Boom Bap of the Month
Whilst the 'Everyman' persona isn't the most identifiable image in hip-hop music, A tribe Called Quest made it look and sound like a natural element. What other group could make a video like 'Electric Relaxation' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERQzl4xDpXk), which consists of a cab ride to a diner, look like one of the illest days out ever? This month though, it's all about '1nce Again', the lead single off 1996's Beats, Rhymes and Life. The song was produced by Jay Dee/Dilla, who was a part of the production collective 'The Ummah' alongside Tribe's Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
