James Acaster here, comedian and music fan, and in 2017, I had a breakdown.

I dealt with that breakdown by as much music from 2016 as I possibly could.

As a result, I now own over 700 albums that came out in

2016 and I'm convinced it's the greatest year for music of all time. But it's not enough me

being convinced. I also want to convince each and every single one of you, plus a guest

every week. I'm going to send them an album in advance. They're going to come on the podcast.

We're going to talk about that album.

This week, my guest is Chloe Pets,

and we're talking about the Tribe Call Quest album.

We got it from here.

Thank you for your service.

A Tribe Called Quest need no introduction at this point.

They're legends in hip-hop, massively influential.

Throughout the 90s, they bought out really seminal jazz rap albums.

Still to this day, most artists in hip-hop are influenced by a tribe called Quest.

Such a huge group made up of really big characters as well.

Jerobi White, Q-tip and Fife Dog, all have their own personalities that really come through.

It's hard to really make the subject positively stated.

Some may hate it and some may overrated.

It's a top story and you rarely see a trend.

So all your psychoanalyst pull out your pad and pen is called the eagle.
