Our Take

De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising" is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece that has stood the test of time, much like a vintage coat you find at a charity shop that somehow becomes your statement piece. This "Green Version" of the album is like taking a nostalgic trip back to the '80s, but without the dodgy hairdos and regrettable fashion choices.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to a world where samples reign supreme, and humour is just as important as the beats. The skits and interludes add a playful touch to the album, making it feel like you're hanging out with your coolest mates who just happen to be incredible musicians.

Tracks like "Me Myself and I" and "The Magic Number" are infectiously catchy, with their clever lyrics and irresistible grooves. The production is impeccable, with funky basslines and soulful melodies that make you want to dance like nobody's watching.

De La Soul's unique blend of hip-hop, funk, and psychedelia is a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes take itself too seriously. This album is a reminder that music should be fun, experimental, and above all, enjoyable. So grab your headphones, press play, and let De La Soul take you on a trip that you won't soon forget. Cheers, lads!
