 ... denounces the rap dream, showing the pitfalls that await anyone who tries to emulate Eazy-E or other, similar, rappers, who preached about guns, sex, and drugs. The subversive elements are rarely given a chance to show up, however - Three Feet High and Rising is more about style than anything else. This is the album, after all, which pretty much invented the art of "skits". For this, it is to be both commended and hated. While they're funny the first time you hear them, no rap album since seems to be able t...more

Crowned Review 3 Feet High And Rising: Expanded Edition - De La Soul: Feel Good, Inc (1119 words)

De La Soul don't swear very much, don't get angry in their music, and in most ways disagree with the gangster lifestyle. They sing about money, drugs, and women, same as all the other rappers at the time did... but they're far more personal. De La Soul don't really care if they're rich or not, are anti-drug, and the songs they have about women are all about male inadequacies and frustrations. In short, they're an anti-gangster trio. While their music has an upbeat tempo and generally sunny disposition, the two rappers (Posdnuos and Trugoy) take shots at several of the more subversive gangster stereotypes on this, their first album, Three Feet and Rising (yes, ...

In 1989 rap music was suffering a mini-crisis. It was running out of ideas. For five years rappers had bragged about themselves on record. Then along came NWA who singled-handedly invented gangsta rap with such karaoke favourites as F**k Tha Police, A Bitch Iz A Bitch and Dopeman that included lines such as: -a nigga like me is on the warpath -and when I’ve finished there’s gonna be a bloodbath -of cops dying in LA -yo Dre I’ve got something to say But for some, me included, this was taking rap music in the wrong direction. There needed to be something new, some fresh angle or take on rap music to counteract the aggressive and stale ...

Premium Review 3 Feet High And Rising: Expanded Edition - De La Soul: 3's The Magic Number (352 words)

De La Sol's '3 Feet High and Rising' is regarded as one of the classic Hip-Hop rap albums of all-time. Its release took hip-hop in another direction with its relaxed style, and sampled like not other band had sampled before. It sold remarkably well on both sides of the Atlantic, although it is only recently that the band have approached similar heights once again. When '3 Feet...' was created, Pos, Mace et al were all still teenagers, and each track was based upon a number of samples with (extremely laid-back) rapping layered on top. In fact, it was the sampling which got De La Sol into trouble. Their track 'Transmitting Live ...
