With an unprecedented act of generosity that makes Radiohead's infamous "pay what you can" plan look criminal by comparison, De La Soul, one of the greatest, most influential hip-hop groups of all time, are making their entire discography free to anyone with access to the internet. The offer is available for the next 24 hours. Simply visit their website, check the different boxes that correspond to the different albums you want (you might as well just click them all), and give them your first name and email address. That's it, no bullshit. Don't believe me? I got mine already, and I got it ALL (I even re-downloaded some of it that I already have for better sound quality, cause WHY NOT).
Today marks the 25th anniversary of their debut, 3 Feet High and Rising, famous for being the first true concept album in rap history, and for simply being an utterly incredible listen. Note that the email above also mentions their plans to release a new album in the near future entitled, You're Welcome. Fitting title. Thank you, De La Soul. Listen to "Eye Know," arguably the greatest love song in hip-hop history, below.
