[jzrull88]

Oh Sh*t, son, the Feds!

[wearequizteam]

I'm sick of people saying that today's artists are terrible, talented artists today are being shrouded by comments like that especially in Hip Hop. I love 90's hip hop it was the golden age, but if you keep saying rappers today are all like 50 and lil wayne than that stereotypes just gonna stick, which is not what music and especially hip hop is about. I'm 17 i think a lot of rap today is missing the true essence, but there's loads keeping it alive so don't knock just coz of shit ass sell outs.

[FloppyMary]

@wearequizteam The Roots. 

[mayraluvsu]

[BigExtc]

i wouldn't say hip-hop is dead. I mean it's not illegal to throw on some throwback jams right? But seriously theres some great talent out there today. Q-Tip's stil making music, Atmosphere's hot as hell. quit bitching ppl seriously

[Videogamekid1992]

They should do a live reunion and do this song or Electric Relaxxation. Btw, to the guy who said 90s kids don't know anything about this, my sister introduced me to A Tribe Called Quest years ago. I mean, I might not know as much as the people who heard their songs when they actually came out, but I know a little bit. One thing I know for sure is that they're better than most of those crappy artists these days.

[DutchKalhoun]

Too much rap. Not enough HIP-HOP. Thank goodness I can hear joynts like this and it takes me back to when I actually enjoyed hip-hop.

[jazzmo3]

I think I've heard the chorus somewhere before...it was probably sampled by a new artist on some song. Does any one know?

[henrytweasel]

(Insert generic comment about the death of hip-hop here)

[helicoptersrkool]

Music ain't about talent nowadays, more about branding and looks.

[vinzhall]

TOUTE MA JEUNESSE.....Peace USA

[Phonetik831]

1 of my fav hip hop songs of all time

ATCQ 4life

[AustinSWW]

free masons

[Yesandsowhut]

@AustinSWW Don't ever write that on a page of this artist, they were all but free masons, they where blacks who preached the zulu nation and all. You piece of shit.

[AustinSWW]

@Yesandsowhut HEY! FUCK YOU BUDDY!

[Yesandsowhut]

@AustinSWW Good luck !

[sznj94]

A rap video without a single dislike, that's how good Tribe is. Sweet song.

[MrNoWhereMan1965]

Should of been Aaliyah on the chorus. This beat is crazy. My favorite year for music 1996. this video is smooth.

hair peace and love.

[dj4monie]

@MrNoWhereMan1965 She's on I Live And Die For Hip Hop by Kris Kross and A Junior Mafia track I can't remember the title too, isn't that enough?

[dj4monie]

@MrNoWhereMan1965 She's on I Live And Die For Hip Hop by Kris Kross and A Junior Mafia track I can't remember the title too, isn't that enough? Tammy Lucas has been recording forever and has worked with Teddy Riley often.

[DesaunJ10]

the first video with great music and with a flawless 123-0 likes

[Kiedis95]

Damn, this beat is FIRE!

[WestCoastAllStar1]

Real HIp Hop..

[harddivej]

...i was at Nathalniel Rochester Middle School. I had the '96 Grant Hills. i still caught the power rangers after school. i watched the wayans brothers later on and fresh prince reruns. i stayed on Conkey ave. mortal kombat all day!

[harddivej]

I MISS THIS ERA. PENNY WAS THAT DUDE. RAP CITY WAS DOPE. CLINTON WAS IN OFFICE. CARTOONS WAS DOPE ON SATURDAYS.....AND PLAYSTATION WAS NEW.

[sweety2285]

This brings me back, I love Good 90's hip-hop. Good Hip hop, where are you?? we need you now!!!

[2123marshall]

all those who say hip-hop is lacking creativity need to turn off the garbage they here on the radio and get back where it started.... the underground! some of the all time greatest mc's and music i have been enlightened by i have heard within the last 5 years!

[krazeewookie429]

damn j dilla...FUCKING AMAZING

[v00d00x]

I just feel sorry for most of the hiphop nowadays... I miss the old days the 90's rocked da house for sure!!!

[haitianblack1]

when busta rhymes was skinny.. heheh.. I remember when videos was dat phone. mid 90's conscious hip hop was taking over.

[cristouf4]

When do you come back? We need you in here!!

[pionyang]

[DZA9mm]

[Sonofafireman]

[Ascendiary2012]

Undoubtedly the best hip hop group of all time. Well, then there's the roots. O, and de la soul.

[delorianstar]

[khendriks1]

LOL busta ryhmes at 2:18. The WOO-HAH face.

[nandogbr66]

newfags dont know what rap is =D

this is goodshittttttttttttt

[pionyang]

I LOVE THIS SONG.

[iancurtis86]

I think this song's album (Beats, Rhymes and Life) is the one with the hardest drums I've ever listened to... Oh my God! I think they went too far... Anyway, I like all albums of the Tribe, the early ones, this one and The Love Movement too. These last two ('96 and '98 ones), with their Dilla taste, are so underrated: they're fuckin' good and innovative; I only dislike the drums! haha It's a joke

[vocabularyspills]

ill loops and hard drums, thats pure Hip-Hop, Jack.

[Andrewrx85]

sick track, sick Jay Dee production! RIP J.DILLA!

[bricboyz]

this is crazy

[Erosion215]

I didn't know they made a vid for this song. lol Was that Busta Rhymes and the rest of LONS in there?

[LayzieBone075]

[Quesoeighty]

If you aint yourself,

[khendriks1]

FEIF is siiiiiiick!

[wreckords]

this is when tribe started falling off.

[krisbarber]

[Q17uinton]

[Barons3333]

[muellerinator]

This is that REAL raw shit. Tribe for life!!

[JStyle10]

Classic! This is real HIP HOP homies!!! ATCQ 4 ever! one of the best groups ever! 6/5!

[whatbloodtypeareyou]

man like the check the rhime reference at the beginning

[Tw0Words]

YOU ON POINT? 99.9% of people are not today..........

[Wrxrtd]

No creativity in todays music and especially hip hop! Every shit artist is influenced by another shit artist and the songs just get worse and worse and all sound the same! Just because something sells...don't mean it is good. 50 sells records and his music is a complete fuckin joke compared to guys like Quest who are creative in everything they do! Creativity died as soon as year 2000 rolled around! Hip Hop is a joke today and most other music aswell!

[Dread78]

i totally agree my friend^^

[DBZmovie2008]

it sells cuz they others have grown up with not knowing wuts good and they think if they like well maybe we all should like this, i see all the time they dont really like it, its not wanting to stand out and be ur own a listen to wutever

[UltraDOG17]

it aint no talented or diversity

just plain splatted out bullshit.

it aint happenin 2 Rap.

Also in Rock

just clownz wanna remake sum dumb shit

[2123marshall]

@Wrxrtd

[damndisplace07]

@Wrxrtd You're right about music dying in 2000. Its only one album made in the 21st century that I can say is good, and that album is "the chronic 2001" by Dr. Dre.

[maluco97]

@damndisplace07 that was on 99

[froghoul]

@damndisplace07 go check guru's albums, go check jeru the damaja albums, go check krs-ones albums, go check cunninglynguists albums, go check mackle mores albums, You have to improve your knowledge on today's hip hop rather then getting held back by the 90's music.

[froghoul]

@damndisplace07 i forgot to mention R.a the rugged man, almost every single verse he spits is really crazy.. and hes still alive and producing albums.

[die4livin]

@Wrxrtd so true my friend

[MurdaZen]

@Wrxrtd i agree but there are still a few good hip hop artists doing it, necro &ill bill and there affiliates, vinnie paz and jedi mind tricks (army of the pharoes), ghostface/meth/raekwon.

but if you dont like that then yes you are out of luck lol im waiting for a good hip-hip artist to come out of london, it will happen lol

[ilisbaani]

@Wrxrtd Yes, it is. Creativity is dead.

[TonyIronmanStarks]

@Wrxrtd

Well said. Young Money and all that shit is fucking horrible music and it sells like crack. Don't make it good though. Hip Hop is in lost property.

[Wrxrtd]

Daaaaaam....this is when Hip Hop was real! Now hip hop is the laughing stock of music!!

[SOFLY973]

Yo 90's Baby's Don't Know Anything About This. This Brings Back too Many Memories

[the212soul]

The fuck? East Coast took a shit on West Coast in the 90's.

[JasonK1992]

doesn't matter. music was good back then, no matter which coast it came from.

[SeniorCitizenSkillz]

That kid is niiiiiiiiiiice.

[Ausgelacht]

i nearly cry when i think about the good old times. i really miss them :(

[yosumi28]

[rollin77]

@yosumi28 LIL WAYNE GOT IT!

[PLaTuNe67]

[azgazr8]

[lasigmaman]

I remember hitting the reverse button on this cut about 2 million times when I was a soph at Southern U.

One of the tightest beats (and of course lyrics) ever.

[jakev78]

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

God damn I miss the 90's :((((((((( I miss real hip hop too... :(((((((( Real music in general... What we get today is shit, shit shithishtiahsithsit !!!

[myme67]
