I Born in 1978 and i love De La Soul for ever

[@hardworkallday8512]

This is one of the greatest Hip Hop records ever made.

[@Karl671]

Yes

[@jeffward9548]

FR FR.

[@djRastaJohn]

and I was blessed to see De La Soul twice. Once I think right before this dropped and then a second time right when this came out, at the Stark Club, Dallas, TX.

[@metoo435]

Yes it is

[@DJKaBz1]

Yes indeed

[@TheMikeypop]

De la didn't make albums, they created masterpieces. 🙌

[@killakam3084]

Whoever the hell owns the masters to this classic piece of hip hop cannon...PLZ free it. Ridiculous that Stakes and 3 feet high are basically impossible to find in any digital format.

[@GREENDYNASTYMUSIK]

TOMMY BOY!!!!!

word, I just found out it's not on Spotify, then reminded myself of that fact.

[@kburton8600]

Possibly the most underrated hip hop album EVER.... classic

The rhymes on this album are still advanced to this day. This album came out the same day as Nas' It Was Written. I bought both albums but this one has stayed in my rotation 25 years later.

[@midlifechallenges3904]

I bought both too. This one here will never get old.

[@nelo914]

Bruh I love this album but it’s not better than It Was Written

[@Christopher0632]

@@nelo914 It Was Written is definitely a classic but very few 90s hip hop albums have aged better than this one.

This right here is one the greatest Records ever made>>> Timeless.... Still slaps ridiculous in 22. Thanks for the upload..My CD is wrecked.......1

Classic !!! Thanks Dilla...

[@samuelblinne6040]

Classic album

[@pfclouis77]

The fact that this album is not on streaming is criminal. Fuck Tommy Boy all day, everyday. I want an Ultra-4K, Doldy Atmos, surround sound, fucking Imax, remastered version of this when it finally happens.

[@randomthoth803]

Thank You for this gem

[@LL.ghoul.J]

This is the perfect hip hop album. Flawless from beats to bars

[@tonyjones7186]

I thought by now we could stream their music on all platforms. I need all the albums!

[@robinghosh2109]

“De La Soul is here to stay like racism” Poignant AF.

[@bluhjet]

Never made a comment on youtube until now. Thanks a million for putting this up. Personally my favorite hip hop album front to back of all time. "Laid back like grown folk, sippin' tea for sport."

[@BizzycardozaETA]

This album really had an affect on you like that?

[@bluhjet]

@@BizzycardozaETA for real Bizz. Again, just one man's opinion but I stick to what I said. Word is bond.

[@bobbyspencer7089]

Real hip hop ish. Absolute musical classic

[@nyrep1]

Why isn't this available streaming? Q-tip "industry rule number 4 thousand and eighty/record company people are shady"

[@dmercy8477]

My favorite De La Soul album and they produced this by themselves along with J Dilla. They proved they didn’t need Prince Paul to produce for them. I get how celebrated their first three albums are but this album is really underrated and to be honest got slept on when it dropped given it was released the same day as Nas’ classic sophomore album It Was Written. To me Stakes Is High is one of the best releases of this incredible year. 96 is one of the best years in hip-hop. So many legendary and essential releases. R.I.P. Trugoy

[@NYCLAURZA]

Thank you 💖🤜🎧🤛💖

[@mikeflores1500]

De las best album 💿 yes plz free this album to enjoy on streaming platforms

[@TheSteelerPirateFan]

What is amazing about De La Souls first 4 albums especially this one is that they drag you into the world with their production, like an amazing movie. This one makes you feel sad but with a strong dose of hope at the end of the tunnel. Many tracks on here are soulful and timeless

[@TheDistrict644]

I copped 2 new copies of this album in 2004, after losing it or it being snatched by brother. Every time I run up on classics like these in the thrift, I cop. In the late 90 and early 2000's a lot of cd exchange stores and businesses like it, went out of business and dumped a lot of their cd's at thrifts. You could find almost anything at 1.00 or .50 on half price days. Streaming took over and became the new format. Now, the cd has made a comeback, like the album, and its almost next to impossible to find the classics and just the best music I used to be able to find.

[@hodgy5610]

[@MrJeditwinz]

This was on Amazon Music in November and before you know it the damn album disappeared. Also...Amazon had the tracks out of order with "Intro" appearing halfway into the record. I am so glad this is here. Subbed just because this is here.

[@Neechy]

leave it to Amazon to mess up a good album lol

[@MrJeditwinz]

@@Neechy seriously. One of my all time favorites.

[@yuma420]

Probably the disappearance from Amazon is due to the ongoing legal battle with De La and Tommy Boy. Same reason why 3 Feet High and Rising isn't on Spotify. Read that it was close to being resolved last year, but still nothing. Glad it's here!

[@MrJeditwinz]

@@yuma420 problem is that Tommy Boy doesn't own their music any more. Another company bought it and said they would put it out. Might be sample issues again

[@ffeda]

Naughty by Nature was on Tommy Boy and their albums are in Spotify

[@m.henning7699]

Can anybody tell me another rapper who has used that sample that comes on after The Bizness. Or where I can find the instrumental It's 2023 and I'm still mesmerized by that sample since I heard it back in 96. The shyt is so dope I cannot for the life of me understand why nobody has rapped over it.

1994 a good year for hip hop for sure, also when i was born

Practically the last real hip hop album. You really feel the soul in it. Later De La Soul albums were ok. But just ok. With Stakes is High you were sure it’s timeless. This one was old skool from the beginning till this day!!
