Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The De La Plugs created the D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inna Sound, Y'all) philosophy on their brilliant and weird debut, Three Feet High and Rising (making them the first--and probably only--hip-hop act to appropriate a Johnny Cash song for their album title). Then they tried to kill the Daisy with their follow-up, De La Soul Is Dead and then tried to find their way through the aftermath of that unnecessary act on Buh-Loone Mind State. Finally, a full three albums from their first, De La finds their footing with Stakes Is High. Here, they're no longer so self-conscious and it's easy to remember why you liked them enough in the first place to stick with them through the hard times. With unfaltering lyrical dexterity, they get to ask the question, "Whatever happened to the Emcees?" ("Super-Emcees"), skewer the industry ("The Bizness," with some help from that super MC, Common), and even shout out to their birthplace, Long Island, twice (on "Long Island Degrees" and the break-down-funky "Wonce Again Long Island"). --Todd Levin

One of the reasons why I love De La Soul is that no matter how much times may change in hip hop, especially with all of the commercialism and glamour that has taken over the mainstream in recent years....De La Soul will always stay true to its roots. Thus Stakes Is High is quite possibly one of their best releases to date. De La brings many issues to a head from the start of the album with track #2 - Supa Emcees, which shows Posdnuos explaining that everyone and their mother wants to be an MC nowadays and asks rappers about the direction in which their career is going. Unfortunately, De La Soul will never receive the mainstream attention and respect they deserve because they refuse to "sell out" to the glamour and glitz that has overpopulated mainstream hip hop in recent years. However, De La Soul still has the respect and love of the true hip hop fans and in knowing that, De La will continue to pump out that real hip hop.… (meer)
