Their first album will forever mean alot to me. For a number of reasons. Plug 2s passing got to me. For me the three MCs who's passing hurt the most were Pun, Phife, and Plug 2. RIP🙏
Yeah this one is hitting me hard. I’ve probably listened to more De La than any other HipHop artist/s because they rarely cursed and I grew up in a Christian house and couldn’t play much other stuff… This one hurts!
@@machenwa6934 No, I feel you. Dayum, I basically grew up with De La since the late 80's. What can we say about Dave ? Oodles of O's just took me to a fantastic place when it came out.
They were just "De La Soul" 🪐 I'm 40 and they've always been in part of my playlist anyday anytime. Through life charging chapters. RIP Dave...You had the soul sauce...Legend🏌🏿♂️
De La Soul and the other artists associated with the “Native Tongue Family” were a phenomenon that changed hip hop in a positive way. Less about ego and more about the music itself. RIP Trugoy and thank you for the positive vibes.
I am from BABY‐London and I remember De La soul. KROSS KOLOURS. short suits ,Click,,,suits. Arrested Development....Bere positive vibes.... SOUL 2 SOUL.... Keep On Moving don't Stop BACK 2 LIFE BACK TO REALITY... gonna bang them old tunes in my buds
I remember when "3 Feet High And Rising" was released. The album was flashy and stood out. So, I decided to buy it and listen to it without knowing what I was going to get. I wasn't feeling the album at first. They didn't sound like Rakim. They didn't sound like Public Enemy. They didn't sound like LL, KRS One, or NWA. They had a somewhat different rap style and they used the kind of samples producers and DJs don't normally use. But over time, I found myself listening to that album over and over again from start to finish. To me, "3 Feet High And Rising" seemed like a noticeable turning point in Hip Hop music which ushered in a new sound and influenced new artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Latifah, Monie Love, and Gang Starr. That album was a masterpiece. I've been a big fan of De La Soul ever since and is glad to finally be able to stream their older music on a regular basis. RIP Trugoy my brotha.😞
I first heard both Magic Number and (Tribes') Bonita Applebum the summer before first year of college at someone's basement party! I actually begged and harassed the DJ to play both songs again 3x's! It felt like Hip Hop was on the cusp of rising to higher heights creative genius. What a summer that was! But later that Fall........... De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Brand Nubian, Monie Love, et al were the soundtrack of my college years among my circle of friends. They were the soundtrack of my life. This is the soundtrack of my Life. RIP Trugoy
Their sounds came from their environment. Anyone that takes a trip out to where they live Long Island.. quite, peaceful working folks... it ain't the same at all- bunched up clusterfu*k living in the project's... it's a big difference in upbringing, anxieties and thoughts... survival instincts - competition- on high in project's- it's why so many different styles of hip hop came out of New York... the variety of neighborhoods.
Ive seen this on much music in Canada. I think it was part of "Looking for the perfect beat" which was a doc that touched on more dance oriented stuff (not rock).
Been listening to here in after from anonymous nobody since Dave passed. Just damn. We are the same age. I heard them first In 1989 at a long beach state dance. Me myself and I changed my hip hop mind. Purchased every album since. Literally. Godspeed Dave and prayers up to Pos& maseo. This one was tough. Enjoy this life. You never know the time or date. 🙏🏾
Same here. I first heard both Me Myself and I and (Tribes') Bonita Applebum the summer before first year of college at someone's basement party!

@@castopoe Take another listen to “Straight Out the Jungle” LP. HipHop pioneer Kool DJ Red Alert oversaw that album with a young Q-Tip involved too. They had a house flair but I’d still say they were true HipHoppaz from the Ol Skool.

@Manga Dolo not taking anything from jungle. I gots all the native tongue. Tribe DVD and all tht. I'm probably little older than u cats so I was in them clubs.. pos/dove was more lyrical. I will stand by tht statement 💯
Tru G, watching these tributes got me super sad. I always had love for you Bro. You was a strong one, and a genuine soul. It was a pleasure to know you and grace palms with each other. You let me rock the stage with you, while you performed your first album release. You told me I was a dope rapper, and I had a special talent in music. It gave me a lot of courage, and motivation when we were young back in 1989. I am still searching for the television appearance with you, me, and all of De La Soul. Rest In Power King! 😔🙏🏼
That sampling machine is so dinosaur now... lol But love the evolution all the same. It really shows how creative producers can be in the most limited ways. Flowers to De La Soul 👊🏿💐
Imagine being able to listen to all your favourite producers music that never met the light of day for legal reasons. Imagine the music they DIDN'T even make for worry of legal problems
I was in elementary school when this era went down and I really hated gangsta rap and found it horribly obnoxious. It was also by far the trendiest music at the time so it was all I knew and associated with rap. But I was shown these guys about a decade after 3ft high came out and it completely changed my mind about hip hop. I’ve always made a concerted effort to differentiate between rap and hip hop when it came to de la, native tongues, and all those inspired by them. I went from hating rap to consuming all the hip hop I could find. Even now I don’t hate rap but I still only respect the rappers who respect hip hop. Which to me is more about the construction of a classic than just the bars, which ofc are their own art form, but mean little outside the confines of good production. Even now I don’t care to listen to NWA, etc but I still respect it as a raw form of hip hop. But native tongues is where the classics started as far as I’m concerned. Midnight marauders still the greatest hip hop album in my book, alongside a couple dozen others from 91-94. Golden era will be missed. And it’s very sad how de la’s arc went down when you look at how much money some of even the most terrible rap artists make today.
I had the EXACT same experience in reverse, Nirvana got me into loving Heavy Metal which I hated for the very reasons you stated for hated rap. I went down a rabbit hole that has led me to further genres I couldn't have imagine. What De La did for you, Nirvana did for me.
@My Celly Weighs a Ton - Wow I never knew about that record deal offer. Interesting… I’m curious, do you know exactly who did the beats on each individual De La song? I’m just curious because I’m a beat maker and I’m into liner notes etc… I know Maseo did “Me, Myself and I” for sure and I assume Paul did a good number of them but I’m just curious about this stuff. Paul is maaaad underrated- especially when you account for his Gravediggaz stuff and how he actually assembled and named that group- not RZA as many think- no disrespect to RZA of course. It’s just impressive that Paul dis most of the Gravediggaz beats in addition to his De La and Stetsasonic stuff. #RIPDonNewkirk as well!
@@juniorjames7076 - I’m curious, I’m a big Foo Fighters fan. I’m more of a HipHop head but I do like some rock (Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, Chili Peppers..) can you recommend some other rock bands I’m surely missing out on? I’m having trouble finding good rock since Foo came out. I liked Portishead and Esthero and Beck and Gorrilaz but not sure if they’re classified as rock. 🤔 KT Tunstall is cool but I like a more hardcore sound.
@My Celly Weighs a Ton - Dope! Yes I cop’d the Redux for sure… Have you heard his “Horror City” productions? Paul is definitely a genius. I met him in Solana Beach once and Costa Mesa too.
@@silence3916 As a young kid I decided that I hated A) country music because I thought it was racist and dumb and B) rap music because I thought it represented anarchy and didn't like the gang aspect. De La Soul was just fun music, and Arrested Development effectively communicated a different perspective to my cracker ass that I had not appreciated prior to that point in time. I turn on country and rap (as well as lots of other kinds of music) these days.
How can it be better.... takes a nation..... straight outta....3 feet high....... nothing can compare.... that was the absolute pinnacle... everything else falls under those 3 albums,those 3 artist's......

You can make the argument that De La sparked the whole Neo-Soul era
And Doom.....Gift of Gab as well
U took the words out mouth. All of them! Pun, Phife, Plug2! Those 3 Def hurt the most!
i feel your text
like you talking to me face to face
🙏 RIP to Trugoy the Dove.
Everybody loves De La Soul. They are American hip hop pioneers. Change my mind....
One is of Haitian descent not saying that's a negative just adding more light to his shine...they are an American rap group with one member from Ayiti
