De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead Era Rarities (1991-1992)

Posted: 19 Jun 2009 04:00 AM PDT

This is, without question, the weakest era for De La Soul remixes & b-sides. Of course, a full 100MB volume of "Saturdays" and "Keepin' The Faith" might look legendary in comparison to whatever they're doing nowadays, but hey, even James Brown fell the fuck off at some point.

Volume 2 is a mandatory download, though. Check the audio samples for "De La Slow" "De La's Poster", "Roadrunner", and "Scenario". I get the feeling that they have a ton of 1991-1992 era material in the vaults; these guys were some serious workaholics, as indicated by the sheer amount of non-album tracks that were churned out during the "3 Feet High & Rising" sessions.
