3 Feet High And Rising: Black Vinyl 2LP

3 Feet High and Rising is the first studio album of the hip - hop trio De La Soul, released on March 3, 1989. It was the start of three full - length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, reaching both critical and commercial heights. This successful album features hit singles like 'Me Myself and I', 'The Magic Number', 'Buddy', and 'Eye Know'. The album title was inspired by Johnny Cash's 'Five Feet High and Rising'. It's on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records, The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums, and Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 1989, it ranked #1 in Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Critics Poll. Amid the gangsta rap boom with hardcore lyrics, De La Soul's positive style set them apart, earning them the 'hippie' label. Sampling from artists like Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, and The Turtles, it's seen as the start of 1990s alternative hip - hop, especially jazz rap.
