		<description>Thanx for the correction Keith! 

Special Ed&#039;s flow was sooo crazy!

Although Im not a Rick Ross fan, I really dug how he had Special Ed in that &quot;Maginificent&quot; video.

My favorite Tribe album is definitely Midnight Marauders!</description>

		<description>No offense, Junclassic, but #8 is not supposed to be about Illegal.  &quot;Legal&quot; and &quot;Youngest in Charge&quot; are the names of the first two albums Special Ed dropped and those are what he&#039;s comparing.

I agree with J-Zone that Fear of a Black Planet is a better album than Nation of Millions.  I&#039;ve always thought so.  Nation of Millions was more ground-breaking in its time, but Fear of a Black Planet is a tighter album.  Hearing Nation of Millions for the first time had a much bigger impact on me than Fear did, but when it came to actually listening to them, Fear completely dominated.

As for Tribe Called Quest, I have a hard time deciding if I like People&#039;s Instinctive Travels better or Low End Theory better.  They&#039;re both really good.  I would definitely agree that Midnight Marauders is third.  But I actually think that The Love Movement was pretty good and way better than Beats, Rhymes, and Life.  I think that it actually wound up getting looked down on in part because of the bonus tracks.  If you bought it when it dropped, the CD included 6 bonus tracks at the end.  They included some essential Tribe stuff (Scenario remix) and some poor stuff (Hot Sex on a Platter - worst Tribe song ever), but more importantly, it broke up the vibe of the album entirely.  If you listen to The Love Movement without the bonus tracks, it&#039;s an entirely different album and much more coherent and appealing.  I think that if they had pressed the bonus tracks on a second CD instead of the end of the album, the critical reception might have been very, very different.</description>
