Plug 1 & Plug 2 Present First Serve

This album is absolutely fantastic!

De La brings a breath of fresh air. This is a unique concept album. Much like a Masta Ace LP, First Serve is a complete story from beginning to end (Including introductions and closing credits). I can honestly say that there is not one skipworthy song. The album also is a throwback in a way, if you miss the funny skits that De La used to put on thier albums.

Dove's delivery is FIRE on most of the tracks and Pos continues to prove that he is one of the best-skilled emcees in the game. This is a different De La and it's pretty funky. The only thing missing is Plug 3, who decided to sit this one out, but still very much a part of the group.

The album is definatly worth coppin'

De La Soul is not to be fucked with!

Pretty sure there's already a thread for this, but, yeah, I've heard nothing but good things

I may be in the minority on this, and although I'm a long time De La fan, I didn't care for this album at all. I'm all for concept albums, but not this one.

Well you know it must be dope if I like it. I purchased it also so that should tell you even more. I don't hold De La to high standards or have high expectations for them so i'm sure that is part of the reason I like it.

I'm going to check it out on Spotify...

You really can't hold any artist to high standards these days.

But 1st Serve is definately one of the year's best.
