We probably gotta, at least first or more often, look back at these years as it was at the time and how we felt in the moment. It's revisionist history to lump shit together with factors and legacy or impact that was yet to exist.









Longtime Sopranos lore: this was Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan’s acting debut








30 years ago today i released a song. 🙏🏿🎂❤️


37 years ago today, De La Soul release their debut LP, 3 Feet High and Rising, on Tommy Boy Records. selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, it’s one of the most innovative hip-hop records ever recorded. Prince Paul was a mad genius on here, practically inventing the “hip-hop skit”. he stepped in like a crazy hybrid of Malcolm McLaren and George Martin. Tom Silverman once credited De La as being the group that jumpstarted rap’s “third generation.” the first generation had taken rap from the parks to records, and the second had taken it from records to the arenas. the third reclaimed it for themselves - reinventing traditions and creating new revolutions. they idolized the energy and accomplishments of the first, while trying to displace the second. a veritable how-to guide on hip-hop sampling, I’m still catching shit on this record 3 decades later. a masterpiece. rest easy, Dave. #RIPTrugoy #RIPDave
