How A Tribe Called Quest Changed Hip Hop Forever

Camp Digs is diving into the debut album from A Tribe Called Quest, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm! Widely regarded as a classic, this record not only earned the very first perfect “5 Mic” rating from The Source, but also marked the beginning of Tribe’s journey. You can hear all the elements that would later define their sound—playful, experimental, and groundbreaking—just in their earliest form. It’s Tribe in its infancy, or as you’ll see… their birth.
