The record
Title: De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1991, Hip Hop, Alternative East Coast Hip Hop, Long Island, New York 7/26
Matrix #: 4M902
Condition: VG++ (LM) | Members: Posdnuos (69' - Alive), Trugoy (68' - 23'), Maseo (70' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Trugoy spent years living with congestive heart failure before his death in 2023, adding real weight to a group whose humor often covered anxiety, exhaustion, and industry pressure.
- Album Art: The broken flowerpot killed off the bright D.A.I.S.Y. image from their debut, warning listeners that De La Soul refused to stay hip-hop’s harmless hippies.
- Studio Lore: Prince Paul built the album like a dark radio play, using skits, fake reviews, bullies, and inside jokes to attack fame, expectations, and the group’s own public image.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
