Throwback Thursdays: De La Soul's Press Kit circa 1989

23 years after its release, De La Soul's 1989 debut, 3 Feet High & Rising, still is as entertaining a listen as it was back in the day. The album certainly was unique for its time, turning upside-down the world's expectations of what hip-hop sounded and looked like.  A seven-minute electronic-press kit for the album has been making the rounds on YouTube for awhile now, but it somehow escaped our eyes until this week.

Marvel at how young The Plugs Three (and Prince Paul) look in this video and reminisce on the first time you wondered just how many feathers are on a Perdue chicken after the jump!
