Our Take
Our Take
De La Soul's sophomore album, "De La Soul Is Dead," is a nostalgic journey through the unconventional minds of Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo. The clear cassette reissue adds a shiny new layer to this classic hip-hop gem.
From the opening track, "Oodles of O's," it's clear that De La Soul aren't afraid to push the boundaries of traditional rap. Their quirky lyrics and eclectic beats create a unique sound that sets them apart from their peers. Tracks like "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays'" and "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" showcase the group's playful energy and catchy hooks.
But don't be fooled by the fun-loving vibe of these songs. "De La Soul Is Dead" delves into deeper themes of self-reflection and societal critique. The skits scattered throughout the album add an extra layer of storytelling, making the listening experience feel like a journey through the group's twisted minds.
Overall, "De La Soul Is Dead" is a must-listen for any hip-hop fan looking to expand their musical horizons. With its clear cassette reissue, this album feels like a blast from the past with a modern twist. De La Soul may be dead, but their music lives on in this timeless classic.
