wow. ’bout to buy this album again. Three Feet High and Rising anniversary concert footage. IN FULL. i say again, WOW! worth it for the “Dininit” intro. And I’ll be back for the Fink concert.

true love.

o:{but now I’m thinking, if artists can’t sell albums, and they’re making money off of live shows, and I’m watching this for free…I just hope that this great service won’t cut into their income and there is some licensing deal in effect.}

As both a collector and a runner, I found this too interesting to pass up. Dave seems a little bored with the commerce side of the project in this video. But De La Soul are continuing to find interesting ways to make albums. Ya gotta respect their hustle.

For more, check Maceo at DeLaSoul’s Dugout.

ummm… and then there’s this:
Master Killa for PETA?

This is a must have! It’s like a documentary of Q-Tip/Tribe/Native Tongues. J.Period has so many little interviews mixed into this mixtape as music that I can’t wait until Volume 2! I was wondering how they were able to give this away as a free download, but maybe it’s the Scion connection.

But back to the mix. Worth the download time alone for the De La version of “Excursions” and the Kweli, Randy Watson Experience version of “Youthful (Expressions)”, but then you get back stories like Q-Tip explaining the meaning of the name, Dave of De La telling the story of the meeting of the Native Tongues, and Bob Power explaining the spontaneity of the “Bob Power, you there?” line. Classic.
