I see lot of people shyt on Kendrick Lamar Masterpiece To Pimp A Butterfly because of his accolades in the music industry by those who y'all say it cac music critics and publications
But y'all are hypocrties because when De La Soul dropped their genre changing masterpiece they received the same musical praises from the very same people.
3ft High and Rising was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
It is listed on Rolling Stones' 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums (both of which are unordered). When Village Voice held its annual Pazz & JopCritics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Risingwas ranked at #1, outdistancing its nearest opponent (Neil Young's Freedom) by 21 votes and 260 points. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and I". Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a "hippie" group, based on their declaration of the "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" (da inner sound, y'all). Sampling artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap).[20]
"An inevitable development in the class history of rap, [De La Soul is] new wave to Public Enemy's punk," wrote critic Robert Christgau in his Village Voice review of 3 Feet High and Rising
It was ranked 7 in Spin's "100 Greatest Albums, 1985–2005", ranked 88th in a 2005 survey held by British television's Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. In 2003, the album was ranked number 346 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2006, Q magazineplaced the album at #20 in its list of "40 Best Albums of the '80s".[21] In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at #9 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s".[22] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die
So again tell me again how you shyt on TPAB for its praises and not 3ft High and Rising
