They've been pretty damn consistent. I still love the first four albums, and I've got a lot of time for both AOI albums and The Grind Date.
A whole bunch of friends who don't really know De La outside of 3 Feet High have hit me up this morning asking for recommendations. I just said, "All of it."

To anyone interested...The Champs is a podcast that recently interviewed Maseo and I thought it was fucking awesome. Great stories about the group, the music some small world hiphop connections...including a story involving Keith Murray, Reggie Noble and angel dust.
At any rate, here is the link if anyone is interested... http://thechamps.libsyn.com/maseo-from-de-la-soul
B/W...A pile of revenue I create but I guess I don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late....

I've had to deal with a fair amount or rights/clearances over the last few years, and am totally ok with music and sampling law being a thing.
But, damn- if stuff like this starts to become unavailable to us, we are all the worse off for it.
File this (and Paul's Boutique, Biz, PE, et al) under a Grandfather clause, and make the world a better place.

B/W - Maseo is a grandpa and like Harv said, the proud father of a potential first round pick in the NFL.

It's cool Maseo agreed to go on this show... but dudes sound really uninformed.
:latte:

Yeah, they are two comedians...not hiphop historians. Neil Brennan is one of the writers/creators of The Chapelle Show. It's a weird show in that...they are (as you've noticed) fairly uninformed but they end up getting pretty cool stories out of their guests....you should hear the Big Daddy Kane interview, as well.

Yeah, no, I get that they are comedians, and it's still enjoyable to listen to the interview, but seriously... it's like, do you know who you're talking to?!?! I guess it's kind of like Jackie Mason interviewing Jimi Hendrix. You get what you get.

Combat Jack show had an interview with Maseo where he talks about being a grandfather, opines on current hip hop, and gives perspective on what it was like for De La Soul when they were coming up. Haven't listened to the Champs interview yet so I don't know if this is redundant. But I do know that Combat Jack is very knowledgeable about rap history and has good questions/comments - he was there.

Thanks for sharing this. Just went to his site and it looks like there are a bunch of good interviews.

The only things I still craved were a few of the loosies in the Rarities and Remixes bundle (which I understand was pretty exhaustive), but I snoozed and missed it. Oh, well.
Very little seems to have been made of the fact that quite a bit of it appeared to have been sourced from janky Russian mp3 blogs. Also, a few notable Rap Twitter/music critic types - Noz, Craig Jenkins, Chris Weingarten, to name three - wondered out loud whether the simple matter of the freeness wasn't the real draw here. After all, it wasn't as if the entire De La catalogue hadn't always been available to anyone prepared to pay for it (or even do a torrent search).
