It’s crazy how similar yet different this It to De La’s debut, their truly brother records, and this one Is just as fantastic.

Amazing production, especially for It’s time, and obviously incredible chemistry and performances from everyone involved.

Overall, outstanding debut and game changing album.

Losing money in an unfamiliar place in California has never sounded so damn fun. The first 8 tracks on this album are as consistent as you could ever ask for, but the remainder fails to hold up to a similar level of quality. A decent debut that only had hints of what would be in store for one of rap's greatest groups.

Here's my score for this album, no opinions involved (Confused? Check my pinned review in my profile):
1. Sum of alphabet position (Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm - 558)
2. Nearest Fibonacci number to 558 is 610
3. Prime factors of 610 are 2, 5, 61
4. Harmonic frequencies are 2 Hz, 5 Hz, 61 Hz, therefore sum = 68 Hz
5. Combined sum of all the previous steps : 1239
Final score (Combined sum divided by the sum of its digits) : ~83/100
People's Instinctive : 83/100

One of the most uniquely great hip-hop albums to ever be released. There's nothing that sounds quite like this.
