Reviews (page 10 of 14)
Heel nice
This shit is fireeeeeeeee
beautiful, no skips
Best example of the type available. Smooth and melodic - just great.
Is there such a genre as ‘dinner party hip-hop’?
Winner winner chicken dinner. The samples, scratching, words and general vibe even put me in a good mood. Blows the rivals out of the water and giving it a genre busting 5 stars.
Cannot get enough Tribe. Giant love. 90's hip-hop put the foundations down for the genre for decades to come. Amazing.
Good songwriting, the bass had some notable groove in some spots. I thought the Low End Theory was a better album all around.
I mean, A Tribe Called Quest are just awesome. Favourite tracks: Push It Along, After Hours, Footprints, Bonita Applebum.
Funny und mega gueti beats (vorallem für 1990)

Not a Q Tip fan but this fine otherwise.
Nice use of different instruments. Even if hip/hop is not really my taste in music.
I enjoyed this mix of old-school beats / music and the easy-to-understand rapping. Very chill.
I never really liked the later albums by A Tribe Called Quest, so I was expecting to hate on this one. I had only heard a couple of the tracks from it before, but encouragingly, they were the few tracks I actually liked by this group. Turns out I loved this album, I enjoyed the samples, the flow, the production, the lyrics. It just all felt fresh and much better than anything they did on their later albums. It was good enough for the full 5 stars.
4 stars
My first time listening to an album that sounded like that. Not usually my type of music, but I actually liked this one.
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would - it's not really my thing. Youthful Expression was my favourite.
I’m not in the business of giving Tribe albums less than 5 stars. Sublime.
Solid, but not my favorite of ATCQ's albums.
Very De La Soul
Easygoing vibe, with masterful sampling choices, smooth flow, clever lyrics, and a healthy dose of whimsy. What's not to like? Front to back, a really delightful album. I'm thinking about the alternate universe where this became the dominant voice in hip hop and man, we're missing out. Fave Songs (All songs, from most to least favorite): Can I Kick It?, Bonita Applebum, Go Ahead in the Rain, Mr. Muhammad, Rhythm (Devoted to the Art of Moving Butts), Description of a Fool, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Luck of Lucien, Youthful Expression, After Hours, Pubic Enemy, Footprints, Ham 'n' Eggs, Push it Along
Can I Kick It is awesome, but the rest of the album just doesn’t feed into my personal tastes no matter how much I try.
tasty
The classic hip-hop debut dilemma: praised as an essential classic for its singles and for presenting a sign of what’s to come, but time seems to not be kind to the immature looseness it presents, especially when compared to the tighter, more forward-thinking follow-ups. When Tribe is Tribe as they came to be – Phife and Tip trading verses, Ali on the mix, jazzy samples with amazing hooks – this album is worth the listen (see: “Can I Kick It”). But most of this album is not that. In fact, the rest of it is either Ali and Tip still exploring Tribe’s “signature sound,” or Q-Tip essentially rapping as a solo artists, with Jarobi as his Flava Flav-esque hype man. And like all CD-era hip-hop albums, its long runtime bloats the record to the point where I as the listener just wish I could trim the fat and have a better, tighter 30-minute album. But then again, if I trimmed all the fat here, I’d be left with very little; while there are a handful of highs beyond the stand-out singles (“Footprints” and “I Left My Wallet,” especially), it’s not as frequent as I think people think. Most of this album is badly dated, and most of it is a band obviously in search of a sound, and while that’s totally fine, it doesn’t mean this debut should be seen as a genre essential, even if the singles are genre essential tracks. It’s fun, and some of it’s great, but it’s not essential. Midnight Marauders and We got it from Here…. both deserve a spot on this list over this record. But if you like it, I totally get it, and would still listen to a decent yet inessential debut from hip-hop legends than some of the other rockist slogs on this list.
I love this album. It's an incredible early example of how alternative hip hop was growing out and apart from the mainstream. The beat production is so cool and jazzy and still hold up as some of the best rap album production ever made. I'm hesitant though to put this in the league of the best rap albums of all time. I don't really like Q Tip as a rapper, I think Phife is a lot better and I don't understand why he isn't included in so many of these tracks. If he was more prominent in the album it would probably be a 5 for me.
Not bad, not great either
mid
Fun to have these samples where it's so obviously from another hit song. Then it breaks into a beat with some chill rap. 3.5
Not my jam
Great stuff, not their best. Feels like we're finally moving away from the 80s hip hop sound
Great beats, good vibes. The lyrics and flow is too old school for me. I really don't get the whole story-teller setup of many of the tracks.
Not really the type of thing that I'm into, but still pretty good. Feels like something I'd come to appreciate more with each subsequent listen.
Amazing. Definitely could be a 5 star record if it was 20 mins shorter. So cool and so inventive though.
En terme de rap, c’est pas mal proche des tonalités/vibe que j’aime. Jovial, bon mixage, instrumentation travaillée. Pas groundbreaking, mais bon tout de même
The funnest of hip-hop. Love hearing Cee-Lo and George Clinton featured on various tracks. Nothing to not like.
Really fun old-school album
Can i kick it?
I'm not a hip-hop guy, but this was actually not too bad. 3/5
A breakthrough, chill mix, rap and soul perfection.
Somehow I never saw Tribe live. One of the great regrets of my life. Did see Phife Dawg solo. Anyway, this album is endlessly listenable. Yes, Bonita Applebaum, you gotta put me on.
Es un rap-fusion tranqui. Tiene unos temitas lindos y mucho relleno largo.
Second best tribe' album!
I get it. I don't like it. Way too long. Boring. Just not for me. 2 stars cause it isn't awful and Can I Kick It is good.
So I got cut off in traffic while listening to Rhythm and barely got annoyed. A Tribe Called Quest bring enthusiasm to their music and it resonates with the listener, I really appreciate the passion and joy they put in and get out of their art. I also really liked that the entire band was introduced during the first song. Bring sampling back for fucks sakes 4 stars
I didn't think I liked A tribe called quest I always thought they were boring this album was a really fun listen
This was an actually an enjoyable album. I think it went on a little long. But it was nice to hear some rap/hip hop that wasn’t full of 4 letter words.
Smoother and more musical due to the extensive use of sampling and orchestration - good, fun, but still hip-hop, so monotonous, repetitive, rather boring....
Ugh whatever it was okay.
Just not my style of rap
klonk beter dan alle kanyes and fugees samen... maar ja, het gehuil van een hyena die met zijn tenen tussen twee rotsen gekneld zit, is dat ook...
While I appreciate this album and would agree it’s good, there is a special spot in my heart for their final 2016 album, which was a great complement to this first album.
Not bad. Not my usual style of music
Tribe has one of those sounds that makes it hard to stand still. Overall an excellent and funky album.
This released in 1990, but it feels like rap from the 1980s
Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.
Alternative hip hop, East Coast hip hopprogressive rap,jazz rap. Rollito.
At once a declaration and a blueprint, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is a potent reminder of what hip-hop was meant to be. Apart from that, I don't have much to say regarding this. This is the first of many great albums A Tribe Called Quest would make. Just push it along.
Good
Literally don't give a fuck about all the obvious filler it's still getting a 5
3, possibly 4 fellas tryna talk my tousers off to the sound of dusty beats and filthy basslines.
Felt like it was a tiny bit too long, which meant it can start to blur in to one at points. But otherwise great.
This is good stuff. Neo soul is a great genre and it doesn’t get much better than this.
Indeed I did like this - even before it got to the singles. Enjoyed the laid back, chilled and yet interesting and enjoyable feels and vibes. Its Rythmic and urban cool (without anger), and beats (without getting tiring). ohh what do you call this, NEO SOUL, alternative hip hop? I like. is that Public Enemy reference and hommage I detect. Very Varied - bounced around but I didnt seem to mind, as its got somethign *happy* about it, and chill. Like
There were two calls to action in the household as my kids were stung by the hip-hop bug. One was The Beastie Boys’ “Root Down!” And the other was definitely “Can I Kick It?” by A Tribe Called Quest. This album must have copped a hiding in our house, because there’s so much of it that I remember - nothing more so than the wonderful way they intertwine segments of Lou Reed’s Walk On The Wildside into Can I Kick It? And Bonita Applebum (which first throws up the Can I Kick It? call & response); and what was my favourite - I Left My Wallet In El Segundo. I always liked this style of hip-hop - give me Tribe, MC 900 Ft Jesus or Us3 any day. More about music & melody than angst. And the sampling on this album is sublime. It was a pleasure to revisit.
How did I not discover this record decades ago? I obviously know all the singles (which are terrific), but I have never listened to this album. I was beginning to despair that I didn't actually like hip hop. The rise of gangsta rap in the early 90s really turned me off. It is too violent, too misogynistic, too homophobic. I find it unpleasant to listen to. And most mainstream rap is heavily indebted to gangsta (I'm looking at you, Eminem and Jay-Z). I have found the preponderance of that on this 1001 albums list hard to take. But I love De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising. It has been a favourite record ever since it was released, which is why I am baffled that I never gave A Tribe Called Quest much attention. I have read a lot of rapturous reviews of their records and even watched Michael Rapaort's hagiographic documentary Beats, rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. And I never followed through to hear what their records were like. And boy, do I feel foolish now. I really like this record, for all the reasons that everyone always goes on about. It's smart and funny and funky and thoughtful and relaxed and sophisticated and silly. This list of samples on the album would form the basis of a pretty good record collection (Beatles, Lou Reed, Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire, Roy Ayers, Rotary Connection!, Cannonball Adderly), and they are imaginatively deployed here in a way that soon became impossible due to legal wrangling over sampling. I can't believe that I never really listened to this before. It's the sort of record that I was listening to and would have liked when it was released, and yet, and yet.... Well, it's going straight onto my want list now.
the beginning is weird AF. It's a good album overall, but I wouldn't put any of the songs in any of my playlists. Bonita Applebum is kinda cool though. Def didn't understand why this album is here, but I guess it's just me.
Alright
It's not my thing, so to speak; nevertheless, it's fun and interesting ;-)
Never heard this album!!! I knew the bangers, but now I know the rest. Love Tribe.
Mood: excellent Setting: biking for fun Had never actually listened to this album although had heard a couple of the more popular songs. Great stuff overall
Tribe are the group that got me into Hip-Hop. I've listened to this album countless times. Even as the first track is starting, I know this is getting a 5/5. Q-Tip and Phife are both so smooth, the beats are awesome, the lyrics are funny. This album has so many famous songs - Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Can I Kick It etc. I think my favorite song is Footprints. I enjoyed it the entire time, but I think it doesn't quite make it to a 10/10. 9/10
Another one of never have listened to by myself. Really enjoyed
Fantastic album, no notes
No, do definitely not like it. There are some nice samples here, which are used in a good way. But still, no, not for me.
See, *this* is what I want from a hip hop album. And that this came out in '90, before the other few I had recently, makes it all the greater.
fucking vibes - sunny 80s spring day, nothing like waking up to tribe day, and maybe every day should be a tribe day huh
So smooth. Iconic
A few songs felt too long but all in all a 4 star album!
Admittedly didn’t listen to the whole thing, but through the first half of the album I found it hard not to get into the beat of the songs even though I’m not the biggest rap fan. It feels like anybody would be able to bob their head along with this album.
m parecieron todos lo mismo, mismo ritmo, muy monotono tipica musica q se ponen los de plaza roja para bailar la letra tiene mucho content que todavia no logro entender, de momento no se a lo que se refieren, no m se la jerga le dare una oportunidad
dope dope dope
Love Tribe. Great album to understand jazz and alt rap. Honestly not my favorite but there are some good hits.
100 альбомов ин. 4 единцы и 8 пятерок. Очень много троек, думаю, потому, что альбом в день часто без возможности его переслушать - это тяжело. 25 артистов, которых я не знал вообще. 75 альбомов, которых я не слышал ранее. Это было интересно. По альбому... Ну норм. Я чувствую, что главный хит в самом деле выделяется на фоне прочих треков, и сильно. Конечно здесь чувствуется серьезный концептуальный прорыв на фоне тех хип-хоп альбомов 80-ых, которые мне попадались до сих пор в списке. Лучшая песня - Can I Kick It?
Not my taste
This one’s pretty easy. This is one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. A Tribe Called Quest is on the Mount Rushmore of hip-hop groups.
Can see the early seminal influences on hip-hopped this this album had. Not sure I really click with this album but there are a couple good songs specifically footsteps and cool like that
I listened to their twice in a row. Somehow never heard it before but enjoyed their later albums, I think I always assumed it would be a patchy debut album with can I Kick It and a load of filler. Not the case at all and sounds just as good as the first De La Soul
As a ginormous ATCQ fan, I've always, regrettably, dismissed their debut album. But I was always aware of its undeniable influence in the Jazz rap genre, ironing out many of the cluttered and eclectic jazz-sampling styles of late 80s groups like De La Soul. If I recall, I always found this album too long and repetitive, and I couldn't enjoy the more simplistic rhyming when compared to their two impeccable follow-ups "Low-End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders". With that said, I've scarcely revisited this one recently aside from a few songs, so I was super excited to dig in again. I used to listen to this album a lot back in school during my 7 AM commutes to campus, and it always had this sleepy and hypnotizing effect on me, especially during those bleak mornings. I used to listen to ATCQ a lot back then. I feel like everything I initially didn't like about this album miraculously turned into the reasons I now love it. It's very well produced, and the cleanliness of the jazz beats here was a feat at the time. They're fuzzy and crackly, but undeniably cohesive, driving, and heavy. Their repetitiveness, and repetitiveness in hip-hop in general, is an acquired taste. It becomes less about looking for something new within each song, and more about letting already-established grooves and rhythms latch onto you. This album does that very well. I love the triumphant horns on "Luck of Lucien". "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" is one of the most fun beats to listen to here because of that driving drum beat that's filled with so much character. "Bonita Applebum" has a dirty guitar sample interjecting a more typical jazz groove resulting in an almost dissonant effect that still manages to work very well. I love the ethereal opening to "Rhythm" and the looped vocal sample across "Mr. Muhammad" sounds ahead of its time in a weird way, almost EDM-esque as well. I love the fat, bassy groove of "Go Ahead in Rain" So yeah, the beats are great. But another thing that made me apathetic towards this album was its rapping. For one, Q-tip is very much at the forefront. He's an incredibly smooth MC, but Phife's yelpy, loud, and comedic rapping was something I always loved in these tribe albums. He is on quite a few songs here, but most of the songs here are purely Q-tip songs. The rapping here is fun, easy-going, and (for the most part) wholesome. With the exception of a song like "Pubic Enemy", a deconstruction of the prevailing spread of STDs, many of these songs are admittedly meandering. Simple punch lines and simpler premises are what you get here. "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" is an aimless story of Q forgetting his wallet in a pub, yet it's still fun to listen to every time. "Ham N' Eggs" promotes healthy eating and "Bonita Applebum" is a nice little love song. This wholesome and easy-to-digest style of writing is very love-or-hate and your enjoyment of it can vary based on your current mood. Aside from Phife and Q, you have Jarobi doing the little interludes and Ali Shaheed Muhammad on DJ duty. Despite being more in the "background" upon initial listening, their presence is still very much felt. I have to mention the song "Can I Kick It" as a whole because it's largely important to me. I love the bass loop that this beat primarily consists of, it's so warm and welcoming. I know it's sampled from a Lou Reed song, but to me, the bass works wonders over Q-tip and Phife's rapping here. It's a song that promotes a steady loosening of impeding stressors and worries through a love for music. I don't find it hard to call this one of the greatest rap songs of all time. I don't think it's a surprise that I liked this way more than I remember from years back, I almost knew that would be the case. Tribe still stand as one of the most important groups to me in my early music discovery journey. While I do think this record is a tad bit bloated, it still contains that soul, emotion, wholesomeness, and life that I yearn for in jazz-rap records.
Alternative hip hop, East Coast hip hopprogressive rap,jazz rap. Rollito.
Nice
I feel a bit mixed about this. The samples and backing grooves were really cool — I like the jazz and soul samples. I like their voices and flow. A lot of the songs were pretty good lyrically. But there were definitely some tracks that haven't aged super well/were just kind of corny. My biggest complaint is that the album is just really long, and I started zoning out towards the end. 3/5 but I'd round to a 3.5
This album and The Low End Theory only had 17 months of time in between their releases. It’s a weird point to make when the focus is what came before. With the amount of evolution, improvements and changes made, to realize it was done in that little time is absolutely mind-boggling. Not to say that People’s Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm isn’t bad by any means. It’s a wonderful foundation that led to the absolute classics that came after. It’s just having listened plenty to the other Tribe classics plenty of times before exploring this album really magnifies what they left out to improve their future works. First off, Q-Tip is on rap duty for almost all of this project. While Phife’s presence on later albums either gives a solid breather or makes you just appreciate Q-Tip being able to hold a project down even better. This project already runs long at over an hour and the lack of change can get a bit exhausting as some of the more stilted flows start to feel repetitive. It’s also weird how little Phife is involved given how often he is mentioned early on. (Side note, I think Phife isn’t absolutely corny. I also enjoy I Left My Wallet in El Segundo and think it’s a good litmus test as to whether you will enjoy Phife or not.) Next is the extended outros and one-off skits. While they can be a relic of golden era sampling, in this project they add a lot of negative space and bloat to the project for something unmemorable. That is unless they horribly transition into each other during the sequence. This is something not found in TLET and Midnight Marauders as the edits are much more smooth, purposeful, and cohesive. Lastly is Q-Tips' sometimes completely moodless performance. While a good portion of the project is played cool by Q-Tip to make the more stilted flows work in his favor, he doesn’t quite yet have the skill to perform as enthralling as he does on future releases. His chill vibe becomes almost too calculated and expressionless on tracks like Youthful Expression, Footprints, and Rhythm (Devoted to the Art of Moving Butts). These are the main things that separate People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm from being great but there’s still a lot from it to be enjoyed. For me, the lyrics are a highlight and that’s definitely a personal preference because I can tolerate absolutely corny stuff if it doesn’t interfere with the performance. Aside from a few disappointing sexuality insulting bars, mostly everything is kept clean, chill, and cerebral but not too brainy. Inner rhyming can be a bit forced at times but it doesn’t derail the flow. The production for the most part is also very solid, especially on the first half of the album. The percussion choices and record scratches really pair well with the cool jazzy samples and I really like the vocal effects added on the MC transitions. I was also listening to the 25th anniversary remaster (with the original track list only) and the mix on that is absolutely splendid. This album has a few classic tracks that can’t be ignored. Can I Kick It is obviously the one everyone cites first but Luck of Lucien, Bonita Applebum, Mr. Muhhamed, and for me (and maybe some others), I Left My Wallet in El Segundo are Tribe Tracks that I will gladly go out of my way to play beyond this album. While it’s the first album that suffered from all of the growing pains. People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm still holds up in its own ways. While I think there may be a bit too much overwhelming praise and recognition. Given the act that’s responsible for it and what they would go on to do after this, I’m not too far behind in saying this can share a spot with the classics. High 7/10
Great stuff!
I think I can listen to Q-Tip rap all day. (That's not true, I can't listen to that much rap. But I'm really enjoying his catalogue and blending of hip-hop, jazz, and soul.)
A satisfactorap.
So good!
It’s pretty fresh beat wise, both Phife and Tip grew lyrically in the following albums. Maybe it’s not fair to compare it to their later work, at the time I am pretty sure there was almost nothing else like it. Still! The best was yet to come.
I had great fun with this! It's positive, it's funny and it's very nice to listen to. The vocals are on point and the changing cast keep it all quite fresh. It's also quite silly quite often, which isn't so much for me, but there's definitely a time and a place for it.
pleasantly surprised. totally decent.
Had never heard anything from this (other than Can I Kick It). Such a vibe. Got just an amazing flow. Smart lyrics, rump shaking rhythms. I like. Unexpected bangers: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Mr. Muhammed, Ham 'n' Eggs.
Amazing album! Honestly, I think I’m giving it a 4 because I know of the brilliance to come from the group.
I fucking love a tribe called quest. favourites: "luck of lucien", "bonita applebum" "can i kick it?" "description of a fool"
lots of good samples and tunes, but just not a fan of the genre
Horrible.
Le reconozco la importancia, pero le falta la energía que me gusta en el hip hop.
One of my favourite albums of all time. This thing is bursting at the seams with fun, thoughtfulness, creativity, and joy. It may not have the polish and mastery of their craft as found in Midnight Marauders and The Low End Theory but the energy and enthusiasm here is so intoxicating.
Oh, snap I know I’m gonna give this a five straight off the bat, my favorite hip-hop band of all time!! It’s not my favorite of their albums but has plenty of great songs: Luck of Lucien Left my wallet in el segundo Bonita Applebaum Can I kick it - personal fav Ham and eggs
Innerhalb einer Woche hatte ich das Vergnügen von der Hip-Hop-Gruppe "A tribe called Quest" zwei Albem kennenlernen zu dürfen. Schon beim ersten mal wurde ich sehr begeisternd in dieses Musikgenre eingeführt und wurde auch jetzt nicht enttäuscht. Im Gegenteil dieses Album ist noch besser. Fantastisch. Hip Hop gepaart mit verschiedenen Musikstilen (Jazz, Funk, Soul...) und besonderen Mudsikzitaten aus der Musikgeschichte. Hammer"
This isn’t my first album by A Tribe Called Quest. I found The Low End Theory to be fine - it didn’t blow me away but I wouldn’t say I disliked it either. This is my only preconceived idea of the group, so let’s see if today offers more of the same or not. Songs I already knew: Can I Kick It, Ham ‘N’ Eggs Favourites: Can I Kick It I found this to be a fair bit more engaging than the other album. I liked how it gave a chilled out, laid back feel with the instrumentation. Can I Kick It still gets plenty of airplay and for good reason. I can’t really put my finger on why I enjoyed this album more. Perhaps I’m just in a better mood today? Regardless, I liked this, and you might too!
5 / 10 Rap clásico, de los orígenes. Buen sonido, pero no va conmigo.
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm ‘If you need em I got crazy prophylactics’ Strangely I’ve not listened to this album. I love The Low End Theory and I listen to Midnight Marauders and Beats, Rhymes and Life pretty frequently, so it’s odd I haven’t given this a go, especially as it has three of their best know songs, Can I Kick It, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo and Bonita Applebaum. Those three songs remain excellent. Can I Kick It is ubiquitous but is a great song with a great sample. Push it Along, Luck of Lucien, Youthful Expression and Mr Muhammed also stood out. This is a very good record though, all the elements that make ATCQ great: excellent use of sampling, great hooks, loose jazzy beats that sound almost live, Q-Tip’s delivery and an overall laid back atmosphere. It sounds great too, with a nice depth to it sonically. Overall a very very enjoyable 4, might get up to a 5 with more listens. ⭐⭐⭐⭐️
Great sample choices. Fun, playful but profound bars. An innovative approach to hip-hop which undoubtedly left it's imprint on hip-hop history. Feel like Denzel Curry got quite some inspiration from A Tribe Called Quest. 8/10
Kaden would love this... Not bad for hip pop
Can I Kick It is a bop but overall I wasn’t feeling this and it didn’t seem necessary after already having Low End Theory. Got kind of bored by the end.
Good beats and lyrics. I like the use of the samples in a somewhat purposely off putting way. Snippets of major and bright sounding samples over the main minor and melancholy beat
Surprised that I liked this as much as I did. I like the samples they use and the rock undertones to the beats and raps. I may download and listen again.
Phenomenal sampling. It was fun to listen to this and pick out what they were using in each beat. I also think it must have been wild to hear this when it first came out. What a contrast to NWA and Public Enemy (both great!). All of them are great rappers and the album simply exudes “cool”. Would do a 4.5 if I could but I’ll round up.
Tribe is just so smooth. From the beats to the rhymes everything is great on this record. It also doesn’t suffer from skits that haven’t aged well unlike some of the other hip hop records from this time on the list.
Nope
I just want to be in the room when they made those beats. Like how did you think to put jazz instruments on break beats. I love Hip hop and this is it in its purest form. Classic!!
Can't go wrong with 90s hip-hop
I'm just not a fan. Cool grooves though, high 2.
This debut by A Tribe Named Quest is superb. Q-Tip has a lot of great flows on this album. Everyone else done well too. It's about time I got a hip hop record. I adore the production that's present throughout I'm looking forward to hearing more of ATNQ's work. 5 stars for this masterpiece.
A good surprise.
I wiped my feet really good on the rhythm rug 👍🏻
enjoyed being whisked back to my youth.
It wasn’t bad but their style feels extremely dated today
Not for me.
A good hip hop album Top tracks: Can I Kick It
Nice solid hip-hop album. Solid bars, nice flows, & chill beats to do work to.
I’m not very familiar with their discography but I enjoyed this a lot. I like their rap style and how they sample jazz, funk, and even The Beatles and iconically Lou Reed (did learn that they had to credit only him on Can I Kick It for the songwriting royalties). To start off with a baby crying and then tell us ““I don’t think it’s vital for me to be your idol but enjoy this recital” piqued my interest right away. I don’t think I’d ever heard a song introduce the next song pretty much every time the way the album did. I was grooving in my chair through most of this album and listening via my over ear headphones was key for me with this one. “It’s the nitty/grittty but my time is itty bitty” is my new motto. 4.5
Fun beats, great lyrics.
TRIBE
The BEST!
A favorite from the get-go.
I put on De la Soul is Dead a few days ago. Time to further my Native Tongues education! Yeah, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm kinda confirms my belief that the N.T.'s era of hip-hop died too soon. Catchy, goofy at times, but also smooth as heck. Much like yesterday's listen of Beyoncé's new album, a Beatles sample almost never hurts ("Luck of Lucien") HL: “Push it Along”, “Footprints”, “Can I Kick It”, “Mr. Muhammad”, "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" April 2, 2024
Great hip hop record just not my thing
Debut albums rarely arrive sounding like a group has been around for a while. Sometimes it’s true that they are making music on the cusp of a major change in the genre. This is one of those records, and the genre still hasn’t caught up with it. Tribe made the kind of record that still inspires all these decades later. It explodes with inventive musical and lyrical ideas—Hip-Hop doesn’t get much funkier, jazzier, or groovier than this. “Vibe” is by now an overused concept, BUT this whole album is an indisputable vibe. It really made listeners feel like the ‘90s were about to be a whole new thing. Listening to this, you’d be justified in that belief. Respect to instant top-tier MC Q-Tip. RIP Phife Dawg who reigns eternal. Hail Ali Shaheed Muhammed and Jarobi. We’re all part of One Tribe thanks to the foundation laid down by this group on this record. More greatness was to come, but this one planted strong roots for the growing.
Bonita Applebaum, Can I Kick It.
Can I kick it? No you can't.
Strong 4.5.
Liked it more than I thought I would…wasn’t ready for it, or open to it, in 1990
Can enjoy, not my preference.
Really cool old-school hip hop, really enjoyed. Not my typical listen but it was a treat. Never heard the album but I swear the album art is giving me serious deja-vu. 3.75/5
Great stuff
Achingly cool and soooo laid back, this was one of the anthems of early 90s musos. Really enjoyed listening to it again and have added it to my mellow work playlist. Favourite track: Can I kick it?
Artistically and lyrically a great album, the production and jazz-fusion elements are aspiring but not as established as in other similar albums. It’s got a few gems but is not the all-round best work ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ has to offer by any means. Favourite Track: Youthful Expression Specific Rating: 3.3/5
Hip hop has never really been my thing, but it's one of the best intros to the genre I've heard - pretty laid back, accessable. No tracks I'd skip. I would listen again. Favourite track: Push It Along
Harvinaisen siedettävä hiphop-lätty. Arvosana ois voinut nousta jopa neljään tähteen jos kestosta olis nipsaistu vähän pois.
Album 360 of 1001 A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm Rating : 2 / 5 Too much sampling for my taste. Had some positive moments. Came across as somewhat elementary.
Clean 90s rap with recognizable back beats
A cool album but not their best. Too long/ too much filler
This is an effortlessly cool blend of hip-hop, jazz and some very cheeky samples that flows beautifully. I loved the way that the tribe is introduced in the first track, giving the album the feel of a party where you are meeting a bunch of new people who are all happy to include you in their musical meanderings. My favourite track was I left My Wallet in El Segundo which spins a yarn of an ill advised road trip into the desert.
Pretty good laid back hip hop. I like how samples are used, I love the rythm overall of the album that is an invitation to chill. And the production is also pretty good with a nice and round sound. The contrast compared to gangsta rap of the same period is striking.
I am a bit undecided about this album. The blend of hip-hop and jazzy elements is great. Use of samples remains in reasonable boundaries. Sounds nicely laid-back. But in parts it's annoyingly repetitive.
I enjoyed this album much more than I would have thought. It had a great chill vibe going for it. Definitely a pleasant listen.
Fantastic hip hop album
I'm realizing through this project that there's a certain branch of hip hop with a certain maturity to it; A Tribe Called Quest falls into this category. I get good vibes from it, unlike the NWA / Dr. Dre kind of garbage. It'll never be my go-to genre but at least I know there's something out there I can tolerate.
Rating: 9.5/10 A hip-hop classic, one of the best produced rap albums of all time. This album was probably so groundbreaking and refreshing for this time period. Very forward-thinking, humorous, and clever lyrics and absolutely fantastic beats mixed together to create an amazing album. The entire album is creative and fun to listen to throughout, every song is very strong and there no weak moments on here. This or Tribe's most recent (and last) album is my favorite of theirs. Favorite songs: pretty much all of them. Least favorite song: Mr. Muhammad.
As excellent as the last one. I love the samples they use and the way they use them- just little pieces here and there instead of it being the basis of the entire song. 4.5
Very cohesive and classy. 70s r&b/soul samples give it a timeless quality. Funny hearing that sitar sample in here after the Fugees album. I wish I had known this when I was young - it would have been a good entry point into rap/hip hop. 4.0
And once again hip-hop. It sounded reasonably cool. The best thing I can say about it is that it wasn't quite as annoying as many other hip-hop albums I've heard from this list. It's just not my kind of music. 2/5
Alternative hip hop, East Coast hip hopprogressive rap,jazz rap. Rollito.
2.5/5 - boring hooks and corny lyrics but fun production, enjoyed Push It Along and Can I Kick it?
Flawless golden age hip-hop, from some of the best to ever do it. Does not sound like a début at all - such swagger and confidence - but it still carries the exuberance of youth. One of my favourite bands and, even if I only knew a handful if songs before yesterday morning, one of my favourite albums. A masterpiece
A certified classic. Favorite Tracks: - Push It Along - Luck of Lucien - After Hours - Footprints - I Left My Wallet in El Segundo - Bonita Applebum - Can I Kick It? - Youthful Expression - Rhythm - Mr. Muhammad - Ham 'N' Eggs - Go Ahead in the Rain - Description of a Fool
Really good album. Trails off towards the end
Really enjoyed this album more than I thought I would.
Great album, melds well from song to song
Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.
Never been a Tribe fan, too hipppity-hop-and-a-hip-to-the-hop for me. But a nice change of pace after the Rockist starting point.
Some pretty funky tunes on this, but starts to sound a bit samey as it goes on
I like this album a lot!
Not at all my thing, a bit dull and repetetive. I don't really dig hip hop and this didn't seem to be a great example of the genre
It was good, long, but good.
Pretty funky at times. Not my thing, but didn’t mind it. More background sound.
Cool album, need more listens to digest some of the more lyrically dense tracks. But at the same time, very good energy and boom bap sound
I just didn't feel this one.
Not as much of a bop as I remembered ATCQ being.
long, mais sympa
decent funk/soul/R&B sound, enjoyed it overall.
Beats were good and I gravitate towards the music more than words.
didn't like this as much as i expected to
have known two songs before, vibey hiphop, spoken style, not really my style but would listen again, songs towards the end of the album better
Can definitely tell that this is early Hip Hop
Love tribe, such dependable boom bap. Great sampling and interludes
I don’t think this is their best album, but I definitely love it. I don’t see a problem with a single track. The whole thing stays fun while being insightful. Nothing more to ask for out of a hip hop record. 5/5
Classic but didn't hit me as strong as when I first heard it. 3 for listening but giving it a 4 for being a classic and so influential.
Such a great hip hop album. Wholesome, creative, and just good vibes. Hard to find stuff like this anymore.
Never did I thought a hip-hop album can make me feel like I'm floating. A Tribe Called Quest is truly among the jazziest hip-hop artist ever, making them a powerful figure against gangsta rap.
great!
Not my favorite or the best tribe album, but Bonita into can I kick it might be the best back to back songs they have. Production is always great and there is something about QTip’s voice that always draws me in. They simply kept getting better from this point on
Thought I accidentally hit shuffle when the second track started with the Beatles hook. Easy listen, I fuck with this.
Really loved this. It was cool to hear back to back the Bonita Applebum sample in the Fugee's Killing Me Softly.
A lot of the beats are pristine with really tasty bass lines, but the lyrics are pretty basic.
This was fun. Very boppy. Good music for walking around an airport
Very enjoyable listen. Great for vibes
Good hip hop vibin music
Already knew I loved this album. Has a couple of my favs
Classic album.
I said it with the Biggie album - I don’t necessarily know what makes for good hip-hop or rap, but I do know what makes good art. This is art. A great album. I’d heard Tribe’s “Midnight Marauders” album before (checked it out because of “Award Tour”), so I knew at least somewhat what I was getting into - Great sampling (with some but not all being recognizable), clever and sometimes intricate rhymes, and just the smoothest of deliveries. Tribe made a statement with this first album, both sonically and lyrically. It’s easy to see how they evolved from this to a more refined version of this sound on “Midnight Marauders.” Unfortunately that’s really all I can say, not really knowing how to more deeply analyze this for its genre. But I really did enjoy it and was thrilled when I saw I had Tribe today. Five stars Standout tracks: After Hours, Can I Kick It?, Mr. Muhammad, Ham ‘N’ Eggs, Description of a Fool
own
Endlich mal kein Folk: erster Stern Hip Hop und Rap der 90ziger: zweiter Stern witzig und "aromatisch": dritter Stern
Not my taste at all
Early 90s rap in full force. One of the more listenable offerings of the genre
Phife Dawg had the smoothest voice in the history of human speech.
Push it along -- - freaky baby intro but I liked it I like luck of Lucien After hours is too repetitive Wasn't as into can I kick it as I thought I'd be. I like Mr. Muhammad Description of a fool is my favorite on the album
Can tell how much fun they had making it. Upbeat, could away the lyrics and would be a funky instrumental album on it's own right. "Can you kick it", was skipped, overplayed and droning.
I have to give this a 5. It's just so easy to listen to. This is life's soundtrack.
Still funky fresh 30 years later 4/5
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. The samples are killer and the rapping is excellent.
I listened. It was fine.
I almost liked 1 or 2 of these, almost. I’d give it a 2.5 if I could.
Can I kick it?
Enjoyed this one
Decent
I've never listened to a A Tribe Called Quest album in full before and I'm excited to finally do so. I've heard a lot about their influence and excellence and enjoyed the solo albums of some of their members very much. I was also a little bit apprehensive because of all the hype as well. But I didn't need to be apprehensive, because it is really good. The beats are great, the sample work is kind of bananas, and it's bursting with personality and humor. I can hear how its influence has stretched over pretty much all contemporary hip hop. It's great to listen to an album this foundational and enjoy it. Highlights: Footprints, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Can I Kick It?, Youthful Expression, Ham 'N' Eggs
This was always going to get 5 stars. One of the best hip hop artists of the 90’s. Although it ranks below Midnight Marauders for me, it’s a solid album. Really like it the inclusion of funk samples, such a dirty bassline in Go Ahead In The Rain. Hadn’t heard Youthful Expression before loved it sampling Inner City Blues
The only way to make this album enjoyable is to play a game I call “Which better song is this sampling?” Slapping someone else’s music over your bad poetry doesn’t make you a musician.
Love Q-Tip and probably underrated that when I came round earlier. So was tempted to right that wrong and throw out a 5* here. But I think 4* makes sense, there are other hip-hop albums yet to appear that I’ll be giving a solid 5 to and this just falls short of them. Simpsons: Yes, couple of different references (A Tribe Called Pesto)
This one was a delightful surprise. Made the drive home from work pleasurable. My favourite track was 'I left my wallet in El Segundo'
Came in with high hopes after loving Q Tips Renaissance. Haven’t really heard much of this sort of music in the past for whatever reason but have heard of the band. I knew Can I Kick It and really liked it. I never used to be a fan of sampling but I’ve learned to really appreciate it and this album has some great funky samples. I think a lot of it will benefit from a few relistens but I really enjoyed it. Not as much as The Renaissance but that grew from a 4* to a 5* so maybe his will too
loved every minut of it
nice rhythm and rhymes but a little long for my tastes
this is some good, fun 90s rap. I'm into it! the album was a bit on the long side but the songs were varied and interesting. cool use of samples (superstition was a fave) and there's a lot of good stuff here that I'll revisit in the future. favorites: luck of lucien, i left my wallet in el segundo, bonita applebum, can i kick it, ham n eggs
Coincidence one day after the Q-tip album? I THINK not! Positive hip-hop! Consistently funky beats throughout. Humorous and entertaining, youthful almost to a fault, but thoughtful as well. "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" and "Ham and Eggs" have a lighthearted flow that's missing from a lot of other hip hop. Having fun is allowed here, but they still speak from their souls. Some of the grooves went on a wee bit too long, but even for that and the length of this album, it was an entertaining ride.
listened to again great debut
I found it informative what was listened to during the 1990s. It was soft and soulful and I don't think I heard a single sexist lyric. It made me realize nearly all of my music influence comes from church music. Saved one of the songs in the end. Found like a sort of jazz in terms of the free flowingness.
I DONT EAT NO HAM N EGGS COZ THEY'RE HIGH IN CHOLESTROL Also shout out to track 9 rhythm and of course can I kick it. The whole album flows so well and the storytelling in some of the tracks, like I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, is great. I found myself really wanting to catch every lyric and mostly was able to do so.
gosh.... love all this stuff
Fun beats and great rhymes.
This will be fun. I'll need to give this one a second listen, as somewhere after Bonita Applebum, I slipped into unconsciousness and let this seep into my dreams. Great grooves, great lyrics, catchy and fun all the way through (the first half). Second half yet to be judged...
I really liked the beats, very simple and not noise. Lyrics clean
Absolutely fantastic debut from the Hip-Hop phenoms known as "A Tribe Called Quest". 9/10 for me. "Ham N Eggs" is the only dud in my opinion.
Beats are crazy, bars are sick, little weird but it’s okay
Like it a lot 👍🏾👍🏾
So this is what Meatshake was making fun of 🤓
Very melodic and rhythmic. Well done use of sampling ("Sir Duke", "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" as two examples).
First impression... Music reminds me of GTA. This album is not for me.
nice album. the flow was very beastie boys 3/5
Oh this was great. Totally my vibe of hip hop. Can I Kick It all timer
4.5
as a pseudo-angeleno I am contractually obligated to give 5 stars but actually this is too much fun
Buttery smooth hiphop. Can still hear the hiss of the vinyl that they sampled the beats from. Creamy vocals, easy to digest. Not a huge amount of variety, but honestly how much can you do with a crumby old Akai and some battered records.
Decent stuff, bit repetitive after a bit
Still fresh after more than 30 years. Some great and recognisable samples.
Big love.
3.75/5 Chill album, best to put on the background.
1. puzh it along - 1.5 2. luck of lucien - 2.5 3. after hourz - 1 4. footprintz - 1 5. el zegundo - 1.5 6. public enemy - 1 7. bonita applebum - 2.5 8. can i kick it - 1.5 9. youthful ezprezzion - 1 10. rythym - 0 11. muhamad - 1.5 12. ham and eggz - 1 13. in the rain - 0 14. fool - 1.5
I love me some Tribe. They hit the scene swinging with this album, with classic tracks aplenty and an inspired collection of samples. And Q-Tip has one of my favorite voices in hip-hop -- his flow is unreal. Still, you can hear that this is a debut; they haven't fully crystallized that Tribe magic that is so apparent on albums like Midnight Marauders or The Low End Theory. This is super fun and laid-back music, and honestly might deserve 5 stars. But since they had better on the way, I'll adjust accordingly.
This has everything that I’m looking for from hip hop. The production is so ahead of its time with enough jazz influence to keep everyone interested
fairly good listen, downloaded 3,15 and 16
Solid
Distinctive and very listenable just not as an album, gets a bit samey after a while. Good to add to a random playlist.
I’d like to like this more because I know it’s a classic influential album, but it’s just not really my cup of tea
Absolute bop
NO!!! PATRICK THEY'RE HIGH IN CHOLESTEROL NO PATRICK STOP!!!
Shame on me for thinking “eargasm” was a more recent addition to Webster’s dictionary
Me when I see a sand castle: Can I kick it? Yes I can!!
Interesting what hip-hop would have been like without all the poppin' and hoes and the poppin' of hoes isn't it.
I know A Tribe Called Quest are hugely respected and influential, but all I know of them is Can You Kick It. This falls into the two tropes of hip-hop albums I don't like, being overlong and having interstitial skits, but it does it with a charm that is hard to resist. It's not one of my favourites, but it's OK.
See previous hiphop reviews
Really enjoyed this
Amazing vibe that gets you in the chillest of chill.
Tribe is a vibe
Favorites: Just not my thing.
everything sounds the same and its pretty boring but its ok individually the songs are ok but as an album it is too much 2.5
This is from my era but I was probably listening to Megadeth at the time. This is quite inventive and sounds like they are doing something new, I suppose pioneering in the use of samples for nearly everything apart from the rapping. I have a lot more time for these guys, De La Soul and other artists I heard back then than the huge-production look at me I'm a billionaire rap of Kanye and Jay-Z and those that followed. But i'm not the right person to ask about hip-hop. Enjoyable and important benchmark album I think.
Hated it ... Can I give less than one star?
What a tremendous album! I'm not a hip-hop aficionado by any means but this had me grooving along nicely. Hugely impressive lyricism and beats that beg huge rooms of people to nod their heads in sync. Marvelous.
I'm trying to like this, but it just isn't working. I respect what rappers think they are doing with these sounds and rhythms and lyrics but it is such a creative stretch from what I consider to be musical, it just doesn't make me feel good listening to it. Two stars for effort.
Listened
A bit repetitive at times, but definitely some classics in there.
Not my thing at all.
Overall, it's average for me. My taste does not lean into rap/hip-hop. I can acknowledge that this album was revolutionary, but it's not for me. Having said that, I enjoyed some tracks more than I though I would. Seeing which tracks I enjoyed, I can tell that for me, lyrics are essential in music enjoyment, as the ones I picked are the ones with the most vivid lyrics. Favorite songs: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo - the begging part nicely scratches my ADHD brain, a little repetetive, but nice sampling Ham 'N' Eggs - I don't eat no ham 'n' eggs 'cause they're high in cholesterol, cute Almost but not quite there songs: After Hours - okay, for some reason there are frog ribbits in some parts Can I Kick It? - okay, a bit too repetetive to relisten Description of a Fool - nice groove, funky ending Least favorite songs: But is she really fly, or is she a guy? hmmm - "Luck of Lucien" Pubic Enemy - the rhythm in this song made me sick and anxious Rhythm (Devoted to the Art of Moving Butts) - could not finish the song, I hated the sample of a woman/child/guy? going ahh... Mr. Muhammad - again, I hate the sample going aiyah, could barely get to the end of the song Bonita Applebum - a 4 min song about a nice butt, 1/5
I liked this album better than I expected, I have listened to it in the past before. Enjoyed the sing songy-ness of it and all the base lines.
Es wird nicht besser.... :(
not a fan of hiphop i wish they would stop putting these in my que
Can I kick it carrying whole thing
Fair, but respect!
I really don't like hip hop. This album is making me revisit that stance. Smooth rhythms, cool samples, decent lyrics. I'm not a fan, but I can appreciate the composition.
Very unique. Never heard alt hip-hop before, intrigued. I don't think the album is for me, but it's infectiously catchy and fun. Top tracks: After Hours, Can I Kick It?, Ham 'N' Eggs
Love this, they're great
I mean, it would be a five but those long breaks between the songs get kind of annoying..
Sweet maar ze hebben beter
Had me lache geleken hier in de studio te zitten. Klinkt alsof ze het leuk hadden
a tribe called quest's people's instinctive travels and the paths of rhythm is oozing with creativity! considering this is their debut album, i was amazed at what they did here. they included a variety of samples, and while the main genre was hip hop, jazz was included, too. the song "bonita applebum" was partly inspired by south asian music! also, there's definitely funk here. i found myself reminded of prince's funk and his voice sometimes, which checks out for an album released in 1990. something that stood out to me in particular was the choice of samples. with both lou reed's "walk on the wild side" used in "can i kick it?" and "sir duke" by stevie wonder used in "footprints", the original songs had a catchy melody that was used frequently in the ATCQ songs in a bookend/homage kind of way. i liked it a lot!
During a time period when rap and hip hop were starting to lean very heavy in the "gangsta" sub-genre, it's cool to hear A Tribe Called Quest coming out the gate with a debut album that was doing something a little different. Not only is the music very clearly an alternative hip-hop expression, with some very unique beats and instrumentation that are generally upbeat and funky, but the choice of subject matter and lyrics are largely different compared to what gangsta rap was bringing to the table around this time. At times, the lyrics even border on downright strange for hip-hop music. My enjoyment of this came in at about a 3 (hip-hop is always hit or miss for me), but this trailblazing album is one of those that definitely deserves a place on this project, regardless of my and other people's reactions to it.
Love the Stevie Wonder sample
Jazzy and cool samples. Leans a little towards "okay as background music but not really exciting" to me.
Good beats and rhymes
Classic. Hip Hop about rhymes vibes and culture, not about Money and Violence. Blah blah, life was better in the old days etc. It's all about the Yeet! Yakno-I'msayin SKRT SKRT. Yeet!
What could rightfully be considered the bridge between both 90s & 80s hip-hop, as well as the very avante-garde hip-hop movement and the more jazz-, alternative- sound that would soon come to be so dominant in the 90s. This isn't my favorite Tribe project, but it's somehow both refined and boundary-pushing and really set the tone for a new era. Favorite track: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo
Yeah I jibed with the whole album. Another 5 stars.
There's some stuff on this album I really like, Luck of Lucien and Can I kick it are both 10/10's for me. There are a few songs that make me not able to give this one a 5 but it's real close. Will I listen to again: 99%
Great record, not as elaborate as midnight marauders or low end theory, but lots of cool beats, very groovy. Ham n eggs is a funny ass song
love tribe called quest. such a warm funky album. fell asleep listening to it
Un rollo más psicodélico, me gusta! Descubrimiento! wild sounds, combinaciones de ritmos y sonidos de naturaleza, llanto y percusión fina. Guay! Es rap
