Biography

De La Soul is an American hip-hop trio of Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo, formed in 1987 in the Amityville area of Long Island, New York. They are best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and contributions to the evolution of jazz rap and alternative hip-hop subgenres. The three formed the group in high school, catching the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'." With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, '3 Feet High and Rising', has been called "a hip-hop masterpiece." They are original members of the progressive collective known as the [a=Native Tongues], which includes [a=A Tribe Called Quest], [a=Queen Latifah], [a=Black Sheep], [a=Monie Love], and founding members the [a=Jungle Brothers]. Their output throughout the '90s, 1991's 'De La Soul Is Dead,' 1993's 'Buhoone Mindstate' and 1996's 'Stakes Is High,' while not as commercially successful as their debut, were all formative for hip-hop and are now widely considered cult classics. After 2004's critically acclaimed 'The Grind Date,' and winning a Grammy for their collaboration with [a=Gorillaz] on their single "Feel Good Inc." in 2006, De La Soul went on hiatus sans a few singles and an EP, returning in 2016 with the crowd-funded 'And the Anonymous Nobody.' In 2023, after years of legal battles over rights and ownership, De La Soul regained access to their back catalog from [a=Tommy Boy Records] and finally released their classic albums on streaming services and new reissues for the first time. Unfortunately, it was bittersweet after the death of original member Dave 'Trugoy' Jolicoeur, days before the release. Jolicoeur passed away at 54 after suffering from congestive heart failure diagnosed in 2017. Industry rumors suggest an untitled tenth album may be released with production from [a=Pete Rock] and [a=DJ Premier]. Individual aliases: [a=Dave Jolicoeur] AKA [a=Trugoy The Dove] / Plug Two / [a=Plug 2] [a=Kelvin Mercer] AKA [a=Posdnuos] / [a=Plug Won] / [a=Plug 1] [a=Vincent Mason] AKA [a=Pasemaster Mase] / [a=Maseo] / Plug Three

LYRICS

(Don't listen, feel the sound)
And King Cornelius defeated the terrible dragon
And all the people in the land were very happy
('Cause the dragon is dead)
No, no, let me finish the book (Oops, sorry, mommy)
And the people came to the king's side cheering, "Hooray, the sun has come out"
And the king began to sing

Just another day in the sun
I guess another day's begun
I ain't got nothin' to do
I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you
Just another day in the sun
I guess another day has begun
I ain't got nothin' to do
I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you

And you get me so high
Never could front on a day with some sunshine
And you get me so high
Never could front on a day with some sunshine

Sunshiny day, things you say make the clouds go away
And we've got it good (Yeah)
I can't wait to be with you again

I walk through the city real slow
Like I've been pieced together by that dude named Frankenstein
And I only got one little thing on my mind: that's a whole lot of you
Hot on my tail be a whole lot of crew
After me they (searching) with their pitchforks and stakes
Try to backstab but they can't grab your attention away from me and vice versa
Mama always said there'd be days like this
But never thought it'd be so soon
My days consume my thoughts of your kiss and your well-shaved legs
And pedicured toes with the sunny side up egg yellow when it glows
The twinkle from the diamond in your nose got me climbing for the star in the rough
Showing by in just cuspids, incisors, canines and molars
Smiling for your love as she bathe in the solar

And you get me so high
Never could front on a day with some sunshine
And you get me so high
Never could front on a day with some sunshine
(Sunshine, uh, uh, yeah)

Can I tell you about the sun? Could I make you believe
That in the summer when they burn it and we're not the leaves?
Look at me stayin' on green, keepin' the healthiest sheen
That's how our function could be, start this production with me
We come on time with a band (Harmony on all notes)
Music composed with a jam
(Ooh, the sun is shinin' on some) L-O-V-E, love
And that's word to Plug Two, to J.D. Dove
My nigga rhymed his ass off
And now heat reside way past Sunday
And we love sun, that's everyone
But can you let your hair down from that bun?
And shake right to left 'cause I love it long
Sun shinin' on you and your energy's strong
Shake it right to left 'cause I love it long
Sun shinin' on you and our energy's strong
Shake it right to left 'cause I love it long
Sun shinin' on you and our energy's strong

Just another day in the sun (Ah, ah)
I guess another day has begun (Ooh, ooh)
And I ain't got nothin' to do (Yeah-eah)
I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you, yeah

And you get me (Get me) so high
Never could front on a day with some sunshine
(I never could front on a day with some sunshine, no)
And you get me so high (So high)
Never could front on a day with some sunshine (No)

Mmm, you get me so high, get me so high (Sunshine)
Ain't got nothin' to do but wanna be with you
(Sunshine for sale) Yeah (Only five cents)
Come get your sunshine
