Its just beautiful music :ohlawd:, A hip hop album hasn't delivered like this in a long time for me. I was always De La soul EPMD guy but this is the right project at the perfect time. ON constant repeat in the whip. Everyday I have new favorite song:

We The People :lawd:
Dis Generation :win:
Whateva will be :mindblown:
Wall of Sound :myman:
Black Sposmadic :youngsabo:

:cape:

play it in sequence w/ a good player, but without headphones. I felt the same way initially

It's not a bad song once it gets rolling, but the beginning of it is just too jarring usually for me to ride it out. I don't mind if I forget to skip it though. I treat it more like a bonus track.

album of the year ! ?
Yeah... I think so. We're about 3-4 weeks from the release date and I can only listen to this album and De La's all the way through. I actually feel the music again..... It ain't just about bars, beats, gimmicks and or subject matter. They restored the feeling.

Common's is tight as well, but there's a few tracks that I do skip through now.

Tribe came through for real for this album, I definitely went and bought the physical at best buy

My favorite tracks are We The People, The Space Program, Movin Backwards, Whateva Will Be, Dis Generation, Enough, Conrad Tokyo, Black Spasmodic, Lost Somebody, and The Donald.

This brought back the essence of hiphop, I was in the barbershop the other day and we were discussing the album and Tribe's contribution to hiphop in general

Long live Phife

Say am I 'posed to be dead or doin' life in prison?
Just another dummy caught up in the system
Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford
Verse getting that degree at Stanford or Harvard
Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak, yo
Should I be mentally weak, verse being Malik? Yo
Should I be trapped in the trap? Would you prefer that?
Fourth grade reading level but he knows how to rap
Are you amused by our struggles? The English that's broken?
The weed that I'm smokin'? The guns that I'm totin'?
The drugs that I'm sellin'? No need for improvement
fukk you and who you think I should be, forward movement

Easily AOTY.

ATCQ was ahead of rap in 1993 and nothing has changed since. We use previous ATCQ albums as the benchmark for their work, but if you compare it to work released this year by other artists you can see how flawless the execution is.

ATCQ are professionals. They helped legitimatize this shyt. I never expected anything less than 100% from Q-Tip.
