De La Soul formed as a trio on Long Island in the mid-1980s, with Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Maseo. Their 1989 debut '3 Feet High and Rising' was a left-field hit that didn't sound much like other rap records at the time, built on jazz samples and a loose, playful energy. The single 'Me Myself and I' got radio play, but the album's deeper cuts like 'The Magic Number' and 'A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"' showed their range. They followed with 'De La Soul Is Dead' in 1991 and 'Buhloone Mindstate' in 1993, records that felt more grounded and less whimsical than the debut. By 1996's 'Stakes Is High,' the title track addressed a changing hip-hop landscape with clear-eyed concern. Their approach to sampling, which was central to their collage-like sound, led to legal headaches that kept much of their early catalog tied up for years. Later albums like 'The Grind Date' and the 2016 crowd-funded 'And the Anonymous Nobody...' showed the group adapting to different eras without losing their identity.
