Shaking off initial reputations is the curse of many artists (and mathematicians?). De La Soul found themselves labelled hip hop's hippies after the release of their first album and they have spent 30 years trying to shake it off. Mind you, they did claim they were transmitting live from Mars and rapped a lot about peace and harmony.
So in deference to their wish to be thought of as more than that first album, here is the biggest hit from that album. Peace and love.
