De La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising

The most inventive, assured, and playful debut in hip-hop history, 3 Feet High and Rising not only proved that rappers didn't have to talk about the streets to succeed, but also expanded the palette of sampling material with a kaleidoscope of sounds and references culled from pop, soul, disco, and even country music. Weaving clever wordplay and deft rhymes across two dozen tracks loosely organized around a game-show theme, De La Soul broke down boundaries all over the LP, moving easily from the groovy my-philosophy intro "The Magic Number" to an intelligent, caring inner-city vignette named "Ghetto Thang" to the freewheeling end-of-innocence tale "Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin's Revenge).
Released in March 1989 on Tommy Boy/Warner Bros. Records, it was re-released in 2001 with a bonus disc. The album peaked at #24 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and was certified platinum by RIAA.
