Got this...haven't listened to it yet

How Phife went out is so tragic and preventable smh :mjcry:
Read this article when you have a chance. It will take you a bit, but worth it. This album is so much more than Tribe feeling the need to come back. Phife wanted so desperately to repair his relationship with Q-Tip that he knew the stress of this process was killing him due to the state of his diabetes, but all he wanted before he went was to mend fences with his lifelong friend.
:mjcry:

This article made me want to wait and not listen to the album until I purchase my own physical copy. I did sneak a listen of that video I posted. I can already tell this album is going to have soul in it beyond what the rest of the music landscape is capable of. Enjoying waiting to cop next friday...there is like a soulfull process in waiting to hear this Tribe album.

I can't wait. I was all excited to buy the album last week and play it when I got home, but they pushed back the release date (felt mad I went to the store and didn't get anything - so I bought Common's latest).

Can't wait for this friday to cop it. The performances on SNL were :ohlawd:. I can feel this album is going to have that soul and political context we need right now.

How were the guest features (mainly Con and Busta)?

@patscorpio, just got done listening to my first listen of ATQ's latest. :wow: I am speechless. This album is fantastic. I loved Schoolboy Q's album, a lot more than I thought I would going in, which was fun to enjoy something when you aren't hyped for it...but damn, I can definitely see this being my AOTY. It is only one album, but I can see this album fitting in nicely with Tribe's first 3 classics. I love J Dilla, but his production style wasn't right for Tribe. BR&L and TLM were good albums, but missing that special Tribe vibe. This one has it. Funky, soulful, playful production. Great lyrics, with rappers seamlessly taking turns rapping. Great guest features.

:blessed:

@patscorpio, Tribe getting that #1 Billboard spot for this week.

:wow:

The group’s new and final album We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 135,000 equivalent album unit sales. Out of that total, 112,000 were traditional sales.

:ohhh:

:blessed:
