I'm looking out for this one. Apparently it was released already but I haven't seen it in the store.

Wow, I wasn't aware they re-issued this CD. Wait a minute, was it digitally remasterred? I purchased this CD (i had the album version in the 80's) around 2002 but the sound sucks, you have to turn the bass abd volume up on your stereo.

The argument can be made that De La Soul is the greatest hip-hop group of all-time. Because they've made a string of "out of the box" albums for nearly 20 years. From 3 Feet High to The Grind Date, De La has been holding it down.

Their criminally overlooked masterpiece?

With arguably their best song ever "The Bizness" featuring Common. I STILL bump that shit on the ride!

Nah bro, I mean, De La Soul is Dead is a great CD, but 3 Feet high just sounded so fresh and unique and every song was cranking. The music was a little more creative. I will say, that Rollerskating joint was the shit though.

One of the hottest beats they've ever had, one of the hottest tracks they've ever had.

My favorite is still the title track. It was in the vein of "Rebel Without A Pause" to me.

It is a mix CD staple for me. I dig Ego Trip, and the remix of Ego Trip as well.

All this De La talk makes me want to pull out an album. The only one I have at work though is 'Timeless'.

Better than nothing.

Yeah, I knew that disc was missing something integral. I have it on something else anyway.

Well if you bought it in 2002 I wonder if you got the 2001 reissue. Supposedly it has been remastered, but I still have to crank up the volume on that disc and pump up the bass. Playing it side to side with my old cd (yes I've bought it more than once) I notice that Tommy Boy's reissue in 2001 is much clearer on the high end.

I just listened to 'Timeless' and had forgotten it's on there.
