... especially their first 3 albums, that it will be fresh and new to the younger generations. On top of just the fact that their name has always been so prevalent in hop hop circles no matter whether their music was available or not, and the fact that their name has been in the news lately for what you describe above.
I really think (and hope to god, for their sake .. they deserve it on a million levels) that their music will resonate with a ton of younger people who'd never heard their discog before. They really are that timeless, and that unparalleled in my opinion. For example hip hop these days isn't 3 verses and a bridge/hook. De La was and is so innovative that I think that will resonate with kids who like the current style of hip hop being released, because they were always unorthodox compared w/their peers as well.
