Our Take

De La Soul's "3 Feet High And Rising" is a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with playful lyrics, funky beats, and a healthy dose of eccentricity. Released in 1989, this album remains a timeless classic that has influenced countless artists in the hip-hop genre.

From the moment you hit play, you are transported to a world where creativity knows no bounds. Tracks like "Me, Myself and I" and "Eye Know" showcase the group's signature style, blending samples from a wide range of musical genres with their own unique flow.

But what truly sets this album apart is its sense of humour. Whether they're playfully riffing on the concept of love in "Buddy" or poking fun at themselves in "Potholes in My Lawn," De La Soul never takes themselves too seriously. It's this light-hearted approach that makes "3 Feet High And Rising" such a joy to listen to.

While the blue version of the album may not offer any significant differences from the original release, it's still worth picking up if you're a die-hard fan of the group. The packaging alone is a visual treat, with vibrant colours and whimsical illustrations that perfectly capture the spirit of the music within.

Overall, "3 Feet High And Rising" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music and a good laugh. De La Soul may have been ahead of their time with this album, but its charm and wit have only grown more endearing with age. So sit back, press play, and let the good vibes wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.
