That track Enough is so smooth
-
Man the beginning of Space Program with Tip and Phife going back and fourth gave me goosebumps, reminded me of "Steve Biko". Been waiting for too long for this.
Also love the samples slid in there from previous Tribe songs, like on Space Program they used the same background chant/voices from ? lives through. -
I loved the whole tributes to Phife on the record ... quite emotional on first listening. I went to see Busta this summer, in June I think and midway through his performance a picture of Phife appeared on the stage behind him and he turned, and gave his respects. Crowd applauded. Phife always incorporated his Caribbean roots into his rhymes and Busta being Jamaican too was vocal with his on the album ...
I also peeped the subtle tribute to Prince on 'Movin Backwards' with Anderson. Paak
'Conrad Tokyo' as the name suggests is so futuristic. Q-Tip showed on this album why he's a mastermind in music production... been feigning for music from him since The Renaissance released 8 years ago
Album is ? dope... -
bout halfway through it...def fiyah emoji, sounds like their old work
? stealing my shtick.
5 flame emojis -
I think a lot of people forgot or just dont know that busta rhymes is a legit spitter, and actually represented the true heart and soul of hiphop back in the day.
Dont get me wrong I dont think he is wack now, and i grew up with Busta as my favourite rapper for a very long time, but hes adapted to the scene (which isnt a bad thing).
i love how he is all over this album and sounding like he should -
Shout outs to Yeezus on The Killing Season. I'm glad he found his way onto this album.
-
real rap
-
I needed this ? after that ? election. For all the folks who always whine about today's hip hop make sure you cop this ? .... support more of what you like.
-
Lost somebody almost had me like this
-
Yeah busta was so good on this
-
Their performance on SNL solidified this album as the best of the year. Great album. Phife not being here just hit me with this album. I wish Kanye would've had an actual verse, but they didn't need it. In terms of quality of music, this generation needs to catch up with the 90's Rap Superheroes...

I keep going back to the killing season. Jarobi and Cons did they thing on this track -
Now that I've had a couple of days to digest this album (I have been listening it to it non-stop both on headphones and on a booming system), I think this might be the album of the year.
The production is insane! Wasn't sure what to think when I heard a couple of those songs with the "reverb effect" but it is like they are paying homage to both the past, the present, and the future with their production. They brought in EPMD's deejay (the legendary DJ Scratch) to add that classic scratch sound on a couple of songs, I felt the "reverb" was a shout-out to the classic "dub style" reggae sound (as well as both Busta and Phife chattin' on a few songs), they had a couple classic J. Dilla sound effects for a nice subtle nod to him, Jarobi was surprisingly nice with the flow and Consequence (who I didn't really like on 'The Love Movement') really stepped up his game on this album. (EDIT: Con was actually on 'Beats, Rhymes and Life' not 'The Love Movement')
In fact, it is almost like they made a dope album for old and new fans alike but they added a few extra layers that only the die hard Tribe "stans" would pick up on as well. This is a deeply-layered album and I keep picking up on new things after each listen. (i.e. the "Killing Season"... Kanye's chorus is a true triple entendre... dope) -
Bump this in Headphones 4sho

Yea im willing to call it AOTY so far

he a good artist in general...but his decisions smh....like, in terms of "style", I think he make too many adjustments. It's like he put too much energy in trying to go against what might be expected of him musically... ? ain't even that complicated but he makes it complicated... -

Only a single listen so far. I still have 'The Coloring Book' leading, but this Tribe album is fire.......
