Plus Dave Chapelle hosting after Trump becoming president. Haven't given af about SNL in a decade but this is mandatory viewing
 
Man the beginning of Space Program with Tip and Phife going back and fourth gave me goosebumps, reminded me of "Steve Biko". Been waiting for too long for this.

Also love the samples slid in there from previous Tribe songs, like on Space Program they used the same background chant/voices from God lives through.
 
I loved the whole tributes to Phife on the record ... quite emotional on first listening. I went to see Busta this summer, in June I think and midway through his performance a picture of Phife appeared on the stage behind him and he turned, and gave his respects. Crowd applauded. Phife always incorporated his Caribbean roots into his rhymes and Busta being Jamaican too was vocal with his on the album ...

I also peeped the subtle tribute to Prince on 'Movin Backwards' with Anderson. Paak

'Conrad Tokyo' as the name suggests is so futuristic. Q-Tip showed on this album why he's a mastermind in music production... been feigning for music from him since The Renaissance released 8 years ago

Album is fuckin dope...
