Album Notes De La Soul: Posdnuous/Plug Won, Maseo, Trugoy/Plug 2. Producers include: Prince Paul, Posdnous, The Mentor & His Three Sons, De La Soul, OGee. Compilation producer: Barry "Rockbarry" Benson. Recorded between 1988 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Soren Baker. While rap vanguards De La Soul have always been one of the most album-oriented artists in the hip-hop universe, their career as traced by their singles is no less impressive. The trio first earned underground notice with the bouncing anti-"byte"ing 12" "Potholes in My Lawn" and even grazed the pop top 40 in 1989--at a time when fewer rap songs did that--with the Parliament-thumping "Me, Myself & I." Their history up to 2003 (when this compilation was dropped) includes classics like the disco-fied "Rollerskating Jam Called 'Saturdays'," the minimalistic "Ego Trippin' (Part 2)," the introspective and jazzy "Stakes is High," and the poppy ode to fuller-figured women, "Baby Phat."
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 - ...Are De La Soul the greatest rap group ever to grace the mike? The Long Island trio's first anthology certainly makes the case... Rolling Stone (06/12/2003)
