Celebrating 20 Years of Greatness
August 19, 2009
If you haven’t copped the latest (and greatest) issue of Frank 151, I suggest you stop tripping and find your local carrier. The most recent issue celebrates De La Soul’s 20th anniversary of 3 Feet High & Rising, giving the trio full creative control of the content and layout.
One of the articles focuses on their A & R representative Dante Ross, as he explains his first encounters with De La, and the impact it left with him and hip-hop in general. Here’s an excerpt:
OK, De La killed their first show, which is funny, because during their early tours post the success of 3 Feet High and Rising, they actually were kind of suspect live, something they admit freely and something they worked hard to overcome. It’s ironic because they have one of the best live shows in all of hip-hop these days and tour and perform constantly.
You can read the full article HERE, or through grabbing the latest copy of Frank 151 (which I highly suggest).
