People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Lots of good sampling and scratching on these laid back tracks with clear lyrics. Good sound and surprisingly relaxing! Though not my thing, so I'll rate it at 2

I could see people thinking this is good but it really wasn't my style

Not something I’ll seek to revisit. Lots of repeated refrains and beats. Not well-recorded. 2/5

Mmm

Can I Kick It is a great tune, shame about the rest. There's about 20-30 seconds of good music per song, trhe rest being loops and boring vocals.

Alternative hip hop, East Coast hip hopprogressive rap,jazz rap. Rollito.

Didn't like this much. Felt a little cheesy.

Eh

I just don't like Q-Tip's voice. Its a little too much like someone singing with a cold and just grates on me. I can't get past that.

Some interesting sampling. Struggled to rate this any higher overall.

This album was just too long, and too repetitive. Every single song they took one line for about 30 seconds and those were the only words they knew and it got really old really fast. If it had been at all interesting it still would have been too long of an album- I don’t need over an hour of this. The only reason I’m not giving this album a 1 is because I understand how this album could be influential and there is (some) talent, but definitely not my thing.

Schon nice beats aber haut mich net vom hocker

Liian pitkä mut kivan positiivinen

Rehti yritys. Kiinnostaviakin biittejä alkaa löytyä, kun pääsee käyntiin.

Sounds a bit too messy for me

Not arsed mate

Foi como quase como se fora um disco de música ambiente, pois consegui perceber as batidas fluindo por volta de uma hora.

Hip hop relaxat i compromés, amb algun tema interessant com 'Bonita Applebum' o 'I Left My Wallet in El Segundo'

I’m not really feeling this. Make mine Arrested Development. Too much frilly things. Just not my thing.

It’s become trendy to say you like Tribe, damn liberals!! I’ve only listened to singles before, never a full album, so I’m curious to get the full experience. So far, I like the sound. Well, I finally forced myself to finish this bad boy. The production was akin to a SoundCloud rapper at times. It was interesting enough for a 2.5, but I wouldn’t rate it higher than that. I’m tired of these one-track albums. Would this album really be here without Can I Kick It?

Rennon letkee tyyli. Miellyttävä, mut ei erikoinen

-Its just that really early rap flow for the whole album. Nothing crazy exciting to latch onto. -Some of the beats are fun but they aren't enough to really make it worth it with the relatively plain flow. -Not UNpleasant but there just isn't that much that I find interesting

One of the more listenable albums of the genre. Alas, I still don't like this genre.

Dull nerd rap, interesting afro-inspired lyrics, annoying sampling technique, dull lollopy groove. Easy to forget it's on but slight relief when it isn't

Not my favourite piece of music. Few songs that stand out, I really liked the flow of "Kick It" and pretty funny "Bonita Applebum", but otherwise the whole album went on without catching my attention. I think it might be partially down to the fact that in 90s this album was first ever using this style of hip hop, whereas now it's much more common and that's why it feels like nothing special. I don't want to rate it according to rap history, because I know nothing about that, so I'll just rate how I feel now, without context, about this album. And unfortunately, it's not a really positive feeling.

It’s okay, but I find their music to be too nice for my taste.

Really dull. A few good tracks that almost got it to a 3* but not quite enough

Too old school

Coolio

This album is full of some really great samples, but I found altogether uninspiring

2 1/2

Objectively not a bad album but just wasn't for me. The combination of funky, repetitive beats and the very casual and sometimes very basic lyrics and all that for an hour only aggregated me

Didn't really vibe with it, maybe a little too experimental for my taste. DNF

Not terrible, but not very memorable. Not a genre I enjoy massively, so I don’t expect I’ll listen to this one again.

Fine but not for me

Wasn't as bad as I feared it would be, but still not my thing. Quite a variety of sampled material. 2 stars.

Very cool start, but I'm worried that 70 minutes will be too long. Sadly, it's like a lot of hip-hop. Interesting start, then they repeat a beat while talking. Choruses can be good, but it's so repetitive.

Can I kick it? voelt bijna tijdsloos, maar de rest, hoewel niet slecht, valt daar toch wat tegen weg.

M’n pet stond hier niet naar.

the constituent parts are fun but the album itself is dull as hell. sounds like it was more fun to make than to listen to. De La Soul did it much better

It had some good rhythms and beats, but it is certainly not my style of music. I think the track 'Bonita Applebum' maybe my least favourite song I've heard in a while. Especially the remix with some unfun groans in there at the end.

Good

Strong 2, liked it for the first quarter, then started getting a bit repetitive

Seemed like all the components were there but it just didn't kick on and hold at an interesting rhythm

Musicalmente es muy simple. No he prestado mucha atención a lo que rapean pero me da la sensación de que adolece de lo mismo. Los rapeos suenan como aquella canción que decía “eh, tú, que estás ahí, quítate la mano de la nariz”. Aun así, parece que intentan esforzarse.

This one sounds a lot more intelligent and way less annoying than most rap albums I've heard. Giving this one 2.5 stars. Rounded down because I still didn't want to listen to more than half the album.

Difficult to rate as so far from my usual listening, I couldn't say if good for it's genre or not, it's not for me, but I didn't hate it

nah

the intro is weird... baby crying? Ehh it's alright. Nothing special, rhymes kinda basic

Не мое

Wederom een rap-album. Al klinken de beats op dit album wel heel relaxt, beetje blues-achtig soms. **

Good one. Found some familiar-sounding samples, and used whosampled.com a few times.

Not very amazing.

Se me hizo muy repetitivo: Base rítmica sencilla, rapeo encima, sample, todo junto y volvemos a empezar. Su sonido es característico, sobre todo por la base rítmica muy limpia a ratos, "hip hop minimalista" bien balanceado con los samples, pero con todas las canciones iguales.

A chore to get through. Felt generous and gave it 2* because it's got that early 90s vibe.

Heavy 80's rap vocals and beat

Nope

Man chats over boring beats. Some beats were fun. Man was boring always

Interesting songs….wasn’t a fan

Listened to this on a road trip. Glad it wasn’t an album of more complexity because not the best environment to listen to an album properly. I’ve an idea what this group is about already but no amount of listens will make this appeal to me. I get the appeal to hip hop listeners and get why people enjoy it. Can’t give this more than a 2. Not for me, doesn’t hurt my ears

Tjæ

I liked it more than I thought I would, but not for me.

2/5 Not my kinda music.

Didn't do it for me...

Tough one. Didn't dislike it but don't think I'd listen to it again so...

groovy

Meh

Ni tan peor como otros

No pues la neta no conectó, si a caso una rolilla.

Not really my thing.

Rhythms are boring, lyrics are basic AF. Interesting historical piece? Not for me.

rap

Not really my music taste

Some good brass, some clever sampling, but the rap is relentlessly repetitive & laboured. Innovative at the time maybe, but it has not aged well (or at all). Didn’t make it to the end.

I give up if this sort of thing can make it into "must hear". Why must I. Who says. More like Tripe than Tribe. Music Wankers

Its very early nineties rap. Not really my thing to be honest. I tried a couple of the tracks and really didn't want to persevere. 1/5

Бляяяяя ЗАЕБАЛ РЕП ГДЕ РОК !!! Почему я эту хуйню должен слышать перед тем как умру ахахахах

mmm just no

Ikke så meget mug

Se un album inizia con un bambino che piange, riceve automaticamente una stella. Non ho nemmeno sentito il resto (che è comunque mediocre).

Meh

It isn’t rap if you just rhyme some words and talk monotone all the was through a beat. Clearly a talentless bunch of people with the only redeeming feature being the small sections of sampling they have included from other more talented artists

I’m sure some people love this, but i would not voluntarily listen to this again.

Nothing memorable

To be fair, I’m not a fan of Hip Hop or Rap, so this isn’t an album I can really rate impartially. Doesn’t do anything for me.

I found this album to be repetitive and boring. “Ham ‘n’ Eggs” listing the foods they like to eat was painful. And I wanted them to move it along on “Move it Along” - especially when they started introducing the band after six minutes. “Go Ahead in the Rain” was the best of the bunch for me, but I mainly wanted them to just continue to play the songs they were sampling - All You Need Is Love, Sir Duke, Walk on the Wild Side.

Meh at best

horrível, nem consegui terminar

i did not like it

Not my cup of tea- I’m sure in someone else’s ears this is a master piece but nah. It seems kind of experimental, I like that it’s rap over drums but it gets a little repetitive. I can’t even focus on what they’re saying bc all my attention is on the boring beats in the background😭 call me acoustic idc

No, no, no!!!

Awful

Not for me

Very literal redeeming value here

Meh, hip hop

0.9/5 I'm not a fan of rap or hip hop so I didn't like this. They had some cool rhymes and samples but overall nothing that I would ever want to come back too.

Kylläpä nyt puskee samanlaista sontaa joka tuutista.

Really don't like this genre.

Not my taste

I’d say a 1.5

I like Can I kick it? but didn’t much care for the other 13 inferior versions of Can I kick it? .. and to be honest the bit I liked most about Can I kick it? was the Lou Reed bit

Såå tråkigt...

1*

Not for me. I don't really like the sing songy rap style.

I’m sure it’s great but not for me

When the indoctrination centers, er, schools are not getting the job done... enter the alternatives... i can think of no other reason for the entire genre of so called "rap" "music"... Eminem, NWA, Snoop, etc use hyperbole, and humor... so i would probably be more lenient toward them... but... zero stars.

Nop

В начале ещё есть парочка приятных моментов для слуха, но дальше - полный мрак. 1,5 из 10.

A vela e repetitiva fórmula de vocais declamados sobre uma base percussiva. Mais um álbum que entra na categoria: "1001 discos para morrer antes de ouvir".

Strange Intros, slow rap 1/5

I just can't stand these rhymes, good bars could justify shitty rhyming for me, but there were none. This period of hip-hop is not interesting in any way, not lyrically, not musically. Just bad

I don't think hip hop is for me

yh

American tasty for shit

more hip-hop - it's just not my scene man

Orecchiabile, ma non è il mio genere e non mi coinvolge

Nice jazz tunes that are ground down to continuous disappointments when they end, and a man starts talking rhythmically to it.

rap garbage

Rubbish. Musically, lyrically, extremely boring.

Dumb that a greatest hits is on here

Started surprisingly good. For a short time I was thinking that maybe not all rap albums were crap. Didn't last long as it soon became as annoying and irritating as all other rap music. Then there were the samples of other songs, which just served to remind you that here is far better music out there than this crap.

A couple of big tunes from my youth which were played incessantly on the radio. But the problem is they weren't in my orbit of musical tastes. The rest of the album wasn't good enough to pique my interest either.

Not my style

Not something that I listen to. Can understand how people might find this appealing. But not for me.

Not my style. 1 song

Fav: Mr. Muhammed Least Fav: Ham 'N' Eggs

Favorite: Bonita Applebum Least Favorite: Footprints

The baby intro was weird to start with at 7am on a friday. The first song is nearly 8mins long, I ended up giving up half way through the song and didn't listen to the rest of the album.

This music sucks. Not just Tribe Called Quest. The whole genre.

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.

Horrible.

Can I kick it? No you can't.

Not my taste at all

First impression... Music reminds me of GTA. This album is not for me.

See previous hiphop reviews

Favorites: Just not my thing.

Not my thing at all.

not a fan of hiphop i wish they would stop putting these in my que

Two songs by Orchid I like, Epilogue of a car crash: The best part is around 2:30 in the song when they combine the brooding first part and the heavy second. T120: It reminds me of a good version of 93696 by Liturgy (the transgender band) 4/5 for those 2 songs. I can't and or won't comment on orchid as a whole or a tribe called quest.

Not good sorry

Meh

Ciertamente el rap no es mi estilo, y me cuesta mucho escucharlo

Puf, puf

Push it Along - 1 Luck of Lucien - 1 After Hours - 2.5 Footprints - 1 Left My Wallet in El Segundo - 1.5 Pubic Enemy - 0.5 Bonita Applebum (includes 'Can I Kick It' Intro) - 1 Can I Kick It? - 4 fram til 0:20. Deretter 1.3 Youthful Expression - 1 ------------ Setter strek der jeg.

Not my style…

Nichts für mich.

good but wouldn't listen to it

Mmm…different, I suppose.

Did not love :)

Not a fan of any hip hop/rap.

Ne svidja mi se, mada to nije do albuma, generalno ne volim rep. Bonita Applebum ima kul repetitive flow

Utter tripe. Best bit is start to sergeant pepper then all downhill.

Not a rap fan

no es lo mio el hip-hop.

Hip Hop. 1/5

Niet mijn genre, wat langdradig. Met moeite uit geluisterd

Boring

Niet mijn muziek

1990, американский хип-хоп. Дебютный студийный альбом. Высокая плотность рифм, включая глагольные)

Well, I listened to the intro to the tracks, with direct steals from The Beatles (La Marseillaise) and Stevie Wonder, then Take A Walk On The Wild Side. But each track turned into the same old boring, repetitious nonsense! Intellectual property?
