Never really paid attention, to them. I was wrong.

Listened to :
3 feet and rising.
The anonymous nobody.

At least three time each. Over the last couple of months. Two albums I can go through with no problems.

I heard some of grinddate but not all it. Grind date song is my start workout song at the moment.


What should I listen to next??

De la Soul Is Dead, Buhloone Mindstate and Stakes Is High are MUST listens in any Hip Hop heads collection IMO. especially their first 3 albums, Prince Paul was a vital member in those albums. Stakes is still dope and they've never really put a step wrong but those first 3 :wow:

it was a sneaky sample cause the speed is different and they added the french speaking track. it got discovered after the album was already released

The Turtles vs De La Soul
The hip-hop group De La Soul’s 1989 song Transmitting Live from Mars sampled a brief segment from the Turtles’ You Showed Me, released two decades earlier, without securing the rights to use it. Former members of the Turtles sued De La Soul for $2.5 million and reportedly settled out of court for $1.7 million.

"Transmitting Live From Mars," by De La Soul (1989) vs. "You Showed Me," by the Turtles (written by Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark) (1969)

The Case: The hip-hop collective De La Soul built their masterpiece 3 Feet High and Rising from a vast library of samples spanning genres, languages and decades. At a time when sampling was relatively new (and relatively lawless), not all of the snippets received the proper clearance. Among these was a 12-second segment from the Turtles' 1969 song "You Showed Me," used on the interlude skit "Transmitting Live From Mars." Former Turtles Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman leveled a $2.5 million lawsuit at Prince Paul and company in 1991. "Sampling is just a longer term for theft," Volman told the L.A. Times. "Anybody who can honesty say sampling is some sort of creativity has never done anything creative." Ironically, the song was written by none of the Turtles, but instead by Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark of the Byrds.

The Verdict: The case was settled out of court, with Volman and Kaylan netting a sum reportedly as high as $1.7 million. De La Soul claim they never paid that much.

Why It Matters: Rap artists believed this ruling set a dangerous precedent that would bankrupt them due to licensing or legal fees and would ultimately destroy hip-hop. The case precipitated a steady decline in sampling as labels grappled with the financial and logistical headaches of ensuring all artists were properly paid and credited. Heavily sampled albums like 3 Feet High would likely be impossible to make today.

Is De La Soul’s Long Fight to Release Its Music Digitally Finally Over—or Just Beginning?

I’m going to do what they ask when they were on Drink Champs. They said don’t stream they shyt. I think De La were great so I’m supporting them.
