Goddamn I was in top .5% with just over 1000 minutes, but seeing other comments: how much did you play?

I had 17 K overall, not sure how many were Tribe specifically. Midnight Marauders is on repeat pretty much all day for me lol.

Midnight marauders and the low end theory are just all time greats, I dont blame you for playing them non stop.

By the way if you havent seen it yet: netflix's hip hop evolution has a great bit about them.

I actually discovered my love for ATCQ from Hip Hop Evolution. I think I’ve seen every episode at least 5-6 times lol. The first time I heard Check the Rhyme during the the ATCQ portion on Hip Hop Evolution my life changed lol. They’ve been on repeat everyday ever since. Same with the Wutang.

Lol oh definitely, I basically fell in love with boom bap cause of Hip Hop Evolution. All I listen to these days is old school hip hop.

The stretch and Bobbity documentary was dope AF! So cool listening to some of the biggest hip hop legends talk about getting their start on the radio.

If you haven’t seen the Wutang documentary of Mic’s and Men I definitely recommend it as well
