Tribe never had the impact on me that they had on many of yous. De La was more that group for me. I've said several times that I rank Tip's Renaissance above most Tribe albums. His production and rhymes have kept moving ahead. This is a blatant continuation of that. Plus, Cons and Bus killed their spots. Easily one of the year's best and one of Tribe's best albums.

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
The only thing that needs to be said is this album is better than The Love Movement. That's it. Enjoy it for what it is.

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
shits still great. this is a great project.
comparing tribe albums is all apples and oranges but my hot take is that this record is better than beats rhymes and life. i like every one of their other albums just as much as this but for different reasons

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
Obviously, this is an opinion I don't discredit yours just because your both Canadian and happen to be a homosexual, I just don't agree with it. And Steppin' It Up is better than anything off TLM. I would take Space Program, We The PPl, Disgeneration, Solid Wall of Sound and Ego over both Like It Like That and Find A Way FWIW.EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:"like it like that" & "find a way" are better than anything on wegotitfromherePhilaflava wrote:The only thing that needs to be said is this album is better than The Love Movement.

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
i actually agree that the album is better. my point is that there are redeeming tracks on love movement. few last glimmers of light before they got old and sad and let jarobi rap.
speaking of old & sad, are you that guy who awkwardly shoehorns "ya'll" into his sentences on the take it personal podcast?

i agree, jarobi has no place on the mic but it was a pitty favor. i hate 'ya'll" too but "you all" is not very hip-hop.

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
I actually listened to this album in full twice back to back while doing some work the other day (inspired by the Q-Tip Last Zulu Tweet) and after around 1.5 years, and not listening much over the last year or so, I really love this album. Just pressing play and letting it rock straight through is a pleasure to the ears. It's not a classic and not close to the first 3 obviously, but in 2018 or whatever year you listen, it will be timeless. That is what Tribe always delivered above all else. Music that works no matter what year you listen.

Re: New A Tribe Called Quest Album
All everyone's favorite 90's curators fell over themselves praising the album at the time, but it sucks to all who are "90's" guys and Hip Hop purists because it was a 2016 album sounding like guys in 2016 (who are eccentric to begin with and also 46 years old) instead of MM replayed. FOH If you haven't grown up over the last 20 years to appreciate your favorites making music 20-25 years later in THEIR own way based off who they are at that point and not who they were 25 years ago. Then don't listen to the next terrible Kool Keith album either. There are really dudes out here trying to tell me that a Kool Keith or Del record in 2018 is better than this Tribe album. LMAO Like I said it's not classic or even close to their prime shit obviously but unlistenable Clark? You must be bent G. It's not a Tribe album? It sounds way more like a Tribe album than either BR&L or TLM- but it's up for grabs if it is better than those. I'll give you that. But don't dismiss it.
