Editorial Review:
From Amazon.com:
De La's debut represented a new path for hip-hop, a reaction to conventions that had turned into clichés. It was friendly and playful enough to cross over to a pop audience (thanks to Prince Paul's production, which found the funk hiding inside Steely Dan and 'Schoolhouse Rock'), but complicated and tough enough to be hugely influential in the hip-hop world. Cryptic but ecstatic, and sometimes sexy (especially the ingenious double-entendre 'Buddy'), Trugoy and Posdnuos's lyrics invented a 'new style of speak,' dense with self-invented slang and metaphors. The hits, including 'Say No Go' and 'Me Myself And I,' are delightful, but the little sketches and sound-experiments between them make the whole disc flow effortlessly. --Douglas Wolk

- GreatListening to this album for the first time as I write this review. Tis album is great. Buy it!!
I don't care if these guys are commercial because wvwn the most underground of Hip Hop have to become commercial to make their $$$ so they are all just wannabe gangbangers.
To make the cash they hae to 'sell their souls'

- Memorable & fun...Don't get me wrong-I'm predominantly New Wave/Indie but I remember De La Soul for making infectious,catchy tunes and there are many on this album.Whenever I need a lift I play this-it is quite simply impossible not to enjoy.I'm listening now after a couple (or so!) beers and I'm grinning from ear to ear.
Fantastic.Buy It.

- Still stands out like a big redwood!This album will always live in the memory because of how original it was and still is.
Yes this has something to do with the very unoriginal hip hop nowadays but it's still a must own album, they will never top this.
Rating:
- Rap at Its BestSays it all - never to be taken too seriously but never too lightly, De La Soul's greatest album to date - the extended version is worth it for the completist in anyone - and for the bonus disc alone.

- Thank you for the Daisy Age!Aah De La Soul, you've just gotta love these guys. This was their debut album, and at the time the level of Rap and Hip Hop was pretty much like it is now...full of macho male bravado.
These performers were full of Hip hop culture, but wanted FUN. There is an infectious quality to these tunes which forces you to smile. They lauded the coming of The Daisy Age, short lived but enjoyable paving the way for Arrested Development etc. but nobody topped this joint.
