We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service: Hype or Hot
By Cal
The long-awaited album by A Tribe Called Quest, We Got it From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service, came 18 years after their last release: The Love Movement. It was released on November 11, 2016 by Epic Records; 8 months after one member, Phife Dawg, passed away. The album features appearances from an eclectic mix of artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, Elton John, and Kanye West. The reason for the delay is relationship issues between the group. It’s their second record ever to reach the Billboard 200 and received wide critical acclaim. The title was created by Phife Dawg before he died and even though Tribe doesn't understand the meaning they kept it in place to honor Phife.
My favorite track off We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service is “Dis Generation” which features Busta Rhymes. My favorite line is “Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow. They are extensions of instinctual soul. It's the highest in commodity grade.” Q-Tip is saying that in this age where rap seems to be mass produced and artificial these few artists (Joey Bada$$, Earl Sweatshirt, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole) are keeping true rap alive by putting their soul into their music.
We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service is a refreshing break from the overly-manufactured rap of today. It has witty lyrics and a killer beat so if you have time I would advise you to check it out.
