All De La Soul Albums Now on Streaming!

[Mike the Executioner]

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 never listened to De La, but I'm interested now that their music is on streaming. In the article @FunkDoc1112 mentioned, they said that "Cool Breeze on the Rocks" was changed. All the samples saying "rock" don't appear in the new version. It went from 50 seconds to 18 seconds, and you just hear scratching, then some game show.

"The Magic Number" apparently had an Eddie Murphy sample that was taken out.

I still have my CDs and CD singles .. all original from day one purchases

Shorty No Mas .... she wasnt in the group.. more like a person who was around and got on some songs... toured with them for a bit but it wasnt for her...

She had a classic song:

For what it's worth they worked with Prince Paul and De La Soul directly on replaying certain shyt and even recorded it all analog.

Crazy that my older uncles were playing dela but i only knew me myself and i and a few others but never did a full listen and i was alive in this era. Going to give it all an old head playthrough out of respect for the OGs

That’s worth a bit. Actually makes it all the more special especially with Trugoy’s passing. Feels like they were able to preserve part of their legacy before it was too late.

If you ever get to comparing and care to share your impressions on any differences you notice I’m all ears. I’m probably gonna buy one of two more to support regardless.

Smoked a fat one and listened to Buhloone Mindstate before going to sleep. It holds up, such an underrated album

It was the first album I went to this morning followed by Stakes is High

The thing about De La that made them so ahead of the time is the fact that every album compliments a era of hip hop and life in general.

• 3 Feet and Rising-Raising the feeling of peace and harmony within hip hop (Native tongue movement, dancing, etc...just the essentials of hip hop)
• De La Soul is Dead-Death of the peace and onto trying to find self in a gangsta rap era
• Buhloone Mindstate- Found the lane with friends to accept that times are a changing
• Stats is High- "Are people really going to accept me for me, I miss the days when it all made sense"
• Art Official Intelligence- Time to focus on the future...you never know what could happen...just keep doing you
• AOI Bionix- Lost in limbo with no SOS in sight because the headquarters are not even listening...
• The Grind Date-Times are bad, but the grind continues
• And the Anonymous Nobody-Here I am but do people see where I'm at or even care what I have been through...

It's like a downward spiral of greater time, lost time, self acceptance, feeling lost, and finding self to accept you can't change the past, but make way for the future...


God bless these kings

I've listened to all 3 albums and haven't noticed anything, different musically. They did a great job. Also the remastering is incredible, Stakes Is High (the song) sounds dope in a way I've never heard before, shyt is so clear.
