The Love Movement

A.T.C.Q.の未来図的サウンド・ワークをみせつけたアルバムだ。スムース・ジャズ要素を含みつつ、温もりあるヒップホップを演出！これまでにないA.T.C.Q.が・・！しかしこのアルバム制作から新たな方向性を生み出した矢先、リリース前に厳重に管理していたはずの音源がリークされブート化。この裏切り行為に突如A.T.C.Q.の解散宣言で幕を閉じた疑惑付きな話題作！

Rumoured to be the last album by A Tribe Called Quest, THE LOVE MOMENT brings listeners back to the elements that made the group famous: beats, rhymes, life, and the added element for this fifth album, love. Actually, Quest have always shown nothing but love for hip-hop, but as the '90s progressed, a parade of selfish, cocky MCs shifted rap's original focus from making people happy to making money. So after a ten-year run, Q-Tip, Phife and Ali Shaheed are closing down shop, but not without leaving us one last gem by which to remember them.
THE LOVE MOVEMENT is a much simpler album than what Tribe followers have been brought up on. The Ummah, a production team made up of Tip, Ali and Jay Dee, has brought a slightly newer twist to Tribe's music. Where songs like "Find A Way" and "The Love" are reminiscent of the abstract sound that the trio best exemplifies, new flavours like "Give Me" and "Steppin' It Up" show their diversity. Still the best at what they do, Tribe Called Quest verify their irreplaceability on THE LOVE MOVEMENT.|
