About
Long Island's Plug 1 (Posdnuos), Plug 2 (Trugoy the Dove) and Plug 3 (Maseo). '3 Feet High and Rising' (1989) cracked hip-hop's daisy age open with one of the most-imitated sample-collages of all time and a Prince Paul production approach that's still a touchstone. 'De La Soul Is Dead,' 'Buhloone Mindstate' and 'Stakes Is High' are sacred underground texts. After a decades-long sample-clearance fight kept their catalog off streaming, it finally landed in 2023 — Trugoy passed weeks before. The catalog is permanent; the loss isn't done.
