| - | '''''People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm''''' is the debut [[alternative hip hop]] album by [[A Tribe Called Quest]], released on [[April 17]], [[1990]] (see [[1990 in music]]). Though the album was well-received critically, it had little mainstream appeal. It did earn the band a devoted following however, within the alternative hip hop community. ''People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm'' was praised for its lyrical inventiveness and bizarre sense of humor, mixed with socially aware and literate [[message track]]s. It is one of three A Tribe Called Quest albums included in [[Source Magazine|The Source Magazine's]] 100 Best Rap Albums. | ||
| - | Critical reviews were generally positive, but many felt that the group's effort was immature and unfocused. [[John Bush]] of [[allmusic]] writes "Tribe perhaps experimented too much on their debut, but they succeeded at much of it, certainly enough to show much promise as a new decade dawned". | + | '''''Slave''''' is the first album by the [[United States|American]] [[funk music|funk]] band [[Slave (band)|Slave]], released in 1977. The album reached number six on the Billboard [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums|Top Soul Albums]] chart and was certified Gold. The single from the album, "[[Slide (Slave song)|Slide]]", reached number one on the Billboard [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|soul]] chart and 32 on the [[Hot 100]]. Original members at this point included Steve Washington, Mark "Drac" Hicks, Mark Adams, Danny Webster, Floyd Miller, Carter Bradley, Orion Wilhoite, Tim Dozier and Tom Lockett. |
