While I agree that lyrically Tip and Phife can't really fuck with A and Boi, there is no doubt in my mind that the first 3 Tribe albums are superior as it pertains to the genre. Production is not even up for discussion. Importance to the genre? Also not up for discussion. Outkast is a much more popular group, however they did not gain that popularity until they made music designedf for the masses. They did a great job of it. It's easy to look back and say that things sound dated, but when you say "ever" you have to look at things objectively as everything is relative to the time period, even if you are looking at the genre as a whole. Of course, the arguments can be made from each side of the time continuum, however saying that the first 3 Outkast albums are greater than any other group in the history of the genre does a disservice to a great deal of groups. EPMD? De La? Tribe? NWA? The Geto Boys? Mobb?
Outkast is certainly in the discussion, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not mad that someone would think that, but to just say it as an outright fact is bold in my opinion.

The first 3 ATCQ albums > any hip-hop groups first 3 albums.
The first 2 Ice Cube solos > any single rappers first 2 albums.
Let's just agree with common sense and move on.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
I've always been a lyrics guy. I love Tribe's first 3 albums, and even some of their 4th album, but their lyrics always left a lot to be desired.
And I know you mentioned O'Shea, but you have to concede that regional bias does play a role here. I mean, if you ask a bunch of lifelong hip hop fans from Texas the same question a good chunk of them would not only pick The Geto Boys, but most of them wouldn't even mention Tribe at all.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
2 of my favorites. Love both but Outkast gets the nod because at least I'd get to hear a few female voices singing on hooks etc..More instrumentation. Mobb would be ideal for the yard, mess hall, gym and phone line. Kast would be more suitable at the domino table, working and kicking back in the cell.
Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
havoc is one of my personal "dude is underrated as fuck" rappers and producers
but outkast is musically so rich and creative. i am an east coast bias dinosaur and i still cannot pick mobb deep over outkast

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
Other than Tribe's debut, they don't have any albums that I want to listen to front to back anymore.
Low End Theory is just ... loungy and pretentious sounding now. You'd fully expect to hear some alt-dude bro philosophy major type douchebag playing it while slurping obscure coffee and pretending to read Nietzche while bemoaning his lack of basic bitch pussy.
Midnight Marauders is way too much fender rhodes happy sound, as Blockhead has pointed out. Most of the album sounds kind of silly and tepid at this point.
Just sayin'.

Basically, you have to be really in a certain mood to listen to tribe these days, whereas mobbs music is timeless and fits right in pretty nicely even in current times.
Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
Yep, seriously. Mobb Deep's sophomore album has aged better than any post-debut Tribe album, and is a better executed realization of Q-Tip's vision.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
As far as a bassy NY street sound where super hard drums are placed under tweaked obscure jazz fusion samples that you would never think could sound menacing, yeah The Infamous is better.
Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
Other than "We Can Get Down" and "Steve Biko" none of the tracks from Marauders get any burn from me these days.
I'd rather be mauled by leopard seals than have to hear "Electric Relaxation" ever again.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
As far as Outkast vs Mobb Deep, I think it might ultimately come down to your general music preferences.
If you really like the blues with your soul, Outkast is pretty much the best thing on earth.
If you're into jazzy-soul moods that have practically had all obvious blues influence ripped right out for effect, it's Mobb Deep all day.

Re: Outkast or Mobb Deep?
True but I'm not sure "Q Tip's vision" with Tribe was ever to make anything sound menacing.Thun wrote:As far as a bassy NY street sound where super hard drums are placed under tweaked obscure jazz fusion samples that you would never think could sound menacing, yeah The Infamous is better.
If anything he probably saw The Infamous as a chance to be involved in something that lyrically was the polar opposite of ATCQ.
Lyrics To Go (that Minnie Riperton sample) and Midnight still knock imo.
Anyway, thread aint about Tribe.
