ethan, Oct 09, 2007

If someone were to come up with a hip-hop time capsule that could store the best material of all time and bury it underground for another to uncover in 50 years' time, there is no question that this CD would be an automatic entry, along with Run-DMC's laceless Adidas shoes and Eric B's gold rope chains. With just their second release, ATCQ cemented their place in history. Jazzy samples underpining some of the best lyrics and tracks ever produced - and each Tribe member coming into their own (perhaps Phife with the biggest improvement, even getting his own track, "Butter"). From the opening lick of "Excursions" to the last chorus of "Scenario", all of it is sheer genius. The saying is true: they don't make 'em like this anymore. Want more proof? Look at VH1's 2007 Hip Hop Honors ceremony; guess which nominee everyone wanted to see finally get respect.
