Description: De La Soul. 1989. "The Magic Number" opens 3 Feet High and Rising, the record that cracked hip hop wide open. The hook is a sample of a sample: lifted from Double Dee & Steinski's Lesson 3 (History of Hip Hop Mix), 1985 — a record that taught hip hop how to sample. Steinski took it from a fake ad line in Robert Downey Sr.'s 1969 satire Putney Swope. Two landmark records, built on someone else's joke. Set in Lettro, rebuilt by hand — flourishes and swashes reworked until the base font barely shows. Dark green fill, white inline, two rings of green. Every My Type of Lyrics shirt carries a Spotify code. Scan it and the original plays. Instant. If you were there — you already know. If you weren't — scan the code first, then order the shirt.
