De La Soul
Members : This section is coming soon... Official site : www.tommyboy.com/dela/index.html Profile : One of my favourite rappers... de la soul, the rapper from New York city just rulz... De La Soul started out by releasing "plug Tunin" as a white label, the record attracted the attention of Tommy Boy records who snapped them up. The debut album "3 feet high and rising" was an amazing abstract piece of hippie-hop. Much of the crazyness was due to the prescence of Stetsasonic man and master producer Prince Paul. The group consists of Plug one: Posdnous (picture) Plug two: Trugoy the dove and DJ PA Mase (not to be confused with the no skill rapper at Bad Boy). The group are great performers and should not be missed when in town. De La released "De La Soul is dead" to the sound of people going "Eh? Ooooooh? Mmmmm!" it was a complete departure from the hippie ish style of the last album and sounded comparitively a bit hard. The album was another classic but less original, the stand out cut for me was "Keepin the faith" but everyone else in the world bought "Ring ring ring Hey hey hey" just so they could put it on thier answering machine. The third album "Buhloone mindstate" was not a complete failure but didnt deliver the same vibes as the other two. It was still better thatn most of the rest of the worlds effort. The latest album "Stakes is high" is great. It is the hardest album to date but remains happy about the good things in life. Tracks like "Stakes is high" and "Itsoweezee" stormed everybody and "4 more" stormed the R&B heads while the b-side "Sweet dreams" put Nas to shame and rocked the underground. De La will hopefully record another album in the near future despite some comments about giving up. They recently appeared with Q-Tip on the remix of the JBeez'"How you want it we got it". De la are a pretty positive oriented group despite the bullshit Trugoy chats on Camp Lo's album. If you don't have any De La....WA GWAN? Discography : --Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump
