1991 Sophomore Album Reissued on Double LP!

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 228/500!

Bringing a sound and energy unlike any other, De La Soul quickly became one of the most revered, game-changing artists in hip-hop and forever cemented their legacy in the hearts and minds of fans around the world. Despite their rapid success and recognition, De La Soul continued to prove themselves as one of the most original, authentic and creative groups in hip-hop on May 14, 1991 with the release of their sophomore album, De La Soul is Dead.

Featuring, once again, the production of visionary producer Prince Paul, their second album further fanned the flames, landing on charts around the world. "A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays," "Ring, Ring, Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" and "Keepin' the Faith" have become certified classics in the De La Soul catalog.

The cover of De La Soul's second album — an overturned flowerpot of dead daisies — was as subtle as a sledgehammer. After the sunny 3 Feet High and Rising, the confrontationally pessismsitic De La Soul Is Dead was a shock; songs dealt with sexual assault ("Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa") and drug abuse ("My Brother's a Basehead," based on member Posdnuos' brother's crack addiction). But the fun wasn't totally over (see "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays'") and producer Prince Paul gave the dense LP a sample-delic flow.
