People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

In this album review, I will be exploring all of tracks this album has to offer. 

Discussing the unique sounds throughout the songs, and exploring the style of rap the Tribe made me fall in love with. Mentioning any samples along the way, and hoping to discuss what every song has to bring to the table.

Just know that every song brings a smooth vibe and a smile to my face. A smile of pure happiness. These guys really know how to make life seem simpler, which is what makes the music so great. That is what I love about some music, the ones that make everything seem, just right.

            Before I go into the 1st track I would like to introduce A Tribe Called Quest. What the Tribe has done for me in hip-hop is incredible. The first track I heard from them was Can I Kick It? At this point I was still new to a lot of hip-hop and frankly, I still am. It must have been last year, when I heard it, it was just so smooth. The lyrics from both rappers; which at that point I couldn't distinguish; were so light and heart-warming. I had never heard such a sound in hip-hop. It just sort of amazed me, and I had to find out more. After months of youtubing, I finally bought there first 2 albums. 1990's People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, and 91's The Low End Theory. These two albums would continue to amaze me as everything was still quite new to me. I find once I get hold of the album the songs stand out to me more than a video on the internet would. And at this point, I have the next 2 albums from the Tribe. In my library, they have become a favorite of mine. Everything that I hear from them is just beautiful. Whether it be that there lyrics are always clever and playful, or that the beats are always in my taste. Sure I love all sorts of instrumentals; loving the soul beats from J Dilla and Kanye West; but Q-Tip and Ali did some great work. Every beat just has that taste of funk and jazz, which is great to listen to with such fun lyrics. My point is, the Tribe has such positive vibes that I hadn't seen yet in hip-hop. This has made them my favorite hip-hop group. Still new to Wu-Tang if that explains anything. In fact my friend Stevie recommended this album from other works I selected to review. So without further a due, let's Push it Along and explore People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.
