Description

The album title came from the Johnny Cash song Five Feet High and Rising. It is listed on Rolling Stones 200 Essential Rock Records and The Sources 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held its annual Jazz amp Pop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked 1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stones The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Souls 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 of their declaration of the D.A.I.S.Y. Age Da. Inner. Soul. Yall. Sampling artists as diverse as Hall amp 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.An absolutely essential slice of Hip Hop history thats been unavailable for some time. De La Soul Cassette is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £40 +P&P

Cassette

A cassette tape is a nostalgic format that continues to hold a special place in music culture. Known for its warm, analogue sound and compact design, cassettes offer a unique listening experience that many audiophiles cherish. Their physical nature and simple playback process—complete with the iconic “tape hiss”—add a layer of authenticity that digital formats can’t replicate.

Cassette tapes also evoke a sense of nostalgia, bringing back memories of mixtapes, car rides, and the early days of music discovery. Collecting cassettes allows music enthusiasts to connect with the past while embracing the charm of a format that was once central to the music industry. Whether you’re seeking vintage classics or exploring modern releases on tape, cassettes remain a beloved part of music history.
