This music gets dated. Some of this shit doesn’t age well if you listen to it too late. Some albums are classics because of the impact they had on Hip-Hop culture and because they pave the way for other artist. A Tribe Called Quest didn’t age that well, Nobody listens to it but everyone respects it and it’s legacy. That’s my definition of a classic.
He never said he did not like the music, he said he wouldn't go back too it as often. If you grow up with an artist/group you have an Emotional attachment to their music, their style, their voice etc. Emotional investment is the difference between a Favorite artist, and just an artist you respect for being good, but not for you.
Big thanks to the whole DEHH crew for having me on this review. It was a lot of fun talking about one of my all time favorite groups. Thank you for watching. And most importantly...thank you to A Tribe Called Quest for giving us an incredible album. Rest In Peace Phife
I didn't grow up with Tribe, I started listening to them when I was 18 (5 years ago,) and their first 3 albums became some of my favorites ever. Their creative and positive lyrics along with the beautiful jazz influenced music convey their message in a way no one else could create, even now. I've shown my friends and exes Tribe and made them fans. They are around my age as well. Some aren't even hip hop fans. So I don't think growing up is crucial with connecting to timeless music.
CLAIMofLife When I first heard Tribe, I was living in the Dominican Republic in the early 90's. My cousin used to make mixtapes and send them over with my dad when he came to visit. The first Tribe songs I ever heard were Award Tour and scenario. Til this day I can how blown away I was. There was a genuine feeling of intrigue as to what was going on in the hip hop scene back in New York and I couldn't wait to move back. Kids around our neighborhood in DR loved Tribe when we threw it on and they didn't even speak English. It was fantastic, it still is.
Feefo, I might need you to take an honorary L bruh. We need to make this a political L poll amongst the beautiful people in the comments. I want Drake to personally hand you one. Your opinion is of course respected sir, but we cannot allow this rightful opportunity pass us by.
Favorite albums of 2016: 1. A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service 2. Open Mike Eagle - Hella Personal Film Festival 3. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition 4. clipping. - Splendor & Misery 5. Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid 6. Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
This album defied my expectations. It is Tribe at the top of their game. The features are great (Elton John, Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes... what?!) The production has a vintage quality without feeling stuck in the past. The verses are great. I can't believe I doubted this group. They nailed it.
Tribe left us with another amazing album... It's almost surreal but almost seems to perfect that they are ending their legacy here, and the fact that Phife is gone too. This was a perfect album and I wouldn't change a damn thing. I couldn't thank Tribe enough for this album I feel like Hip-hop really needed it... Solid Wall of Sound is my jam, and Busta and Jarobi were abusing tracks!
Maaaaaan I'm 23 and this album took me back to an era in which I wasn't even born yet. I can't talk about nostalgia because I listened to ATCQ's discography a couple years back, but sonically this album sounded like a mix of 2016 and the 80's. Amazing fucking album.
what does growing up on tribe have to do with enjoying the shit out of the album? im 19, obviously didnt live through tribe time but i enjoyed the shit out of it. i only listened to low end theory prior to that album and i only listened to it once.. listening to this fucking incredible album now multiple times makes me want to listen to their entire discog... it dont matter if u didnt grow up on them cause trust me you will still enjoy the shit out of this album.. top 5 of the year for sure
Definitely think you'll like the rest of their discog. Some will say Beats Rhymes wasn't good but to me there's some gems on there like the opening track and "The Hop."
Julian Wyllie Beats Rhymes and Life was the last cd I ever purchased in the Virgin Mega Store in Times Square. I love that album more today than I did back then.
Julian Wyllie i like to listen to everything, even mumble rap.. i appreciate all kinds of rap, but this album pushed every boundary and i fucking loved it. danny brown, tribe and school killed 2016 imo
jose guerrero I'm glad you liked the album man. Check out their entire catalogue, especially the Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders. They're two of the greatest albums in any genre of music. I could listen to Tribe everyday for the rest of my life.
that's what i never understood Feefo & me the same age.every time the older heads of crew speak of old school hip hop he acts like that it's ancient like it was before his coming of age.like i said i'm the same age & that's the era i grew up on & listened to as a teen it was current & happening during the time period we were kids/teens.I don't fuck with mumble/trap that's the sh*t my upbringing of the 90's hip hop era subconsciously will not allow me to like because it's not of a artistic standard that golden era hip hop set.i once watched a dehh video i can't remember which one but i don't want to misquote what he said but what he basically said is their was no major Latino/Hispanic Hip Hop act's in the '90s.i was like bruh & shocked of him of being Cuban descent he didn't mention Cypress Hill they are of Mexican/Cubano descent they sold 18+ Mil units world wide & they are seminal act of '90s Hip Hop.
I'm 23 and I spent a lot of 2016 revisiting the discography of the greats; Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, Ice-T, etc. Even without the reward of hearing those amazing songs, it would have all been worth it just for how much I appreciated this. I'm with Mike, this was a perfect album. I am retroactively grieving for Phife Dawg.
Hearing tribe shoutout earl Joey and kendrick and Cole makes me so happy because I always thought they were my favourite especially earl so glad he got recognition by a great
You guys are so dope as well man. I cant wait for all of this to payoff one day for you guys cause we appreciate you and need DEHH for the culture. Thank yall again
Personally, out of all the older generation socially-conscious rappers, I think Tribe's production is more accessible than say a Digable Planets, old Common or the grit of Public Enemy. I thought the album was fantastic and as a young Tribe fan I got more than I could've wished for, and I'm happy to have gotten a new record from them in my actual lifetime. I really think this album will and can connect with people 25 and younger.
Julian Wyllie yeah it definitely connected with me they made a really dope album in just about every way but really it was the conscious lyrics and jazzy production hooked me
I'm not saying this in a bad way, it's just sometimes I think you gonna hate something and you don't and vice versa. I wasn't really expecting you not to love this album, but it's all good. greetings from Brazil! you guys got plenty fans out here!
This whole album is on constant loop in my head. And it's not just one song, but just at random times something different will lodge in my brain. Ego, Space Program, We The People, Kids, etc etc. This was such a solid album. Best of 2016 for me.
This album was Perfect and honestly could possibly be my Album of the Year. Im 25 and always listened to Tribe's album. When Phife passed i was sad but hearing him flow perfectly on this made me sad again cause his impact on this project was flawless.
I'm only 14 years old. I was surprised that Tribe made a new album because I didn't expect it. My mom put me on to Tribe and I ended up really liking it and being inspired by it. I've never heard anything like it. Ever. After hearing their new album, I became curious and started researching on basically everything about them. That's basically how The Low End Theory became my favorite Tribe album. Heck, I even own The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders on vinyl. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS BY NOW THAT I'M A FAN. Seriously, I absolutely love their sixth and final album. It paid tribute to Phife so well while not being too optimistic or too solemn. The features with new artists like K. Lamar and Kanye are obviously proof of torch-passing. Let's not forget the features of André 3000, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, Anderson .Paak, and especially Jarobi White. My favorite track on the album is possibly The Donald. I'll definitely get it on vinyl, soon. I listen to Tribe daily on Spotify. Not a single day goes by without me binging on Tribe. I have to say, I feel extremely euphoric and inspired. Thanks to Dead End Hip Hop who made this review for support and great content.
Ok, wow. listening to this review 2 years later and I'm gonna checkout this Tribe album now. This is what's so great about platforms like this. Ya'll are doing a tremendous service to the hiphop community. Keep it goin'.
That flicker at the end hit me. I thought that before he even said it. Such a legendary group came back after all this time, sounded like they've evolved with the times along with us even though they weren't dropping music, yet at the same time I was hit with wave after wave of nostalgia and I'm a 1991 baby. I did my research a long time ago and went through not understanding the minimalistic bars they always had, to cherishing their style as something untouchable in Hip Hop history. They sound perfect on this album. Can't believe Phife was listening.
mlking213 But Nas is family basically since him and Q-Tip from Queens. Common was part of the Native Tongues at one point I believe. I'm not sure about Mos but he would have dope of course
I didn't grow up on Tribe, but they're easily one of my favorite rap groups. I'm only 20 and I will bump Tribe over mumble rap any day. I feel like Feefo is using his age as a cop out to avoid being bashed for not having the same feelings for this album as everyone else. He just doesn't like the older hip hop sound and that's fine, but I'm glad he shows respect for them. I also feel like Beezy is comparing this album too much to LET and MM. that's what I did when I first listened to this album, and I really did not enjoy it on the first listen as much as I do now. Once you realize it can't be compared to 2 of the best hip hop albums and appreciate it for what it is, you really enjoy it. I love this album so much now. RIP Phife
bulletfastspeed Agree with both of you. I would put it under Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory and right above Beats Rhymes and Life. I like Beats Rhymes & Life more today than I did back then. What's remarkable about Tribe is that their only album that Sounds dated is their first. All of their other album sound somewhat contemporary.
this is the hip hop album I needed even though I didn't grow up on ATCQ I was wondering how they sound this year but man this was perfect from beginning to end
I think the most underrated track was Ego personally and I also feel Tip's verse on Black Spasmodic was possibly the best verse on the Album, as soon as I heard Space program I knew I was in for a good ride and boy was I right
I think Beezy holds ATCQ to such a high standard that he thinks the only person worthy of being on their farewell album as a feature is Andre 3000. Its not that the other features were bad its just that they havent earned the right (in his mind) to be featured on the farewell album of such a legendary group. So no matter how good or bad the verse is or was there is still that "you dont belong here" thought in the back of his head. A "you haven't earned the right to take part in this farewell". Just my opinion from watching this. But I enjoyed every second of this album.
i’m an 05 baby. this album pretty much changed my life. this album is why i became a hip hop fan and eventually found artists, and then eventually helped me get out of an identity crisis and become who i am. genuinely. rap is a key component of my life now and i love every second of it. peace ❤️💚🖤
Jet "Among Consequence’s many notable comments and accusations, the emcee called himself “the glue” within A Tribe Called Quest on the group’s fourth album, 1996’s Beats, Rhymes, and Life, which was during the period in which Cons was a member. Specifically, Consequence claimed that he calmed tensions between group members Q-Tip and Phife Dawg. Watching the streamable interview, Q-Tip reacted via Twitter with, “GLUE? I gave the nigga a look.” The quote, directed at Consequence, refers to ATCQ’s including the aspiring, teenaged emcee on their 1993 b-side single “The Chase,” as well as later opportunities."
Jet he got in some stupid shit with kanye too they were supposed to be brothers and consequence does seem like a troubled brother but idk if i hold that against his music i think he's an excellent mc especially on the early kanye shit
Coloring Book Jeffery We got it from here Atrocity Exhibition Konnichiwa Are officially my favorite hip hop albums this year Also I wanna give a shoutout to "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd
Myke: "there wasn't a single second on this i didn't think was perfect" year end top 10 list: Tribe nowhere to be found. damn I wish I was stumbling upon as many masterpieces as you do man, to afford myself not putting THIS in my round up
I think that album is amazing, It did take off where midnight mauraders took off. They have that tribe sound but yet it is current. The album is all over the place and it is beautiful, a great tribute to Phife.
How's it going fellas, just wondering if you guys are going to review the new Rapsody album? Got a massive fan from Australia, keep up the really good content.
i love this album i cried at the end of the album so i kept playing it over and over along with their best of album one of the best albums of 2016 next to de la souls album
Something about Hearing them praise this album and describe some of the layered meanings of it and the album itself just had an amazing vibe to it I fucking love this Channel!
I'm 20 years old and I've never heard a tribe called quest album. So this was my introduction to them and wow... hip hop album of the year. Maybe the last couple of years aside from tpab.
this review made me smile the whole way through especially listening to ken. i've been listening nonstop since it came out and it hasnt even gotten a little stale yet. also, Q-Tip has never ever ever been able to spit like this? Even on the classic tribe shit he never rapped fast he always had the slow sing songy flow. He really blew me away throughout the record
Top 5 Hip Hop/Rap Albums of the Year so far: 1. We Got It From Here - A Tribe Called Quest 2. Blankface - Schoolboy Q 3. Malibu - Anderson Paak (mix of other genres also however) 4. Suns Tirade - Isiah Rashad 5.Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown
I'm 17 years old and LOVE this album. I listen to a lot of hip hop but I never got around to listening to tribe called quest. I was aware of all there albums but never got to them. Thanks to this very album, I'm going back to listen to all of them. Probably best album of the year for me.
just want to make a point for those who havent noticed; if you listen close you can hear a very obvious dub and reggae influence throughout this album, not only in the occasional use of patois, but also in the very delayed-out, extended instrumental passages and super sub-low bass work on certain songs like lost somebody. like dub, there are more than a few songs that allow certain passages to repeat while applying delay and reverb to create a smoked out vibe. there are a few songs that seem to go on and on while slowly adding things, taking things away. like on the space program, where phifes rapping of the chorus just continues for the remainder of the track while various elements come in and out, reverb and delay in tow. there are more examples but you get the idea.
Cut the "I can't connect with it because it's not my generation" bullcrap. If you can't put that shit aside then you shouldn't be listening to music or call yourself a music journalist. I'm in my mid-20s and I can appreciate and enjoy any era or genre of music. Classic rock, jazz, blues, pop, hip hop, r&b, heavy metal, house, edm, country, etc. It doesn't and shouldn't matter. With that said, I honestly think that this particular album is easily the best hip hop album of the year and might go down as a classic.
***** No shit, but to automatically turn your brain off and reject a certain sound of hip hop and let that ruin your enjoyment of a whole project then that's very limiting for someone who is supposed to be some sort of columnist or journalist for a hip hop website. It's A Tribe Called Quest, not freaking Death Grips or some other experimental and/or avant garde musical artist. I'm just saying that the "generation" excuse is a bogus cop-out for anyone who is reviewing an album. I'm not saying he has to like it but the generational gap shouldn't play a factor.
@@CommonSenseless1993 get off your fucking high horse you dumb fuck. He's not saying he didn't like it because tribe is from a different era. He's saying he didn't like it because it's not his type of music. Just because you wanted an excuse to show off how fucking varied you are in your music choices.
I'm 15 and this is the first ATCQ album I've fully listened to, I've listened to a few singles here in there but this album I fell in love with 😍😍 Ego has been on replay for a while😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing this video.... I loved this album from start to finish. Nice to see an intelligent, informed conversation from people on the album.
This album is fucking amazing! It is one of the best albums I've heard in a while! Q Tip spit nasty on this! Phife killed it! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!! Pheefo is off!
I don't understand the mentality of not liking music because you didn't grow up on it. To me good music is good music no matter when it came out.
if it made sense ppl wouldn't listen to the beatles.... it's a stupid opinion... feefo just has a weak taste in music
He's not saying that's why he didn't like it. He said that it's just not the type of music he enjoys.
This music gets dated. Some of this shit doesn’t age well if you listen to it too late.
Some albums are classics because of the impact they had on Hip-Hop culture and because they pave the way for other artist.
A Tribe Called Quest didn’t age that well, Nobody listens to it but everyone respects it and it’s legacy.
That’s my definition of a classic.
He never said he did not like the music, he said he wouldn't go back too it as often. If you grow up with an artist/group you have an Emotional attachment to their music, their style, their voice etc. Emotional investment is the difference between a Favorite artist, and just an artist you respect for being good, but not for you.
Yes! I Wholeheartedly Agree!
Feefo is alone on this one. I'm way younger than him and even I connected with this album.
HAHA HAHA agreed.
HAHA HAHA True! I wasn't even born when Tribe dropped their last album and I almost cried listening to "Lost Somebody".
HAHA HAHA Here's a cookie bruv 🍪
HAHA HAHA i mean its mostly reflecting on current issues, i really dont know how he didnt connect with it.
I gave you a thumbs up, but that profile pic of yours got me feeling salty, man.
Big thanks to the whole DEHH crew for having me on this review. It was a lot of fun talking about one of my all time favorite groups. Thank you for watching. And most importantly...thank you to A Tribe Called Quest for giving us an incredible album. Rest In Peace Phife

Brave Campione Feefo be talking like he is 13 years old lol
Brave Campione yeah I'm saying it's nothing about age it's just someone's taste and this is a great project
Feefo, I might need you to take an honorary L bruh. We need to make this a political L poll amongst the beautiful people in the comments. I want Drake to personally hand you one. Your opinion is of course respected sir, but we cannot allow this rightful opportunity pass us by.
Same. I'm 22.
I’m 89. I didn’t grow up listening to hip hop. But this album was fantastic! I should give this young whipper snapper music a shot

I see your only built for cuban linx album cover and i find your comment valid
Tribe left us with another amazing album... It's almost surreal but almost seems to perfect that they are ending their legacy here, and the fact that Phife is gone too. This was a perfect album and I wouldn't change a damn thing. I couldn't thank Tribe enough for this album I feel like Hip-hop really needed it... Solid Wall of Sound is my jam, and Busta and Jarobi were abusing tracks!
this was the album i needed in my life
AFunkyDiabetic the album was perfect

Feefo is like that little kid sitting at a table with his parents and aunts and uncles lol
Maaaaaan I'm 23 and this album took me back to an era in which I wasn't even born yet. I can't talk about nostalgia because I listened to ATCQ's discography a couple years back, but sonically this album sounded like a mix of 2016 and the 80's. Amazing fucking album.
The ending with the lights hahaha! Good review DEHH!
James Dean yeah man, that was kinda trippy
Phife has his ways man.
It could've been Phife Dawg coming back to haunt Beezy430
what does growing up on tribe have to do with enjoying the shit out of the album? im 19, obviously didnt live through tribe time but i enjoyed the shit out of it. i only listened to low end theory prior to that album and i only listened to it once.. listening to this fucking incredible album now multiple times makes me want to listen to their entire discog... it dont matter if u didnt grow up on them cause trust me you will still enjoy the shit out of this album.. top 5 of the year for sure
Andre 1997 I completely agree.
Definitely think you'll like the rest of their discog. Some will say Beats Rhymes wasn't good but to me there's some gems on there like the opening track and "The Hop."
Andre 1997 Midnight Marauders man. That and the Low End Theory are two of the greatest albums ever conceived.
Julian Wyllie Beats Rhymes and Life was the last cd I ever purchased in the Virgin Mega Store in Times Square. I love that album more today than I did back then.
Julian Wyllie i like to listen to everything, even mumble rap.. i appreciate all kinds of rap, but this album pushed every boundary and i fucking loved it. danny brown, tribe and school killed 2016 imo
I was born in 98 and I love this album idk wth feefo talking bout
jose guerrero right? Feefo ain't even that young, he's like 31. How could he not have heard of Tribe?
LouieV6 he go into hiphop later in his life
jose guerrero I'm glad you liked the album man. Check out their entire catalogue, especially the Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders. They're two of the greatest albums in any genre of music. I could listen to Tribe everyday for the rest of my life.
that's what i never understood Feefo & me the same age.every time the older heads of crew speak of old school hip hop he acts like that it's ancient like it was before his coming of age.like i said i'm the same age & that's the era i grew up on & listened to as a teen it was current & happening during the time period we were kids/teens.I don't fuck with mumble/trap that's the sh*t my upbringing of the 90's hip hop era subconsciously will not allow me to like because it's not of a artistic standard that golden era hip hop set.i once watched a dehh video i can't remember which one but i don't want to misquote what he said but what he basically said is their was no major Latino/Hispanic Hip Hop act's in the '90s.i was like bruh & shocked of him of being Cuban descent he didn't mention Cypress Hill they are of Mexican/Cubano descent they sold 18+ Mil units world wide & they are seminal act of '90s Hip Hop.
Ikr? Born in the same year as you and i'm enjoying the shit outta this album
Contender for hip hop album of the year in my opinion
MH DOOM Hell no I would say blank face, unless Vince Staples or Earl Sweatshirt drop something by the end of the year.
MH DOOM I think it won man
Ohhthatsmalik don't forget by ab soul;he's definitely holding something special

notoreeuzz nope that goes to blank face
Ohhthatsmalik that album is shit
Ohhthatsmalik Nope, this album is way better.
I think Myke's ending really made this review something special. Very touching!
I'm 23 and I spent a lot of 2016 revisiting the discography of the greats; Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, Ice-T, etc.
Even without the reward of hearing those amazing songs, it would have all been worth it just for how much I appreciated this. I'm with Mike, this was a perfect album.
I am retroactively grieving for Phife Dawg.
Nobody talking bout Tip's verse in Black Spasmodic, that shit is PERFECTION.
I meant to speak on that! Didn't remember until I got in the car. Smh
Hearing tribe shoutout earl Joey and kendrick and Cole makes me so happy because I always thought they were my favourite especially earl so glad he got recognition by a great

JUi$Y JoE Nice profile picture baby
Big Popppa 69696969696969 hey brother
Lol this aint Big Quint
Personally, out of all the older generation socially-conscious rappers, I think Tribe's production is more accessible than say a Digable Planets, old Common or the grit of Public Enemy. I thought the album was fantastic and as a young Tribe fan I got more than I could've wished for, and I'm happy to have gotten a new record from them in my actual lifetime. I really think this album will and can connect with people 25 and younger.
Julian Wyllie yeah it definitely connected with me they made a really dope album in just about every way but really it was the conscious lyrics and jazzy production hooked me
Not that it's my first time listening to tribe
Ken said everything you could possibly say about the album...Great Review...beezy430 response was very unexpected,but he did say it was solid.
I know you did fam...just subscribed to your channel.I have some Albums to ask you about.
the ending man... Phife was definitely in the building RIP
I was impressed with this album the way myke and kinge was saying. It is perfect. This might be my favorite hip hop record of 2016.
This is one of the top 20 albums of the year. Not just rap albums, all albums.
Beezy has surprising me lately with his opinions, this one was a shock!
I'm not saying this in a bad way, it's just sometimes I think you gonna hate something and you don't and vice versa. I wasn't really expecting you not to love this album, but it's all good. greetings from Brazil! you guys got plenty fans out here!
I didn't grew up on Tribe, but I got into hip hop through them.
This whole album is on constant loop in my head. And it's not just one song, but just at random times something different will lodge in my brain. Ego, Space Program, We The People, Kids, etc etc. This was such a solid album. Best of 2016 for me.
This is my first time listening to tribe and I loved it
This album was Perfect and honestly could possibly be my Album of the Year. Im 25 and always listened to Tribe's album. When Phife passed i was sad but hearing him flow perfectly on this made me sad again cause his impact on this project was flawless.
Fresh album from Tribe as usual! I'm glad they came out with this RIP Phife
I'm only 14 years old. I was surprised that Tribe made a new album because I didn't expect it. My mom put me on to Tribe and I ended up really liking it and being inspired by it. I've never heard anything like it. Ever. After hearing their new album, I became curious and started researching on basically everything about them.

My favorite track on the album is possibly The Donald. I'll definitely get it on vinyl, soon. I listen to Tribe daily on Spotify. Not a single day goes by without me binging on Tribe. I have to say, I feel extremely euphoric and inspired.

Ok, wow. listening to this review 2 years later and I'm gonna checkout this Tribe album now. This is what's so great about platforms like this. Ya'll are doing a tremendous service to the hiphop community. Keep it goin'.
We didn't deserve this album, but damn did we need it. Thank you for your service, Tribe.
DEHH should do a classic album review of of Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders
I second that! I would definitely be down to do it.
Did you guys have the Ouija board out at the end?!
Holy shit it's Luke James #notthesinger
hahaha nah
That flicker at the end hit me. I thought that before he even said it. Such a legendary group came back after all this time, sounded like they've evolved with the times along with us even though they weren't dropping music, yet at the same time I was hit with wave after wave of nostalgia and I'm a 1991 baby. I did my research a long time ago and went through not understanding the minimalistic bars they always had, to cherishing their style as something untouchable in Hip Hop history. They sound perfect on this album. Can't believe Phife was listening.
I love this album but I'm surprised Mos Def, Common or Nas weren't on it.
leolady5 if common or Nas was on this shit would been more fire
The Montclair Jabrony Or Def, man!
They kept it main crew and I like that. I would have liked a Kanye verse only thing missing.
mlking213 But Nas is family basically since him and Q-Tip from Queens. Common was part of the Native Tongues at one point I believe. I'm not sure about Mos but he would have dope of course
mlking213 Andre was on there so I don't think they made it with just the crew.
I didn't grow up on Tribe, but they're easily one of my favorite rap groups. I'm only 20 and I will bump Tribe over mumble rap any day. I feel like Feefo is using his age as a cop out to avoid being bashed for not having the same feelings for this album as everyone else. He just doesn't like the older hip hop sound and that's fine, but I'm glad he shows respect for them. I also feel like Beezy is comparing this album too much to LET and MM. that's what I did when I first listened to this album, and I really did not enjoy it on the first listen as much as I do now. Once you realize it can't be compared to 2 of the best hip hop albums and appreciate it for what it is, you really enjoy it. I love this album so much now. RIP Phife
This is damn near perfect. I loved this album. It honestly comes close to as good as Midnight Marauders.
bulletfastspeed don't sleep on Beats Rhymes and Life family..
bulletfastspeed Agree with both of you. I would put it under Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory and right above Beats Rhymes and Life. I like Beats Rhymes & Life more today than I did back then. What's remarkable about Tribe is that their only album that Sounds dated is their first. All of their other album sound somewhat contemporary.
Leny Herrera that's true. For me Low End Theory is behind M.M. and BR&L
this is the hip hop album I needed even though I didn't grow up on ATCQ I was wondering how they sound this year but man this was perfect from beginning to end
Conrad Tokyo, Sapporo, Pistachio
honestly watching this channel grow is the most satisfying thing ever
Nothing can take away the dopeness tribe have given over the years so it was a nice farewell album,fav tracks mobius and ego!
I think the most underrated track was Ego personally and I also feel Tip's verse on Black Spasmodic was possibly the best verse on the Album, as soon as I heard Space program I knew I was in for a good ride and boy was I right
I love that they do these thorough album reviews and provide honest insights. All in all, a great album. Sounding like the 90s.
I think Beezy holds ATCQ to such a high standard that he thinks the only person worthy of being on their farewell album as a feature is Andre 3000. Its not that the other features were bad its just that they havent earned the right (in his mind) to be featured on the farewell album of such a legendary group. So no matter how good or bad the verse is or was there is still that "you dont belong here" thought in the back of his head. A "you haven't earned the right to take part in this farewell".
Just my opinion from watching this.
But I enjoyed every second of this album.
i’m an 05 baby. this album pretty much changed my life. this album is why i became a hip hop fan and eventually found artists, and then eventually helped me get out of an identity crisis and become who i am. genuinely. rap is a key component of my life now and i love every second of it. peace ❤️💚🖤
best album in the history of music imo
Myke said he isn't a big consequence fan because of things that he's said, what stuff did consequence say?
Jet "Among Consequence’s many notable comments and accusations, the emcee called himself “the glue” within A Tribe Called Quest on the group’s fourth album, 1996’s Beats, Rhymes, and Life, which was during the period in which Cons was a member. Specifically, Consequence claimed that he calmed tensions between group members Q-Tip and Phife Dawg. Watching the streamable interview, Q-Tip reacted via Twitter with, “GLUE? I gave the nigga a look.” The quote, directed at Consequence, refers to ATCQ’s including the aspiring, teenaged emcee on their 1993 b-side single “The Chase,” as well as later opportunities."
Jet he got in some stupid shit with kanye too they were supposed to be brothers and consequence does seem like a troubled brother but idk if i hold that against his music i think he's an excellent mc especially on the early kanye shit
I'm surprised they missed the Bonita applebum sample on enough
Eden Mugar Yea I caught that too
Eden Mugar dope ass song.Its stucc in my head
This album is in my top five best projects of the year!!!! Hands down. Y'all inspired me to start my own channel by the way
I'm not even a Tribe fan and I loved the album
Coloring Book
Jeffery
We got it from here
Atrocity Exhibition
Konnichiwa
Are officially my favorite hip hop albums this year
Also I wanna give a shoutout to "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd
John Berry that song did start a pretty cancerous trend
John Berry Jeffery hell nah
Careful with the the choice of Skepta as a hip hop album. Some grime fans will stick you
John Berry I like your list, mixture of true hip hop and trendy stuff, like you're just a fan of hip hop in general
The Montclair Jabrony I'm not concerned w/ your opinion mate
Myke: "there wasn't a single second on this i didn't think was perfect"
year end top 10 list: Tribe nowhere to be found.
damn I wish I was stumbling upon as many masterpieces as you do man, to afford myself not putting THIS in my round up
He creates the top 10 list based on how much he listens to an album not the quality
I think that album is amazing, It did take off where midnight mauraders took off. They have that tribe sound but yet it is current. The album is all over the place and it is beautiful, a great tribute to Phife.
Ego, Dis Generation, The Donald, Space Program, Killing Season. My Favorites.
Goddamn this show looks good now. Good job on the quality guys, keep it up
hahah the end!!!! thank you DEHH for your review.
listening to this on thanksgiving. you all thanking tribe in the end gave me the chills
Everytime I listen to their reviews, I find myself going back and listening to the album.
How's it going fellas, just wondering if you guys are going to review the new Rapsody album? Got a massive fan from Australia, keep up the really good content.
i love this album i cried at the end of the album so i kept playing it over and over along with their best of album one of the best albums of 2016 next to de la souls album
Enjoyed the album. enjoyed the DEHH review....except when y'all went in on the Patois. Watch it enuh!
Amazing album. It even dropped at the right moment.
6:09 - the genuine expulsion of air in shock from Myke & Ken(?)
Something about Hearing them praise this album and describe some of the layered meanings of it and the album itself just had an amazing vibe to it I fucking love this Channel!
I felt that we needed a Tribe called Quest album, and they delivered. R.I.P to Phife, I'm going to cherish this just like the other classics.
10/10, I'm younger than Feefo, and I never get where he coming from about older music. Moebius only track I didn't think was amazing.
Thank you for your review
Props to Kinge 👏🏾 this album is very well needed right now.
.

it ends with The Donald.
I'm 18 and I fucking love this album
Same 😊🙌🏾
Silver Enigma it was meh... if lil yachty and lil uzi vert was on it then it would went from a 3 to a 9.6
tyrone trash
I'm 20 years old and I've never heard a tribe called quest album. So this was my introduction to them and wow... hip hop album of the year. Maybe the last couple of years aside from tpab.
Kinge...most accurate and best review.
this review made me smile the whole way through especially listening to ken. i've been listening nonstop since it came out and it hasnt even gotten a little stale yet. also, Q-Tip has never ever ever been able to spit like this? Even on the classic tribe shit he never rapped fast he always had the slow sing songy flow. He really blew me away throughout the record
great tribute and video guys... keep up the awesome discussions
Top 5 Hip Hop/Rap Albums of the Year so far:
1. We Got It From Here - A Tribe Called Quest
2. Blankface - Schoolboy Q
3. Malibu - Anderson Paak (mix of other genres also however)
4. Suns Tirade - Isiah Rashad
5.Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown
I'm 17 years old and LOVE this album. I listen to a lot of hip hop but I never got around to listening to tribe called quest. I was aware of all there albums but never got to them. Thanks to this very album, I'm going back to listen to all of them. Probably best album of the year for me.
Thanks guys, for this review.
I fuckin love Tribe. Oh and btw, I like this set up! The lighting and stuff.. it just works
Can't wait to buy this album.perfect Christmas gift 4 me!
"I mean, I don't know, I'm black"
Hearing Feefo say that this album doesn't bump in the whip broke my heart
That was probably the greatest youtube video ending I've ever seen.
just want to make a point for those who havent noticed; if you listen close you can hear a very obvious dub and reggae influence throughout this album, not only in the occasional use of patois, but also in the very delayed-out, extended instrumental passages and super sub-low bass work on certain songs like lost somebody. like dub, there are more than a few songs that allow certain passages to repeat while applying delay and reverb to create a smoked out vibe. there are a few songs that seem to go on and on while slowly adding things, taking things away. like on the space program, where phifes rapping of the chorus just continues for the remainder of the track while various elements come in and out, reverb and delay in tow. there are more examples but you get the idea.
artsdegree i noticed it too. for me it felt like a tribute to phife's caribbean heritage
Consequence is dope. " Don't Quit Your Day Job! " is super overlooked.
Cut the "I can't connect with it because it's not my generation" bullcrap. If you can't put that shit aside then you shouldn't be listening to music or call yourself a music journalist. I'm in my mid-20s and I can appreciate and enjoy any era or genre of music. Classic rock, jazz, blues, pop, hip hop, r&b, heavy metal, house, edm, country, etc. It doesn't and shouldn't matter. With that said, I honestly think that this particular album is easily the best hip hop album of the year and might go down as a classic.
***** No shit, but to automatically turn your brain off and reject a certain sound of hip hop and let that ruin your enjoyment of a whole project then that's very limiting for someone who is supposed to be some sort of columnist or journalist for a hip hop website. It's A Tribe Called Quest, not freaking Death Grips or some other experimental and/or avant garde musical artist. I'm just saying that the "generation" excuse is a bogus cop-out for anyone who is reviewing an album. I'm not saying he has to like it but the generational gap shouldn't play a factor.
@@CommonSenseless1993 get off your fucking high horse you dumb fuck. He's not saying he didn't like it because tribe is from a different era. He's saying he didn't like it because it's not his type of music. Just because you wanted an excuse to show off how fucking varied you are in your music choices.
B is trippin, this album was amazing
Not too sure if anybody said it in the review but Phife named this album. Nobody knows why he named it what it is but they just went with it.
Damn, Ken mentioned it lol
TheDynamicJAB It's all good, it was at the end haha.
One of my favorite channels value y'all opinion always make valid points
At first I thought Ken got dark and lost weight
I'm 15 and this is the first ATCQ album I've fully listened to, I've listened to a few singles here in there but this album I fell in love with 😍😍 Ego has been on replay for a while😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing this video.... I loved this album from start to finish. Nice to see an intelligent, informed conversation from people on the album.
This album is fucking amazing! It is one of the best albums I've heard in a while! Q Tip spit nasty on this! Phife killed it! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!! Pheefo is off!
