The Renaissance is dope

Also Midnight Marauders and We Got It From Here best Tribe albums

the renaissance is a great album suuuuper underrated

the renaissance is super classic

dope ass discography.

beats, rhymes, and life a special one to me.

It’s really good.

"MM's" my go to Tribe record, but their first 3 are undeniable.

The first album is eh, I mean it’s almost fully produced by him and Dilla so it’s not terrible but kinda forgettable. His second album is great

I’m ngl he has some spotty moments on his albums but his solo career is brilliant imo

Blue Girl, Caring, You, Gettin Up, Things We Do are some of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life

And you already know Vivrant Thing goes crazy

Footprints one of my favorite songs from them. Especially the ceelo remix

The Renaissance is great, gotta put that one in rotation. Thanks for reminding me

Their best imo

Same.

The debut isn't as good as LET, mainly because it's too long, certain parts drag (Ham 'n' Eggs does not need to be 5+ minutes), and specific details of their sound haven't crystallized yet (Phife is a greater presence on later records). Obviously it has classics and I do like the late night psychedelic vibe of it all.

I feel the opposite way tbh. I feel like a lot of tracks on LET are too short to leave a huge impact on me

Thank you

I’m surprised seeing so many people say its better than LET & MM itt , its a classic album in its own right but I feel like their sound got drastically better on the next 2 albums. They were legit rapping their ass off on MM compared to the first album

Midnight Marauders
The Low End Theory
We Got It From Here
Peoples Instinctive Paths
Beats Rhymes & Life
The Love Moment

Even the love movement is a dope ass album though

Its hella underrated these days. Used to get its flowers for having iconic singles like Can I Kick It and Left My Wallet in El Segundo (maybe more than necessary, and we’re overcorrecting ourselves now), but all the attention is on MM and LET in these times

Finally a good f***ing thread

And the best tribe single ever imo Bonita Applebum

I'll be honest and say I don't revisit it in full as much as Low End Theory, MM, We Got it From Here and BR&L but it's still foundational

Let us have this bro

Kamaal the Abstract is great f***in music.

Electric Relaxation takes that spot for me but Bonita Applebaum is worthy of sharing space fs

Im probably biased cos of Wayan Bros intro
