Got a bit teary-eyed myself... Like, do you remember when hip-hop was art? I do. Skinny teen, early '90s, beaten down cassette deck, in some basement or garage, eyes and mouth wide open, listening to, well - this... good times. Pushing 50 now, still moves me.

I got a little teary when Pos did Dave’s verse. 🥺

What we just witnessed right here is literally Hip-Hop history. That was one of the most creative performances of all time. Showing us that Hip-Hop can be fun and highly artistic 🖼️

🥲I had tears in my eyes when he introduced Plug 2. We need more De La Soul in our world right now: Native Tongues rule! Eye Know had to be chosen to flex about finally winning their long-fought battle over sample clearances… IYKYK 🦶🦶🦶

You're the man, and De La Soul is FOREVER!!

Absolutely beautiful. RIP Dave, we miss your colors daily, but your spirit lives within your family, your brothers, your fans and Hip-Hop itself.

I'd like to apologize for my younger self, who was 100% convinced there would be no way for a rapper to be cool after 50. Most of them aren't, to be fair, but these dudes prove me wrong!

Great to see Prince Paul aka Plug 4.

Me in 1989, a younger NZ middle class white boy, jamming to this on my Sony cassette Walkman every damn day. Thanks De La Soul and RIP Trugoy.

Early March 1989 my bro returned to NZ from a trip to NYC and gave me 3 Feet High and Rising on cassette, it had only come out in the USA a couple of days earlier. I think I dubbed about 20 copies of that tape for friends, it wasn't available in NZ until quite a few weeks later initially as an import.

Oh man dude.. You hit the nail on the head!! Lol

Clever cooking bit. Was listening w me, myself, and I..

I absolutely love Eye Know. What a fantastic performance!

Good to see that the other original member of the De La crew is back in the fold. Especially considering that Prince Paul was the architect of the De La Soul sound on their 1st three iconic albums

De La Soul ... a reminder of sunnier times. Let's channel those beats and change the world y'all.

De La Soul - nothing but smiles & good vibes. CLASSIC

Prince Paul doesn’t get enough love! HBMS is the on another level!

Love De La Soul, real awesome, great hip-hop that was something special back in the day, no gang-banging with explicit lyrics; just great sounds with a message, good to see they haven't lost their touch after all these years. Also great work with the Gorillaz on Feel Good Inc.

Happy anniversary 3 Feet High and Rising. Thank you Dave

That was cool, so inventive, just like their music! That takes me back.. 35 years! Wow. Gave me goosebumps and a big smile! Still have the original 12" of this single, I'm gonna put it on.

What an awesome performance! One of my favorite songs ever! RIP PLUG 2 Trugoy !!!!! ETERNAL

The whistles started and I got goosebumps. Sounds of my teenage years❤❤❤❤❤

The world needs lots of this right now.

Oh, I remember the very day we received this nugget at our office. All the employees got crazy with it instantly overnight and it was played at full volume all day long in the warehouse for quite a while.

De la soul is the reason I fell in love with hip hop. It was this album, and ever since I’ve been hooked on rap music. East coast, West coast down south! I luv it all, but it started with De La soul. This performance was so creative as always! Rest in peace Dave🙏🏾

De-La Soul & Prince Paul, I owe you for oh so many smiles, for turning dark days bright. David/Trugoy the Dove, rest in power, a legacy to be proud of and one that will continue to lift people up when they are down and get their heads nodding and their asses shaking. Nothing but love. Nothing but love.

I love heavy sampling; it's sad that music like that can't be made anymore. Damn corporations.

It can be, it just requires lots of money to be exchanged. Which might be the right thing for the original artists, but only if they see any of it.

Nice to see Prince Paul there!!

Dope to see them with Prince Paul 🏆 RIP Plug 2 Dave

I was a senior in college when this album came out, and played the tape until the oxide fell off. 35 years later I've been listening to it in my office all week celebrating the anniversary.

that was class!

Miss you, Trugoy the Dove! I will always rep for the Soul!

Wonderful performance. One of the best love rap songs of all time. RIP Trugoy.

Daisy Age in full effect!! I luv this! ❤ De La for life. RIP 🕊️

REAL HIP HOP LIVES!! SHOUT OUT TO THE GODS!! #DELA

I was 17 when this came out. Time flies and man, what a life. Rest in paradise Plug ✌️!

my favorite de la song, what a creative way to play it, rest in peace to dove

I wasn't born when this song came out. My dad had the vinyl the day it released in the UK. When I was 13 he passed it onto me, as well as albums from people like KRS One and Jungle Brothers. This music changed my life. Hip-Hop changes lives, and will always be a reminder to me how cool my Dad is. Emotional watching this. RIP DAVE. De La Soul forever.

The way they illustrated the beat was. Masterful the Eye Know stew is DELICIOUS

You guys are adorable, in the most masculine and wonderful way. Balm for the soul.

Nothing beats De La, so happy get to hear their music digitally again, and Damn Plug1 you still got it! We miss you Trugoy

Loved it, old school rap that was about conveying a message and not shooting people with a gun.

Pretty sure some old school rap had references to shooting and guns. Mostly, it was railing against it because of how destructive it was to the Black community.

This album changed everything for me when I was 13, and this song has remained my favorite De La Soul song ever. Fantastic!

❤I have loved this group for such a long time, they are AWESOME 💖😎

That intro was dope. I loved every second of this!

This is how it is done! De La Soul is still cookin'.

Man these guys were my entrance to hip hop back 1989. I was 9 and absolutely captivated. Trugoy 😔

That was just so awesome ❤ Made.me.smile and giggle, remembering those easier good times with De La Soul in the 90's 😎

I love this but I'm so sad right when they get their publishing back, right when all these anniversaries and good things are happening, Dave had to pass. Rest in power to the one and only Dove 🕊️

this is why i love Colbert ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Still Amazing after all these years, all around. Can't believe it's been 35 years. Love to all reading this ❤️

This was awesome. They still pop up on a couple of my Pandora stations.

3 Feet High is one of my all-time top 5 albums, and I'm not even a big hip hop fan in general. That record NEVER gets old, in fact as time goes by I feel like I "get" it in ways I didn't before.

THANK YOU for bringin it! Wonderful creative concept with the cooking set up. Glad to see y'all in action. You are icons. Blessings!

I needed this. 🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️

True story: 3 Feet High and Rising was the first piece of music I ever owned when, for Christmas as a kid, I asked for the cassette tape (no CD's yet in my household). I wanted the record as I had heard Say No Go on the radio and was blown away. My parents bought it and I played it over and over and over. Thus began my lifetime love of Hip Hop. That album had a song called DeLa Orgy and I was so scared my mom would hear it and take the cassette away, lol.

Relaxed, cool, and savvy to the format. Awesome!

prince paul and gravedigaerz

De la Soul still groundbreakers in live performance. Salute the Legends💯💯💯💯

This performance took me back and warmed my heart ❤️👑🎼🎧

That was amazing. So ready for these guys to do a victory lap.

This is the happiest song in Hip Hop

🔥🔥🔥🔥 too much fire 🔥 I miss these days. Glad Prince Paul was there. Legendary 🔥🔥 keep going RIP Dove

Its awesome how they were interacting with the audience rarely happens with live performances on talk shows
