3 Feet High and Rising (black vinyl)

3 Feet High and Rising is the first studio album by the hip - hop trio de la Soul, released on March 3, 1989. It's the start of a three - album collaboration with producer Prince Paul, reaching a high point both critically and commercially. This successful album features hit singles like 'Me Myself and I', 'The Magic Number', 'Buddy', and 'Eye Know'. The album title is inspired by Johnny Cash's 'Five Feet High and Rising'. It's highly regarded, being on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records, The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums, and Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 1989's gangsta rap boom with hardcore lyrics, de la Soul's positive style made them stand out. Their 'D.A.I.S.Y. Age' concept led many to call them a 'hippie' group. Sampling from diverse artists such as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, and The Turtles, it's seen as the start of 1990s alternative hip - hop and jazz rap. This version comes on black vinyl with a comic insert.

Using this product is simple. Just place the black vinyl record on your turntable and gently drop the needle onto the groove to start enjoying the music.
