De La Soul is a Grammy-award winning hip hop group from Long Island, New York. They are best known for their eclectic sampling and quirky, surreal lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap subgenre. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Paul Huston (Prince Paul) with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". Prince Paul was also sometimes referred to as Plug Four. They also have their own Nike SB Dunks Called the "De La Souls."

With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, was hailed as a hip hop masterpiece. It is also the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving praise from critics. The group has influenced numerous other hip hop artists such as Camp Lo, Black Eyed Peas, and Digable Planets, as well as Australian hip hop group the Hilltop Hoods. They were also instrumental in the early stages of rapper/actor Mos Def's career, and are a core part of the Spitkicker collective. They are the longest standing Native Tongues Posse group, after the Jungle Brothers.

    LA Posse in the news

    ... struck a plea bargain with cops, leaving the once-shifty QB an opening to play the, "I didn't know it was a bad idea to let an inebriated person drive my car" defense. Yah Steve, we'll buy that one. He must have picked that one up from one of Ray-Ray's sideline sermons--What? Is letting your posse knife some dude "murder"? I don't think so...

    They have just met IN REAL LIFE car park with posse and hell breaks loose. Careful who you piss off! Watch the drama unfold LIVE! Main event yet to come. MMA v.s Kung Fu in car park as support act!

    In yet another case of superstar athletes having a little too much fun , Allen Iverson has been ordered by a court to pay one of two men who claimed to be beaten up by his posse.
