Daisy Age


We'll continue with that Spring feeling with a track from the First De La Soul album, 1989's Three Feet High and Rising. The album is a masterpiece collage of songs, skits, and pop samples (Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, Schoolhouse Rock)
The lighthearted vibe and flowery vernacular led to the group being dubbed Hippie Rap by the community at large along with fellow Native Tongue Posse acts Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. To debunk the idea, De La Soul called their second record De La Soul Is Dead, and showed three dead flowers on the cover, one for each member, representing the end of the short lived "Daisy Age".
