Description:
In their decade of existence, A Tribe Called Quest weren't rap's biggest hit makers, but their signature numbers indeed fill this CD with style, eclecticism, and laid-back but deliberate flow; indeed, the group's stature seems to have grown since its 1998 breakup. The continued importance of their music and ideals for many hip-hop fans will only be enhanced by Anthology's 18 tracks (Q-Tip's recent hit "Vivrant Thing," from the Violator album is a bonus track). Those unfamiliar with Tribe's achievement should have their heads and booties set into motion by the fellas' many moods, from the playful "Check the Rhime" and "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" to trenchant commentaries such as "Description of a Fool" and "Sucka Nigga." And with its inclusion here, the somewhat rare and all-the-way out "If the Papes Come" will doubtless reestablish itself as an underground favorite. --Rickey Wright

Pros:
|
A great collection of must haves from hip-hop legends
|
|
Cons:
|
You don't get to experience a lot of great tracks that are not considered the 'hits'
|
|
The biggest disappointment about this album is that there is so many great tracks that didn't get on here.
If this is your first Tribe Called Quest album, you will probably end up selling it and buying the rest anyway, but if you can only have one in your collection, I guess this is the one to go with.
The tribe sound is a mix of jazz, hip-hop, and rap, and they manage to amaze with their creative ingenuity, and musical ability.
