From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
3 Feet High and Rising is the influential debut album from American hip-hop trio De La Soul, released in 1989.
The album marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. It's consistently placed on 'greatest albums' lists by noted music critics and publications. Robert Christgau called the record "unlike any rap album you or anybody else has ever heard." In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums.
A critical, as well as commercial success, the album contains the group's best known songs such as "Me Myself and I", "Buddy", and "Eye Know". On October 23, 2001, the album was re-issued along with an extra disc of hard-to-find B-side tracks, and alternative versions. The album's title is taken from a line in a Johnny Cash song called "Five Feet High and Rising".
