PrintDe La Soul Editorial Review
In Short
When De La Soul's debut "Three Feet High and Rising" hit shelves in 1989, it revolutionized the still-evolving genre of hip-hop. De La, along with their Native Tongue counterparts A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers and Black Sheep, proved that rap didn't just come from inner-city streets. Posdnous, Trugoy and Maseo weave deft lyrics and create layered tapestries of rhythm that appear worlds apart from hard-core stylings of KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane and other old-school rappers.
