The record

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1990, Hip Hop, Jazz Rap, Queens, New York 6/26
Matrix #: HIP 96
Condition: VG+, sounds great, lots of marks (CC) | Members: Q-Tip (70' - Alive), Phife D (70' - 16'), Ali Shaheed M (70' - Alive), Jarobi W (71' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Phife Dawg later battled diabetes for years, making his playful early-Tribe voice feel heavier in hindsight after the illness cut his life short in 2016.
- Scene Ecology: The album sits at the heart of Native Tongues, mixing Afrocentric style, jazz samples, teenage humor, and Queens cool into a warmer alternative to harder rap trends.
- Legal Trouble: “Can I Kick It?” famously used Lou Reed’s “Walk On The Wild Side,” with Reed reportedly taking the publishing, turning a classic sample into a costly lesson.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
