Yeah, I remember most of that stuff. I forgot EPMD - Business As Usual. That was big when it dropped. Also Kool G Rap and DJ Polo. We thought he was nice but his album was far from classic.

Also, X Clan had a bunch of offshoot groups like Isis and Queen Mother Rage.

Their debut was satisfactory because the first song they put out before the album was "Left My Wallet In El Segundo" and that song was wack imo. But they released Bonita Applebum and then they gained a lot of steam shortly after and we couldn't wait on the next album.

I'm roling with Rahlow and the T/S on this, I graduated in 1991 and it was so much dope shit, Geto Boys "We Can't Be Stopped" was banging, KRS-ONE Edutainment came out in 1990, Main Source dropped, De La Soul is Dead, ATCQ dropped LET that year, Compton's Most Wanted, Niggaz for Life, DJ Quik, Ice Cube was dropping heaters,Kool G & Polo and not to mention all the singles, MTV Raps and Rap City was the shit, 1990-1991, man, good times

My senior year was probably one of the best years in HipHop, just a taste.

Well, before A Tribe Called Quest you had De La Soul and The Jungle Brothers. They were all on a song called "Buddy (Remix)" so we were expecting Peoples Instinctive Travels and The Paths Of Rhythm when it dropped. AS far as I remember it, it came out in the summer of 1990, which for me was the summer between 11th and 12th grade. I thought the beats were dope but honestly, they weren't saying anything and that kinda took away from the music.

As far as singles go, the first single was actually "Description of a Fool" which was a dud and didn't have a video. The next single was "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" which was pretty wack imo. Then they released "Bonita Applebaum" along with the remix which was hot. Then the 4th single was "Can I Kick It" b/w "If The Papes Come" which was the first song to use that Lou Donaldson sample that everybody would later use. "If the Papes Come" wasn't on the album, it was just the b-side to "Can I Kick It".

To answer your question, the first album made some noise, but the second album made more noise. They stopped being so damn abstract on the second album and just gave the fans what we wanted, some good ass Hip Hop. The second LP got 5 mics. I can remember when the second Lp came out, when "Scenario" came on at a club everybody would start jumping up and down and getting wild and rowdy..
