Beskrivning
How does one pay homage to A Tribe Called Quest? Hanif Abdurraqib digs into the group's history and draws from his own experience to reflect on how its distinctive sound resonated among fans like himself. He traces the Tribe's creative career, from their early days as part of the Afrocentric rap collective known as the Native Tongues, through their first three classic albums, to their eventual breakup and long hiatus. Throughout the narrative Abdurraqib connects the music and cultural history to their street-level impact, seeking deeper truths that are not simply heard in the head, but felt in the chest.

Recensioner i media
'Abdurraqib is both perceptive and sharp, with a frequently bold and an intriguingly atypical viewpoint... in writing a book that could make even a naysayer want to hear their music as a matter of urgency, Abdurraqib has provided a perfect epitaph.' Guardian
