"Me Myself and I" is a song by American Hip-Hop trio De La Soul, released as a single in 1989 from their debut studio album, 3 Feet High and Rising. Released 1989 under Tommy Boy records, this song established the group's characteristic style of combining Hip-Hop with humor and social commentary. It was the group's only number one on the U.S. R&B Chart. The U.S. 12" single of "Me Myself and I" was released as a "3-sided single". Side 1 of the record plays like a normal record. Side 2 was mastered with "parallel grooves". Instead of one continuous groove, there are actually two different grooves on the record. Each time the listener plays the record, it may play something different from before. One groove would play two mixes of "Me Myself and I", while the other groove would play "Brain Washed Follower".

De La Soul is a Hip-Hop trio from Long Island, New York. Members included, Posdnuos or Pos (Kelvin Mercer, b.1969), Trugoy the Dove (David Jude Jolicoeur, b. 1968) and Maseo (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr., b. 1970). De La Soul is known for their quirky lyricism, diverse sampling, Jazz-Rap, and psychedelic Hip-Hop sound. Signed to Tommy Boy, their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, is known as "a Hip-Hop masterpiece” and listed in The Source as one of the "100 Best Rap Albums”.
