#1996 Beats Rhymes and Life

It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest returned with a new album in 1996. Hot off the heels of a second classic album in Midnight Mauraders, 3 "long" years had passed. The landscape of hip-hop had changed dramatically from 1993 to 1996. A hardcore sound took over while a radio friendly record wave was on the horizon. Tribe released what was considered a very divisive album. Less Phife, a new edition in the emcee Consequence, and a new production team that included Jay Dee aka J. Dilla. Fans were mixed on the final offering. Let's talk about it!S/O to the guest for this episode: Marcus J.
