People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest

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.
