3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio de la Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a success. It contains the singles, "Me Myself and I", "The Magic Number, " "Buddy, " and "Eye Know". The album title came from the Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High and Rising". It is listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held it's annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. 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. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as 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).

    So genannter Hippie-Hip-Hop. Einfach phantastisch was De la Soul mit 3 Feet High and rising geschaffen haben. Wie Ruedi schon sagte. Gehört zu den drei besten Hip Hop Alben überhaupt.

    ganz klar die beste - und wichtigste - von de la soul. wie epmd konnten sie ihre erste lp nie uebertrumpfen - das spricht allerdings ueberhaupt nicht gegen de la soul, schliesslich ist das eine der wichtigsten hip hop platten ueberhaupt...

  • ja!

    da kann ich der meinung unter mir nur zustimmen. das müssen die heutigen hiphopper auch noch kennen.
    ich kenne dann nur noch de la soul is dead. auf die kann man verzichten, aber nicht auf 3 feet high and rising.
