Title: Don't do as De La does.
Product review: This was the most disappointing album I've heard in a long time. And don't think I was hoping they'd be remaking another 3 Feet High or De La Soul is Dead. I was hoping they'd grown. Stakes Is High gave promise of a change, and that change has come. Too bad it's a severe digression. There is no longer anything that sets De La Soul apart from the ubiquitous hip-hop garbage that rules the radio airwaves in teenagers rooms. With groups like Blackalicious, Jurrasic 5, and Kool Keith's many incarnations, why couldn't De La come up with something at least as original as these? The answer, I'm afraid, is that they are tired of being creative and ready to start making some money.Reading the sleeve of this album, I noticed they plan to "remix and remaster" 3 Feet High & Rising. If they ruin that monumental album with anything close to the throw-away work done on Art Official Intelligence, they will also ruin all credibility they've ever had.
