PARIS, FRANCE - Hip-hop pioneers De La Soul are finally releasing their classic early hits on streaming platforms from Friday after decades-long battles over their samples.
De La Soul are well aware of the dangers of unlicensed sampling, having been at the centre of a landmark case in 1991 when little-known band The Turtles sued them for sampling one of their songs and won a reported $1.7 million. At one point in 2014 -- after they had reached a new generation of fans through their collaborations with Damon Albarn's Gorillaz and touring -- the trio even organised a free giveaway of their albums online.
