Iconic af. Too many people only count TLET and MM, but this is a flawless album that deserves a little more recognition.

Album cover so iconic too.

Production sounds so clean at the same time as being dated, but in a very good way.

Totally different vibe and mood to MM and TLET. More upbeat and fundamentalist hip hop at the same time as being alternative too of course. Sounds great loud. The beats are insane as are the drums.

bumping it now and, not saying this is a demerit against the album, but the first 30 seconds do harsh the vibe if you put it on just tryna chill loool

Not gonna lie, my last listen was tough. My personal least favorite tribe album, I’m not an 80s hater but this don’t hold up for me

No matter how much praise atcq it will never be enough. Q tip has one of the most beautiful minds in the genre. With that being said, Phife deserves more praise! One of my favourite voices in rap. This is a classic album start to finish and I gotta thank you for reminding me to listen to it

Cuz this the heavy on the Afrocentric album

Holds up so well today to me

That’s fair man. I genuinely think the opposite. There’s like one miss on the project for me. The opening four tracks are insanely good

Thoughts on The Love Movement?

ngl reading the title I thought this thread was gonna be about some music theory s*** idk

I left my wallet in el Segundo.. left my wallet in el Segundo... LEFT MY WALLET IN SEGUNDO I GOTTA GET IT I GOT GOTS TO GET IT

Imagine losing you wallet in 89/90. People would just walk around with wads of notes in a wallet.

i used to listen to this one heavyyyy back in the day, probably the one i’ve heard most of theirs

I was just thinking how absurd the concept for the song is already, and then how stupid it would sound to zoomers lol

Definition of letting each sound breathe in a song

Beautiful instrumentation. Fugees did well with the sample too

Can I Kick It def one of my fav songs ever, just timeless music. Ham N Eggs has always been dumb and funny lol. El Segundo & Bonita Applebum are classic

You gotta put me on

Phife really shines on this project too

Bonita Applebum is the best song ever

But Footprints is crazy all loud with the bass

Love the album. Great listen for me, near flawless production, some nice features and tip and phife were mostly on point. I like it slightly more than BR&L

Their best album. Tip said he wrote bonita applebum when he was 15

Yeah one of the crazy things about that era was all of those dudes came up with the songs as pause tape demos years before the albums came out. De La with Plug Tunin was similar, and Butterfly of Digable Planets had their whole debut composed and written as a teen too

i like this album, so many amazing songs and clearly they were a special group from the start but the lack of phife on this album hurts it imo and the next 2 albums are just way better imo but its def great
