yall are buggin..i love this album, forever a summer classic to me, beats are smooth as fuck, and phife actually shows sign of finding his style,...word to brl !

Summer classic? You must have lived through some wack summers.

And Phife sounded horrible on this record. dude, you really need to just shut up sometimes. you obviously have wack taste in music. this album is no classic, but definitely a solid listen.

faux, what albums were you listening to in 95? D'angelo-brown sugar?

Yes, I did own and enjoy Brown Sugar in '95.

And what were you jamming to during those storied summers of '95 and '96, TheMack?

Sorry, i'll get in real Tribe fan mode now, here goes...

I agree, this album is doo-doo, it's all about Midnight Marauders or Low End Theory and maybe People's Instinctive Travels, after that they didn't even deserve a listen!

you're thinking of the q-tip/korn collabo from amplified, an album faux holds in high esteem.

but yeah BR&L is pretty much garbage.

I believe that Ross Hogg--who is generally fairly sensible--has been known to jock this record...

The record I like is not his solo album, but his solo single ("U Know U Want It").

Read up on your readups.

Regardless, it is almost beyond imaginability that the contents of a record called "U Know U Want It" could redeem it's title...

new q tip is cornier than phife

Q-Tip Kravitz = painfully corny

Amplified = better than the last two ATCQ records
(Yeah, I said it)

BR&L had a few good moments. Get A Hold is near classic Tribe schitt to me. Jam, Phony Rappers, Keeping It Moving, The Hop and 1nce Again were all a-ight. But as a whole album? I would not call it a terd compared to most of what's out there, but compared to their first three albums... yeah, I have to admit I think it's kinda terd-like. Put it like this: I'm selling off most of my hip hop vinyl and ripping MP3's of the stuff that I need to have. I did not rip BR&L to MP3.

More than anything I think that the selection of samples was not up to Tribe-level. What really baffles me is that me and some other beat dealers were selling Tip records around this time- I know he had some certifiable heat he could've used on that album if he so chose to. But hey, dudes are artists; you can't knock them if that's their vision they were trying to put out there. I still got crazy respect for those dudes' music regardless.
