thats ridiculous, - they havent somehow expanded their fanbase in any huge way in the digital era or anything. The same people that liked this album and/or that watched the Netflix documentary are by and large the people that loved em in the 90s and chose to keep up or tap back in.
its an album they made for themselves and each other and their fans, as closure, and it's a pretty great representation of what a reunion album should sound like without falling off or selling out, and somehow still sounding like themselves almost 20 years later. Definitely not just some "cash grab album thrown together posthumously" -- Phife & Tip recorded that shyt together in the same studio with each other, for months and months, before he passed. Phife himself picked the name for the album. Unfortunately Kamaal had to put the finishing touches without Phife, but they'd recorded plenty fully intending to release it as one last proper reunited goodbye album.
speaking as a Tribe fan since the early 90s that was relatively disappointed by Beats Rhymes & Life and The Love Movement albums in real time back then, I think this album is a far better goodbye than they left it at back in 97 and I'm very glad they came back together in time.

What group could ever break up for 20 years and actually make a good album weather you think it holds up to the Tribe standard it’s s great album
I think Tribe are truly the greatest group in hip hop history overall

Still amazed by The Space Program. I absolutely love every second of that song!
It's arguably the best group comeback album ever IMO I can't think of another example at the moment

Never listened to this, is the album dope?
I need to sit down and really listen this again a few times, it's been years since I heard it. I remember it being decent when I first heard it but I put it down to quickly because so many other things dropping and I go on to the next thing right aay so I never gave it proper burn. I was a huge fan back in the days with Low End and Midnight Marauders and they were in heavy rotation (Mainly Low End) for a minute.
U can make an argument for it no doubt. Q-tip's production n influence alone....
Its incredible. Jarobi can rap his ass off 2.....I never knew.....really the perfect ending
