I tried to have tempered expectations for Tribe's album but couldn't help being hyped and it beat the hell out of what I saw coming. Great call.

And you just reminded me that while I don't really think this album is necessarily on the same level of expectations as a lot of the albums we're talking about in here, I had pretty damn high expectations and was really anticipating Tip's "The Renaissance" back in '08 and it definitely exceeded what I expected from it. That album stayed in steady rotation for nearly 3 full years.
