R.I.P. Dave! Met Dave from De La Soul on my flight to Denver. Just an unbelievably nice and humble dude. Shocked and devastated at the news of his death.
I saw him outside of the Bluebird in Denver when I was pulling up in a taxi and they were jumping out of a Lincoln town car, I didn't say anything but it was a moment I will never forget... he just seemed mad chill and confident about life
Thank God for Prince Paul, he opened the door for the greatest rap group. Even if they're a hundred years old and still doing it, I'll still be listening to them.
De La Soul is one of the best hip hop groups around. They made it cool to be different and nerdy. This group should've received backpay for their hard work. RIP Trugoy🙏🏻
I was 20 years old when De La first dropped, and let me tell you, that everyone listened to them. See, back then you could be a nerd and love NWA and you could be a gangsta and love De La Soul, it was all about authentic self expression...which is sorely lacking today
Randy J you sound like me when I working at a record store TRYING TO SELL EVERYONE “CAMP LO” debut album! THAT SHIT WAS SO DOPE! But dudes in Warren, OH wasn’t havin’ it!
Dang! After watching this doc, it makes it even harder knowing that Dave is no longer with us. A lot of rappers like to call themselves "poets", but for Trugoy the Dove, such a title is certainly fitting and well deserved. Farewell Plug 2. You will be missed by every fan you've touched with your gift.
Jaz zo Old comment but i think they were nerdy if you put them in the context of what era they grew up then. You also have to think about today’s common fashion influence, a lot of our casual wear is inspired by nerd culture.
They were part of the many fashions from back then. Many of us dressed like that with the paisley shirts, girbaud jeans, Bennetton sweaters and fly shoes.
@@ericjordan6059 We dressed like De La Soul in 1991-93....but De La was dessing like that in 1988....they were about 4 years ahead of time. By 1992 De La moved on to more simplistic shit...just watch any video from De La Soul is Dead or Buhloon Mindstate eras....completely different
@@jerryteck6530 ... we were dressing like that during that time as well. I was in 11th grade in 88 and we were dancing to house music and dressing as such.
I remember stumbling upon Stakes Is High while I was finding music to listen to while I was doing homework and I instantly fell in love with it. Now after watching this documentary finding out the meaning behind it all and it's true value makes the album that much greater. Now it's time to listen to all the other great albums. DE LA FOREVER. THE STAKES IS HIGH!!
Prince Paul stated in an interview that he gave Tommy Boy all the details of the samples used on 3 Feet and then it was up to them to deal with it, so Silverman's story doesn't quite add up...
EPMD and De La were my favorite rap groups. De La gave me that extra something, that creativity that other rap groups didn't give me. De La Is Dead is my favorite album of theirs.
First time I heard De la soul was in 2003 when I was in grade 9. It was 3 feet high and rising. I remember listening to the album while I was waiting for the bus in minus 30 weather ( I live in Canada) to take me to my then minimum wage high school job. I'm turning 28 now and just wanna say thank you to De La soul for all the incredible music. Hope to see you live one day. Peace!
My Favorite Hip Hop group. Innovative with flow, lyrics, beats and their own style. What makes De La great is that with each album, they are constantly growing and pushing themselves and never resting on what got them here. Mad Respect for theses bruthas.
I kinda agree with Paul, "Stakes is High" is my favorite LP too (or maybe "Buhloon Mind State"). De La Soul, creativity personified. Prince Paul, you totally influenced my own productions, thank you! You made it OK to sample beyond the soul and jazz stacks.
I just wanna shake these dudes' hands. Since "Plug Tuning", I have been straight up inspired! Every single, every video, every album....De La Soul is so innovative and I love it!
was fortunate to be at a De La Soul concert in Liverpool in the day. Met the band in an arcade beforehand by accident and got a shout out at the gig from the boys. Life is good. Great documentary
I will buy De La records as long as they keep making them! Each album they have made has been different from the previous and lyrically they are always on point. The only other rapper that comes close to consistent great albums like De La is Ghostface Killah.
I'm a big Wu head so naturally to me they are the greatest Hip Hop group of all time. But I had to objectively look at De La Soul as they are in my top 5 groups of all time but I honestly in my opinion (no one else has to agree) but De La for me is the greatest group of all time!
@@darrylprice161 De La is the most consistent rap group of all time. OutKast, Tribe Called Quest, and Wu Tang had more impact than De La but none of them have a catalog where each album sounds different than the previous album and the quality of their albums are not as consistent. De La was working on an album with Pete Rock last that I heard. Can’t wait to hear what they come up with next.
To the Dove. We are going to miss you. Thanks for thinking of them words that helped shape the man I am today. True original. Love you and thanks for the classics. Rest my friend.
I discovered De La Soul about eight or nine months ago and they've quickly become one of my favorite groups ever. I missed the donation period on kickstarter but I pre ordered it as soon as I could and goddamn The Anonymous Nobody is probably one of the best albums to have come out in the last few years, I love it! As a huge Talking Heads fan, the track featuring David Byrne especially tickles me haha
DeadheadYates I’m probably aging myself by sharing this, but I was a sophomore in high school when their very first album came out. They emerged during a time when east coast rappers wore track suits, a lot of jewelry and Dapper Dan fashions. West coast rap was mostly gangster. They were the first group I remember that didn’t fit the norm, and they proved it was cool to just be yourself
47 years old you are. 1989 had different styles, not just track suits and dapper dans. it may be what skeff speaks about at 20:00 when puff 'changed' the game mid 90s
It's crazy to only find out more about this other side of De La years later. I finally got to meet these guys in 2004 and they were so gracious to all the fans. Definitely my favorite experience of meeting any musician. Also, all 3 of them are giants, I can't believe people would try it with these guys.
This interview was without a doubt one of the most uplifting, not only interviews, but also inspirational displays of heart-felt wisdom. I love these brothers so much, and I cried tears of joy watching it throughout. RestInBeats Dove. ✌️
one of my fav groups of all time, I remember listening to these guys back in the 80's and saying to myself "who the fuck are they, theyre weird", but I totally loved it. I still bump their earlier albums today and I still don't understand a fucking thing they were saying back then . I love the fact that they can take donations for an album, and make the album how they want to make it and now its the number 1 album in the country! real hip hop lives yall!
what an amazing doc! De La Soul will always be my favorite rap Group. Losing Dave was such a major loss to Hip Hop. You'll never find a rap group of this caliber again. The innovation that came out of this group was phenomenal!
The most underrated hip hop group of all time, every album is a classic, their catalog is exquisite. De La Soul is Dead got me into hip hop, and I’m still in love with it. They’re about to drop another 3 albums, from what I heard. ❤
When I left Zimbabwe in 2000 🇿🇼 I had to leave my record collection. The first album I bought as soon as I got paid in UK was 3 Feet High and Rising.....
Yeah, well that's just because you were born recently. Had you been born in the fifties or sixties, you would have been just as dismissive of this shit.
Thank you Mass Appeal for this historical hip hop journey. De La Soul made me so happy at the time cos they were different nd kinda made hip hop melodious. I appreciate this documentary. Thank u once again.
Me and my wife saw them live in London about 8 years ago. I’ve seen tons of live rap shows from the biggest artists but no one could put you under a spell like De La Soul. Just that one show and I knew they were the gift, I’ve been saying it ever since. Rest in peace to Trugoy the Dove, gone before his time ☮️
MY FAVORITE HIP HOP GROUP OF ALL TIMES!!!!!!! Every album was/is a classic (didn't really like Balloonmindstate)! Can't WAIT to hear this new album! Thank you for this doc! Brilliant shit! Hip Hop 4 Life!
Such a DOPE Documentary. It was great hearing from the those key figures of their beginning. I've grown up having De La as key players in my life's soundtrack. Having them say its cool to be different, was so important for my generation. I've have been, and still am always a De La Soul Fan... Salute.
+Chosun BK My dad showed me Me,Myself and I and I was instanly in love,the way they combined Knee Deep and Rapper Dapper Snapper with an awesome verse.
WOW! That guy Prince Paul is a GREAT person. Many will help when there is a financial incentive but very few people know when to let go after helping someone especially when there’s money involved.
I definitely enjoyed this documentary. De La Soul are a true testimony to be true to yourselves! I have their albums when they released it for free for 24 hrs. on the Internet. I will definitely purchase their new album, "...and the Anonymous Nobody." Much respect to these legendary creative groups in Hip Hop history!
Brillant humble brothers who didn't jump on the bandwagon!They do hip hop the it should be done !Dope lyrics,ill sampled beats,positive attitude and vibrations!De la Soul is De la Dope!
I got it! I got it! 3 Ft. High was on constant repeat......I was one of the strange ones, uptown in Dyckman Projects, bumpin De La. I tried to dress like them......It was new, creative, bohemian and outside the box. That whole Native Tongues crew was my shit.....
First and foremost RIP Dave. Your contribution and the impact will last forever. I'll never forget where I was when I heard Breakadawn for the first time. One of my friend's roommates was from New Rochelle, NY. His cousin would constantly send him new mixtapes. This was a time when it might take some parts of the country months or even years to get new music from other regions. I remember us hearing Breakadawn on one of those mixtapes. It had such aura while feeling nostalgic at the same time. We probably played it like 50 times over and over. Such a dope core memory and one of the many reasons I love HIp-Hop and love and respect De La.
Such an iconic innovative group. Hip Hop pioneers! Back in the day it was like nothing we had ever heard before since the majority of groups, artists (at the time) were sounding similar to each other. I was too young to appreciate the creativity of De La and how groundbreaking they truly were. Wayyyy ahead of their time. 33 years later and still rockin the house! How many Hip Hop groups or artists have the longevity of De La? They're the Hip Hop Rolling Stones.
Unity is a must in hip hop community the love it's very important ....and being creative is a thing with out it we can't stand out.. Rip Dave and love & Respect
BUHLOONE MINDSTATE is a near flawless blend of post bop jazz and abstract hip hop. It's up there with The Low End Theory for me. Stakes is High is a low key classic. Tons of fire on that one. De La Soul is definitely not dead.
My sis introduced me to “the soul” when they first dropped. She knew I was a Parliment fan and knew “me, myself & I” was gonna take me to another level in rap. I have all (believe it or not) cassette and CD. 😂 missing a couple of remixes but, I’ll find them.
This made me appreciate them much more than ever. I always considered myself a notch too "cool" for their music but now at 40.. they were too cool for me.
Monday, February 13th, 2023 8:49 p.m. - In my humble opinion DE LA Soul is in the top 3 greatest Hip Hop groups of all times. The reason why one says this because it simple the group music catalog is timeless. No one can agrue this fact for over three decades the group been putting out great music . Finally, if you just check their last album that was better than alot of younger Hip Hop music out there. R.I.P. plug 2 , M
Eye know is one of my favourite de la soul songs. The beginning of that song especially on a bright summer morning makes me feel so awake and want to be productive and then it drops into that baseline.
RIP Dave. Your presence will always be felt. Thank you for making real HipHop your home.
Wait, what?
🎯🎯🎯💯🙏🏼 So sad!
Tired of losing our legends so young... the difference in life expectancy along racial lines in America is shameful.
Kann!!!!!
They needa movie
R.I.P. Dave! Met Dave from De La Soul on my flight to Denver. Just an unbelievably nice and humble dude. Shocked and devastated at the news of his death.

Prince Paul is such an underated producer.
No lie detected!
Not if you know hip-hop! The man is a beastttt! But beyond these hallowed halls you are right.
Paul is ill.
@@discern7544 His work with Gravediggaz is criminally underrated as well.
He was a composer, the most underrated producer of ALL TIME!!!!
people who can fight don't talk about fighting - FACTS
Or maybe just maybe there are lots of different people and its not facts at all 😂😂
Thank God for Prince Paul, he opened the door for the greatest rap group. Even if they're a hundred years old and still doing it, I'll still be listening to them.
Prince Paul opened the door for wu tang🤔???........
In a way yes...He knew RZA.
They can rock till they're 101 years old.
Me too!😊
He's the one that made it happen . Without Prince paul these guys would have had only a demo tape.
Tom Silverman if you’re such a fan then how come you haven’t paid DeLaSoul? 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️💵
Super Facts ,because he is a greedy slave master bastard
He couldn't say that even with a straight face
Yea they need to whoop his sorry fucking ass!!
jew
His racist
De La Soul is one of the best hip hop groups around. They made it cool to be different and nerdy. This group should've received backpay for their hard work. RIP Trugoy🙏🏻

Absolutely 👍🏻
Easy E came into the record store I worked at - I sold him a copy of 3 Feet High and Rising as I was all up into it and pushing it on everyone.
Randy J are you serious? That's so cool man...
Where was this record store?
People like you make the culture. Respect man.
Randy J you sound like me when I working at a record store TRYING TO SELL EVERYONE “CAMP LO” debut album! THAT SHIT WAS SO DOPE! But dudes in Warren, OH wasn’t havin’ it!
Theonlychild1988 brilliant album indeed
Seriously, one of the best Hip Hop Groups of all time. Consistently dropping great records.
De la taught us it was cool to be yourself. Native Tongue period. I used to always rock my black medallions back in those days.
Salute to De La Soul for getting their Masters
Stakes is high still rings true today!!!2019
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time.
'Life can get all up in yo ass...baby YOU betta work out.....'
Yes

They call themselves cocky and nerdy but they looked really cool back then.....anyways they are legends.

Howww did you run into such a classic. I'm born in 89, so asking with genuine admiration
I always admired and related to De La for being different than the "norm". Respect to them.
My Favorite Hip Hop group. Innovative with flow, lyrics, beats and their own style. What makes De La great is that with each album, they are constantly growing and pushing themselves and never resting on what got them here. Mad Respect for theses bruthas.
Thank You for this. Its a welcome distraction amidst all the chaos. Im 43 years old, and a Day 1 DE LA SOUL fan. #StrongIsland

If you like Prince Paul, you should peep his new project Brookzill with Ladybug Mecca, Rodrigo Brandao and Don Newkirk.
Paul Lukes - Thanks for the amazing recommendation!
....wut @bout AOI and GRIND DATE?¿
Mine too
Stakes Is High was there magnum opus.
I just wanna shake these dudes' hands. Since "Plug Tuning", I have been straight up inspired! Every single, every video, every album....De La Soul is so innovative and I love it!
RIP Jay Dee
Rest in peace, Dave. De La forever.

De La Soul is very underrated as a group, they’re true lyricist and should be as acknowledged as Wu Tang, Tribe Called Quest, OutKast etc
That was Amazing!!!
My high school/ young adulthood years - this was part of the soundtrack…. Thanks for the upload- R.I.P. 🕊️
Posdnuos is one of the most underrated emcees, he is a really great lyricist.
my brother put me on to de la soul. (r. i. p. Shawn)
GABRIEL GOD my step brother did the same R.I.P Bark‼️
Great watch. I could happily sit through a 2 hr doc in more detail. Love the A.O.I era too!
DeLaSoul paved the way for people like Lupe Fiasco, Chance the Rapper, The Pharcyde & Kendrick Lamar. Hip hop from outside the box.
Kanye, Childish Gambino, Missy Elliott
DOPE DOPE DOPE...I'm a grown ass man feeling a great sense of pride. Have liked De La Soul since I first heard them. Love it!
Nice to see the guys in this day and age. Honestly, it seems like yesterday to me. Awesome music! Still fresh by today's standards.

sorry dude lmai had my math all wrong.
AND I WAS IN MATH HONORS IN HS!!
I remember the first time the "Me, Myself and I" video came on. I was glued to the TV. I'll always appreciate the music that they made.
One of the few groups who made a groundbreaking revolution and never asked for credit or recognition.. and they have no profanity in their lyrics most
RIP Trugoy. Fell in love with hip hop in late 80s thanks to groups like De La. Golden Era for ever
It's crazy to only find out more about this other side of De La years later. I finally got to meet these guys in 2004 and they were so gracious to all the fans.

Great documentary.
for real tho
I wish this was longer. Dope still.
"Stakes Is High" was the bomb that got me through a lot and spoke to me @ that point @ my life . . .
"neighborhoods are now hoods cuz nobody's neighbors".
Yooo that was the HARDEST bar when I heard it still fire
The most underrated hip hop group of all time, every album is a classic, their catalog is exquisite. De La Soul is Dead got me into hip hop, and I’m still in love with it. They’re about to drop another 3 albums, from what I heard. ❤
De la Soul vs ATCQ??
When I left Zimbabwe in 2000 🇿🇼 I had to leave my record collection. The first album I bought as soon as I got paid in UK was 3 Feet High and Rising.....
I'm not the biggest De la Soul fan but I got respect for them dudes they always stayed true to themselves and never faultered
De La Soul: Everyone wants peace and love.
Also De La Soul: shooting up cars and beating up people
RIP Dave! Love never dies. Greetings and lot of love from Belgium
holy shit i can actually understand what he's saying. most modern rappers dont even move their jaw in interviews lol
calm down njoy th de la
Yeah, well that's just because you were born recently. Had you been born in the fifties or sixties, you would have been just as dismissive of this shit.
This "guy" is older than u and a hip hop legend. Like calling your beatles some rock singers dude.

I don't see the hype, their prince Paul stuff was very boring to me. Stakes is high was a classic to me
+Iresha Picot To me, Bionix was. Lyrically they were just amazing and had a track for everything. Plus Trying People...wow!
I love De La Soul also. I'm one of the few who dug De La more then Tribe Called Quest. Both extremely dope but De La I liked more.
TheEdub1 Me too. Tribe is a close second. Like nose tip close. Tribe had the better production but lyrically De La is superior.
Literally can’t stop watching this. De la has such an interesting come up
Such a DOPE Documentary. It was great hearing from the those key figures of their beginning. I've grown up having De La as key players in my life's soundtrack. Having them say its cool to be different, was so important for my generation. I've have been, and still am always a De La Soul Fan... Salute.
I may have been listening to them for 3 years but Oh lord I love them.
The timeline is less relevant than the appreciation of them as artists. I'm glad you're also a fan!
+Chosun BK My dad showed me Me,Myself and I and I was instanly in love,the way they combined Knee Deep and Rapper Dapper Snapper with an awesome verse.
Amazing, great inspiring watch for me, love from UK. I'm 30 and my mother was the person in the house that owned their records. Big up
You saved my life....... thank you for evrything!
excellent documentary. I wish they would have gone more into the albums after stakes is high but it's still great
I still don't know what happened with AOI Part 3... I'd be more than happy to contribute to a Kickstarter to get THAT made!
What?!?!? Their best albums came after Stakes is High
PLEASE release these albums on digital!
dope. never broke up and still putting out new shit. Not surviving on that "old school tour"
RIP Dove. Thank you for the hip hop memories 🙏🏿🕊️
Seriously, what other hip hop act could challenge their record. They're like our Rolling Stones
louderthanabomb more like the rap Beatles and Prince Paul was their George Martin.

One of my friend's roommates was from New Rochelle, NY. His cousin would constantly send him new mixtapes.

Back in the day it was like nothing we had ever heard before since the majority of groups, artists (at the time) were sounding similar to each other. I was too young to appreciate the creativity of De La and how groundbreaking they truly were. Wayyyy ahead of their time. 33 years later and still rockin the house! How many Hip Hop groups or artists have the longevity of De La? They're the Hip Hop Rolling Stones.

Unity is a must in hip hop community the love it's very important ....and being creative is a thing with out it we can't stand out.. Rip Dave and love & Respect
BUHLOONE MINDSTATE is a near flawless blend of post bop jazz and abstract hip hop. It's up there with The Low End Theory for me. Stakes is High is a low key classic. Tons of fire on that one. De La Soul is definitely not dead.
My sis introduced me to “the soul” when they first dropped. She knew I was a Parliment fan and knew “me, myself & I” was gonna take me to another level in rap. I have all (believe it or not) cassette and CD. 😂 missing a couple of remixes but, I’ll find them.
This made me appreciate them much more than ever. I always considered myself a notch too "cool" for their music but now at 40.. they were too cool for me.
One of the dopest to ever do it! De la soul native tounges still inspiring
Monday, February 13th, 2023 8:49 p.m. - In my humble opinion DE LA Soul is in the top 3 greatest Hip Hop groups of all times. The reason why one says this because it simple the group music catalog is timeless. No one can agrue this fact for over three decades the group been putting out great music . Finally, if you just check their last album that was better than alot of younger Hip Hop music out there. R.I.P. plug 2 , M
Stakes Is High is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time, with the title track being one of my top 3 favorite songs of all time.
R.i.p J. Dilla
INCREDIBLE LYRICISM on that album.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
Prince Paul's set up is DOPE!!!!!!
Eye know is one of my favourite de la soul songs. The beginning of that song especially on a bright summer morning makes me feel so awake and want to be productive and then it drops into that baseline.
