De La Soul is a massively influential hip hop group, hailing from Amityville, Long Island, New York. They are best known for their eclectic sampling and quirky, surreal lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap subgenre. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude JolicÅ“ur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Paul Huston (Prince Paul) with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". Their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising (1989), was a critical smash that saw the group labeled hippies due to the message of peace and love.

Hey hip-hoppers, tired of that old trend of ghostwriters?
Well heres the newest sensation thats sweepin the nation!

Just a couple of hits and.. {*inhales*} its gangster!
Watch how we secretly sabotaged this cypher with ghost weed..

[pharoahe monch]
How many niggaz who will actually kill still rhymin?
How many niggaz who are actually signed still killin? ..
.. and when it comes to killin a mic, they aint willin
And Im supposed to be shook? thats the shit that kills me
Take a bullet for x in the ballroom and then vanish
Extinguish the sun when I drew, play pool with the planets
Triskadekaphobia lyrics, outlandish
My shit straight from the soul, God damnit
Its the one time only, vernacular original
Spectacular miraculous flow, computer digital
I ridicule the pitiful, piss upon the miniscule
Pharoahe monch, better park that ass like municipal
*****
Yo, you ripped that
You ripped that shit kid, killed it!
That was dope, that was dope
He kinda had that yo, he kinda had that
Nah man, it did not sound like pharoahe
Hey, you need to congratulate
It was the weed.. it was the trees
You need to congratulate, knahmsayin?
Ghost weeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
