"We was just three spaced kids who felt like we was doing something special,” Trugoy the Dove (Dave Jolicoeur), one-third of pioneering Long Island rap trio De La Soul, told Apple Music in 2018. “It felt good to stand out, but we were immersed in what hip-hop was at that time-the culture, the music, everything.” The fact that Trugoy passed away in February 2023, mere weeks before De La Soul’s catalog finally became available on streaming, dampened what should have been a celebration decades in the making.
Now, watch the last interview De La Soul did all together-with Ebro in 2018.

I’m 63 years old and have been a fan for over 30 years (!). I have been streaming them every day since the catalog got released. I was so excited when they announced it. Massive cosmic unfairness to take Dave away. RIP 🕊️ Much love to the De La Soul family.❤

Two things: Rest in peace Dave (1968-2023). I thank The Creator for putting on this earth and making an impact on my life as 1/3 of the iconic group, De La Soul. Thank you. Second: I did not see any comments paying homage to Ultramagnetic MCs. When they dropped in 1986 with "Ego Tripping", their rhyme style and scheme helped the changed the trajectory of rap music. Mad respect to Ced Gee and Kool Keith aka "Dr. Octagon", as well as Moe Love and T.R. Love.

Im guessing most people watching this have waited for what seems like a lifetime to hear this freely again. Just like in our youth. It's beautiful and tragic to arrive here now, without Dave. The music sounds fresh as ever. Groundbreakingly fresh. 3 Feet High and Rising. 1 hour and 3 minutes of pure hip hop creativity without ego, hate or violence created by 3 kids (and PP) from Long Island. Mindblowing. I felt happy and inspired after listening to the full album today. I can't wait to dive into the rest. RIP Trugoy the Dove! Peace to Mase and Pos! This music is a gift to the world!

I was always a music and rap lover. I searched for great albums/artists. These legends have always been atop my list and I never could hear their albums and kinda didn’t want to because they told everyone not to. It was a joyous several months leading up to last week, Dave passed. RIP. I would finally be able to play all their albums guilt free. And now it’s bitter sweet. My discomfort is nothing compared to the die hard fans and more importantly Dave’s group members, family and friends. 🙏🏾

One thing nobody ever touches on with these LEGENDS is how good their live shows were. They were by far one the best hip hop concerts I have ever been to. I saw them a few times. I remember seeing them at a little place called the Magic Bag and they split the crowd and had the crowd wilding out trying to outdo each other. At one point they stop the show and asked everyone to join them in prayer. Absolutely LEGENDS!!!

@freehahahafree Жыл бұрын

The release of the De La catalog on streaming services feels like it was done deliberately to help us all mourn yet at the same time celebrate the life of Trugoy. I obviously realize it was coincidental but I can’t help but feel there’s a message in the timing. De La Soul and the Native Tongue Family are in my opinion responsible for the best time period in hip hop history. Their music and their message changed rap and their influence on future artists is undeniable.
