DE LA SOUL - 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING **2LP YELLOW VINYL** DE LA SOUL
The album title came from the Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High and Rising". It is
listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap
Albums. When Village Voice held its annual Jazz & Pop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet
High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500
Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which
gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Soul's uniquely
positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and
I". Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a 'hippie' group, based on
their declaration of the 'D.A.I.S.Y. Age' (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall).
Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High
and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop
(and especially jazz rap).
An absolutely essential slice of Hip Hop history that’s been unavailable for some time.
