3 Feet High and Rising (2xLP, Yellow Vinyl)

De La Soul's 1989 debut invented a mode of hip-hop that felt like nothing before it. The playfulness, the sampling approach, the game show conceit woven through the record, all of it was new and most of it was never repeated with the same freshness. For decades the album was impossible to find on streaming or physical media due to unresolved sample clearances.
