Respectfully, I don’t think you’ve even listened to this album.

Cool.
Respectfully, I think you just don't like that my opinion of that album differs from yours. Doubt that you believe that anybody from that era didn't listen to that album.

I have the Tommy Boy VHS promo for the month that the album came out. Had them performing the song with Common, and Above the Law video for 100 spokes on there.

Mixtape Shows gave the songs on the album burn.....and Hot 97 played "It's So Easy" a LOT.

Sound about right?

Like I've always said, just being in the city and making rounds exposed you to a third of damn near every album before it came out.

Whaaaat?

That is not true at all. Underground backpacker movement of the late 90s got boosted by talentless garbage like EL-P and other internet geeks who can't make a coherent instrumental nor can they rap on beat, but they used internet to spew their fake reviews and hate on everything that's popular. De La Soul is real Hip Hop, if anything the backpacker movement got massively inspired by the musical garbage that is called "funcrusher plus"

forgot about EL-P....Super wack I hear you tho.....IMO after 1996 the line between shyt like EL-P and De La became pretty fukking thin....the obvious difference in talent aside

I just feel like they never should have gotten rid of Prince Paul

They had no reason to have a sense of humor at the time, their label was breathing down their neck to change their sound because the rap game was moving in a different direction.

Which is why they came out criticizing everything. There was nothing to be humorous about.

In between 2Pac catching feelings, Treach being pissed off about that Naughty line, the widening gap between the younger and older generations, and the rift between the Mainstream and the Underground, De La struck a nerve with that album.

And rightfully so.
