The album title came from the Johnny Cash song Five Feet High and Rising. It isnbsplisted on Rolling Stones 200 Essential Rock Records and The Sources 100 Best RapnbspAlbums. When Village Voice held its annual Jazz amp Pop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 FeetnbspHigh and Rising was ranked 1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stones The 500nbspGreatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, whichnbspgravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Souls uniquelynbsppositive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, Me, Myself andnbspI. Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a hippie group, based of their declaration of the D.A.I.S.Y. Age Da. Inner. Soul. Yall.nbspSampling artists as diverse as Hall amp Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet Highnbspand Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop and especially jazz rap.An absolutely essential slice of Hip Hop history thatrsquos been unavailable for some time.nbsp
