"De la is here to stay like racism" that line really gives me chill. I love that their lyrics are simple but at the same time super deep. Rip Trugoy, you will be missed forever
Stakes Is High is a perfect hip-hop album to me, so that's my number 1. Battle between 3 Feet High and Buhloone for that 2nd place. I would have the first AOI a little higher but great ranking overall!
For me, it’s De La Soul Is Dead. I think it hits so hard for me because of the huge departure from the image the label tried to force on them and also how the songs AND skits were on point! Also like how you mentioned, Kicked Out The House, originally a parody song, is truly a banger, lol. That’s testament alone!
Honored to have the beats in this one thanks homie! Gotta agree on the grind date I think it’s still super slept on. Dope bars n beats no filler. R.I.p dave
My ranking (just solo albums) would be 1. 3 Feet High & Rising 2. The Grind Date 3. Stakes Is High 4. Buhloone Mindstate 5. De La Soul Is Dead 6. Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump 7. AOI: Bionix 8. and the Anonymous Nobody Yes I know I have a bit of nostalgia to the grind date since it was my full introduction to De La Soul.
This was a cool ranking...my favorite is De La Soul Is Dead👍🏾...one thing...I wanted to mention that Pete Rock produced In Memory Of Us. Keep up the dope work...salute!👊🏾👍🏾💯

I haven’t watched the full video but I just wanted to say you really gotta work on ur microphone presence, the timing is mostly fine but it just feels like ur reading a script
