De La Soul is a hip hop group based in Long Island, New York. The group is made of members, Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and P.A. Pasemaster Mase. The group was started around 1985 and is currently in the game to this day.
1984-1986: Gangster B and Everett Collins
In the mid 80s, Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos) and David Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove) were both childhood friends. They both met Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase) when they started to attend Amityville High School in Long Island, New York. De La Soul's early producer Prince Paul (member of the group Stetsasonic) stated that he went to the same school as them at the same time. At this time Prince Paul did not know that any of them emceed. Also around this time Vincent was a DJ for an MC named Gangster B. Vincent's music teacher Everett Collins signed the two to his own label, who also was a drummer for a group named Surface and toured with The Isley Brothers. He also worked with many other artists. At a party Prince Paul brought a drum machine. Prince Paul stated that, "the cool thing about that drum machine was you were able to reverse the beats and play 'em backwards. And so, you know, I programmed one part of it, and then played the next part backwards. And they were like, 'Yo! Do the whole beat backwards, like Paul Revere!' I'm like, 'No! That's biting, and biting is a crime!' But they went 'Do it! Do it!' I did it, and it sounded horrible. Mase had seen me all miserable and he was taking sides with me! So Mase came to me and said, 'Look, I got a group, they're called De La Soul - there's two emcees and I'm the DJ. And that's my real group. Whatever you wanna do, we'll do it.' I guess because they respected me because I was the one guy in the neighborhood who made records."
1986-1988: "Plug Tunin'" demo
Around the end of 1986, Vincent (now officially P.A Pasemaster Mase) brought a 4-track demo of "Plug Tunin'" over to Paul's house. Prince Paul was very surprised at the potential of the group. The original 4-track was very stripped down, and Paul dubbed in some new beats and a Billy Joel sample. Prince Paul and the group later went to the studio and started to make 24-tracks. The main sample used in "Plug Tunin'" was from Kelvin's father's own music collection. Prince Paul asked Daddy-O (also a member of Stetsasonic) if he wanted to help produce it, but turned it down for sounding too much like Ultramagnetic MCs. Jungle Brothers member, Afrika Baby Bam was introduced to the group when he found another demo cassette of "Plug Tunin'" in DJ Red Alert's room. The cassette has a big blue sticker with "De La Soul" written on the front. At first he assumed the group was a Latino group but then listened to it and started to like it.
