Il y a de nombreuses façons de fêter un anniversaire, mais quand il s’agit de célébrer les 25 ans d’un album, en l’occurrence « People’s Instinctive Travels & the Paths of Rhythm » de A Tribe Called Quest, rien ne veut la musique comme nous le prouve encore Wax Poetics et Who Sampled qui ont demandé à Chris Read de mixer leur sélection. Comme on peut s’y attendre, on y retrouve les morceaux de cet album, mais aussi et surtout quantité des originaux des samples qui ont servi à la création de l’album, de Roy Ayers à Loo Reed en passant par The Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder et bien d’autres encore, rendant parfaitement honneur aux paroles d’Ali Shaheed Muhammad qui, parlant de ce premier album, disait : « We were like virgins. If you could capture and pull out the chemical make up of your dreams coming true—it’s happening and at the same time you’re a teenager—if you could extract that, it would be euphoric for all ages and all time periods. And I think that was what was in that album, because we were living our dreams. »
