I was for the first time searching through the old cd's from my parents and came across this record. I hadn't actually listened to it but now i was ought to and as I expected it was great.
compared to midnight marauders that also released that year, it isn't that outstanding and sometimes I wasn't the biggest fan of Gurus flows but the production is great.
so I think I have to agree with joe88 on this one
WOW WOw Wow wow, this is a great album.
First thing I wanna talk about is the production on this. It's like this mix of the old usual boom bap type beats and the soulful kanye beats and that makes it so easy to listen to. The lyrics are also great but why did he diss mobb deep and Nas, they my hb's man.
I was wondering when it came out and I looked at the date and was; 9 11 was this day right?? but yeah doesn't really matter

Ay, ay, ay, i'm on vacation
Wow, this is why i love tribe. Just mostly fun bangers with incredible production. Although it's not the low end theory this is still a goated album
I mean it's good Ig. I feel like it sometimes misses some energy and the flow can be a little repetitive
AND I DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE MEEE
CAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'D UNDERSTAND
that's Just generational. And I love that everyone quotes this in their review
This album is very strange, kevin does a lot of the production but barely says anything and that is a bit of a shame, the features are very solid tho. Still most of these songs aren't bad but also not crazy good. you have a few highlights like Quadeca's en love spells's features. but as I already said, there are just many songs that aren't as good and that makes it bloated.
fav tracks: pop out, abandon me and red light
Michael Jackson is an artist that is''objectively'' good, but I never really listened to in my spare time or something. It was always a vibe but not something that I would listen to on my own. Until I listened to this (my first full Michael Jackson album) and it blew me away. It has so many different styles infused in this album and oh boy... that 3 track run from Thriller to Billie Jean is unreal. I also don't really get the the girl is mine hate, cuz I love that song. ... read more
there are some bangers on this, but it is so fucking bloated and most of the songs just aren't good. And considering the hype it is a bit dissapointing.
I really love the soulful feel of this album and This has some incredible singing and also amazing rapping. Sometimes the songs drag a bit but It is still a 96 for me.
sleepy flows, boring beats for 33 songs straight, i've never been the biggest fan of earl & mike but this is just not it
WOW... bro made one of the best rap mixtapes in highschool. I love that he brought back the boom bap style and joey's style works so well with the beats.
Survival tactics is a GENERATIONAL song. I know that shit word for word. R.I.P STEEZ
and bye
