The album Tribe Called Quest wanted to make from the very beginning. It's their most even- consistent album of the original trilogy that also includes People's Instinctive Travels... and the Low End Theory. But in spite of this or maybe because of it it's also their most uninteresting. With so many competent tracks there's no chance for something to stand out above the pack like "Scenario" did on Low End Theory or "Can I Kick It" did on People's Instinctive Travels. The celebration is there ("Stir It Up") the jazz drums kick ("Oh My God") and the stand-up bass dribbles keeping perfect pace with Q-Tip's unmistakable mic-touch ("Electric Relaxation"). There's even a Native Tongues armistice/reunion with de la Soul ("Awards Tour"). Although it comes together like a seamless tutorial in jazz hip-hop style it comes together so damn well that it's hard for any one track to excel cursing the album with consistent quality. - - - Tracks - 1 Midnight Marauders Tour Guide - 2 Steve Biko (Stir It Up) - 3 Award Tour - 4 8 Million Stories - 5 Sucka Nigga - 6 Midnight - 7 We Can Get Down - 8 Electric Relaxation - 9 Clap Your Hands - 10 Oh My God - 11 Keep It Rollin' - 12 Chase Pt. 2 - 13 Lyrics to Go - 14 God Lives Through
