People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (Jive, 1990) by A Tribe Called Quest


Tribe put out a fantastic debut album.  The production on "Bonita Applebaum" is ridiculously good.  And "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" is really great too.  The album is certainly a classic piece of work, but it didn't see Phife reach his full potential as an emcee.  Fortunately, the group realized this too and made the necessary adjustments for their sophomore masterpiece.
