The legendary Long Island trio have been thrust back into the spotlight after their 1989 hit “The Magic Number” taken from their seminal debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, from the same year was featured in the new Marvel blockbuster Spider-Man No Way Home The song, which borrows its infectious hook from Bob Dorough’s “Three Is a Magic Number,” plays during the movie’s closing credits and (spoiler alert) nods to the appearance of all three modern-day Peter Parkers in the film: Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. The song’s big-picture look has lead to a whole new generation of fans discovering De La Soul, with “The Magic Number” casting its earworm spell on listeners who weren’t even born when Posdnuos, Trugoy and Maseo broadened Hip Hop’s horizons with their bohemian grooves. But as Spidey fans have been flocking to their favorite streaming service to spin “The Magic Number,” they’ve been left disappointed after realizing the song is nowhere to be found.
