De La Soul Is Expressionless is the 2d studio album by American hip-hop grouping De La Soul, released on May xiv, 1991.[11] The album was produced by Prince Paul, whose work on iii Feet Loftier and Ascension was highly praised by music critics. The album was 1 of the first to receive a five-mic rating in the Hip hop magazine The Source;[9] and the album was also selected as one of The Source'southward 100 Best Rap Albums in 1998.[12] The album's cover refers to the death of the "D.A.I.S.Y."

Overview [edit]

The album features a serial of separate, ongoing skits. The introduction to the album features Jeff, a teenage character (introduced in the B-sides to "Eye Know" and "Me Myself and I": "Encephalon Done Follower," "The Mack Daddy on the Left," and the rare "Double Huey Skit"). In a parody of old children'due south book-and-record read-along sets, Jeff finds a cassette tape copy of a De La Soul album in the garbage. Bullies announced, beat upwards Jeff, and steal the tape. Ensuing skits feature these bullies harshly criticizing the songs on the album. Mista Lawnge of Black Sheep provides the vocalisation of the lead adversary, while P.A. Pasemaster Mase voices the other bully who gets ridiculed and abused past Lawnge for his admiration of the album. Throughout the skits, the sound of the betoken that lets the reader know that it's time to turn the page is heard. In the end, they throw the record dorsum in the trash, exclaiming, "De La Soul is dead." The anthology besides introduces a fictional radio station called WRMS that plays zippo but De La Soul music.

In 2008 the album was re-released on vinyl without the CD version's bonus tracks.
