De La Soul Is Dead
Description On their notorious second album, De La Soul went to great lengths to debunk the daisy-age hippie image they'd been pigeonholed with, titling the record De La Soul Is Dead and putting a picture of wilting daisies in a broken flowerpot on the cover. Critics and fans alike were puzzled as to why the group was seemingly rejecting what had been hailed as the future of hip-hop, and neither the reviews nor the charts were kind to the album. It isn't that De La try to remake their sound here...

Rolling Stone (12/23/93, p.156) - "...By no means have De La Soul lost the dada carnival spirit that spotlighted them in the late '80's but [they] are decidedly less gigglesome..."Spin (11/93, p.127) - Highly Recommended - "...Like sweet flavors, De La Soul grants feelings of inclusion....If you didn't get [BUHLOONE MIND STATE], you can act like you know and [De La Soul] wouldn't care--you could be in anyway..."Entertainment Weekly (10/8/93, p.52) - "...on BUHLOONE MINDSTATE, we find a more firmly...

"No longer backed by record companies but back by popular demand" raps Posdnuos in "Freedom Train," the penultimate song on De La Soul's label-less mixtape Impossible Mission: TV Series, Pt. 1 , a collection of older previously unreleased tracks, as well as new material, all of which helps to firmly establish the group as one of hip-hop's legends. Not that Impossible Mission compares to 3 Feet High and Rising or De La Soul Is Dead or even AOI: Bionix , because it doesn't -- those were all focused...

Spin (8/96, pp.98-100) - Reasonably Good - "...Recording for the first time without Prince Paul....De La Soul have settled for a series of serviceable, mid-tempo grooves. There's a not-unpleasing nimbleness about STAKES, but toying with a groove, not merely establishing it, has always been the appeal of a De La record..."Entertainment Weekly (7/12/96, p.58) - "...Musically, they've traded in their gorgeously weird jazz-based soundscapes for sparser, straight-ahead beats....Still, De La Soul prove...

DE LA SOUL IS DEAD deals with the great and small issues in life. On "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa," De La tells the story of the daughter of a successful social worker who is molesting her. They take on fast food customer service in "Bitties in the BK Lounge": "Young girl, won't you take my order? …could be pissed 'cause she's clockin' $2.45 an hour." On the hit "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)," De La tells of being overwhelmed by people trying to use the group to get in the business: "She was screamin...

Concert promoters created handbill versions of many of their posters and used them as sidewalk handouts and dashboard fliers to promote upcoming shows. Many of the handbills are double-sided, with poster art on one side and a calendar of upcoming shows on the other. These handbills represent an important element of rock concert history because they were hands-on marketing tools that united promoter and patron.

De La Soul were interrupted just before they could deliver the third volume in their AOI series -- projected to be a DJ album -- to Tommy Boy. (The label perhaps bailed out from a 15-year relationship precisely because the group was going to release such a commercially bankrupt title, one that will instead appear on an independent label run by Maseo.) De La Soul quickly realized they couldn't go ahead with the plan after signing their AOI label to Sanctuary, so they wrote a new record, "The Grind...

The last time I saw De La live was at the Spitkicker Tour (@ Celebrity Theater) in 2000 or 2001, I think. It was obviously a great bill (Common was there, too), but De La put on a great show. Post-ArtOfficialIntelligence, I haven’t really kept up, but I’m sure it’ll be a good show.
