We're still pretty much in the same vein of what we were doing in the last album, but this album to me is better." The 12-year veterans have teamed up with Devin the Dude, Cypress Hill's B-Real, Goodie Mob's Cee-Lo, Slick Riclk, Latin singer Pariquo Fernandez and Dave West on the songs. They will go on the Spitkicker Tour starting October 19 in support of the new project.
