Nov 15, 2016I was hoping for a good album, with a few great tracks. What we got was the spiritual successor to Midnight Marauders. I haven't played anything else since its release...wow.

Nov 16, 2016This album came at the exact right time. I honestly was skeptical about this being any good, but holy balls was I wrong. Also, De La and Tribe both released new albums in 2016! What a crazy year its been.

Nov 16, 2016A Tribe Called Quest has been my favourite Rap Group of all time and they did not disappoint with this comeback album. It is more than I could've ever asked from a comeback album.
-
Nov 17, 2016Amazing album. I have been a long-time Tribe Called Quest fan and when I heard this album was coming out I was a little worried. This album manages to sound like an album from the 90s but also leaves with a feel from 2016.
-
Nov 27, 2016A perfect finale. Although there is plenty of nostalgia in this record, it is not a recreation of ATCQ's old style. The music is beautiful and dynamic, somtimes smooth others hard. The tributes to Phife Dawg are fantastic too. I am glad to hear that Jarobi is on the album and delivers fantastic verses.

Nov 17, 2016Quality + Poignancy + Timeliness + Nostalgia = Album Of The Year
This album somehow exceeded all expectations. Q-tip's production is nearly flawless. The lyrics are almost prescient. And they pay enough homage to Phife without allowing it to weigh the album down. This could've been a worn out victory lap of an album; instead, Tribe goes out on top. -
Apr 15, 2017Almost 20 years later these guys come out with an album that is old school, and is their good bye to rap but these guys ended it with a great album talking about the issues in the world but also talking about rap and they even give shout out to rappers they like themselves.
-
Jul 12, 2018Pure Hip-Hop with heavy and creative beats, inspirated flows and interesting rhymes. Not their best album (listen to The Low End Theory (1991) & Midnight Marauders (1993)), but still amazing and is worth so much. Soon gonna be a classic.

Dec 6, 2016It's been 18 years. 18 YEARS. This... this THING is just downright NASTY and an instant classic from top to bottom. You miss the good ol' days of rap music? Cop this ASAP, no questions asked.

Nov 18, 2016Shockingly, this is my first time listening to a Quest album and I am heavily impressed and WILL be going back to enjoy their earlier albums. Highlights of this album are The Space Program and Solid Wall of Sound. Love all the features and the lyrics seem relevant to today.

Jun 9, 2018A triumphant return for Tribe. I can safely say this is one of the best comeback albums ever recorded. Not a single weak verse, feature, hook or instrumental. Tribe manages to maintain their signature jazz and east coast sound while adapting to modern lyrical themes. This record solidifies A Tribe Called Quest as the most prolific hip hop group ever conceived.
-
Nov 15, 2016I had my doubts when they announced a new ATCQ record after almost 20 years — but the Tribe have come correct on this one. The essence is there without being a total throwback to the 90s. The sound is modern and the deliveries are fresh. You can sense all contributors were in sync when it came down to crafting this gem.

Nov 15, 2016I'm not much of a hip-hop fan, but this is an undeniably great album, with some really strong songs - we the people/ Kids/ The space program/ Whateva will be, amongst many others. Guest performers were also all really good. Loved it.

Nov 21, 2016Along with Aesop Rocks album, its refreshing to hear something that sounds like what hip hop used to sound like. Q Tip really shines as he always does, but the last sound beats us over the head with a hammer to remind us Phife Dawg was on this album too.
-
Dec 2, 2016As hip hop branches out into new experimental directions it's nice to kick back and enjoy some classic style hip hop. Within the first two tracks it's like a tonne of classic hip hop being dumped on your ears. The smooth beats, the jazzy cool style, fast, and smart lyrics. I loved this album. A must listen.

Nov 21, 2017Lyrically there's something to be appreciated in every song, but the production in some of the songs was pretty bleh, and I listened to them many times, hoping the songs would grow on me. The rest is excellent though.
-
Feb 6, 2017If only one rap album can be named in 2016, my recommendation will be this one. The best definition of FLOW, a no-doubt perfection. And all time jaw-dropping listening...
-
Mar 11, 2017This is by far the best A Tribe Called Quest album, it's a sort of a goodbye to and by Phife Dawg, it's a way to remind us how fantastic these 4 rappers from Queens really are and to remind us that they still got it.
-
Nov 26, 2019After already boasting one of the greatest discographies in hip-hop history, ATCQ somehow manages to release their best project almost two decades after their debut, despite Phife passing away before the album released. Everything about the album is fantastic: the production, the bars, and the features on this album are absolutely elite.
-
Aug 11, 2018As most "A Tribe Called Quest" albums, this one is bound to go down as a classic. The songs are almost unanimously good, with unique and clever takes on politics, society, and our world. This is likely the last time the members of atcq drop a record, and with them doing such justice to their last project its tough to give anything less than a perfect score.
-
May 20, 2022you can hear them pushing their sound without being enslaved to their previous masterpieces. Shockingly, this is my first time listening to a Quest album and I am heavily impressed and WILL be going back to enjoy their earlier albums. Highlights of this album are The Space Program and Solid Wall of Sound

Jan 7, 2020We Got it From Here... is a Tribe's victory lap featuring their signature stellar production, lyricism, and attitude. Serving as a farewell to late member Phife Dawg, despite being mostly recorded before his death. Boasting great features, such as Andre 3000 and Anderson .Paak, as well as usual suspects in Consequence and Busta Rhymes.

May 10, 2022Oh, the nostalgia! A Tribe Called Quest's presumably last album gives off very 90s vibes in a world full of quickly produced mediocre mumble rap albums! It's just really nice seeing that the last ATCQ album is pure gold.

Jan 6, 2017At 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.
-
The WireDec 21, 2016Sounding 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]
-
UncutDec 20, 2016Tribe 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]
