GANG STARR Step In The Arena

EPMD Business As Usual

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

With the reigning intensity of The Bomb Squad coming to an end, the inevitable shift in hip hop taste was toward a more user-friendly sound. Featuring jazzed-up production and introducing the very likable personalities of Phife, Jarobi, Ali, and Q-Tip to the country's attention, this album has a lot of fun while not forgetting about social issues that go beyond the music.
