People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm is the debut album by the alternative hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, released on April 10, 1990, on Jive Records. Though the album was well-received critically, it had little mainstream appeal. The album did earn the band a devoted following, however, within the alternative hip-hop community. People's Instinctive Travels was praised for its lyrical inventiveness and bizarre sense of humour, mixed with socially aware and literate message tracks. The record was given the perfect rating of 5 mics in The Source in 1990. It is one of three Quest albums in The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. Mastered by Darrel Sheinman and Cicely Balston at Gearbox Records.
