De La Soul Back Catalog
As it hasn’t been mentioned yet;
De La Soul want you to have all of their music for free. The American hip-hop group are celebrating their 25th anniversary by making their “entire catalogue” available, at no cost, on their website.
Live at 11am EST
I myself will definitely be heading over to get myself some.
I saw this yesterday…I think I have everything but one big download for the my music library at home will be nice.
25 Years since I went out and bought ‘3 Feet High & Rising’ …where has that time gone..?
I might remember had I not been drunk for most of it 
Nice! Thanks for the link!
It’s the remixes and b-sides that I’ll be snapping up!!!
Good ol’ De La.
It’s live!!
Thanks for the heads up! Love me some De La…
Thinking I might have to wait till tomorrow morning to grab these… signed up as soon as it became available, just had email with links through, which are just links to dropbox…

Hopefully it will have calmed down in 8 hours or so!!
The only album I’m missing is Buhloon Mindstate. When gangsta rap pretty much took over Hip Hop after NWA De La (and Native Tongues) was the perfect counter weight, the yin to the yang. I wore out that 3 Feet High And Rising cassette and had to splice it back together, then bought the CD, then the vinyl. It’s been 25 years and I’m fucken old.
The downloads are working again now!
Downloaded! Awesome. Throwbacks all day for me today now.
This is very smart on De La’s behalf.
Most of the early catalog will never be available on legit download sites like itunes because of the samples clearances…way too many writers, publishers, and record labels involved.
Plus, they are one of the most consistently touring rap acts. I read somewhere that a industry figure call them the “grateful dead of hip hop”.
I’m sure most of their income is from shows and merch sold at shows. It’s probably hard to expose new listeners to their music when half the catalog isn’t for sale online and if it was they wouldn’t probably see a dime of it.
Makes sense to just give it away.
That mix is sick!
