For the first week of Camp Digs we're breaking down the first album from A Tribe Called Quest, "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm"! This is a classic album that not only earned the very first perfect "5 Mic" rating from The Source, but is also the birth of Tribe, setting them up for their next 2 albums - all the parts are there, it's just Tribe in it's infancy... or as you'll see... their birth.
