"Ego Trippin' (Part Two)" is the second single from De La Soul's "Buhloone Mindstate", released in 1994. The song (and its music video) were a scathing parody on gangsta rap, complete with "hardcore" screaming. The video caught the attention of rappers such as Ice Cube, and Tupac Shakur, who unfortunately took exception to the images of a rapper splashing around in a pool, rather similar to Shakur's own video for his song "I Get Around". The song features vocal contributions from Philadelphia rapper Shorty No Mas, who also appeared in the video.

The screaming heard in the intro and outro of the album mix of "Ego Trippin' (Part Two)" is missing from the "Original Version" on the single.

The cover artwork is a tribute to the hip-hop concert flyers of the late 70's and early 80's.

The song never had a "Part One". The "Part Two" in the title is a reference to Ultramagnetic MC's "Ego Trippin'".
