De La Soul
 I De La Soul sono Posdnuos (all'anagrafe Kelvin Mercer), nato il 17 Agosto 1969); Trugoy the Dove (David Jude Jolicoeur, nato il 21 Settembre 1968); Pasemaster Mase (Vincent Mason, nato il 27 Marzo 1970). Il trio si forma mentre i conponenti frequentano il liceo, alla fine degli anni '80. Il loro demo tape, "Plug Tunin'", salta subito all'occhio di Prince Paul, produttore e leader degli Stetsasonic. Questi permette al gruppo di avere un contratto con la Tommy Boy Records, e produce il loro album di debutto, "3 Feet High And Rising", che esce nella primavera del 1989. Il gruppo predica ideali di fratellanza e pace, e non ci vuole molto perchè le malelingue lo etichettino come una new-hippie band. Divengono presto i capisaldi di una corrente rap alternativa, a cui aderiscono anche gli A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, i Jungle Brothers e Monie Love. Questi artisti si etichettano come "Native Tongues Posse". Il singolo "Me, Myself And I" dell'albuim dei De La Soul entra presto nella top 40 della classifica pop degli U.S. e raggiunge il numero 1 di quella R&B, diventando disco d'oro. Per aver usato alcuni campioni dei Turtles, gruppo musicale degli anni '60, i De La Soul si trovano in un periodo di processi e cause per il possesso di proprietà dei suoni. Nella primavera del 1991 il secondo album dei De La Soul vede la luce: "De La Soul Is Dead". Esordisce al numero 26 dlla classifica pop degli U.S., al numero 24 di quella R&B. Il singolo è "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)", al numero 22. Questo secondo LP gode di fama minore rispetto al precedente. Nel 1993 esce il terzo lavoro: "Buhloone Mindstate". Si rivela un fiasco; solo il singolo "Breakadawn" riesce ad entrare nell' R&B top 40. Nel 1996 è la volta di "Stakes Is High", quarto LP che riceve buone critiche ma che non brilla eccessivamente. Quattro anni dopo esce "Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump". Entra nella top 10.
