De La Soul

De La Soul is an American hip hop trio formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York. The band is best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. The members are Posdnuos, Dave and Maseo. The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, has been called "a hip hop masterpiece."

It is the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving high praise from critics. They were influential in the early stages of rapper/actor Mos Def's career, and are a core part of the Spitkicker collective. They are the second longest standing Native Tongues Posse group, after the Jungle Brothers. In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc."

Early life

He received a gold medal on his graduation. He married Inés Pertiné, a Buenos Aires socialite, in 1970, and had three children, including Antonio de la Rúa. De la Rúa became involved in politics at a young age, and entered public service in 1963 as an advisor to President Arturo Illia's minister Juan Palmero.

He was elected senator in the March 1973 general elections, defeating the Peronist Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo in a ballotage. He was the only politician from the Radical Civic Union (UCR) who could defeat the Peronist candidate at his administrative division. The elected president Héctor José Cámpora resigned a few months later, as well as his vicepresident, leading to the call to new elections. Ricardo Balbín ran for president in the september general elections, with De la Rúa as candidate to vicepresident under his ticket. The UCR was defeated by Juan Perón by a landslide. De la Rúa was removed from the Congress during the 1976 Argentine coup d'état. He left politics, and worked as a lawyer for the Bunge y Born firm.
