De La Soul - De La Mix Tape: Remixes, Rarities & Classics (2004)
Groundbreaking trio De La Soul’s inimitable “verbal confetti” changed the face of hip-hop forever. Pulsing with razor-sharp wordplay and deftly turned rhymes, their revolutionary, neo-psychedelic sound introduced itself with the #1 1989 debut 3 Feet High And Rising and the #1 R&B/Top 40 phenomenon “Me, Myself, And I.” A harder-edged sound emerged on ’91’s De La Soul Is Dead , and De La’s brilliant artistry continued to evolve with album classics including Buhloone Mindstate (’93) and Stakes Is High (’96). This all-new career-spanning collection of “lost cuts” mines the flip-side of their crossover smashes, including sides from rare Tommy Boy singles, dope remixes, bonus tracks, promo-only specialties, previously unreleased gems, and more!
