Biography

Hip-hop luminaries A Tribe Called Quest have released five albums since forming in 1988, the first three of which were hugely critically acclaimed and influential. Featuring MC's Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, and producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad, their debut album wasn't a success at first and was met with mixed reviews. People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (1990) took six years to reach gold… Read more in Amazon's A Tribe Called Quest Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip Hop Masterpiece, July 13, 2000
This review is from: People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (Audio CD)
Quite possibly the finest album in hip hop history. When Tribe came onto the scene in the late 80's, no one in hip hop were the using the type of beats they employed. By mixing jazz and smooth R & B, they created a totally original and innovative sound that still sounds fresh ten years later. Q-Tip is the best MC in the business and has a voice as sweet as honey. He and Phife mesh perfectly together. There is not a bad song on the album and standouts include "Push It Along", "Luck Of Lucien" & "Can I Kick It?". Tribe preach a message of positivity and pride in yourself and your culture. This album was a breath of fresh air amid all the negative vibes and anger that was coming from the hip hop community at the time. This album has stood the test of time and nothing that has come along in hip hop has yet to match it. This is not only a hip hop masterpiece, but a musical masterpiece and it can be compared with the greats of any genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning Of One Of Hip-Hop's Greatest Groups., June 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (Audio CD)
Do you remember when a little crew called the Native Tongues stepped onto the hip-hop scene? Sure you do. Do you remember the last group to drop a debut LP? Yep, it was A Tribe Called Quest. Did this LP change the face of hip-hop? Yes. Did this LP get the recognition it deserved? Nope. Does this LP have both strong lyrics and beats? Of course. Does this album have any hits? Yes, there's "Bonita Applebum", "Can I Kick It?", "Footprints", "Push It Along", "Description Of A Fool", etc. Are there any filler tracks? Not one. Is this album just as good as The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders? Damn right. When should you get this album? RIGHT NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of 1990, May 6, 2006
By 
This review is from: People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (Audio CD)
One of the best albums of 1990, "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" is the Tribe's most under-appreciated and over-shadowed album to date. When you think of classic ATCQ, you think "Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders", but what about the debut that got them started? Although the classics like "bonita applebum" and "can I kick it" are still getting recognition 16 years later, the other tracks on the album are pretty much left in the dark to be slept on & ignored. For me, this album is equal in brilliance to "Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders", and considering this is 1990, it is as fresh as anything they have ever done! Ali Shaheed Muhammad comes 100% correct for their debut, producing straight classics ensuring a strong foundation for Q Tip & Phife Dawg to work with. Yes, and you can bet that both MC's hit you with the non-stop hypnotizing, conscious & creative lyrics throughout. Personally, the only track that does not have as much replay value as the rest is "Ham & Eggs", but then again the concept of this song isn't meant to be dead serious so it's down to taste. Now, if you are a fan of the tribe/early 90's hiphop/Jazzy & Conscious Hiphop then this is for you. Cop this asap! You NEED it. PEACE!

>>>BEST TRACKS, in my opinion, are; Push it along (Pure excellence), Luck of Lucien, Footprints, Can I Kick It & Youthful expression<<<

Lyrics - 10/10
Beats - 10/10
Originality - 9.5/10
Replay Value - 9/10
