A quest into the past with debut album People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm pivitol introduction of peaceful journey for A Tribe Called Quest. Leading this album off with an infant crying shows the group's state. "Push It Along" contains a perfect guitar section smoothed out by a saxophone bridge. Speeding up the pace on "Luck Of Lucien" incorporating a slick horn sample to accent the storyline. Tackling social issues and everday life or its nights on "After Hours" narrated by Q-Tip with awareness of his surroundings. Sampling a 70's groove over a break beat, "Footprints" contains a simple horn section to complete the track. On another excursion "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" underlined by a Spanish theme follows the album's descriptive goal. "Pubic Enemy" is more or less a public announcement of unsafe sex and the reality of disease without protection. A classic all its own, "Bonita Applebum" is the highlight of this album with its original score and rhyme pattern of nearly a love song or poetry. Questioning "Can I Kick It?" was answered in in two verses that could have been simply said, yes! "Youthful Expression" is an upbeat tune with a groovy guitar sample and organ keys contributed to the flow with lyrical contents "...Phife, Jarobi, Ali / told me / get the force like Wan Kanobi..." Keeping the rhythmatic tracks on beat, the song "Rhythm (Devoted To The Art Of Moving Butts)" zero in on its attempt to keep you in tuned with this head nodder. Giving props to the rhythm provider, producer and DJ, "Mr. Muhammad", the spotlight was actually taken by one of the few appearances of Phife. "Go Ahead In The Rain" takes the feel of roller rink days skating somehow, but stays on track with the overall feel of the album's concept. Concluding this fourteen track album with "Description Of A Fool" is another fairytale that is all so non-fictional. All of the titles included captured both the travels and the rhythm of the LP's title with a variety within its circumference. This Quest was brought to you by Q-Tip, Phife, Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Jarobi uniting to form a Tribe.
