Damn, that's what's up!

Solid Walls of Sound

Upon my first listen of the snippets the morning of it's release, I immediately purchased it on iTunes and have been rocking it all weekend. When I say that this album is a huge BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!! Vintage ATCQ but with an updated sound. I love, love, love that they stayed true to their style and didn't stoop low to sound like the awful rap garbage that is trendy right now. ATCQ has always been pure hip hop and its great to see that they still haven't missed a beat all these years. The only thing I will say is, on a couple of tracks on the album, Busta Rhymes sound like he needs to clear his throat or something. He appeared with the group during ATCQ's performance on SNL this weekend and yeah...Busta has eaten one too many cheeseburgers. Dude is huge.

Yo, this album.....is SOOOOO Goddamn good! I didnt know what to expect, but this shit blew me away! I figured it would be "pretty" good, but not fantastic like it is! My favorite so far is "Conrad Tokyo".

A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul releasing new matetial. It's like it's 1991 again lol.

More like 1993 to me, when Midnight Mauruders > Buhloone Mindstate. Nevertheless, LONG LIVE THE NATIVE TONGUES!!!!!!

. I was like oh cool Biz is there then oh wait a sec....

A few years back, The Biz was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes.

Electric Relaxation is still their best tune.

Now streaming free on Spotify. Q-tip is awesome. Check out his vinyl collection:

Lol was considering making a thread here bitching about the lack of a thread about the new album and low and behold I find this one which I'd apparently already clicked on as well!

Anyway I haven't really got around to listening to this properly in one sitting yet but I've heard all the tracks and am really enjoying it, it's great to have one last album from them and it seems so far like a stronger closer to their legacy than The Love Movement. It feels quite different from what they did before while still being identifiably Tribe, which is refreshing, they haven't tried to pretend that the last twenty years of hip-hop never happened but they still seem to have kept the ethos of the group alive. Looking forward to spending more time with it.

I heard some snippets late yesterday. I'm buying it ASAP. It(they) all sounded good but Phife was really killing it on one snippet that i heard. Haven't been this enthusiastic about a Hip Hop record in a long time.


RIP.

Excellent new album! Already rated at 89 on Metacritic! Their performance on SNL was fire!

I have only heard a few songs on Youtube thus far. I like Melatonin.

Has the physical copy come out yet?

OMG I love how protective he was of her touching the albums...hes like....mmmmmmmm let me put that back for you mmkay thanks LOL. A true connosieur

Just got my physical copy last night from Best Buy.

Nice cd. I didn't realize it's been 18 years since their last release.

I love The Space Program, We The People, Solid Wall Of Sound, Dis Generation,

Melatonin, and The Donald. Tribe just picked up where they left off and this is

actually a better effort than 1998's The Love Movement. Phife Dawg R.I.P went out

in style.
