"We got it from Here" remains as one of the best mainstream rap albums of the 2010s, simultaneously an experimental Tribe record that calls upon their best artistic instincts of sampling and verse structure from the ‘90s.
But also in the way it succeeds in presenting a utopic vision for growing old as a rapper, even when the natural course of one’s life decides otherwise.
There’s a grace in handling the memory of Phife, and Tribe’s legacy as a whole, that acts as a guiding light for the album’s brilliance; one that’s often been missing across music when dealing with matters of artistic remembrance."
@mkrwrt poignantly reflects on A Tribe Called Quest's last album on its 10th anniversary. powmag.net/p/a-tribe-called-…

Every drum missing from the drumless beats Stove used to rap on packed into one single.

One of the wildest things about this album (and there are plenty) is how the design & packaging team completely flubbed the artist name & title...
The intended title was actually:
Makaveli The Don
Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
How did the entire Death Row staff miss this??

Fun Fact: 400 Degreez was the highest selling Cash Money Records album of all time until Drake dropped Views in 2016. An impressive 18 year reign.

We went deep w/ MC Eiht about the early days of Compton’s Most Wanted, working out of Lonzo’s studio & meeting N.W.A., playing A-Wax in “Menace II Society,” the infamous riot that 2Pac sparked in Milwaukee, appearing on “m.A.A.d city” & his latest, “The Story of My Life.”
