The skit is one of the many innovations De La Soul brought to rap. I am not sure if 3 Feet High and Rising's skits were the first, but they were the first that became a distinct and important part of the album. De La Soul and Prince Paul wanted the album to feel cinematic, so they added an overarching plot between tracks. Then De La Soul Is Dead perfected the skit (though the music is less consistent).
