I think that he should have just given it a 10. The fact that they made an album this great after so much turbulence is enough to bring it up an extra point.
This album was such a perfect 2016 album, framed in tragedy both in current events and personal to the group, absolutely RIDICULOUSLY high quality. This year has been a great year for music. His analogy of this album being a last minute three pointer is exactly how I felt
No I heard his dog died while he was in Australia so that's why put that vid of him with his dog at the end. lol I'm not talking about Phife Dawg 😂😂 But RIP to him as well.
best rap album of the year and I dare anyone to tell me different. aint no other hip hop album touching this by a mile, the beats, lyrics, songs, the message came at the right time, well needed for what America is going thru right now. my fav tracks- we the people, whateva will be, enough, black spasmodic, the killing season, movin backwards, Conrad,tokyo, melatonin. r.i.p. phife
sonically Atrocity Exhibition is one of the best things that came out in a long long time to be honest, but yeh, in terms of relevancy and subject matter the ATCQ album is most likely the one people will remember 2016 the most, just like with Kendrick's thing in 2015
Danny brown is fucking amazing and easily my favourite solo hip hop artist but this album is on a different level in terms of how it relates to the current situation, especially considering this was recorded pre-trump winning.
Swaggy J because most of you don't get the genius behind the instrumentation or lyrical consistency of the album. Qtip is a genius on this the beat switches are from all classic rap albums conjured into one big experience, the birth of Kanye west came from this. This is a true 9/10. Anything lower doesn't get it lol
One Dead Pixel Agree. I am a huge Tribe fan and I amiditly didn't like it that much after the first listen but this album grew on me like crazy. It's easily my hip hop album of the year
I got into ATCQ cos of this album I had no idea it was made in 2016 until I heard the features like Kendrick cos it sounded like something they made back in the 90s But thanks to this album I discovered their backlog and managed to find my favourite hip-hop group it's a shame I didn't discover it earlier cos I had been missing out
One Track that REALLY Grew on me... is 'Black Spasmodic'. I was too busy replaying 'The Space Program' / 'Ego' / 'Whateva Will Be' / 'Kids' and 'We The People'... that I started going back towards the middle of the album, and each track i started liking more and more. ESPECIALLY 'Black Spasmodic'. LISTEN to those Drums and Bass!! THEN... when Phife Dawg comes and not only KILLS it.. but the beat gets chopped/looped and it is just MAGNETIC. My head just starts banging!!! When PHIFE starts with "Now WHO want it with the Trini Gladiatior!? Mid-Finger to you haters, you biters not innovators"...OMG.
I can't describe how much this comment is exactly what happened to me. Initially the sounds on The Space Program, We The People..., Dis Generation, Enough!! and Conrad Tokyo were so damn good it took me till like the 10th listen to actually get to the rest of the songs which were in retrospect amazing as well.
This is better to me bc although every song on tpab is arguably in the top 100 hip hops tracks o.a.t, I think this album has arguably the best rap track ever (we the people) and a few other tracks are scary good and deserve to be up there as well
Anthony I swear to god if you don't review the Metallica record I will not do anything actually. But pretty please, with sugar on top, review the fucking album.
Aaaaaaaaand here we go: Metallica is mentioned --> haters enter stage right. He might be avoiding it because no matter what score he gives it the comments section will be a fucking war zone. Personally, I think it's got some of their best stuff since the Black Album and before it. Hate away.
While this year has no definitive legendary record like TPAB was last year, it has been full of stuff right below it like this Tribe album, Telefone, Atrocity Exhibition, and looking into other genres at gems like Lemonade, Blonde, and Malibu. A great all around year for music with a large quantity of quality. A rare combination.
I just bought this album for $6.99 at 3am on Black Friday... I would have paid $20 for it. OMG... this album gets even better on a 2nd listening (start-to-finish). "EGO" I have a feeling will be the next Single off the album... it starts off like a darker "Scenario" beat. It is SO DAMN GOOD. I had to take a break from it and come here just to talk about it. I'm gonna break my damn neck from this shit.
Was I the only one who thought the mixing on this album was kinda shitty? Even though I still like the songs I feel like when I hear some of these songs the mixing makes me feel almost kind of dizzy or confused. Almost like all these things are sort of unorganized.
i love danny man but this is bigger than danny. danny never touched on any of these issues and instead focused on the hippodrome that is drug addiction/ the lifestyles of now. this music is old sage music, reveling in the big shit that matters. very few talk about this social consciousness, danny only dips into it a bit by bit
Jaesun Smith tell me what I don't know and from the ground are my faves. white lines and ain't it funny are good too although I prefer his non-crackhead voice. tribe's LP is better than atrocity exhibition though but the production and sound on the latter is really interesting
this is genuinely the greatest album i’ve ever heard. this should be an 11. the only thing that i would say as even a shrivel of criticism: i wish they got yasiin bey dropping a “thieves in the night” level verse on the killing season, as well as q-tip dropping a verse. that would’ve likely been the greatest song of all time. if they somehow got a phife verse to put on here, that would’ve elevated it even more. and conrad tokyo, which is my favorite song of all time, imagine if tip dropped a verse, like a segway before the euphoric instrumental section (which is the greatest piece of music of all time).
Growing up as a fan of ATCQ, and finally listening to this after 6 years, I found the critique right on point. It’s was great to hear Phife doing what he does best. One thing that’s for sure, Busta is a beast!! And 3Stacks is bananas with his flow and cadence. Strong 💪🏾 strong 💪🏾 NINE!! No to mention the social commentary, space program, kids etc. They hit it all❤🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I hoped for a 10, but anyways a good job Anthony. You introdced me to ATCQ with your classics review, so thanks. This is tied with Atrocity Exhibition and The impossible Kid for my favourite rap album this year.
Never listened to tribe before but i just listened to this whole record earlier today and i rly like it! Is it a good place to start or should I really check out their old stuff before?
The Low End Theory is most's introduction. Their first four are all great. This one as well. The Love Movement is passable, but surprisingly good for a lowpoint.
Listening to the album again mid 24, after the Kanye drama, during the Drake v Kendrick drama, my god does this record just get tighter and more relevant as the years trickle by.
Two Decades was really worth the wait.
CatBiskit Totally agree. I been bumping this shit nonstop since the snl performance.

the most accurate thing I've read in a while
Midnight Marauders is easily their best album. I don't know why most people choose Low End Theory over it.

Morbius
aye this album was great, but ion know about no strong 9. maybe a light to decent 8
lebron james you trippin lil nigga
Corei Wilson Easily a 10 through my ear. Everything I could possibly want in an album.
I agree
If I'm not mistaken, Atrocity Exhibition got a light 9. And I don't think this is better than that.
oh my heart, the ending was too adorable. RIP.
Midnight Maurders is better than the low end theory
Yes
Just adding another entry in the list of “albums Fantano should’ve given a 10 instead of a 9”
Growing up as a fan of ATCQ, and finally listening to this after 6 years, I found the critique right on point. It’s was great to hear Phife doing what he does best. One thing that’s for sure, Busta is a beast!! And 3Stacks is bananas with his flow and cadence. Strong 💪🏾 strong 💪🏾 NINE!! No to mention the social commentary, space program, kids etc. They hit it all❤🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can you review Anonymuz Vice City album bruh
egghead is going to hate on it
+Naiko Exactly, that's why we want him to review it
thatdude_fly psn facts
man that ending really got me....
tribe was like, genuinely 20 years ahead of their time.
I hoped for a 10, but anyways a good job Anthony. You introdced me to ATCQ with your classics review, so thanks. This is tied with Atrocity Exhibition and The impossible Kid for my favourite rap album this year.
*introduced
Mustache/10
El rompe vag1nas I would say an 8 at best.. on the mustache!
I mustache you, Is that a good or bad rating?
I'm sorry about your dog Anthony.
Okay the clip with your dog at the end broke my heart
RIP :(
That ending genuinely made me cry. I'm so sorry for your loss Anthony.
YELLOW SHIRT STRIKES AGAIN
NOT A TEN?????? BUT IT HAS KENDRICK?????? THIS IS INSANEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!! I HATE THE NEEDLEDROP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jargon Bargon lol
good album. It will make you get into their older music if you weren't into them already. Fav track is whateva will be.
Frank Wave I love that track to.
After listening & loving this Tribe album, I had to go back and listen to the earlier albums I have by them.
Frank Wave good call: whateva will be is the best track on the album
its funny how he describes 2016 as one of the most insane years of the modern era 5:50
We took it for granted
Never listened to tribe before but i just listened to this whole record earlier today and i rly like it! Is it a good place to start or should I really check out their old stuff before?
Maël De Luca Check the old stuff just for the fuck of it
The Low End Theory is most's introduction. Their first four are all great. This one as well. The Love Movement is passable, but surprisingly good for a lowpoint.
Jack Windrammer
don't ask don't ask don't even ask me
don't skip around you heard this one. Go to the beginning. To the first album. And hear the progression.
Mathew Howard That was a totally unintentional death grips reference lol
Best comeback album ever
Listening to the album again mid 24, after the Kanye drama, during the Drake v Kendrick drama, my god does this record just get tighter and more relevant as the years trickle by.
'Enough!!' and 'Mobius' are amazing songs!!
Fanta, thank you for the good review.
am I the only one that thinks that mobius is one of the best tracks
THAT BUSTA VERSE, man he was sleeping on it. Some of the craziest flows I've heard
Fantastic review for a fantastic album, love you. And that bit with your dog is too cute
What a great time in my life to get into A Tribe Called Quest, can't wait to hear this album.
