All De La Soul Albums Now on Streaming!

[T.he I.nformant]

I've had De La's catalogue on my Apple Music cloud since they gave it out for free back in 2014 but I think I'ma take em off (sans the songs that got changed due to samples) to support em.

Do you know which songs got changed?

Beautiful day for hip-hop to have De La on streaming

So is this chick on Buhloone Mindstate songs like an unofficial member of De La?

 

[Apollo Kid]

Listening to Bionix in what feels like forever. Hearing Dave on Trying People got me

Do you know which songs got changed?

Three Is The Magic Number and Cool Breeze on The Rocks had minor changes, but they said in an NY Times articles there's some subtle stuff throughout everything

It's great to see people coming together and celebrating De La's catalog like this. I think a lot of people who never listened to them will get put onto them now.

But it kinda depresses me that so many people missed out on such great music just because it wasn't on Spotify or Apple Music. De La's music is far from the only classics in hip hop that aren't on streaming. They're probably the highest profile but there's less celebrated music that I feel is getting lost to time due to not being on streaming, and probably won't ever go up on streaming.

If there is an album I want to listen to that isn't on streaming, I'll upload a copy to my Apple cloud if I own the physical, and if not I'll download it on Soulseek. But I know most people don't wanna jump through those hoops just to listen to an album, and I get it. I'm the type of psycho that will upload the OG version of DOOM's Kookies cause the mfs changed the beat on the streaming version.

But it's a damn shame there's good music out there people are missing out on.

I mean...damn near the entire 2000s mixtape run is lost to time.

Thank God for Archive and Youtube, because its a shame how much the youngins missed on a time of such spittage .That moment when you went up to Ocky and he hits you up with the 4 for 20 mixtape deal.

DJ Clue, Green Lantern, Kay Slay, and em ....whew

It’s a shame. Feels like history being altered. I preordered 3 Feet to support but I felt nervous doing so not knowing if all samples got cleared. Hope the spirit is still intact and the minor stuff isn’t too noticeable.

I had to finally give up Spotify because I couldn't stand listening to the butchered version of Big KRIT's tapes. Apple Music w/ Cloud has held me down.

Spotify is known for butchering hip hop albums because , yet will promote the fukking daylights out of some no named lean drill rapper. Amazon Music no sloth either since they have the complete Styles P "Ghost in the Shell" mixtape.

So is this chick on Buhloone Mindstate songs like an unofficial member of De La?
