3 FEET HIGH AND RISING YELLOW

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album of hip - hop trio de la Soul, released on March 3, 1989. It was the first of three full - length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, reaching critical and commercial peaks for both. This successful album features singles like 'Me Myself and I', 'The Magic Number', 'Buddy', and 'Eye Know'. Its title is inspired by Johnny Cash's 'Five Feet High and Rising'. It's 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, starting with 'Me, Myself and I', made them unique. Labeled a 'hippie' group due to their 'D.A.I.S.Y. Age' declaration, the album samples various artists and is seen as the start of 1990s alternative hip hop, especially jazz rap.
