Análisis (en inglés) - :
Just over a year after {$A Tribe Called Quest} issued its final album, the group's nominal frontman {$Q-Tip} issued his debut solo album, {^Amplified}. For {$Tribe} fans able to get over the fact that {$Q-Tip} isn't trading off on rhymes with {$Phife Dog} and {$Ali} as usual, {^Amplified} is an excellent work, almost up to the same level as the group's underrated final {@Jive} album, {^The Love Movement}. The sound here is very similar to {^The Love Movement}, obviously no coincidence since production credits throughout go to {$Jay Dee} and {$Q-Tip} for {$the Ummah}, the same combo that produced most of {$A Tribe Called Quest}'s material. It's a style that emphasizes deep grooves and clipped beats with a polished sheen that takes {$Tribe}'s jazz-rap into the age of quiet storm and fusion. {$Q-Tip}'s rapping is as smooth and inventive as ever, though it's a mild surprise that he doesn't include any message tracks (most {$Tribe} albums have at least one or two). The band's breakup was a blow to hip-hop fans all over the world, but {^Amplified} will make everyone feel much better. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
