De La Soul brings “3 Feet High…” anniversary tour to Emo’s
Calling all Jennys - or anyone who’s a fan of De La Soul and old-school hip-hop.
The pioneering New York trio will bring the tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the straight-up fantastic “3 Feet High And Rising” to Emo’s on Aug. 1. Not just a normal tour, this joint will feature a 10-piece Rhythm Roots Allstars band, which will come as close to filling in for “3 Feet…” producer Prince Paul as we can imagine.
Tickets available here.
Pretty much the alpha and omega of conscious, fun-time rap, “3 Feet…” was the first rap record to skillfully use between-song skits and used talking fish in a bathtub as a narrative voice. Clearly, this was some next-level stuff.
If this is all new to you, it’s probably best to the backpackers and dedicated hip-hop heads scramble for tickets to what should be a show for the ages. But for goodness sake, check out this video for “Me, Myself and I” and start the dive down an amazing rabbit hole. Get wise;
