Spider-Man: No Way Home closes with De La Soul’s “The Magic Number” from 3 Feet High and Rising. To Spidey fanatics dismay, De La Soul’s full catalog isn’t available on streaming platforms.
Spider-Man: No Way Home got a taste of De La Soul. And now some TikTok users are calling for the group to release their catalog on streaming platforms. Hip-hop heads can hear the 1989 De La Soul track “The Magic Number” during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
For some viewers — mostly Gen-Z Spidey fans — it was there first time hearing De La Soul’s classic ’80s jam. While new fans of “The Magic Number” took to streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to play the song, they were limited to only YouTube to hear the track. (Spoiler alert, “The Magic Number” is a clever nod to the three versions of Spider-Man that make an appearance in the film.)
