(What's) The 411 from 3-Dee Booty - the debut album by 3-Dee, released in 2000.

2 Copies Sealed, later renamed 3-Dee, was a hip hop "booty rap" group comprised of members Nehi, Yoo-Hoo, Sundrop, M-Chaps, 4xMike. The last two members are better known on line as Matt and Mike Chapman (The Brothers Chaps), the creators of popular online Flash series Homestar Runner. These songs were made when they were in high school and/or college among a couple of friends. These songs would not be released until March 4, 2009 when they were added to the Thorax Corporation website on a secret page full of MP3 files. 3-Dee's music can occasionally be heard/referenced in various Homestar cartoons; All Star Rapper and (What's) the 411 were mentioned in the DVD commentary for rampage, while Poot-Slap has been used in The Luau, and 3-D Booty was referenced in Fish Eye Lens.

Curiously enough, the metadata on the original downloads suggests that at least 29 songs were made under the 3-Dee name; only 12 were released under the (now nonexistent) mp3s page of the Thorax Corporation website in 2009. The remaining 17 remain unreleased to this day.
