Black Music Month

H

All good things come to an end, same can be said, when ego's get the better of you.  Interestingly enough titled 'The Love Movement' is a 1998 album by hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest. Unfortunately little 'Love' was left between the trio.  It was the group's fifth and final album of original material. Musically, it followed in the same vein as Beats, Rhymes and Life, featuring the smooth, and jazz-oriented beats of The Ummah. Critical reaction was mostly positive, for the album was a return to the original positive sound of their first three albums.  The lead single, "Find a Way" secured major airplay on mainstream radio stations, even in the UK and was a particularly good example of the relaxed vibe which defined this farewell album. Despite their odds with each other Tribe Called Quest were innovators, and will always being viewed by rap loyalists as trendsetting Rap political poets.  'Love Movement' was certified the album gold on November 1, 1998
