Thanks for these posts!
I am listening to De La Soul is Dead right now after reading. I had it on cassette and honestly forgot that I listened to it a TON when it came out. Was a diff time in my life and listening now I know the whole thing and the skits too.
I think I might still have it behind my stack of recorded Mini Discs...
(also this mp3 ver I just got of DLSID has extra tracks the cassete did not have I am pretty sure)
