    It's funny how iconic bands get SOOO much leeway with critics and fans. This album is mediocre at best. I'm a huge Tribe fan. Low End and Midnight are two of the best hip-hop albums of all time. This, sadly, should not be mentioned in the same breath as them. 6/10, and that's being generous.

    I grew up on Tribe. i love Tribe. We Got It From Here... wants to be the old TCQ so bad and so many songs start strong, but get weird and end weirder.

    At once nostalgic and forward thinking, mournful and celebratory, it’s a multihued album with a sharp intelligence. In what will be their final work--the band have announced they won’t continue without Phife--Tribe have retaken their throne as hip-hop’s greatest band.

    Sounding like nothing else out there, distinct even from Tribe's previous work, We Got It From Here is political without being preachy, fun without being unintelligent and next level out while being street corner down. A superb swansong. [Jan 2017, p.71]

    Tribe carry their burdens as lightly as they did on rap landmarks such as People's Instinctive Travels and The Low-End Theory. [Feb 2017, p.38]
