De La Soul is an American hip hop trio formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York.The band is best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". Prince Paul was also sometimes referred to as Plug Four. The Plug names are alleged to come from the numbers that each bandmate's microphone was labeled on the soundboard. Posdnuos was always plugged into plug one, Trugoy was plugged into plug two, and so forth.
Album "3 Feet High And Rising" (1989)

@0iTrojanSkinz0i i think its cuz people were saying de la soul were being fake and they were making happy hippie music so that lots of white suburbian kids would buy their records. the water coloring is supposed 2 represent de la souls colorful de la style like their clothes and prince paul is saying just cuz theyve got a colorful happy style doesnt mean they arent being themselves (original water=being urself)

this is the shit! to ME, prince paul is saying in the intro, that it duznt matter wut culture or sub-culture, or click u r into. people are people. we are all the same. you can mask it with color and a million other things. duznt matter. what is more important is just being who u r. not trying to b apart of something. u can go ahead and conform to whatever u think is cool, but u will still b who u r. everyone should stop tryin 2 whut is expected from them, and just act casual and b themselves!
