Hit: 5 Stars
This album is De La Soul's "White Album" to the "Sgt. Pepper's" vibe of 3 Feet High and Rising. This album is like the hangover from the party that was first album. One of the most rewarding rap listens out there. Smart, funky, and all over the place. They do everything from speaking out about child abuse to making biting fun of house music. It's a wild ride- sometimes making you think and sometimes making you laugh. A hidden gem that deserves a few listens to grow on you.
De La Soul Is Dead Poster
De La Soul burned out on their own hype fast, and their dark, strange second album is a counter-blast to their image and hip-hop culture: perverse, dissatisfied, sometimes brilliant, sometimes out of control. Occasionally it seems mean-spirited--the single "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" finds them grousing about getting deluged by demo tapes, and "Kicked Out The House" is a nasty (if very funny) parody of hip-house. But no one's ever made a rap album that sounds like this. Sickly out-of-tune loops drift in and out; songs derail themselves with loud sneers, or give way to bizarre dialogues; Posdnuos and Trugoy chant together like the words have lost all meaning. The concept that ties the disc together---an imaginary radio station called WRMS--gives it an extra kick. --Douglas Wolk180 Gram Vinyl pressing. De La Soul's second album, orginally released in 1991.
