A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths Of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths Of Rhythm

In 1990, four kids from Queens (Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Jarobi White) changed hip-hop forever. Throughout the record they zig-zag between the observational, the enlightened and the anecdotal.

While a lot of hip-hop was stuck in macho posturing, Tribe were getting down to beats with a lot of flavour, asking Can I Kick It? (yes you can). Lifted and grounded at the same time. Ali Shaheed Muhammad’s sampling is warm, fresh and experimental. Often cited as the seminal jazz hip-hop record but Muhammad’s use of soul, gospel and rock is beautiful. Instantly recognisable grooves that would later be replicated by DJ Premier (on Illmatic and with Gang Starr), Kanye West and plenty more.

Jarobi White failed to make another album with A Tribe Called Quest, but Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Muhammad would go on to change the face of music, setting out the pathway for underground hip-hop, 90s boom-bap and neo-soul.
