Art Official Intelligence Vol.1: Mosaic Thump - De La Soul

The thing I don't really like about this album is the fact ther is some strange talking in between the tracks and it seems to put you off. I think that this album is a good statement for rapping as it doesn't have much swearin (the odd word each song) and i think people rate rap as black people swearing. However this album is soft rap and i think R'n'B fans would like it too. The great tracks on this album include ooh ooh and all good also made into a garage tune. ...

New York who decided that rap needn’t be confrontational or self-obsessed or inaccessible to most people. They were rappers Posdnous, Trugoy and their DJ and crate-digger Mace. Together they were De La Soul and they transformed people’s perception of the whole rap culture. So what s Three Feet High And Rising? Well, it rap music s first concept album with the common denominator, the thread, being built around a fictional gameshow with ridiculously easy questions that remain largely unanswered. I ve always thought that this aspect of the album was having a bit of a dig at those rappers who are quick to use expletives instead of a witty put-down. And 23 tracks later, ...

Their track 'Transmitting Live From Mars', sampled a song by 'The Turtles'. This resulted in a successful legal action being mounted, and as a result, a hefty chunk of the album's royalties were taken away from the band and their record company. Bearing in mind the track itself was less than a minute long, it seems a harsh price to pay, especially as the process for clearing samples nowadays is much simpler than it was back then.
