"Listen . . . to what the flower people rap! At the close of the ’80s, De La Soul popped up with boldly goofy alternative hip-hop, spilling satirical whimsy over Prince Paul’s sample-crazed production. Likewise, for better or worse, 3 Feet High and Rising made the between-songs “skit” a hip-hop staple. Standout tracks: “Me, Myself and I,” “Potholes in My Lawn”"

"Ushering in the Daisy Age with a smile and a wink, this was a refreshing hip-hop debut. Positivity in rap never became common, but listening to this album’s cheery bounce and mind-bending samples, you have to wonder why not. Standout track: “Eye Know” "
