The Love Movement is a 1998 album by hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest. It was the group's fifth and final album of original material. Musically, it followed in the same vein as Beats, Rhymes and Life, featuring the smooth, jazzy beats of The Ummah. Critical reaction was mostly positive, for the album was a return to the original positive sound of their first three albums[citation needed]. The lead single, "Find A Way" secured major airplay on mainstream radio stations, even in the UK and was a particularly good example of the relaxed vibe which defined this farewell album. Although "Like It Like That" was issued on 12" as the second single, the album had no proper second video. However, many songs like Steppin' It Up were played on various radio stations. Only the first fifteen songs are normally featured. The last six songs that are listed are 12" remixes and rarities from Tribe's career that up until then were solely available on vinyl. They only appear on the limited edition of the album.
It was certified gold by RIAA on November 1, 1998.[1]
