TAKING U BACK:


Taking U back to A Classic Album. A Tribe Called Quest critical and commercial success album Midnight Marauders, especially the hit single "Award Tour".

The listener is guided through the program by a robotic voiced woman played by Laurel Dann. As this voice tells the listener at the end of "Award Tour", the meaning of the album's title derives from a figure that "seven times out of ten, we listen to our music at night", hence the "Midnight", and that the word maraud means to loot, and A Tribe Called Quest are "maraud[ing] for ears".

It is one of three A Tribe Called Quest albums on The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. It is also one of three A Tribe Called Quest albums to be certified platinum by the RIAA.
