"Description of a Fool" is a debut single from the hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest. This the first single from the album, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. The song contains a sample of "Running Away" by Roy Ayers (1977). This song calls out toxic masculinity, drug dealers, and domestic abusers.
Critical reception edit
An account named OGNickMarsh commented on Focus Hip Hop,
"This was A Tribe Called Quest’s very first single. It’s starting now. The beat’s pretty dope. The first verse from Q-Tip was cool. Damn… He actually murdered that second verse. That was probably his best verse on the whole album to be honest. He finally kinda switched up his flow. He sounded great. Oh. Okay, the song’s pretty much over now. There’s a LONG ass instrumental outro. The beat keeps going for like two whole minutes before the track actually ends. I don’t really mind it that much tho. The beat is really dope. Maybe Phife should’ve spit something… Eh. Whatever. I fuck with this track. I don’t know if I would’ve chosen it as an outro, but it’s still a good song. 4/5".[1]
