Evidence, Rakaa Iriscience, and DJ Babu had been building toward this moment since 1992, surviving a shelved major label album and years of underground hustle before finally releasing \u003cem\u003eThe Platform\u003c\/em\u003e on Capitol Records on May 23, 2000. The result was exactly what the underground had been waiting for, and it arrived sounding completely, defiantly itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn a landscape increasingly dominated by the polished gloss of mainstream rap, \u003cem\u003eThe Platform\u003c\/em\u003e stood as a back-to-basics declaration, closer in spirit and sound to the boom-bap and turntablism of the early 1990s East Coast tradition than to anything happening in Los Angeles at the time. As Evidence himself has described it, the album had already been done before they signed their deal. They didn't budge. This was what they had, and this is what came out. The true sense of an independent record on a major label, and that integrity runs through every track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe production is a masterclass. DJ Babu brings the dextrous scratches and beat science of the Beat Junkies to proceedings, Evidence handles his own production with a raw, dusty precision that would define his entire career, and a young Alchemist, serving as something close to the album's unofficial fourth member, announced himself as a future great with beats that drew equally from the gritty New York school and the sun-bleached California underground. Kutmasta Kurt's \"Work the Angles\" is perhaps the album's finest single moment, a track that had been circulating on 12-inch since 1998 and lost none of its power on the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe guest list reads like a who's who of the West Coast underground: B-Real of Cypress Hill on the uplifting \"No Retreat,\" Tha Alkaholiks on \"Right On,\" Everlast, Aceyalone, Defari, Phil Da Agony, and Planet Asia all appear. The album debuted at number 74 on the Billboard 200, earned critical acclaim across the underground press, and helped open the door for an alternative current in Los Angeles hip-hop that would shape the genre for the next decade.

Released on May 14, 1991, the sophomore effort from Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Maseo was a deliberate and total dismantling of everything that had made their debut so beloved, and the shattered flowerpot on the cover said it clearly: the D.A.I.S.Y. Age was over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe title was a declaration of metamorphosis rather than defeat, as Posdnuos himself has reflected, the group simply growing up and transferring to another plane. But the shift was undeniably jarring. Where \u003cem\u003e3 Feet High and Rising\u003c\/em\u003e had been psychedelic, colorful, and warmly optimistic, \u003cem\u003eDe La Soul Is Dead\u003c\/em\u003e was darker, more cynical, more satirical, and considerably more complex. Prince Paul returned to produce a 27-track, nearly 80-minute sprawl that incorporated close to 100 different samples spanning James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, ELO, Tom Waits, Lenny Kravitz, and dozens of obscure 1970s soul and funk artists, weaving them into an album-length concept piece framed as a radio broadcast, complete with skits, interludes, and a liner-note comic strip read-along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe weightier subject matter matched the bolder ambition. \"My Brother's a Basehead\" confronted drug addiction with unflinching directness. \"Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa\" told a harrowing story of sexual abuse with the kind of narrative precision rarely heard in hip-hop. \"Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)\" skewered the unwanted attentions of aspiring artists riding their coattails. Against all of that, \"A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays\" featuring Q-Tip provided a blast of pure disco-funk joy, one of the most irresistible tracks either act ever recorded. Guest appearances from Q-Tip and Black Sheep's Dres completed a record that Rolling Stone called an unruly, seemingly effortless hip-hop masterpiece, and which The Source awarded its coveted Five Mic rating, one of only fifteen albums in the magazine's history to receive the honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRanked at number 228 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and carrying now the additional poignancy of Trugoy the Dove's passing in February 2023, \u003cem\u003eDe La Soul Is Dead\u003c\/em\u003e endures as a landmark of creative courage and one of the essential documents of hip-hop's golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":45276555673762,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/DeLaSoul-IsDead.jpg?v=1740003067"},{"product_id":"de-la-soul-buhloone-mind-state","title":"De La Soul - Buhloone Mind State","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most underappreciated album in one of hip-hop's greatest catalogs, and for a devoted contingent of listeners the finest record De La Soul ever made. Released on September 21, 1993, Buhloone Mindstate is the third studio album from Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Maseo, and the last to feature production from Prince Paul, whose partnership with the group had defined their first three records. The title, a phonetic spelling of \"balloon,\" carried its own thesis statement: as Posdnuos described it, we might blow up, but we won't go pop. The album opens with exactly that chant, and then proceeds to prove it across one of the most jazzily adventurous and lyrically dense hip-hop records of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere De La Soul Is Dead had been sprawling and deliberately chaotic, Buhloone Mindstate is focused, lean, and considerably more ambitious sonically. The group pushed deeper into jazz territory than they had on any previous release, and the collaborators they enlisted were extraordinary. Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, and Pee Wee Ellis, all formative members of James Brown's legendary backing band the JBs, appear on \"Patti Dooke\" alongside Gang Starr's Guru, creating one of the most genuinely stunning intersections of jazz and hip-hop the golden era ever produced. \"I Be Blowin'\" hands the entire track to Maceo Parker for a five-minute saxophone solo, a gesture of pure generosity and reverence toward the music's roots. \"I Am I Be,\" featuring the same trio of jazz veterans, showcases Posdnuos at his most introspective and self-referential, a moment of vulnerability embedded in a track of gorgeous, unhurried beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's disillusionment with the music industry runs through everything. \"Eye Patch\" and \"Patti Dooke\" are extended critiques of the mainstream's efforts to control and commodify Black music and push De La toward safer, more accessible sounds. They refused. \"Ego Trippin' (Part Two)\" pokes sharp fun at the gangsta and pimp personas becoming dominant in hip-hop, female MC Shortie No Mas cuts through several tracks with her own distinct energy, and \"Long Island Wildin'\" makes history as the first appearance of Japanese rappers on a major label hip-hop album, featuring Scha Dara Parr and Takagi Kan. Lead single \"Breakadawn,\" sampling both Michael Jackson and Smokey Robinson over thunderous boom-bap drums, became the album's commercial anchor. The album closes with a loose, joyful Biz Markie collaboration called \"Stone Age\" that brings the whole record home in the most characteristically De La Soul way possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolling Stone critic Paul Evans called it more focused than the group's previous albums and more ambitious sonically, writing that it gets to something rap seldom achieves, a truly gorgeous groove. Entertainment Weekly gave it an A. Robert Christgau ranked it fifth best album of 1993. Chris Rock named it the tenth greatest hip-hop record of all time in Rolling Stone.
