as a huge de la fan i dont know how to answer that lol

it is not the first album from them that i would recommend. i do enjoy it but some huge de la fans think its trash. my best advice is dont assume you know de la based on any one album.

i would say starting with any of their first 4 would be the best bet depending on what style of music you like.

3 ft high and dead are kind of the de la sound that you would expect from their early singles.

buhloone was a switch in direction. very jazzy yet..i dont know how to explain it. its concise, its fun, its aggressive.

stakes and both AOIs are kind of the late 90s early 2000s underground sound.

grind date was a nice blend of what was current at the time while keeping it hiphop.

anonymous is kind of an indie rap sound. mostly hiphop with some gorillaz sound in there.

i might have a hook up for the tommy boy albums if youre interested
