This review is from: Amplified (Audio CD)
Before I begin this review, I would just like to say that you will not find too many other A Tribe Called Quest fans than me. From "Peoples Instinctive Travels...." to "The Love Movement", I was and still am a "Quest" fan. "The Low End Theory" is in the top 5 of all time for greatest rap records. From "Bonita Applebum" to "If The Papes Come" to "Check The Rhime" to "Electric Relaxation" to even the heavily slept on "Stressed Out", I have been a supporter of the "Tribe". But I have to sincerely ask Q-Tip what is this? You are the "abstract poetic". You are the leader of a legendary rap group. You wanted to go solo and even though die hard "Tribe" didn't want that to happen we were still prepared to support you. I bought this album the first day it came out and I listened to it twice. This album shouldn't have even be made. Q-Tip should have rode the success of "Vivrant Thang" and still made an album that "Tribe" fans wanted to here. There are like 10 Vivrant Thang songs on the album. On "Quest" albums "The Abstract Poetic" laced us with one or two songs about women and they were done with respect and taste. Now he wants to degrade them by showing them off in his videos. You might as well have called "Breathe And Stop", "Vivrant Thang Part 2", because thats all it is. I understand that the "Tribe" has disbanded and I can live with that. But Q-Tip you have to make yourself look better than this. Even on the "Hot Boys (Remix) w/ Missy, Nas ,Eve and Lil' Mo. After a refreshing song Q-Tip comes in with, Mami what the deal yo!, Ain't no heat hotter than a heat a brother hold. (Q-Tip what is that?) If you ever decide to make another album, please reconsider the concept. I admit "Vivrant Thang" was a tight song. But you shouldn't let one song decide the theme of your album. I sincerely wish you better luck on your next album, but when it comes to reviews you have to call it like you see it.
