Free Music Notes for People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Free Music Review: Classic , makes so called hip hop of today sound laughable
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm going to take a different approach to reviewing albums on Amazon. Instead of going in depth on each album and describe each album in detail, i'm going to simply rate each album with how many stars I feel each album is worth based on the below criteria. I hope this helps you make a better decision on purchasing this album with a simple individual rating. If it doesn't help read another review.
5 stars- Classic, Album goes beyond description, Perfect in every way, Could remind you of a certain time or place, Lifetime replay value.
4.5 stars- Near Classic, Incredible album, Maybe only one song that is skippable or just overall doesn't quite deserve classic status. High replay value.
4.0 stars- Awesome album. Very solid album from start to finish. Met every expectation and more. Maybe only one song or two that is skippable or just doesnt' quite deserve a classic or near classic rating. High replay value.
3.5 stars- Above average album. Solid from start to finish but there are a few songs worth skipping. Met expectations, minimal replay value.
3.0 stars- Average album. Nothing bad but nothing great either. After the initial appeal will collect dust.
2.5 stars- Major disappointment. You had high expectations that were ruined as this album is not good at all. There might be only one or two songs worth listening to. No replay value.
2.0 stars- Below average album. This album doesnt bother you to hear as background music but you would rather not listen to it if you didnt have to. No songs really appeal. No replay value.
1.5 stars- Terrible album. Makes one sick to hear it. No songs really appeal but there might be one song that you could stand to hear. Would rather throw in garbage than even waste space in your collection.
1.0 stars- Makes one cringe and the ears bleed!
*keep in mind, each album review might not be based on opinion of the band but the album itself in the bands discography
Free Music Review: Great album defining a lost generation of Rap art
Hit: 5 Stars
Ok, all you young thugs cranking the same "holla" raps need to listen up. I used to love Hip Hop. Then it got played out, thug heavy, uncreative and plutocracized (look it up bitches)by P-Ditty and Wu-Family schlock. Nothing can compare to Tribe Called Quest at their peak. This album was the pinnacle of stylistic raps, groovy rhythms and a track lineage that works as a full album.
They dont make them like this anymore.

Tribe is one of the best hip-hop (and I mean real hip-hop not what passes for it these days) groups of all time. Great album, what else can I say?Free Music Review: The Soundtrack for life's defining moments
Hit: 5 Stars
It's hard to summarize the power of this album in a simple album review. These artists understand the power of communication and they use it effectively. The tracks on this CD are so deep and multi-layered that I still find myself discovering new words and sounds almost 15 years later.
To put it in perspective, I purchased this CD 3 times and I'd buy it again if I had to.
Purchase one: Cassette tape. I listened to it so many times it got warped.
Purchase two: another cassette tape (I STILL didn't have a CD player yet)
Purchase three: CD
If you love strong beats and music with a positive, yet real message you'll groove on this CD.
Free Music Review: The greatest rap album of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is the best rap album ever created. This is why:
1.No one ever will make an album as jazzy and smooth as this. It bleeds with cool, wit, and vibes. Listen to those samples, the beats, the way they are composed. The smooth jazz guitars of Push it Along and a cool wit of After Hours. The only thing I would call dope is this.
2.Tribe cared about everything. The artwork is a freakin' work of art.
The music is, the videos. I don't even care about this stuff!
3.At times, this is actual jazz rap. Many artists have tried to do that,
but failed. Push it Along actually sounds like jazz and hip hop, mixed seamlessly.
4.Where else do you find a love song for rap, that brims with emotion? Soulja Girl? I don't think so. Or emotion like this in general? The beats and rapping have them too? You bet. Listen closely to After Hours, Description of a Fool, Bonita Applebum, Footprints, and Those songs have a lot. Listen to everything. And they put songs like Mr. Muhammad and Go Ahead in The Rain. They balance things? COOL.
5.As a matter of fact, Tribe go through some of the most character filled raps ever. Playful, no nonsense, funny, sultry, cool, positive. Ever noticed how Push It Along's beat at the beginning is dark as night?
6.Least danceable rap album ever. Rolling Stone said that. After Hours? Rhythm (Dedicated to the Art of Moving Butts)? Push It Along? Sure, you can't dance Hammertime or Vanilla Ice (like that's saying anything), but who says you can't dance your own style? Variety in dance? You dang right, people at the dances I go to (oh, wait, I'm done with that ______).
7. I consider Eric B. minor compared to this Muhammad guy. And all respect for the legendary Eric B. and Rakim.
8.Wait a sec? What are some of these songs about? You mean, the greatest hip hop album has some messages and lines still waiting to be discovered? That means the music has been so compelling, I merely just listened to the music the most. Heck yes!
9.The concept of the gospel group. What other rap album has a gospel format? More rap artists should pull off stuff like this. It just feels more complete. Of course, it's rhythm based with positive messages. You'll be feeling on top of the world in no time.
10.Every song on here is a classic, the beats are one of a kind, and it's my favorite rap album and set the bar on what I consider a good rap album. I give high praises to artists that makes every other artists in their genre (or close to similar) have their bar lowered (Amon Tobin), and an album is even more impressive. The whole rap genre, as a matter of fact. And THAT, is impressive. When does THAT happen for people?
11. It has it all. Thanks to George Carlin (hilarious comedian) for pointing out something in his Ten Commandments banter.
This suffers from hyperbole, I know. Oh wait, in your eyes if it does.
