A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Let me take you back to 1990: bands such as N.W.A. and PE rule the hip hop scene. The beats are raw, grimey, hard-hitting and chaotic. Along comes A Tribe Called Quest, with conscious lyrics. Only this is a totally different type of music. We have a large amount of jazz samples on this album. That combined with Q and Phife's flows gives you an instant classic.

If you have been listening to this music for a long time play this album and tell me what you think. You would probably say that the album is fresh, original and a great album. Guess what? This was recorded in 1991! That's 17 years and still blowing a lot of people's minds. That can only mean one thing: a classic that's passed the time test. And there is nothing really else to say. The album is perfect all way through. You can't say that any song here steps it down. Even the guest appearances are breath taking: from Diamond D to Sadat X to Leaders of the New School (Busta Rhymes). No more talking, bump this in your car right now!

When it comes to the greatest album by A Tribe Called Quest a lot of people discuss about it and cannot come up with a conclusion. I find this one the coolest. We have Q-Tip and Phife on the mic and Ali Shaheed Muhammad on the production. The album from both of the sides is great. Starting with production, we all now that it gave birth to jazz rap and revolutionarized beat making. Who could have done it better than the ones who made it up? Q-tip has such an original voice that you don't even need to listen to what he is saying. His smooth flow leads into such mood, that indeed, this fantastic record should be played only at night.
