You guys I'm kinda nervous about the new Tribe.
I mean, this is a huge deal. NR, you obviously know what I mean. Sounds like we've been into Tribe for roughly the same amount of time 'cause we're old ass fucks. You vividly remember the golden days, better than I do (I couldn't tell you where I was when I first heard Minight Marauders). Aren't you just a tad worried?
From my experience, almost nobody has been able to soundly pull off a "return" or "reunion" album that matched up to their original shit. Portishead... maybe Mission of Burma... Jay Z. But most who've tried have ended up kinda fucking up their legacy. With Tribe you have the added significance of a founding member dying this year (RIP Phife). So this album can't be a "return" or a "reunion" ... they won't keep going without Phife.. It's gotta be their last statement, and it has a lot to live up to.
I'm pretty sure it will at least be good. But will it be ATCQ-canon worthy? Will it be "great?" I don't know. Would really bum me out to read "meh" reviews of this thing.
