Why Was De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising Unavailable for 30 Years?
In 1989, De La Soul spent $13,000 clearing samples for their debut album. They did everything right. It didn’t matter.
What followed was a legal catastrophe that made *3 Feet High and Rising* unavailable for 30 years and changed how hip-hop could be made forever.
