And the anonymous nobody

"Financed by a Kickstarter campaign, constructed over breaks and beats mined from more than 200 hours of jamming by a live band, and stuffed with guest stars (Snoop Dogg, Damon Albarn, Jill Scott), And the Anonymous Nobody sometimes risks losing Posdnuos, Dave and Maseo in their own record. Tracks like the loopy "Snoopies" (with David Byrne) and old-school throwdown "Whoodeeni" (with 2 Chainz) are glorious bug-outs, but the urban cautionary tale "Greyhounds" (echoing Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City," with Usher on the hook) is a reminder that De La are often more powerful when they're less goofy - and that their greatest strength has always been not caring what hip-hop is supposed to sound like".

"... De La Soul's return with this sparkling, multi-faceted comeback album. It's a work which tries to simultaneously grasp history - "Property Of Spitkicker.com" offers reflections on their own pioneer status, while "Pain" broadens the discourse to discuss black struggle from "the back of the bus to the house at the top of the hill" - and forge a route to the future, through ambitious arrangements and intelligent, imaginative raps. A whole load of guests are along for the ride, including Snoop Dogg, Usher, 2Chainz, Damon Albarn and David Byrne, the most intriguing result of which is the inexplicably moving "Drawn", featuring Little Dragon".

"De tre løsgående rappere er stadig fulde af rytmer med runde hjørner, dybe puder af ord at synke ned i, og musikalsk på legesyg zigzag-kurs ... Det er tre veteraner med fantasien intakt, der stempler ind i 2016".
