The
album
title
came
from
the
Johnny
Cash
song
"Five
Feet
High
and
Rising".
It
is
listed
on
Rolling
Stone's
200
Essential
Rock
Records
and
The
Source's

Best
Rap

When
Village
Voice
held
its
annual
Jazz
&
Pop
Critics
Poll
for
1989,
3
Feet
High
and
Rising
was
ranked
#1.
It
was
also
listed
on
the
Rolling
Stone's
The
500
Greatest
Albums
of
All
Time.
Released
amid
the
1989
boom
in
gangsta
rap,
which
gravitated
towards
hardcore,
confrontational,
violent
lyrics,
De
La
Soul's
uniquely
positive
style
made
them
an
oddity
beginning
with
the
first
single,
"Me,
Myself
and
I".
Their
positivity
meant
many
observers
labeled
them
a
'hippie'
group,
based
on
their
declaration
of
the
'D.A.I.S.Y.
Age'
(Da.
Inner.
Soul.
Yall).
Sampling
artists
as
diverse
as
Hall
&
Oates,
Steely
Dan
and
The
Turtles,
3
Feet
High
and
Rising
is
often
viewed
as
the
stylistic
beginning
of
1990s
alternative
hip
hop
(and
especially
jazz
rap).
An
absolutely
essential
slice
of
Hip
Hop
history
that’s
been
unavailable
for
some
time.
