ATCQ are apparently to drop a new LP in the winter.
A Tribe Called Quest's Phife Dawg says fans should expect the first single from his group's reunion LP to drop in the fall and the album in the winter — the winter of 2004, that is. No, the Tribe's full-fledged reformation isn't going to blast off right away, but we will get a taste of what's to come very soon....
...."Our records sound like we never left," Phife beamed last week on the phone from San Diego. "The chemistry never dwindled. We saw each other for the first time in a minute, but it sounded like we never stopped recording with each other. The voices are pretty much the same. Tip's still got the whole nasal, abstract thing going on. My voice grew a little bit ... that's the only difference, my voice sounds a little older.
Tip and Phife have also been hooking up live. They gave a surprise performance at a De La show in L.A. playing some classics like 'Check The Rhyme" and "Award Tour". It would be good to see.
I just hope to God that they don't ruin the Tribes legacy by releasing a really horrible LP.
