De La Soul Finally Bringing Classic Albums to Streaming Services, Group Confirms
The hip-hop legends say they have control of their masters and will reissue 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul Is Dead, and more in March
De La Soul’s classic albums are finally coming to streaming services on March 3, the group says. The hip-hop legends’ run from 1989 through 2001 will be released digitally via bandmember Maseo’s label AOI, in partnership with Reservoir and the distribution wing of Chrysalis. The six albums are 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul Is Dead, Buhloone Mindstate, Stakes Is High, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump, and AOI: Bionix. “It’s been 20 plus years overdue, but finally, we are here,” Maseo said in a press release. Physical reissues are also set for release on March 3.
The news comes after a false start in 2019, when De La Soul suggested that Tommy Boy’s plans to bring their classic records to streaming services involved an exploitative contract. The planned release was canceled after a public outcry. In 2021, the band said the dispute had been resolved after Reservoir acquired Tommy Boy.
De La Soul’s last album was 2016’s And the Anonymous Nobody…, which had been their first since 2004’s The Grind Date. The 2016 album featured Little Dragon, David Byrne, Damon Albarn, Usher, and others, and came with a documentary called We’re Still Here (Now)…. In 2017, De La Soul jumped on Gorillaz’s Humanz track “Momentz.”
Read Jeff Chang’s Sunday Review of 3 Feet High and Rising and check out Pitchfork’s rundowns of the Best Albums and Songs of the 1990s, featuring De La Soul Is Dead on the former, and, on the latter, “Stakes Is High” and “A Rollerskating Jam Named ‘Saturdays.’”

Dr. Dre put his stuff back up for stream. Also released an HD remaster of the rare Lil Ghetto Boy music video (it was banned from MTV for graphic violence.)

Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Tupac etc. will probably be making comebacks soon with this tech.

Re: General Music News
I made a reference to that song while playing ARK early last year. I thought it was a pretty good reference, but only one person (Our age) got my reference and it confused everyone under 27.
I thought the song was a few years newer but having to explain to people why us old fucks liked the reference revealed it was very old.
In the game there's Argentavis birds which everyone referred to as 'Argy' "take an Argy and go get us supplies" was a constant phrase in our small server.
I happened to love the birds for EVERYTHING in the game, so I bred and raised a warrior squad to fight for me so I wouldn't die on longer explorations. I took 8 total with me, 1 as a flying uhaul that I would never let die. And 7 expendable attack birds! I called them the Seven Nation Argy...
But if you really want to feel old, When I lost my first Argy, I built it a massive monument and inscribed "Don't cry for me Argentavis" on a beach, and not a single person got that reference. I shouldn't even know who Andrew Lloyd Webber or Julie Covington are!

3 Feet and DLS Is Dead get all the attention, but I really hope Stakes Is High gets some notice too. It had the misfortune of coming out at the height of Death Row vs Bad Boy and Tupac shit on them when he got mad about something, but it's another classic.
