De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising
Sound Opinions
The Golden Age of Hip Hop
Della Sol's "Three feet high and rising by Della Sol" was released in 1989. The album is a classic from the Golden Age of hip hop, says host Jim Morrison. But streaming versions aren't precisely like the original recordings because some samples still could not be cleared by it. Miller: There's a whole idea that sampling has been viewed as thrown into question.
Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot dissect De La Soul’s iconic debut 3 Feet High and Rising. They discuss the innovative sampling and rapping style, as well as the legal troubles that plagued the record for decades. They also pay tribute to the late De La Soul rapper Trugoy the Dove and hear from some listeners.
