Info for People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (25th Anniversary Edition)

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, Hip-Hop pioneers A Tribe Called Quest have re-released their classic debut album, fully remastered from the original tapes by Grammy-Award winning engineer Bob Power, and includes exclusive new remixes by Pharrell Williams who has remixed 'Bonita Applebum', J.Cole who has remixed 'Can I Kick It?' and CeeLo Green who has remixed and contributed a brand new verse to 'Footprints'.

The album itself is an almost identical version to the original classic. However, it's gotten a fresh twist from Pharrell Williams, CeeLo Green and J. Cole. Williams shares a Neptune-esque beat for 'Bonita Applebum' that gives the song a jazzy and smooth feel. It's a big difference from the overall 90's vibe of the track but very refreshing nonetheless. CeeLo Green's remix of 'Footprints' is given a slight twist that adds even more bounce to the track. The already groovy pace is accentuated with a house-party styled beat.

„I had this album in my head for years before I did it. Looking at it overall, to see the thoughts of a 16 year old gain any kind of acknowledgement makes me feel like I have arrived… But to see it in this incarnation … I’m humbled” (Q-Tip)

“This album means a lot. It was the beginning of our careers; the beginning of our imprint; the beginning of seeing life the way we saw it, and being able to put it down in words and music.” (Ali Shaheed Muhammad)

People’s Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm made its debut in 1990 and came at a crucial time for hip-hop. The Queens-raised childhood friends— Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White—took the traditional hip-hop formula and threw it out the window.

Like their contemporaries in De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers, all of whom would become known as the Native Tongues collective, their lyrical and musical influences were unlike any hip-hop group on the scene. While many built breaks around vintage soul and funk samples, ATCQ utilized samples of jazz and ‘70s rock. Their verses were conversational instead of confrontational, addressing socially conscious topics with laid-back candor and slightly off-kilter humor.
