"De La Soul helped usher in a new era in rap with an album that offered an alternative to gangsta rap. The reissue includes a limited edition bonus disc with rare B-sides and remixes."
"Der Erstling von De La Soul war zwar nicht das erste wichtige HipHop-Album - <<It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back>> von Public Enemy erschien schon im Jahr vorher! -, aber es war das erste HipHop-Album, das einem breiteren Publikum klar machte: HipHop ist mehr als nur eine Mode, es ist eine ganze Kultur, die zehn Jahre nach Sugarhill Gang ein ganz neues Niveau erreicht hat. -- So witzig, vielseitig und zugleich absolut glaubwürdig, wie dieses Trio aus Long Island daherkam, hatte noch niemand HipHop praktiziert - und darum wurde <<3 Feet High & Rising>> hoffnungsvoll als <<die Zukunft des Hip-Hop>> gefeiert, obwohl mit N.W.A.s <<Straight Outta Compton>> gleichzeitig auch der Gangsta-Rap massiv präsent war. -- Zugegeben: die geradezu psychedelische Verspieltheit von De La Soul ist seither aus dem Mainstream fast wieder verschwunden. Und doch: das Album bleibt ein absolutes Meisterwerk, wenn es darum geht, welches kreative Potential HipHop wirklich hat.
