Album Of The Day

Interesting we get the debut here. Hope they have Midnight Marauders or Low End Theory. This have some obvious hits (Can I Kick It, Bonita Applebaum, Left My Wallet..) and pretty much every other song is above average. Tribe is always a welcome listen. The flow is real.

Very happy to see this on here

Good album but very experimental.

Let’s goooooo - Tribe is a group I love, but I haven’t ever really dug into this debut record. It was (shocker!) an incredible first outing for the group who already had a rock-solid foundation to build and riff off of. There’s something really special about this era of hip-hop that groups like ATCQ perfected, and the albums are as timeless as ever all these decades later as a result. Wanna give this a 9/10 but again, no half stars, so this is gonna snag the often-wanted, rarely-achieved 5/5 from me.

Enjoyable

Old school hip hop. Always a good choice. I liked the sampling of well-known songs "Sir Duke" in "Footprints," for example). Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" does this in abundance. Definitely something that can't be done today. The rapping seems so effortless from these guys. I just really liked the flow here. I also liked how songs bled into each other. I like this idea better than "interludes". One of the big things here is relistenability, and most of the songs really warrant more than one listen. There are a few tracks that are a little goofy ("Ham and Eggs" and "Pubic Enemy", I'm looking at you...). But besides those few songs, it's an album I am looking forward to hearing again, and I'm looking forward to the other album of theirs on the list. Top tracks: "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo," "Footprints," "Push It Along," "Can I Kick It?", "Mr. Muhammed"

Such a unique band/group, bringing a whole different style and chill cool to hip hop. And this is the album where it all started. A fusion of jazz, soul, and rap and such an eclectic mix of beats. Their lyrics are very clever - even when being goofy. They're just different, making you think about a wide variety of topics. Great wordplay. I don't love every song but mad respect for their style. Favorite tracks are Push it Along (before the live part), Luck of Lucien (smooth), Footprints (love the Sir Duke sample combined with some industrial sounds), Bonita Applebaum (though I always liked the Sir Piers remix more), Can I Kick It (such good sampling, even some Lou Reed), Mr. Muhammad (showing off the DJ's stylings), Go Ahead in the Rain (funky).

Previously reviewed The Low End Theory, which is supposed to be their best...it didn't do a lot for me and I gave it a 3. I don't think they needed more than one album on the 1001 since the style is pretty much the same, but this one isn't as good (can't believe Can I Kick It was a hit...I thought it was pretty lame). The baby crying at the start of the album was a bit annoying, and then it settles into the same type of jazz rap we hear (better) on The Low End Theory. Also, while I can appreciate the lack of gangsta lyrics and misogyny, the lyrics are a little on the boring side and occasionally kinda cringe (e.g., Pubic Enemy - which is a shame because the song is a pretty cool groove). I can't say I actively disliked the album, it just didn't do much of anything for me. Songs I kind of liked: Footprints, Youthful Expression, Go Ahead in the Rain.

Favorite Track: Can I Kick It

Okay

Seminal and legendary record, the length isn't felt because of how easy it is to listen, and the lyrics take it to a new dimension. Themes we still talk about to this day and a perfect execution that reaches the point it wants to make while being great to listen to.

Rather humble origins for one of the most influential hip hop groups of all time, slacks in the end but the first 60-70% of the album is fantastic, pretty much everything until Mr. Muhammed.

Obviously influential and I can hear echoes of later stuff in this. But for me, a bit samey and meh

Good album not great, I like qtip

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

This is the fourth best Tribe album. Four stars.

Like a breezy summer day in the nyc of my youth. With some of the most musically creative use of samples ever.

A lot of fun beats throughout, laying the foundation on what’s to come for the group. Not necessarily the album I reach for when it comes to their discography, I think they improved their sound on low end theory and again on midnight marauders. Nonetheless a pretty fun album that I enjoyed but probably won’t reach for when I feel like listening to a tribe called quest.

classic 90s hip hop - SOLID ALBUM

My least favourite out of the OG 3 but still an awesome album, the use of samples and drum stop and starts is exceptional. Only thing that brings it down for me is the lack of Phife Dawg and some of the songs are a bit weak compared the rest most notably Bonita Applebum for me despite it being a single.

Man some of these songs are looong. Haven’t heard much like this before though. Refreshing perspective. Some unique sounds and beats, and funky samples. Found it to be monotonous at times, and the lyrics didn’t always make sense/rhymes were a bit odd lol.

Really really enjoyed this

Can I kick it?

I'm kind of embarrassed that I wasn't more familiar with ATCQ before starting this, both albums I've listened to so far have been absolutely fantastic, and if they pop up on the list again I'm going to be excited to listen to more.

High 4 because it drags a little bit in the back half, but man the beats are so good, the flow is so distinctive (even if a little one note) that this is just a good album you can put on so it's a 5.

I mean they're just such a vibbbeeee

Great samples, great flow.

Great feel.

Sample city done not so bad, I was engaged through parts and other times I drifted off.

I was about to complain about excessive rap hip hop which I have been served up recently leading to a trail of 1 stars. But this one surprised me. Mainly due to the use of samples which I have to admit were perfectly done and were very effective. Sometimes with humorous results. Not enough though to drag this type of music beyond 2 stars. But this is a good achievement given my loathing of this stuff. 2/5 22/2/25

pretty good pretty good

Pre-listening thoughts: every time we get a hip hop/rap album I jump for joy. So much rock on here and hip hop is a wonderful break from it. Post/during listening thoughts: I know a lot of people don’t like early/formative rap, but I think there’s just such a charm in it. I read up on the background of this album and I’m so glad I did. And I’m so glad we got Jungle Brothers and De La Soul before this one. You can totally hear the influence of both on this. It’s pretty conversational in terms of lyrics/flow. However, the patchwork of sampling here is pretty unique to this group. Why does Robbie Williams sampling “Can I Kick It?” in “Rock DJ” make me mad 😭?? This is pretty good. I think it would grow on me with more listens but for now it’s a solid 8/10. DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: maybe Fav tracks: Luck of Lucien, Public Enemy, Bonita Applebum, Can I Kick It?, Ham ‘N’ Eggs Least fav tracks: Rhythm (Devoted…)

Very good album, lots of the hits, don’t think it’s as good as MM for me though.

I just don’t get A Tribe Called Quest. I heard all of their stuff, I know it’s highly acclaimed, I don’t get it. Sounds like the superbowl shuffle.

A funky smooth flow Over drum heavy, chill beats Is electric cool

I’ve been stuck on this album forever. Partially because I’ve been busy with life, but I think partially because I didn’t really know how to think about it. I know there’s something of a tension between new and old hip hop, and it’s many consider the older stuff to be superior. But I’m starting to realize I don’t quite agree with that. I’m not hating at all - there’s still tracks and albums I thoroughly enjoy and would gladly give 5 stars, but there’s something about older hip hop that can just feel a little one-note to me. I know Tribe is widely respected and beloved, and that’s cool, but this album just didn’t do much for me. I’m surprised by it, but I have to be honest with myself. So to finally unblock myself and move onto a new album, I’m just going to give this a 3 and move on. I would call it a 4 but there’s just not enough tracks on here that I really loved (even the ones I liked the sound of were often just nonsense…looking at you Left my Wallet in El Segundo, Bonita Applebaum, Ham ‘N’ Eggs). I’m looking forward to getting other Tribe albums to see if they resonate more. 3/5 Highlights: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo Can I Kick It

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

It’s interesting to be getting repeat artists at this time, because I can also take into consideration the growth of them. I definitely thought the other album I listened to by Tribe was stronger, but since this one was their first album, it makes sense. One thing I did think was really cool was they used this voice warping effect in multiple of their songs which was sick in regards to the cohesiveness of the album. I still enjoyed this one a lot.

QUE MARAVILLA TOP ÁLBUMES FAVORITOS

Masterful lyricism and simple but effective beats/sampling. Quintessential late 80s/early 90s hip-hop.

A Tribe Called Quest really shows off their sample game here, with tracks that give a great, relaxed vibe while also rich in storytelling. I enjoy this a lot.

ATCQ is always a good vibe, fun rhymes and good beats. But I tire of it by the end of the album. 3.5 down to a 3.

Old rap is always a really cool vibe. Stripped down a little relative to the baroque stuff we get today (which is also nice). I would almost say it has jazzy vibes. Can I kick is a lot of fun. I am terrible at writing about music, but this laid bck vibe is really pleasant. Why does no one do anything like this now (or do they)? I can't really put my finger on what here is different: the beat is a simpler track, it's less produced? Something like that. It feels more down-to-earth. But long-story short this old-school album is great and I enjoyed it a lot. Did think it was a little too long. 3.5 rounding up.

Taken individually these are really interesting songs that show how much fun rap can be, both for the audience and its creators. But it does drag a bit by the end of the album (although possibly that's just the bloat of some of the remixes at the end for the 25th Anniversary Edition).

"I ordered the enchiladas and I ate 'em" is the most seen I've felt since starting this

Would have been really exciting to have heard at the time. Mildly dated to my ears now.

Dripping with influence

Really enjoyable, good selections in the sampling that make sure this album is consistent but not repetitive across a long runtime

Absolute cracker of an album, perhaps even genre defining. High 4s.

Q-Tip was splicing these tapes together by hand. Genius.

good background music

Rap is usually really not my vibe. The variety in this album is impressive though, both in general vibe and in the range of instruments used. I do really appreciate when you can so obviously see that the band is having a really nice time with it. So when asked 'Can you dig it' -- I will answer "Yes I can" (I do know those are not the actual lyrics, thank you)

shout out to Daniel L, who played this album for me in a walkman at a cross country meet in high school. This was my gateway album to hip-hop as a 14-year-old, who only listened to commercial radio at the time.

I LOVE ATCQ. But Somehow I'd never listened to this album before, always having focused on Low-End Theory and Midnight Marauders. This one is good, but not nearly as good as the other two

Fun and clever and good rhythm. One I'm gonna come back to for sure.

Better than I expected.

Listening now, without the context of how innovative this album was when released, most of what it has to offer has been improved upon over time. It's highlight reel however is still full of all-timers. 3 is unfair, but I couldn't justify a 4 from my level of enjoyment.

Not one of Tribe’s best. They got much more refined as time went on

I'm not a big HipHop fan but this is ok. Not quite ground breaking having been released after De La Souls debut album but it got plenty of good press back in 1990. It passed the time when I was driving but I won't listen to it again

I really like the use of samples, the funky elements and the jazzy elements. I got The Jungle Brothers a few days ago and this is certainly far less dated. It also has good vibes, no misogynistic nonsense which is a bonus. I fear hip hop just is not the genre for me

While the title of this album is a mouthful, this whole thing is groovy. It's impossible to not have some body part moving rhythmically while this is playing. Sidenote; it's nice to see all the positive 5 star reviews for this record.

Head-bobbing, light hearted, groove-infused. Hard to believe this isn't even their best album (but it's damn good).

Pretty skibidi

Banging beats! A bit too old school for my taste but definitely has some bops!

the flows and the samples in this one >>>>>😩😩😩😩

More meaningful than NWA but not really something you have to hear before you die

Groovy. Last few tracks not as strong as the rest of the album. Fav Tracks: - I Left my Wallet in El Segundo - Bonite Applebum - Can I kick it?

2.5

funky

Loved this!

Before tribe went jazz they went boom bap. This album highlights the wide range of sound that the tribe has experimented with while not losing their biting wordplay and meaningful lyrics

Such a great album full of bangers- I love the storytelling. Listened to this on a sunny train from Paris to Brussels and it gave me so much joy. It got slightly repetitive towards the end, so 4 stars

3.5

Really surprised how much I liked this album. Not a huge rap fan at all. But the kinda laid back hippy groove really got me in my sweet spot (8.4)

Cool old-style hiphop. Quite memorable. 4 stars

3.5/5

For some reason this doesn't get the same attention as their next two, but I think this is a great debut that more than holds it's own. "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", "Bonita Applebum", and "Can I Kick It?" are bona fide hip-hop classics, but there's a ton of great deep cuts here too -- "Push it Along", "Luck of Lucien", "Go Ahead in the Rain", and "Description of a Fool" are all bangers. I think it sounds as fresh today as it did in 1990. 4.5 stars.

3.5

Kinda squidgy, skewiff socially conscious hip-hop. The samples and vibes are all snazzy and jazzy and cool but also a teensy rough and slipshod plus the raps are a mite chipmunk and dorky. There are some semi-decent phases but no outright bangers and I remember their later albums being a lot better. Definitely no 3 Feet High And Rising.

I mean, it’s not as good as The Low End Theory, but not many hip hop albums are. The beats are fun, the rhymes are fun. Just a very colorful album. Can I Kick It? Yes you can!

I've heard worse hip hop

rap garbage

Not a genre I'd listened to before much and I enjoyed more than expected

Enjoyable listen. I played it as background throughout the day but when I tuned in the lyrics were interesting. Definitely more musical than most songs in this genre. I don't think it'll be on my normal rotation but if I ever want a good vibe in the background this album would hit the spot.

Fantastic album by one of the best groups to ever do it. When I decided I was done with yesterday’s album I literally listened to this instead. Life, uh, uh, finds a way.

It’s a 3.5 that i can’t rate that way, so I’ll give it a 3. Listened to a couple tracks multiple times after the first run through. After Hours and Youthful Expression are the standouts for me

I love this album. Luck of Lucien crept into the favs this time.

I want to live in the multiverse where the "Native Tongues" style of Tribe, De La, Monie Love and Jungle Bros ended up defining 90s hip hop instead of gangsta rap. The ratio of great hip hop singles to great hip hop albums is roughly 4,080:1. It's very hard to do but these guys pull it off - on their debut no less, and the first of three great albums in a row for them - with self-effacing, creative rhymes delivered with a laid back flow full of youthful charm over clever beats that act like a tour of the pop culture my generation grew up with. Also, pour one out for Phife Dog, the Five Foot Assassin who left us way too soon.

Although it's their debut album, this is actually the second Tribe album in this collection for me (I had already heard "Low End Theory" quite a while back). In this case, I wish I'd gotten their albums in chronological order, as I don't think both albums warrant four stars each, yet I foolishly gave "Low End Theory" 4 stars, not realizing we'd get more. This album definitely deserves the four stars more--really 4.5 stars if that were possible--in part because it's their debut album and also because there's simply more variety on this album than on "Low End Theory". And of course there's the eternally fun "Bonita Applebum" on this album, plus a few other fun tracks ("Push it along" for the first 4 minutes or so, "Pubic Enemy"). I'm also really impressed at the range of Q-Tip's samples and references, even if many of the tracks end up having a very similar format. Much like with "Low End Theory", I was struck by how much this album evokes De La Soul at times, and thankfully the Wikipedia entry for this album finally clarifies why that is, as Q-Tip not only appears on De La Soul's "Three Feet High and Rising", but also early on Tribe, Funk Brothers and De La Soul all formed a "collective" called "Native Tongues". Too bad they never did a mega-album with all of them (and the other later members).

Hard to believe this is a debut album--seems so confident in its quiet blend of hip hop, rap, funk, even a riff or two from Lou Reed and Stevie Wonder. Genius and to know they followed this up with the Low End Theory.... I owe this project for introducing me to the Tribe!

Smash Hits 1991 was probably the first music thing I spent my own money on. I must have been 10/11? 'Do the Bartman' was probably the biggest draw at the time. Although the gatefold double vinyl was filled with absolute dross there were a couple of traks that left an indelible mark on my music tastes. 'Can I Kick It' was one of those. (Charly by the Prodigy was the other). I didn't understand it. But I knew I liked it. Have I ever actually listened to this album as an album? It was one of those that I was constantly trying to Napster/Limewire/Torrent ... but I'm not sure I managed to catch them all. Anyway ... it's better than I remember and pretty peerless. A stone cold 5. Q-tip is an undeniable all time great.

LOVE THIS SHIT

A Tribe Called Quest proving again they are one of the best groups on this list. The rapping is great along side expert use of sampling. I especially like the "Sir Duke" sample in Footprints. Overall one of the best on this list. Favorite songs: Footprints, Bonita Applebum, Can I Kick It, Ham 'N' Eggs

Extraordinario album. Una banda esencial del Hip Hop. Una influencia capital en la música urbana. Elegancia, buenas melodías, un uso delicado de los samples (Lou Reed, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Funkadelic...). Este podría ser uno de los mejores discos de la historia del Hip Hop. Afrocentrismo sin estridencias, native Tongues, finales de los 80- principios de los 90, Nueva York... Luck of Lucien es mi canción favorita de ellos, pero tienen temas buenos de principio a fin (y una discografía que es la envidia del resto de artistas). Sin duda 5/5

Playful, fun rhyming to infectious beats.

Second TCQ album on this list. Pure rhythm and witty flows. Wicked production. Ahead of it's time. A bit too long for me

Enjoyable but heard it done better (with less phobia, 90s or not). Outstayed it’s welcome.

I loved this one. Almost as good as the Low End Theory. I think this is their second best and I really have no complaints about this one. Low 5

Really fun, loved el secundo and rhythm. But fan of the sampling and production.

I’d rather give 3.5 but I’ll round up. I like the rhythms.

This album is great! I love the beats and the production on this album. I was blown away that this was debut album. Genuinely an amazing rap album. You will definitely know the hit off this album “can I kick it?”, but there’s a ton of gems on this album especially “I left my wallet in El Segundo”. If you are a rap fan (especially alt rap) you will love this album.

Very chill, old school 90s rap. Heard a lot of bits I've heard referenced in other songs (Beastie Boys, Fugees)

Solid craftsmanship on this album. Beats. Rhymes, flow.

Tribe is quickly becoming my favorite hip hop group

Alltid tänkt på a tribe called quest som en av de få speciella annorlunda låtande rapgrupperna, detta var verkligen emotsägande. Ganska tråkigt, icke passande samples, tycker all låtar också är rätt likna skrivna.

Groundbreaking and awesome

Banger

very nice groove sounds, relaxing for a Saturday night

Solid old hip hop

This was very smooth, but I don't think i'll listen again

Minus one start for not being Midnight Marauders, that's its only fault.

Solid 3.6, so I guess I'll round up.

Unbelievably smooth and iconic. Love these guys and this is a fantastic debut

Shocked that this is their debut. So confident and consistent and unique

one of the great debuts and a blueprint for the best and most consistent group in hip hop history

Several great cuts. Most of the album is pretty mid. Tribe always delivers though.

chillaxidasical listening and good vibes

hm, hat mir nicht so gefallen. Das ständige wiederholen der Sätze hat hart gestört, auch wenn der Beat häufig ziemlich geil war - 3 Sterne

Ja, ist ganz geiler 90er HipHop, aber mags lieber vereinzelt, ein ganzes Album ist dann auch irgendwann anstrengend. 3 Sterne

Although hip hop is not really my thing--really interesting stuff. Not bad, not bad at all.

Hip hop, in general, is more difficult for me to get in to. I liked Tribe okay. It's definitely better than the crap I hear blared at intersections, and the absence of a constant barrage of obscenities was nice (oh lord, I'm getting old). Ham and Eggs was great though. Halfway through the track I realized they were giving me healthy dietary advice.

I was once a rap/hiphop naysayer - I never had any exposure in my formative years and adopted an anti-rap tribalism. I could often be heard saying things like "it's just bad offensive poetry behind worse music." That was until a coworker at a burger shop I worked with was flabbergasted that I wasn't open to hearing any of rap music and insisted that I listen to this Tribe Called Quest album among others. The mixture of those albums (and lets be honest, the adult swim bumps dropping MF DOOM, etc. at this time) opened my eyes and made me realize that writing off a whole genre of music is an ignorant take. I enjoy the simplistic "Boom Bap" samples that come off crisp and timeless. "Can I Kick It?" is such a classic. Take a walk on the wild side.

Not really bad for hip hop. Some actual thought went into it.

These guys are a nice contrast to the darker, "tough-guy" style that permeates a lot of the other rap albums from this era. Upbeat, fun, with some smooth flow and interesting lyrics.

A Tribe Called Quest’s People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is a genre-defining debut that whispers where others shout, flips Lou Reed with finesse, and weaves in Beatles and Stevie Wonder samples like a musical daredevil. Less polished than The Low End Theory but bursting with raw energy, this album is a blueprint for alternative hip-hop’s rise—proof that introspection, groove, and experimental beats could coexist. If Tribe’s legacy was forged in the fire of TLET, this album was the spark that started it all.

Great! 4/5

This will definitely be a repeat listen especially in the summer

Hip hop. Pretty good beats but the flow sounded about the same every song.

love it

I listened to the original album, not the 25th anniversary with extra tracks. The lead poet kept the beat well and was reasonably easy to understand. The short clips of older songs made me wonder: should the tribe get credit for being creative or lose credit for not being able to come up with their own music. For a hip hop album it was ok - 3 stars.

This is another one that I've never listened to, not because I haven't heard of them, just because I'm not a big hip hop head. My friend Alex was a fan of these guys, though, so I do have a positive association. They sound 90s, which isn't terrible (listenable, not offensive) but doesn't compel me either (am I looking for more edge? idk). Lucien *is* a cool name. 'Bonita Applebum' is referenced or sampled in so many other songs. Thus concludes my thoughts. Highlights: The line 'it'll take a minute rice', 'Can I Kick It?', 'Ham 'N' Eggs' (always here for the lols)

Fun album, enjoyable to listen to, doesn't take itself too seriously, good background music. Songs can blend together at times and I sometimes find songs repetitive.

Excellent album. The samples are terrific and lyrics and flows make every song a must listen.

I like this. Very old school. Cool Rhymes. I like it more than most of the modern hiphop albums. There were some really good songs. It is very chilled music. "After Hours" is not bad. Also "Bonita Applebum" is somehow funny. "Push it along" also not bad.

Great album

I've been listening to a lot of music, of all types and forms, in the last few months. Between this list, RYM, and recommendations from friends, there's no shortage of wonderful music. I'm starting to realise that my music taste is evolving and I'm slowly starting to appreciate music that I hadn't before. This album is one of them. In the past, I would have struggled to get through the entire thing. Now, I'm looking forward to going through A Tribe Called Quest's discography afresh. Will they ever reach the near-perfection of this debut album? I doubt it honestly. But hopefully I'm wrong. Awesome stuff. Also learnt that Lou Reed was a bit of an arsehole, only clearing the Kick It sample in return for 100% of the royalties from the song. Oh well!

91/100. This is a fantastic and fun record. A Tribe Called Quest masterfully fuses jazz and boom bap—two of my favorite rap styles—into something truly special. The album flows effortlessly with no weak spots.

Just incredible. Loved all of it!

It's alright, very simplistic but I appreciate it.

A few songs, I enjoyed but honestly nothing super memorable. It’s gonna get a three cause I could see myself listening to it again with friends and not hating it. Honestly, flows in the 90’s were so wack lmao.

I love the tribe, but have not listened to their first album except for the hits. What an idiot I am. I would have had this on constant rotation. This was such a blast. Fantastic album! Maybe even better than their follow ups. Still a breath of fresh air. Amazing beats.

Neat.

8/10

Great album! No skips and a true classic.

Fantastic album by one of the greatest hip hop groups = 5 stars.

Maybe it was ground breaking in 1990 but the 4/4 rap on beat sounds so generic now. Lyrically it was ok. Definitely felt very long as a full album.

I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. I've listened to A Tribe Called Quest before and I thought their music was pretty lack lustre. But I definitely enjoyed it this time and I recognized a couple of samples in some songs which I thought were cool. Nothing particularly "wowed" me, but I also didn't think any song was worth a skip. Maybe after listening to more music on this list, it made me appreciate this album a bit more. 3/5

Great front to back.

A wonderful hip hop album that still stands up today

It's sometimes hit and miss with the hip hop albums, particularly as many don't age well. This was a bit of both. Somehow quite mellow in the background but also somehow just not quite interesting enough.

like yes and if you think no then youre racist

Fun early hip hop

This might be the perfect mix of jazz and hip hop. Q-Tip rhymes so smooth "like butter," as he says on a future album! This is so much fun - easily makes you move and smile while you're doing it. Liked Songs Added: Luck Of Lucien Footprints I Left My Wallet In El Segundo Bonita Applebaum Ham 'N' Eggs

Helt okej för att vara hiphop. Tre.

Quite laid back but not a massive fan of the more hip hoppy voice

Liked this a lot! Favorite tracks are Luck of Lucien, Can I Kick It, and Ham ‘N’ Eggs. Loved all the sampling!

I liked this quite a bit. A fair number of songs sounded roughly similar, but there were a fair number of decent melodies, loved most of the sampling, and good musicianship throughout.

I’m sure I’ve listened to this before, but the only songs I was confident I knew were “el segundo” and “can I kick it.” I thought about a 5, but I think it falls short. The back half felt weaker than the front half and even the original length (setting aside the remixes on the 25th anniversary edition) is maybe a little too long.

I always felt too white to listen to this and still do but man I wish I could get over it cause this rips!

Brilliant album. Not heard it in about 25 years. Forgot what I was missing

Have never actually heard Tribe's debut before. Solid. Samples are great, beats are great. Enjoyed the weird marriage of Cannonball Adderley and Sir Duke. They even travel forward in time to steal the sample from the Fugees Killing Me Softly cover.

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm This band is considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop bands of all time, and you can clearly see that even in their debut album. Albeit a long one, all the songs in here are consistent and packed with bars and flows that'll you make think more. ATCQ definitely paved the way for the next generation of rappers that were about to come later on. Overall, this is great! 1.- Push It Along = 10/10 2.- Luck of Lucien = 8/10 3.- After Hours = 10/10 4.- Footprints = 8/10 5.- I Left My Wallet in El Segundo = 9/10 6.- Pubic Enemy = 8/10 7.- Bonita Applebum = 10/10 8.- Can I Kick It? = 10/10 9.- Youthful Expression = 9/10 10.- Rhythm (Devoted to the Art of Moving Butts) = 9/10 11.- Mr. Muhammad = 8/10 12.- Ham 'N' Eggs = 10/10 13.- Go Ahead In the Rain = 8/10 14.- Description of a Fool = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

För att vara den här genren så är en trea högt för att vara från mig. Finns lite skapliga låtar på albumet.

This is great and very close to what I expected from A Tribe Called Quest's more famous entry, \"Low End Theory\". That album suffered significantly (in my opinion) from a song about date rape. There's nothing so glaringly awful in \"People's Instinctive Travels\", despite some occasional womanizing. And man do I love this kind of hip hop. In their own words, they weren't trying to be tough, they just wanted to be. There is really skill in the use of samples here (some that would be impossible to clear now) and the marriage to the beats and lyrics. It's positive, it's self assured, it's funny, it's real. There's plenty more like this in the underground hip hop scene but this was a rare triumph in the mainstream.

I think the song title Youthful Expression defines the album as a whole. Sampled beats on loop with well informed long winded lyrics.

This is a very strong debut album, and it's their third best album for my money. The range of subjects, lyrics, samples, and music is fantastic, and feels effortless and refined. I don't think this album is perfect, and I do have some minor technical and musical quibbles, but it's so strong I find it difficult not to give 5 stars. And they only get better over the next two albums. Also Q-Tip is one of my favorite rappers ever, so I'm just not gonna be too objective here.

5 star. Classic hip hop

Enjoyed this. Good hip hop and great work listening 7/10

I like Tribe's stuff. Just good, 80s/90s hip hop. I love the samples features on this album - Hendrix, Lou Reed, Stevie Wonder, and Phil Spector. The album is full of the word play and double entendres I've come to enjoy from their work. Favorite song: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo Least Favorite Song: Really not a bad song on this album.

So fun and easygoing. Still sounds so fresh. Better than just about every hip hop album that came after.

An absolute classic album in its genre - a great listen as I did my Christmas food shop in the Asda- the real question is always can I kick it ….

dope

They are capable of so much more. Still a great start to their run of albums.

I'm going to listen to this one several times in the 24 hr period. the timlessness of this album is so fucking sick. Can tell its their earliest album with weird songs like Ham N Eggs but still so so so good

Why my head bobbing?

Harvinaisen siedettävä hiphop-lätty. Vahva kolmepuol, arvosana ois voinut nousta jopa neljään tähteen jos kestosta olis nipsaistu vähän pois.

I really like A Tribe Called Quest, and this is a good album. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but I don’t feel like it’s good enough for a 5 (Low End Theory is, though).

Just a really fun album, definitely my taste in music

I do like me some ATCQ, but Low End Theory is still my fave.

Nice mellow hip hop

Old school tribe called quest

Enjoyed it but not really my jam. Still appreciated the lyrics and vibes

Hip hop is at its best with east coast boom bap, and ATCQ are absolutely icons and pioneers of this style. There is just little to hang onto here. The timeless moments in songs like can I kick it are few and far between. 2/5

Nice beat and clean lyrics. Not a big fan of hip hop as I think it is too repetitive but I have to admit that I like this album.

Hecks yes! Smoooooooth and silky and transitions melting so seamlessly. The fade out and in YOUTHFUL EXPRESSION was sweet as Gushers.

Lajk

Look, I LOVE their point, and I’d rather listen to this than 95% of the rest of music but they do take their sweet time to get to it

ATCQ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve always put De La Soul’s ‘3 Feet High’ on a pedestal as the greatest hip hop album of all time. With Q-Tip as the greatest rapper and ATCQ ‘only’ as a merely great singles bands. Listening to this album as a whole, I think this comes pretty close to being a perfect hip hop album and a rival to ‘3FH’. Q-Tip’s performance is the most effortlessly fluid, rhythmically perfect delivery you can imagine 🐐 . He is so well supported by Phife and some incredible beats, samples and production. I managed to see them live in 1990 and I cannot believe that I’ve not seen them since. Thought I never needed to hear ‘Can I kick it?’ ever again…. I was wrong. In the context of this album, it works so well. Makes me want to order the entire back catalogue in vinyl in one go!

My favourite album so far. I think this is probably my favourite hip-hop album of all time. It oozes a sense of loose, unconventional, laidback cool. Q-Tip’s conversational flow pairing perfectly with playful yet thoughtful lyrics. Great drum sound, crisp and organic.

Hugely enjoyable but way too long.

Aussi bon que l'autre. 8/10

The beat is frogs.

I can see why this album belongs on this list and would be so beloved. For me personally the songs side on being too long and too repetitive without there being enough energy to carry my interest. The album went by pleasantly but never grabbed me lyrically or sonically and to me that was its downfall

Some fun old school beats… but it gets really repetitive after a while.

They have great taste in music samples, but like all hip hop albums it just makes me want to listen to music of the original artists instead of paying any attention to these mutant forms of them. The samples just serve to remind that there is better ACTUAL music out there. Not among my favorite albums of 1990, much less of all time. Probably will not revisit. Did not add any of the tracks to a playlist.

A funky introduction to one of the most notable Hip Hop groups of all time. It's easy to see how their approach has resonated over the years, injecting funk and rhythm into all of their tracks. Content that is relatable to most of us, all with a head-nodding groove to follow along with. They so clearly stand out in a league of their own, and this is just the beginning.

This is an awesome album. Had it on high rotation this weekend, especially in the car. Very chill. Loved it.

Great album! Can I kick it - a classic!

Rubbish. Musically, lyrically, extremely boring.

Entspanntes hip hop Album, gut gemischt und interessante Samples 3,5/5

90s hip-hop is always hit and miss for me, and I've listened to the Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders off and on over the years and have never been that impressed. That being said, this is a very impressive debut album for the group that I prefer to those other releases. The sampling was great, the lyrics were good, and the jazz elements fit well. 3.5/5 -> 4/5

Putain, 1990. Quelle année. Le mur de Berlin venait de se péter la gueule, l'Apartheid commençait à sérieusement sentir le sapin, et le rap, de son côté, était en pleine crise de croissance. D'un côté, la testostérone et la rage politique de Public Enemy avec leur monumental "Fear of a Black Planet". De l'autre, la gangrène gangsta qui commençait à infecter la côte Ouest avec un Ice Cube fraîchement échappé de N.W.A. et son "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted". Le décor était planté : du béton, des sirènes, des poings levés et une colère sourde qui menaçait d'exploser à chaque coin de rue. C'était lourd, c'était nécessaire, mais merde, qu'est-ce que c'était lourd. Et puis, au milieu de ce champ de bataille idéologique et sonore, un ovni a atterri. Sans bruit, sans fracas. Juste une petite soucoupe volante colorée qui s'est posée en douceur, et de laquelle sont sortis trois mec, Q-Tip, Phife Dawg et Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A Tribe Called Quest. Rien que le nom, ça sentait l'aventure, le truc pas commun. Moi, à l'époque, je commençais à peine à user mes fonds de culotte dans cette radio indépendante où tout était permis, du moment que ça sortait des sentiers battus. Quand on a reçu "People's Instinctive Travels...", je me souviens encore de la gueule de mes collègues. On passait du son qui te décollait le papier peint, et là, on se retrouve avec "Bonita Applebum". Une déclaration d'amour à une meuf, posée sur une boucle de jazz-funk si douce, si lascive, qu'on aurait pu faire des bébés dessus. C'était une anomalie mais une délicieuse, une indispensable anomalie. Ce disque, c'est l'anti-thèse de tout ce qui se faisait à l'époque. Là où le rap sentait la poudre et le bitume chaud, A Tribe Called Quest sentait l'herbe fraîchement coupée, le patchouli et l'innocence. C'était l'acte de naissance, avec De La Soul et les Jungle Brothers, de ce qu'on a appelé la "Native Tongues", cette mouvance qui prônait l'Afrocentricité positive, l'humour et une approche de la musique complètement décomplexée. Le sampling n'était plus une arme, mais une palette de peintre. Et quelle palette ! Q-Tip et Ali Shaheed Muhammad, en véritables archéologues du groove, sont allés déterrer des pépites improbables. On y trouve du Lou Reed ("Can I Kick It?", ce classique absolu qui repose sur "Walk on the Wild Side"), du Roy Ayers, du Weather Report... Tout un pan de la musique noire (et blanche) que le rap "sérieux" avait superbement ignoré. Le résultat est un disque qui flotte, un long road-trip nonchalant sous un soleil de fin d'après-midi. Les thèmes abordés sont à des années-lumière des préoccupations habituelles des rappeurs. On parle de végétarisme ("Ham 'n' Eggs"), de road-trip foireux ("I Left My Wallet in El Segundo"), de sexe, mais avec une candeur presque adolescente. Q-Tip, avec sa voix si particulière, feutrée et nasillarde, est le guide parfait pour cette balade. Phife Dawg, lui, est encore un peu en retrait, le sidekick rigolo qui balance quelques punchlines bien senties, mais on sent déjà la complicité qui éclatera sur leurs albums suivants. Quand je repense à mes années de disquaire, entre 1996 et 2007, cet album avait une place à part. C'était le disque que tu conseillais au client qui disait "le rap, c'est pas pour moi, c'est trop violent". Tu lui mettais "Can I Kick It?" entre les mains et tu voyais son visage s'éclairer. C'était une porte d'entrée, un pont entre les genres. Il ne s'en vendait pas des caisses, bien sûr. Les gamins voulaient du 2Pac ou du Wu-Tang. Mais les vrais, les curieux, repartaient toujours avec un petit sourire en coin, comme s'ils venaient de découvrir un secret. Alors, pourquoi seulement 4 sur 5 ? Pourquoi ne pas crier au chef-d'oeuvre absolu ? Parce que "People's Instinctive Travels…" est un premier album. Et il en a tous les charmes et tous les défauts. C'est un disque génial, mais aussi un peu naïf, parfois un peu longuet. Il y a quelques errements, quelques morceaux plus faibles qui cassent un peu le rythme. C'est un diamant brut, encore un peu maladroit. La production, bien que révolutionnaire, n'a pas encore la profondeur et la perfection de ce qu'ils allaient accomplir un an plus tard avec le monumental "The Low End Theory". Ce premier essai, c'est le brouillon de génie, l'esquisse qui pose les bases. Le chef-d'oeuvre, le vrai, c'est le suivant. Mais ne vous y trompez pas. Ce disque est essentiel. Il a ouvert une voie, une troisième voie dans un rap qui semblait se diriger vers une confrontation inévitable. Il a prouvé qu'on pouvait être intelligent sans être chiant, cool sans être poseur, et profondément hip-hop sans jamais lever le poing ou sortir un flingue. C'est l'album qui a ramené le "fun" dans le funk, et qui a rappelé à tout le monde que le rap, avant d'être un combat, était avant tout une musique. Une musique qui pouvait, elle aussi, raconter les voyages instinctifs de l'âme et les chemins sinueux du rythme. Un disque fondamental pour comprendre tout un pan du hip-hop qui a suivi, de The Roots à Mos Def en passant par Common. Une bouffée d'air frais qui, même 35 ans plus tard, n'a pas pris une ride.

2 балла за теплоту и ламповость, итого 2

One of the great debuts of all time; not only for the tremendous songwriting and production on display, but for how it was able to bring an entire genre to the next level of evolution. Tribe's effortless lyricism accompanying timeless beats leaves a lasting impact and influence that would stretch way beyond hiphop.

These tribe members rap with such absurd, effortless intelligence that listening to their flows feels like witnessing rhythmic conjuration disguised as everyday conversation.

Good fun listen

Enjoyable! Their later stuff sounds even better but this eases to a 4

Dated but fun!

Liked a lot!!👏🏼

Perfection

Certainly milestone early hip hop. Good for a while but cannot listen several days to it

Ugh this is just good hiphop at its best w the samples and the lyrics and everything

Layed back, og knap så GggGGgangster som vi har besøgt jævnligt. Jazz-hop måske? 🤔

To dage med to Hip Hop albums. Og sjældent har der været så stor forskel på lyden og stemningen. ATCQ er laidback jazz-hop. Det er lækre flows og sjove beskrivelser. Ikke et top album, men noget af det bedste Hip Hop vi har haft

I added this one to my library.

Timeless, great album

Good bumping beat. Some old faces like Bonita Applebulm and some new discoveries. Will keep coming back

I wont lie i was kind of half listening. The album started as story type rap then transitioned to lyricism. I feel it was more old, vibe type rap where u just chillen with ur friends but doin a little shimmy.

Sometimes I can have a hard time to find earlier Hip.Hop entertaining to listen to. This album though had a really nice and what felt ahead of time beat selection and from the first track you can tell how good both their pen and performance is. This album gives me more perspective on them as a group and the future success they would have after this album makes a lot of sense.

Great old school hip-hop

Amazing debut. Meticulously produced, great use of samples, interesting lyrics, at times funny and charming. Just a perfect classic hip hop album.

First Wu Tang, then Lauryn Hill, and now A Tribe Called Quest. I've been getting a lot of 90's Hip-Hop groups I've been meaning to listen to for a long time these past 2 weeks. Very enjoyable, and funky album. I liked the way they incorporate all of the samples. There are some really big sample in there that would be really hard to get nowadays. The second half isn't as good, but it is still a pleasant listen. Very high 4 (almost a 5).

classic early 90's hiphop, I can appreciate it but not sure if it's something I'd just put on to causally listen to

A lot of old jams I remember from way back, I didn't realize this was them. Solid chill background music

An iconic album from an iconic group. Excellent music, great songs and solid rhythm. They almost bring a sort of class to genre of the day.

Comically simplistic. Extremely basic beats, extremely basic lines, extremely basic samples. It felt like a sixth form project on hip-hop or something.

Dumb that a greatest hits is on here

Laid back beats, creative samples, and lyrics and flow that were different than anything else at the time with a chill vibe. Hugely influential and you can hear it.

Didn’t like it as much as others from them but still good.

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.

Hip hop at its finest, from top tier sampling to meaningful lyrics

Interesting to see the early roots of hip hop

A lot of fun. Lots of times where I wanted the beat made me feel more like dancing rather than the cleaning and prepping I had to do. The way they chopped samples was really cool. I appreciate the artistry. Not really something I’ll throw on often but I get it.

Can I Kick It? - yes, to the curb I’ve always dismissed these guys based solely on name and I was punished for that with many cringey self references reminding me of the questers. The fourth wall breaks throughout felt forced and may be better suited to a live performance, and I can’t say I particularly enjoyed the tone of the sample drums used. Bearing in mind this was a first of its kind and groundbreaking album both for ATCQ and hip hop in general, they made some fun choices using unique, weird, and surprising samples, but I wish they leaned into that more. This isn’t to say the whole album was terrible to listen to. I genuinely enjoyed tracks like El Segundo and Ham n Eggs. But as a whole, the album has a lot of potential I would hope is expanded upon in the future. Best - I Left My Wallet In El Segundo Worst - Push It Along

Not my usual sort of thing, but this was alright. Bit long though Recognised one or two songs 3 ⭐️

Never realised just how great this album is. The samples are picked from seamingly everywhere. Lots of it seems to have been grabbed from From, Fusion and R&B. I love the flow, the lyricism. Everything here is a joy to listen to. Paced really well too.

Just not my kind of music unfortunately. Surely better than many others I've listened here, so I'll give it a +1, but still just annoying to me.. I'm pretty sure I'll never feel the need to listen to this again

I love A Tribe Called Quest. Their Beats and their Lyrics are amazing. The only bummer is that if you listen at low volume, it all starts to sound the same. This is definitely an "active" listen in my opinion.

Would watch a movie based off of left my wallet in el segundo

Crazy this is probably the third best tribe called quest album

A full rebellion against gangster rap… these guys respect women, misplaced their wallets, and watch their cholesterol.

I'm not very well-versed in early 90s hip hop. This album has inspired me to start going down that rabbit hole because this album is fantastic. The humor and flow in their lyrics are a lot of fun and must have been revolutionary at the time.

This is fun, but not nearly as fun as the pharcyde. The bears are subdued, instead of exuberant.

Gary admitting to eating eggs at the end of Ham n’ Eggs is one of the greatest twists in modern music. Really good album, I mean it has Can I Kick It. Probably a couple songs I could do without, and I do think they have a couple better albums, so I’m gonna go with a 9/10

Great album, looking forward to getting more.

Based on sound alone, I'd give this 3 1/2, maybe a low end 4. But then there was the influence. And it was refreshing to hear rappers just having fun without the need to be tough, so I'm going to round up. I came across this comment on RateYourMusic, and it's so accurate, I will quote it: "This album is like Jordan's rookie year. You already know they're gonna be legends, but there was still room for improvement; their pinnacle was yet to come and there were aspects that they fine-tuned later on."

There was something that just didn't hook me. Like, I feel like the album was stretched thin. There was some tracks I enjoyed (footprints) but more that had me scratching my head (pubic enemy or Ham' n eggs). It was hard to tell if I was supposed to take it seriously or was it just a party album. Iunno maybe it just wasn't for me.

Has to be close to a top ten album now for me. Cannot describe.

This was good. No cussing on a rap album. What?? Unheard of. This took me by surprise.

Already listened to

I want to give it 6 but will give it 3. Go and figure it out

Not that good compared to other albums by them

I just am not a fan of clean rap/hip hop. It’s no fault of these guys, it’s me. So based on who these guys are, they get a pass but nothing stands out for me. I can best sum this up as intelligent Will Smith music. It’s not a sell out like a Will Smith album. There’s a statement being made in this album. It’s just not what I’m looking for. Even with an open mind.

After listening to Eminem, who has talent but is so angry and abrasive, this was a breath of fresh air. Almost the exact opposite - technique is good but not the best, but great jazzy beats and, most importantly, it’s fun! Could stand to be a little shorter, but I liked this one a lot.

This album is cool. It is a whole scene and you definitely want to be in it. The beats and sample are all time, the MCs are slick and the lyrics make you think. It's fun, there's meditations on life and it is an entire album to lean into. You want to be in the crew, from the round-robim tracks to the outtake laughing.

Sick beats

funky rhymes the j Cole remix in the 25th anniversary is the best song imo

Really good, Luck of Lucian is one of my favourite songs of all time, so it was really nice to hear it on hear.

Yes! Yes! YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!

I liked it less than expected

Middle of the road for me was never a massive fan but still groovin

Shmoooove

Super mellow rap. Washes over nice and easy.

I really liked the beats but cannot relate to the lyrics

I’ve heard worse and much better. Kinda smooth jazz level hip hop, not in your face hip hop.

This has some classic hip hop songs

I liked most of this album... I had to break it up into sessions though and I think that the last session was the worst, so it ended on a bad note for me. Still, considering I enjoyed most of the album I'll stick with a low 4.

Enjoyed the beginning more than the end, but I thought it was great overall. Favorite track was Can I Kick It?

A classic from beginning to end. They had such a great sound that pushed the whole genre forward and has stood the test of time. From the blue note jazz samples and break beats to the flowing lyrics. Respect.

It’s Spring of 1994 and you’re 19 years old. 9/11 is 7 years away. The Great Recession hasn’t hit yet and so you are studying English at a small liberal arts college just to become an educated person and you figure a career will take care of itself, if you think about life after college at all. But thinking about making a living isn’t really done because you’re a slacker and you’re alternative and you hate the man. You’re no sell out. You’re no poser. There is no internet, or if there is it’s a weird niche thing that most people don’t pay much attention to. You and your bros are wearing bucket hats and playing hacky sack on the quad or Golden Eye on your roommate’s N64. The sun is shining. You’ve been talking to this girl who you think might be at the party you’re going to tonight. Maybe you’re drinking Natty Light. Maybe you smoked a bowl of shwag that you had to pick the stems and seeds out of for three minutes before you packed it. Maybe you’re smoking a Camel Light. This CD is playing out of a boombox and you and your friends are laughing and singing along and acting goofy and you have no idea how good you have it. You have no fucking idea.

I got the Rhythm

This might be the perfect hip-hop album. It's so well produced and arranged. It's got dance songs, social justice songs, "chillin'" songs - even songs about eating healthy (Ham N'Eggs). This is one you can just turn on in the Summer and vibe to.

Laid back, jazzy, fun, great use of samples.

I bought this when first released. Have always loved this album.

Big fan

I'm not a big hip hop listener but A Tribe Called Quest never disappointed and this album is brilliant. From the lyrics to the instrumentas and samples the flow and feel of this album is amazing.

Some nice samples but over all it´s just Hip-Hop🤷‍♂️

3.5 pretty good

This is very solid. Great lyrics and feel without some of the anger (not NO anger, but maybe a little less) compared to other rap at the time

Funky shit, good stuff

Nothing more clever and groovy than Q-Tip & company!

10/10 I usually find it funny that I started this journey for brand new experiences, but the albums I love the most are the ones from artists I already love. I, however, have never listened to a Tribe Called Quest album from start to end but yeah... Beautiful!

There isn’t very much to say other than that this was the most precocious album of the 1990s

#396. Many high quality rappings to be found here. 3/5: quite Song added to playlist: Ham 'N' Eggs I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book. This list can be found here if you are interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MAXDGLWlwLkFLb8veGfkA?si=FqkQQPgZTFWG0jAUJXLFZA&utm_source=copy-link

Fat basslines and funky drums put modern rap instrumentals to shame. Flow and lyrics are fun, but songs can be a little samey. Favorite songs: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo.

Real funky flow and beats. Knew Tribe Called Quest before, so it wasn't really a suprise to what the album entailed. Overall okay, got pretty repetetive towards the end of the album. Liked "Can I Kick It?" and "Bonita Applebum" but those are the bands most popular anyways.

Chill vibes. I liked the frog solo on After hours. Its good for someone who does not listen to rap

I have mixed feelings about this one. Some of the songs sound quite messy and I don't like the beat nor the flow. Other songs flow well and have great composition

Goddamn this is close to perfect! Long runtime, but it flies by. The sampling is off the charts too.

You will have a hard time finding a more organic sounding hip hop record from this era than this. A Tribe Called Quest was an entirely different entity than the majority of their contemporaries. It’s a long record, but time flies by.

Flojo, no me interesa.

Do you like r&b music? If you do then this album is for you. I like can you kick it it has a good lyrics and great beat. The guy singing it has a good voice. The other songs are decent. I would recommend this album just because of can you kick it.

I didnt really like this song. The songs lyrics were good, but they kinda felt like mush with the song. The song wasnt really good either in my opinion. The music also doesnt really feel good or special. Overall a basic album.

Are you looking for songs that have a cool beat? The songs that are in the album "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" by A tribe called quest may be what you are looking for. I found this album interesting because they build the music up but their voices are very calm. Some parts are energetic while some are just slow which I have never heard before. I think it's a pretty good album so i would recommend it.

the album can I kick it isn't to bad I think it was good but the can I kick it over and over again is annoying even though it is the name of the album its still pretty annoying though the rest of the song is pretty good I don't think its bad or really great I think that its okay like I would listen to it but not all the time what I liked was the lyrics when the can I kick it isn't playing and I like the singers voice its not that bad I think this album is okay and I would recommend listening to it but their are definitely better options

Do you like upbeat, and rhythmic music? Then this is the album for you! The singers' voice is really good for Hip Hop, and he keeps the beat really well. The instruments are really good, and it has a good base line. It also has a good rhythm to it. So, that is why I recommend that you listen to this album.

Do you like upbeat hip-hop? If so, this album is for you! I think this album is perfect for any upbeat hip-hop fans out there. I believe the lead singer's voice has a good range and goes well with the background music. Also, he sang really good hip-hop when this album was released, and his songs still have a good rhythm to them as well.

I really liked almost everything. The samples lyrics instrumentals. Great album totally recommend it 9/10

Wonderful.
