Amityville, New York, United States (1987 – present)
Their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising (1989), was a critical smash that saw the group labeled hippies due to the message of peace and love. They quickly became prominent members of the Universal Zulu Nation, along with A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Queen Latifah, Jungle Brothers and others. They were also members of the famed Native Tongues Posse and mentioned the group often in their music (though they have since left the group for various reasons). “
Me Myself and I” became a huge hit, further cementing the group’s popularity. However, rock group The Turtles sued the group for sampling “You Showed Me” without permission on De La Soul’s “Transmitting Live from Mars”. From that point on, sampling required permission from the sources before it was released.

It goes to show how good and consistent De La Soul really are that everybody has their own favourite album by them. Really hope their new album comes out this year, it's been too long since we had a proper lp by them, but yeah..... Buhloone Mindstate and Stakes Is High are my favorites [3]
