Better than anticipated, though not without some pretty major caveats. 'We Got It From Here' could easily be condensed down to about half its track total, with a good chunk being decent but, ultimately, irrelevant. Some of the features feel rather superfluous as well, though I feel their inclusion may have more to do with Phife's untimely demise before the finishing of production.
Regardless, there isn't an album this year that feels quite like this. Tribe's absence from the rap scene has been deeply felt, and even with a couple bum tracks, this has a very warm tone to it almost alien in nature in comparison to today's synthetic, keyboard-driven rap landscape. Recommended for sure. Rip Phife.

A Tribe Called Quest's definitive comeback one-n-dun album is exactly the heavy-hitter 2010s needed.

I gotta tell you, by looking at the tracklist, I fully expected this to be my favorite Tribe album. It really wasn't. Tip, Phife and Jarobi, also, were of course, still great. But there was something missing. Ali Shaheed Muhammad. It was while listening to this record that I realized how truly underrated and important Ali was to Tribe. His absence from the producer role really impacted this record in a bad way. Still, a pretty good goodbye for the group.

"We Got it From Here ... Thank You 4 Your Service" is much more than a celebration of the career of one of the most important Hip-Hop bands. After 18 years without releasing anything, A Tribe Called Quest has released one of the best of this decade. Everything that was used before, was not just a recycling or a different way of telling the same story. The whole effort of the group was to elaborate something different, which went very well. Is there a more enjoyable way to end a career that way?

This is nearly impossible to describe efficiently. A legendary pop group came back after almost 20 years to drop an album just like all their previous work, like the last couple decades haven't aged them a day. One of the members of the group passed away during the production of the album. That makes certain tracks on here borderline depressing. I do not typically expect that from any rapper, and I have immense respect for ATCQ since they did not let that bog down the quality of any track here. There are no low points here. There are no incredibly standout tracks. As a whole, this album is beautiful and clever and one constant highlight.

Obvious reference is obvious: like A Pimp Named Slickback, basically you gotta say this group's whole name... and the latter of course came first, by the by. Excluding Midnight Marauders and being aware of the act's reputation, I don't possess too much experience with Queens, New York-based hip hop titans A Tribe Called Quest. Upon finding out that their latest album would be their last record together, I was pretty curious to hear the thing - and it's a solid listen overall. Released months after Malik Taylor's (aka Phife Dawg) demise, We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service sounds all the more relevant taking into account certain artists recently brandishing a jazz-tinged approach to rap music. Though the mix isn't on par with the quality of most songs here, A Tribe Called Quest's finale is one that's bound to be remembered for years to come. It's meaningful, entertaining, and able to tug on enough heartstrings. Angel recommends: "The Space Program," "Enough!!," "Mobius," "Black Spasmodic," and "The Donald".

some tracks feel dated, especially during the middle part of the album, but atcq still returned with some superb and utteely unique songs that instantly resemble their earlier work. they didn't lose a bit of their identity, and that's the most important factor. the first couple of tracks are really good, and for the most part, this is both a welcome return and a good way to say farewell to one of the most prolific hip hop groups ever. 4+

I don't know what it was like to have heard A Tribe Called Quest's first three albums when they were released, but I'm sure it must've been amazing. Thus, it's a little surreal hearing a new album from the group, especially after the untimely passing of Phife Dawg, may he rest in peace. It's a somewhat dated affair, and some songs have that "old man yells at cloud" type feel to them, but on the whole it's a solid and occasionally excellent record from the Tribe. Q-Tip does well, as expected, and the guest spots also do an excellent job (that Kendrick Lamar's verse is the least memorable of the bunch speaks a lot to the quality of the guest appearances). Ali's production is where the album either hits or misses. Some of the songs sound like tasteful forays into a classic sound with a bit of a modern twist, while others sound disjointed and dated. The hooks are also inconsistent, but when they're on, they're very much on. When it's all said and done, though, "We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service" is a memorable experience, which a group like Tribe is capable of nothing less than.

A seriously great album and why I fell in love with hip hop many years ago. This brilliant album mashes up the ATCQ that you knew before - and seasons it with who the Tribe is now.
