De La Soul’s David Jolicoeur, Who Rapped as Trugoy the Dove, Dies at 54

The trio expanded the stylistic vocabulary of hip-hop in the 1980s and ’90s, but its early experiments with sampling led to legal troubles, and the group’s longtime exclusion from streaming.

Long Island rapper’s word play and lyricism helped the group become legendary

Trugoy, who had recently been going by the name Dave, and was also known as Plug Two, had been open about his bout with congestive heart failure in recent years. In De La Soul’s 2017 «Royalty Capes» video, Trugoy candidly spoke about how his ailing health kept him from performing.

His death comes just weeks before De La Soul’s classic catalog is set to finally arrive on streaming and digital platforms on March 3

Their 1989 debut — the album 3 Feet High and Rising, peaking at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 24 on the Billboard 200 — featured the breakthrough single «Me Myself and I,» which topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, reached No. 34 on the Hot 100 and was nominated for a best rap performance Grammy. 3 Feet High and Rising is often cited as the start of what’s referred to as «alternative hip-hop.»

Over the course of their early albums, beginning with Three Feet High and Rising and continuing with De La Soul Is Dead in 1991, Buhloone Mindstate in 1993 and Stakes Is High in 1996, De La Soul became avatars for future generations of hip-hop nerds and geeks inspired by the group’s commitment to creativity and cleverness. Brooklyn’s Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), who also idolized De La Soul as a teenager, explained to me in 1999: «They weren’t just arbitrarily creative. They were really intense with mad thought and focus. [No one] thought hip hop could be like that.»

Tributes poured in on social media shortly after the news broke Sunday

«Dave! It was a honor to share so many stages with you,» wrote rapper Big Daddy Kane on Instagram.

BMI Remembers Rapper/Songwriter Trugoy the Dove of De La Soul

Trugoy, (a.k.a. David Jolicoeur), as one-third of the renowned Amityville, Long Island-based hip-hop trio, helped expand the parameters of the genre in the late ’80s and ’90s by infusing De La Soul’s playful, innovative music with elements of jazz and psychedelia, as well as setting a template via intricate wordplay and trailblazing use of samples.

Sadly, his death comes just weeks before the pioneering hip-hop group’s key catalog will finally become available on streaming services. Their 1989 album, «3 Feet High and Rising,» is universally recognized as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, but has been held back from streaming services due to longstanding legal battles over sample clearances and other matters.

Herz-satter Gegenentwurf zum Hass

Der «De La Soul»-Rapper Trugoy brachte mit seiner Band den Flausch und die Liebe in den Rap.

De La Soul rappten sanfter als ihre Zeitgenossen

Dass David Jude Jolicoeur seinen Künstlernamen einem weichen, fast flüssigen Lebensmittel und dem Symboltier für Frieden entlieh, sagt schon viel über die Position, die das Rap-Trio De La Soul Ende der Achtzigerjahre einnahm: Er nannte sich Trugoy The Dove (Joghurt rückwärts und Taube) und De La Soul standen für das «Daisy Age» – das Gänseblümchen-Zeitalter des Hip-Hop.

De La Soul ist eine der prägendsten Hip-Hop-Formationen der Geschichte. Das Trio gehörte zur «Native Tongues»-Bewegung, eine Spielart des Ostküsten-Raps, in dem vor allem das kulturelle Bewusstsein der Afroamerikaner im Zentrum stand. Zu dieser Richtung werden neben De La Soul auch A Tribe Called Quest und die Djungle Brothers gezählt. Das Trio De La Soul (womit einfach «from the Soul» gemeint ist) bestand aus Trugoy, Maseo und Posdnuos. Die Alben «3 Feet High and Rising» und «De La Soul is Dead» werden zu den großen Klassikern der Rapgeschichte gezählt. Die verspielte Virtuosität des Trios kam auf Stücken wie «Me, Myself and I» oder «The Magic Number» voll zur Geltung.

Die Hip-Hop-Kultur verliert mit Trugoy The Dove an Farbe. Er galt mit De La Soul als Frischzellen-Infusion in der grimmigen Branche

Dass die Kultur in einem einzigen Einheitsbrei von Klischees zu versinken drohte und jedes Rapvideo gleich aussah, stiess Trugoy sauer auf.
