No disrespect to Kanye or Chance or anyone. But just. You can't really compete for me. The fact that there's a new Tribe album and it's not a mess. It SOUNDS like Tribe. Dude. That's it for me.

Fair enough man, and I feel you. Big time. Trust me. But while ATCQ is one of the first hip-hop groups I got into, and I love them and always will, they've never been my "favorite" band ... though they were probably my favorite hip-hop group before Wu-Tang Forever came out.
Sonic Youth is my favorite band of all time period, and if they were to put their differences aside and release a new album that was good and sounded like Sonic Youth, fuckin' A right, that shit would be my favorite album of the year no question, simply because it would be an answered prayer.
But in 2016, with SY gone, Kanye's my hands-down favorite artist in the world, and I waited three years for Pablo, and I've never listened to an album so much in one year, but it still hits me right in the nuts every single time I hear it. Plus, I finally saw him live touring behind this material, and it was magical. So it's really quite in the bag for him and has been since February 11.
That said, I think I prefer We Got it From Here... to Coloring Book. Because, yeah, it's new Tribe. And that's freaking HUGE.
