    The whole album is nuts man I think the only songs I'm ambivalent about is The Killing Season and Kids.

    I still can't believe it's been 18 years since The Love Movement. I remember buying that. I believe it dropped the same day as Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life by Jay-Z (which I also bought). I was like 12 years old, in Junior High. Then hearing that Love would be their last album as a group was disheartening to every Tribe fan. Who knew that 18 years later, despite the death of Phife Dawg, they would release another album albeit a #1 album at that. Amazing.

    A Tribe Called Quest’s sixth studio album We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service has reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, Billboard reports. The album sold 135,000 in equivalent album units with 112,000 of those in traditional album sales. Tribe’s last No. 1 album was 1996’s Beats, Rhymes And Life. Today is the late Phife Dawg’s birthday.

    Yesterday, Tribe unveiled the New York City street sign named in Phife’s honor. On Friday, Tribe released the music video for “We the People...,” and earlier this month, they performed on “Saturday Night Live.” In a recent interview, Q-Tip talked about the possibility of a world tour behind their latest album.

    9/10 is exactly what I would give to this album, maybe even 9.5. AOTY

    I don't know how you define "cool". The liner notes are in a pullout poster style. The poster side has 9 panels showing different versions of the cover. The other side has album credits and song lyrics.

    yeah, was thinking they'd go for the pullout poster, they've done that to their previous cd's. The alternate covers thing sounds dope. I think I'll get it
