About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Continuing with the subdued, mature stylistic flow of Beats, Rhymes and Life, The Love Movement, the fifth album from A Tribe Called Quest, is the group's subtlest album yet -- which may just be a polite way for saying it's a little monotonous. Throughout the record, Tribe mines the same jazz-flavored, R&B-fueled beats that were the hallmark of Beats. Although the "love" concept provides a thematic cohesion to the album -- almost all of the songs are about love, in one way or another -- the overall effect is quite similar to its immediate predecessor: the music is enthralling for a while, but soon it all sounds a little too familiar. Part of the problem is that Tribe functions on a cerebral level, a point made painfully clear by Busta Rhymes' and Redman's roaring, visceral cameos on "Steppin' It Up." On their own, Tribe favors craft over raw skills. That means there are plenty of pleasures to be had from careful listening, but Tribe has reached a point where it's easier to admire the Ummah's stylish production and the subtle rhymes of Q-Tip, Phife, and Ali Shaheed than it is to outright love them, which is ironic for an album bearing the title The Love Movement.

November 29, 2001: Although coming with a different sound on this album, the Tribe has once again come through on their final album. The neo-jazz sound that is showcased on this album (partially due to the hip hop artists' increasing difficulties in acquiring sample clearances) is ahead of its time on this album, which alienated many listeners at first. However, anyone with an ear to many of the artists at the forefront of today's hip hop underground are sure to hear the Tribe's influence. These groups includes such artists as Slum Village, Jay Dee, and the new works of groups such as De La Soul and Common's last work. A true classic several years ahead of its time.

March 30, 2001: This being the last Tribe album really got to me. I've been a fan of theirs since the ''Bonita Applebum'' days: to see them leave like that messed me up. But tracks like ''Find a Way'', ''His Name is Mutty Ranks'', ''Booty'', and the track with Mos Def bring back that feeling somewhat.
