 3 Feet High and Rising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the exception of "Do As De La Does", there is no profanity on the album, in stark contrast to most hip hop albums from the time period.
It mainly featured B side tracks, alternate versions of album tracks and skits that would later impact other De La Soul albums.
De La Soul in collaboration with Nike Skateboarding created two SB Dunks (one low, one high) based on the 3 Feet High and Rising album cover.

De La Soul is Dead (1991) was just as creative in its follow-up response, as the group used the album to refuse being pigeonholed into any one style or image.
De La Soul is in the unique position of having influenced a generation of hip-hop artists with truly original albums like Three Feet High & Rising and De La Soul Is Dead, and still continuing to resonate with contemporary fans with more recent albums like Stakes Is High and Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump.
Together, the yin-and-yang pair of albums was a marvel in sampling originality and lyrical complexity.

 De La Soul Mp3 Albums Review
De La Soul is one of the most unique groups that ever performed, and had one of the most important albums period.
De La Soul's third album renounces the pop crossover, mocking wit, and conceptual sprawl of their earlier work in favor of a relaxed, sober set of individual tracks.
De La Soul burned out on their own hype fast, and their dark, strange second album is a counter-blast to their image and hip-hop culture: perverse, dissatisfied, sometimes brilliant, sometimes out of control.

 Ottawa XPress - Music - Spin - The Grind Date - De La Soul
De La Soul are three young talented man and I have been hearing many wonderful review for their new album titled "The Grind Date" which is taking the world by storm as we speak and putting De La Soul back on the hip hop map.
The beats are tight and the lyrics are witty enough for the proverbial De La intellectual fan and straight enough for he common man to understand.
Thankfully moving away from whatever it was they were up to on AOI: Bionix, their last full-length, the Strong Island natives create an album for 2004 that manages to sound both current and representative of their own sound, a distinctive voice that goes back almost as far as the genre itself.

 IGN: The Grind Date Review
From the beginning chant about De La being the past, present and future, to the abrasive final track (which slams into the end of the disc like the end of a life), the main point of the album seems to be confirming the group's place in rap history.
And going out, after De La ended its last record (and has concluded a few of its albums previously) with its most compelling and stirring track yet in "Trying People", the snarling "Rock Co.Kane Flow" turning off this album is a slug of fearsome caliber.
What's surprising (and possibly disappointing) is that this isn't a record voicing "hippie" concepts of peace and love and brotherhood, as even recent followers might expect from a group like De La, nor is it a call to rise up and reclaim the fallen world...

 De La Soul: Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump - PopMatters Music Review
De La meant Art Official Intelligence to be one three-disc album, but their label got them to stretch it into three separate releases.
The chorus to a song on De La Soul's new album, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump is a great summary of what could be their credo: "You can do whatever you want, whatever you like, it's your own life." They've always been staunch individualists, doing whatever they like despite trends or fads.
The majority of the songs are either feel-good party jams and playful tracks about love or energetic hip-hop anthems built to showcase the talents of Plugs One, Two and Three, Posdnuos, Dave (formerly Trugoy) and Maseo, and their friends.

 De La Soul :: AOI * Bionix :: Tommy Boy
Ultimately this album is just plain confusing - at times it comes off like what could have been De La's greatest LP to date, and at times it sounds like a collection of leftover studio tracks thrown together for an album.
The biggest shame is that it relegates the great De La Soul to "just another new album" instead of a must-have rap purchase.
Some of De La Soul's best work to date is included on this album, and Dove a.k.a.

 De La Soul: De La Soul Is Dead ---Ink Blot Magazine
But while exasperation following a blockbuster debut success isn't that rare, the creativity that De La found in that bitterness certainly is. By constructing a theme in which three fans listen to the album and level criticism against it throughout, De La exhibit extraordinary foresight by actually pre-empting their critics.
The ignorant, shortsighted commentary by the fictional listeners serves as the perfect complement to the densely laced verbal javelins of Pos and Dove.
Though the album received a surprising popular response, the group somewhat resented the bohemian label spawned from Three Feet and moved toward heavier content and an even quirkier, more off-beat take on topics like the music industry, hangers-on and lawyers for its second LP, De La Soul is Dead, in 1991.

 De La Soul: The Grind Date: Pitchfork Review
The title track serves as the album's centerpiece as Pos and Dave command the mic with authority and finesse.
The triumvirate averages three years between albums-- stemming and refitting their dark horse costumes is hardly an overnight project-- but the results are frequently worth the wait, and The Grind Date is the group's best payoff in ages.
The third installment of the Art Official Intelligence series was envisioned as a DJ album before Tommy Boy canned it.

 The Grind Date by De La Soul CD
THE GRIND DATE marks De La's departure from the Tommy Boy imprint on which they began, and, as chronicled by the title track, the break was anything but amicable.
Both mentally engaging and musically inventive, De La has a track record that few acts can match.
Hip-hop fans can always count on De La Soul; the Long Island trio never released a truly weak record, after exploding out of the box with their groundbreaking 1989 debut, 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING.

 SALON: Music: De La Soul
The New York Times labeled them the "hands down champs of thinking person's rap," and the album was bought by millions of collegiate first-time rap listeners and urban hipsters alike.
In 1988, their first album, "Three Feet High and Rising," became one of hip-hop's seminal works, and was one of the first to attract an appreciative white audience.
Largely self-produced, it's the first De La album not guided by the sure hands of old-school hip-hop legend Prince Paul.

 Eye - Still grinding - 03.17.05
A triumphant return to form, the record reaffirms De La Soul as one of the few hip-hop groups from their era still making relevant music.
Much like the rhyming on the preceding AOI efforts, De La Soul's lyrical approach on The Grind Date is upfront and lucid compared to the bugged-out abstract vocabulary the band revelled in when they began.
While they are still committed to delivering a DJ-focused third volume of the AOI series, Dave calls this album a back-to-basics approach of "just beats and rhymes."

 NPR : The Hippies of Hip-Hop: De La Soul
Fresh Air from WHYY, September 1, 2005 · Formed in 1985, three-man jazz-rap group De La Soul has been dubbed "the hippies of hip-hop." Their debut album Three Feet High and Rising was a critical success.
This year, they were featured on the new Gorillaz single Feel Good Inc. Their most recent album is 2004's The Grind Date.
Consisting of Kelvin Mercer, aka Pos, Posdnuos and Plug One; David Jude Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy, Trugoy the Dove and Plug Two; and Vincent Mason, aka Pasemaster Mase, Maseo and Plug Three, the male trio began recording at the same time as Queen Latifah, Monie Lov, and A Tribe Called Quest.

 CNN.com - De La Soul releases first of planned trilogy - August 22, 2000
And while De La Soul has always been more about mood and melody versus vitriolic rhymes, the band does play it hard at times.
The big question -- one, perhaps that should have been better thought out before the band committed to a trio of releases -- is whether De La Soul is relevant today.
Along with a handful of other East Coast bands -- A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, the Jungle Brothers and Monie Love -- De La Soul became part of the Native Tongues Posse.
