The end of an era

Review Score: (6/10)
This album was the beginning of the end for A Tribe. They'd produced some of the genre's greatest albums in the early 90s.

By the time this came out, hip hop was changing a bit. You'll notice that the jazz influence was really non-existent on this one. This has a lot more upbeat, party beats to it; which isn't to say that's bad, but to say that it doesn't seem like the Tribe I grew up on.

Still, Phife and Qtip's lyrics were still solid. One major complaint is the new guy, Consequence, who really doesn't seem to fit in. It was a bad idea; I'm not sure what they were thinking.

Still, this is a decent Tribe release. It's far from their best but still better than most. This was it for them (if you don't count the horrendous Love Movement); the end of an era.
