If You Had Issues Downloading De La Soul’s Free Catalog 25 Hour Giveaway, Plug 2 Has Something To Say (Audio)
Did De La Soul truly anticipate the groundswell reaction to their late week announcement of plans to give away the bulk of their long Internet-shy catalog for free? Possibly not, but who could have, when Posdnous, Dave, and DJ Maseo’s works drove Internet discussion and prompted a premature 25th anniversary celebration since they kicked down musical and lyrical doors (with Prince Paul) on 3 Feet High And Rising.
While the D.A.I.S.Y. homies didn’t break the Internet, they ran into some technical issues, from slow download times to The Grind Date being omitted. Well, for a group with so much character in the lyrics (heard “Trying People” lately?), Dave stepped forward to talk ear-to-ear with fans, and apologize:
How do you think the positives of the weekend, 25-hour celebration helped the Strong Island trio?
