Our Take

De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising' is a whirlwind of sonic textures and lyrical acrobatics that showcases the group's unique approach to hip hop. From the iconic opening track "The Magic Number" to the infectious groove of "Me Myself and I", this album is a vibrant tapestry of sounds and styles that never fails to captivate.

With their playful wordplay and inventive sampling, De La Soul have crafted an album that feels like a breath of fresh air in the often stagnant world of 80s hip hop. Their willingness to experiment with different genres and push the boundaries of the genre set them apart from their peers, and '3 Feet High and Rising' is a testament to their fearless creativity.

Tracks like "Buddy" and "Eye Know" showcase the group's knack for catchy hooks and infectious beats, while songs like "Transmitting Live From Mars" and "Potholes in My Lawn" demonstrate their ability to tackle social issues with wit and intelligence.

Overall, '3 Feet High and Rising' is a timeless classic that continues to influence and inspire artists to this day. De La Soul's innovative approach to hip hop has left an indelible mark on the genre, and this album is a reminder of why they are considered one of the greatest groups in the history of rap music.
