[SheepDogSkates]

If you ever get the chance to see the quest documentary that just came out go watch it. I think its called Beats Rhythems & Life. Was very good

[Greatmurderer]

@SheepDogSkates Bra where did you see it, because I've been looking for that on DVD for the longest.

[SheepDogSkates]

@Greatmurderer I saw it showing at some theater in dallas. I think it might be out on dvd in a few months or so mabe a year but im not really sure.

[Greatmurderer]

@SheepDogSkates Yea last night I saw it's gonna be out on DVD I think October 15th, according to Amazon.com, and on Amazon instant October 4th.

[robinsl27]

when people actually had talent and not beef. imagine that

[bigelow345]

I haven't read the book, but from I hear people saying about it, it seems to be a book from which some early pioneers are sharing their wisdom and experiences as hip-hop artist. Maybe they should have chose a title that's different to reflect that., instead of using a title that's resembles those of self-help books.

[nyiskillinme]

I remember when they filmed this, couldn't go to the shoot cause I was only like 8 or 9 :(. I wanted to see Q- Tip!!!

[whillchill]

Soulja boy, Lil Wayne, their moms and their fathers. And their 2 fans liked this vid.

[dadian01]

i lived like 3 blocks from where they did this vid

[grimdoggie2003]

Classic Hip-Hop perfection!

[Someguyfrom1973]

[KnocturnalFlame]

[KnocturnalFlame]

@Royfokker73 LMAO.

[wiz3218]

I cannot stand the rap that comes out now, this is damn good tho.

[311brusier]

Tribe never got enough credit for being one of the best. People seem to forget about them. They were the shit back in the day. This is one of the best beats for a song I ever heard.

[markcu24]

Not one mention of all the bitches they fuk, all their diamonds and bling, or their escalades....hum.

[Knowyerfacts]

[GNUTTZ209]

[playBoiB01]

Back When Hip-Hop Was Fun!!!

[XmortdreadX]

wow, and i though i hated all hip hop period, but this is good i have to say...

[jwh1999]

4 people failed to check the rhyme, only a jackass who know's nothing about true hip hop will give this a thumbs down

[32stoud01]

i hate when people say new rap or hip hop sucks!! notice hip hop changed between the 80s and 90s too. all music changes every decade soooo stfu!

[HawaiiStorm18]

@32stoud01 yea, but rap changed to commercialized dumbed down shit that doesn't have good rythem or rhymes and nothin tells stories no more. i used to love H.E.R.

[Haeter2]

@HawaiiStorm18 exactly man

[XmortdreadX]

@32stoud01 you are entitled to your opinion, and were entitled to not giving a crap

[TheSocialiteLife]

One of my ALL TIME FAV GROUPS!!!

[RapMonkey95]

i remember this being the first rap song i've ever heard... i feel ashamed i forgot about it :/

and it sucks how hip hop nowadays doesn't even require talent :/

[Bower9999]

[skaterkmak23]

[jmelanie91]

yeah sex was prop back then, but he said rap is not pop.. sorry dude

[KingLeroyDavid]

he is saying "rap is not PROP" short for proper.. because in the late 80s early 90s sexual escapades were called props..

[MeLoveBlu]

Q-tip is still amazing till this day xx

[Zerodx34]

[whitewater1281]

[mtownbaseball15]

[nyiskillinme]

Soul For Real - Candy Rain

[Icemanbk]

lol all these years ive watched this video, i never seen Version 1 lol

[WipFackleDoo]

These guys were one of the first groups i heard that got me into rap, sick song

[tonebeatz24]

See people this was real hip hop A Tribe Called Quest not garbage thats out today. A Tribe Called Quest were the best hip hop group in the 90's. I listened to these guys growing up back in my childhood days growing up in the 90's. These guys were the ones that got me into listening to hip hop growing up. I swear 80's and 90's those were the days when we had real good hip hop. Now today hip hop doesn't sound good the same anymore like it use to be. Right now today hip hop ain't looking good.

[freedom294]

..Industry rule number 4080: record company people  are SHAYDEEEEE!

[ImalHasan]

this shit bump like OUCHHH

[chicagoconnoisseur]

They shot this video at the same location as the 1nce Again video. That's why you hear this track at he beginning of the 1nce Again video. It's the same dry cleaners!

[GenesisMuzic]

3 people prefer Souljah Boy to A Tribe Called Quest

[johnnycolumbine]

this track is still to me the epicenter of what hip-hop is all about. such a great track off one of the best records of all time. absolutely timeless.

[Billytok97]

This shit still gives me goosebumps 19 mutherfuckin years later!!!! That's what I call timeless.

[larryjaymusic]

I can never get tired of listening to this song.

[813carlie]

This is classic!!!! This is the cut!!! LOVE IT!!

[KnoT1me]

dang i bet this song was so hot when it came out. '91 i was like in the 3rd grade

[YunggPhife]

ow here's a funky introduction of how nice I am

Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram

I'm like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long

My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong

Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong

I slayed that body in El Segundo then 'Push it Along'

You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man

'Cause you know and I know, that you know who I am

FLOW IS TOO GOOD ON THAT!

[dannyboi562]

soulja boy, his mom, and his dad disliked this video

[DaBrownieBoy]

[enysp]

HOW THE FUCK CAN ANYONE PUSH THE DISLIKE BUTTON!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[DumbEraser]

@enysp Cos they´ve got dildo in their asses and made a keying mistake... Only possibility

[rumbazz]

what a bunch of straight edge faggots. east coast rappers of the nineties had a gimmick of being pseudo intellectuals with a superiority complex.

[trkk01]

@rumbazz if werent for the east cost starting the rap game the rest of the world wouldnt be able to follow.

[dodger19701]

dont this bring you back

[ElectricBlueOil]

Hip hop today is not hip hop, it's materialistic, profane, electropop garbage.

[PhreShPimpCeSS]

@ElectricBlueOil Hip-Hop is hop-hop, It's underground. Today's music is POP everything.

[ElectricBlueOil]

@PhreShPimpCeSS there should be some movement to revive music like blues and jazz especially.

[biggayute]

This song can never die brings me back to when hiphop was hiphop. One of the best groups of all time.

[19NIN76]

My favorite tribe

[atlanta4950]

1991-94

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

Phife Is One Of The Best Rappers In This Group

[qwc1971]

They don't make HIP/HOP-Rap like this anymore!!!

[keekeefresh2def]

@HyperWake777.. U just Proved my point .. I never claimed to know hip hop and ha mybad my nickname is keekee IM 17.. im just simply givin my opinion on it like everybody else on here.. not gonna argue wid chu bra grow up "skank" u gon hav 2 do better den dat stop soundin so bitter and get cha money bra ha im jus sayin

[keekeefresh2def]

@flyguygoon1 I agree and i can tell u tha wack rappers are the ones still hangin on 2 their careers by tryin 2 bring down somebody else 4 album sales..and wack rappers are new rappers tryna come up off somebody else's name

[pburgman18]

@keekeefresh2def I TOTALLY AGREE MA.... WHAT HAPPENED TO CREATIVITY && ORIGINALITY... SMH

[examplefor88]

Well then grab the microphone and let your words rif

[supernoodlerage]

shade-eeeeee! ******

[fattylickass]

lil wayne was a rapper back in the 90s i dnt see y ur hating on him hes pretty good but its true time does change its pretty shitty tht hip hop isnt tha same but who knows it might go back like dis (i doubt it)

[Ryanandrambo]

This song is hella chill when you're baked.

[lomos72]

Dope tracks man...Peace

[Dante95nyc]

This song is beast!!

[keekeefresh2def]

@fordatimebeing I agree 100%. Im from the south to. I kno its true that New York started it all but ppl r crazy to think that it would stay on ONLY New York forever..and u also are so right about the media. The media was different back then and its different now.

[flyguygoon1]

@keekeefresh2def but note at the END Q-tip gives a Shout out to NC and SC yea the south so not all up state bad mouf the south and im from the south too

its jus Hip hop knows Wack hip hop and can you name the rappers you think is WACK

[keekeefresh2def]

Hip hop never left. ppl change times change you can't stick in the past 4EVR u wish u could but U CANT I guarantee if soulja boy(most hated) or lil wayne was the creation of hip hop in the 80s wit the same music I guarantee yal bump it. and tribe called quest came in 2010 yal would b lik wad the hell? Because Hip Hop is not tha same music ITS DIFFERENT yal hate on soulja boy because he got ppl blastin his music now and yal can't accept that its changin GET OVER IT

[fordatimebeing]

@keekeefresh2def i agree homie. But people hate because New York doesn't control hip hop anymore. I'm from the south and i think some of this shit is stupid. And then i hear some people hating for no reason( mainly because they think the south killed hip hop) When the truth is the media controls what get played and what doesn't.

[HyperWake777]

@keekeefresh2def Uh no. If ATCQ came in 2010, I'd say "Wow, now here's a rap group that is literate and can actually string together words while making sense and rhyming and not rapping about the same stupid shit and without sounding the same on shitty pop beats." You don't know what real hip hop is and your fucking name is keekee, so shut the fuck up, skank.

[Lucasisdemon]

that beat is just infectious.

[MsMedford]

Dear 90's hip hop. You were so good to me. Why did you have to go away?

[MrMk4life]

@MsMedford ...i keep asking that same question and the answer i got was .....soilder (trash) boy and little (shame) wayne destroyed it all with their garbage. That sh*t is flying off the shelf so the future seems even darker for hip hop.

.....keep on keeping it real MsMedford. one love

[MsMedford]
