Bringing back that classy jazz rap they made so famous in the early ’90s is De La Soul, busting out with their witty lyrics and samples. Aiming to keep hip-hop free of violence and full of peace, De La Soul used their albums as their way of getting the word out. As a result, they’ve achieved status as hip-hop greats, and many of their albums are listed as top hip-hop albums of all time. (CQ) (source: nitevibe.com)
