Am 17. April 1990 veröffentlichen A Tribe Called Quest ihr Debüt-Album „People’s Instinctive Travels & the Paths of Rhythm„, das zum Instant-Classic mutierte und der Band unter anderem 5 Mics in der Source einbrachte. Die Wertung hatte damals noch ziemliches Gewicht und wurde selten vergeben.

25 Jahre danach hat Chris Read für Waxpoetics einen Tribute Mix gebastelt, der sich an einigen Sample-Quellen und natürlich auch den Songs des Albums bedient. Lässt sich wunderbar durchhören und startet meinen Montag perfekt.

Mein persönlicher Favorit der Band war und ist immer noch „Midnight Marauders„.

“If you could capture and pull out the chemical make up of your dreams coming true—it’s happening and at the same time you’re a teenager—if you could extract that, it would be euphoric for all ages and all time periods. And I think that was what was in that album, because we were living our dreams.”
