De La Soul’s Three Feet High and Rising is a very personal and important album to us – in fact anyone coming of age in the mid to late 80s should have a special place in their heart for this music they created back in 1989. It was fun, it was creative and groundbreaking, it was everywhere. But unlike Paul’s Boutique, It Takes a Nation of Millions or Low End Theory, Three Feet High and Rising was lost to time. It did not stay in the public consciousness to be rediscovered by later generations as the albums have been out of print and unavailable for streaming, and this is one of the tragedies for a group that was so amazing and influential. We have wanted to talk about this album since the very beginning of Three on the Ones and Twos, but there was always another that somehow took precedent. Then we heard the catalogue was coming back into print and would be available for streaming, and we got really excited again. But sadly Trugoy the Dove (Plug Two) did not get his victory lap, passing away less than three weeks before these albums were given a new life. Every person between the ages of 45 to 55 who grew up on these albums revisited a part of their childhood on that weekend of March 3rd, and we wanted to celebrate this album and a group that meant so much to all of us. Enjoy the episode!
