[drulogic]

"she said she thought hip hop was only guns drugs and alcohol, I said oh hell naw, but yet its that too.... "Andre 3000 predicted that hip hop would be like it is now back in 1998 but niggas thought he was wiggin' out.

[DeezDaDon]

Greatness!

[MizzPrettyMuslimah]

..I never let a statue tell me how nice I am !! That's my jam !!

[mireaux7]

this vid is over 20 yrs old, but the whole vid is shown being displayed in a picture frame. which means ATCQ basically invented the idea of "the digital picture frame", so I think ATCQ needs to get some back royalties for this genius idea.

[jologs21]

GO YANKEES!!!!! NYC IS IN THE HOUSE!!!

[TolitoGangster]

@jologs21 ATCQ comming with more hits than the BRAVES & YANKEES! I LOVE A TRIBE CALLED QUEST and Major Laeague Baseball,dont get no better than that,much love to the BRAVES,YANKEES,METS,PHILLIES,a­ll you teams that played this jam,I remember MLB players comming to bat to this song in Shea Stadium and Yankees stadium,man I miss real music like this from those days

[mireaux7]

"i learned how to build mics in my workshop class"....damn, must be nice...cause when i took up workshop in my freshman year the only thing we got to build was silly wooden cars powered by a small firecracker rocket in the back of them.

[nyse41685]

@mireaux7 I got to make wooden dice, cut plastic and weld.

[PIOSystems]

@mireaux7 xD!

[DAPOSTERGIRLOF718]

omg this my shit I aint hear this like forever ago

[kozmikdust]

mmmmmm

[mireaux7]

new york rappers are still better than west coast rappers. they gotz way mo rhythm.

[xs3kShUun8x]

@mireaux7 what are you on? no side is better than any other side..there's talent everywhere...if you think new york has the best "rappers" than you have a lot of researching to do

[mireaux7]

@xs3kShUun8x ...apparently im onto some higher knowledge that youre in dire lack of. new york invented rap, pioneered it, tooled & geared it. cali just gangster-fied it. rhyme for rhyme, youll see that cali rappers generally use more profanity to sell a record, whereas new york rappers instill better syncopation and rhythm into their rapping-which that alone sells their albums. not dissing cali rappers, just saying new york has better rappers.

[1989hirokazu]

Damn I wish music was gangsta like this again, not like the fruggin faggots that sing about girls, like Bieber

[lovechyl]

can never sit still and listen to this track, never!

[t2t3456]

I am super old school, way back from 1979, but Tribe Called Quest was one of my favorites, bought all their tapes and cds...

[unclebeasley]

Tip learned how to build mikes, in his workshop class - Fucking Hell's Yess. This is as good as NYC gets - and I dig NY. MM's is a phenomenal album, which changed my life, after listening to it 1,000,000 Times! - And I've never got burnt-out with any of it.

[Tobi4444]

beat is sick

[deviousMonk]

I have a quest to have the mic in my hand

Without that, its like kryptonite and superman...

I'm glad I lived my teenage years in the early 90's...Those were the HIp Hop Dynasty

[nonphixion4411]

dope to hear this track again. hip hop

[agrawalni]

This is real alternative hip-hop music. It pisses me off that people today think bullshit like LMFAO is alternative just because they say a catchphrase over and over again on a techno beat.

[sayckeone]

There's nothing alternative about this. This is hip hop, plain and simple. It's a sad state of affairs when hip hop in its essence is considered something silly like "alternative".

[MrThielBeats]

Just because they sample jazz and use breaks with swing does not mean that there alternative. A lot of cats had a similar sound in the 90's. And don't give me that shit about wiki. This is pure hip-hop. The only reason it says that shit on wiki is because uninformed kids like yourself put it up there.

[agrawalni]

lol wow you mad brah? Lets just enjoy the music, whatever it is and agree that this > than the trash out nowadays. That was my main point.

[MrThielBeats]

We can all agree on that.

[theactivist7]

@sayckeone completely agree.

[imruins]

@sayckeone i would love to thumbs down you but damn there is so much truth in the thought that this is considered alternative.

LISTEN BITCHES:: commercial rap is BULLSHIT. if you want to understand hip hop listen to 90's artists and get the real feel. 1: pharcyde 2: tcq 3: dela

LILWAYNE? are you fucking serious? HE IS THE ABSENCE OF ART

[yumyum97]

@imruins Did you know some mainstreams artists today reached the top by making a pact with the Devil ? you can surf the internet there's even videos on youtube you see it's real. Lady Gaga, Jay-z, Bob dylan, Katy perry, have all did it.... That is insane. Maybe Wayne did it but we don't know.

[MrPisster]

@sayckeone even at the time this was getting the name "alternative hip hop". I was there. I was a fan. Don't front.

[TolitoGangster]

@MrPisster Hiphop itself was called alternative music since it wasnt mainstream yet but groups like A Tribe Called Quest,LL Cool J,Run DMC,Pete Rock & CL Smooth,Public Enemy,Black Sheep,2 Pac,Big Daddy Kane & Special Ed were changing that and making it mainstream,the only mainstream rap on top 40 radio at the time was teenage pop rap songs by MC Hammer,Vanilla Ice,Sir Mix Alot,DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince but real hiphop was alive and well,artists were selling alot of albums and touring alot

[TolitoGangster]

@sayckeone you are right,hiphop/rap music was not alternative anymore because it had became mainstream in the 90s,A Tribe Called Quest were one of the main groups that helped hiphop become big mainstream and sold millions of albums worldwide,calling real hiphop alternative hiphop is lie,alternative hiphop is the crazy shit we listen to on the radio now,the shit on the radio now is not real hiphop,it's filler garbage ringtone music songs calling itself hiphop but doesnt sound like it at all

[freestylerandmc101]

@sayckeone there are different styles of rap though.

[bookoodiggydow]

this song is FRESH

[remainingnameless]

[19LazzA79]

[shadolink765a1]

oh i see, i get like that sometimes when i listen to music

[mireaux7]

shadolink...he be meditating, my brotha..the groove is infectous..so he got his eye covered cause he lost up in the smooth beat and rhyme

[np494609]

Damn such a smooth ass song, the shit I like is that is doesn;t even carry a negative message. It's pure hip-hop, fuck all this new shit...these little bitch ass pop stars like Lil Wayne and Kanye West need 2 take heed to this shit right here!!

[djwu1823]

i agree bout lil wayne, but kanye was in the game a long time b4 he blew up he was still makin ill beats for dope underground artist. yeah hes a cocky motherfucker ut he's 1 if hip hop's premier producers. dilla has even praised kanye 4 his work... but yeah fuk lil wayne

[shadolink765a1]

how come that guy always has his eye covered , 2:58 has it covered with tape

[sbgal13]

what exactly did shaheed do in the group?

[DarkBro71]

Ali Shaheed Muhamed was the d.j. and a co producer of Tribe's music

[sbgal13]

ok thanks darkbro

[nufellow09]

Hook came from a white cat Malcolm McLaren. He had cold cutz in the 80s.

Qtip, Fife n DeLa all good hip hop.

[mireaux7]

i learned how to build mics in my workshop class too..but not as good as a tribe called quest learned how to..cause they have sold millions of records and i havent. so there ya go.

[sx8Rrluvyu2]

but give me this award and lets no make it the last lls :s

[realisteee]

heavy

[P2K725]

Such was the golden age.

[godswordsheal]

I think if your ever trying to blame a group of people your probably making a bad decision. Hip hop is more misrepresented than anything in my mind not every ethnic song that comes out is hip hop and personally i try and distinguish between rap and hip hop. Both have their good artists and bad artists but ultimately a artist or group cant ruin a genre only themselves.

[mireaux7]

cant deny that smooth rhythm..proof positive that rap aint gotz to be fast to be hip. this is the reason why new york is still the king of where the absolute best rappers hail from. go new york!

[igtarnd2]

the souf aint butcher hip hop!!! your gay as lil bow wow's & the t-pain crap has. o yeah can't 4get that whac ass peanut butter & jelly garbage!!!!

[naughtytosweet]

World Tour

[mosho0915]

real hip hop b4 it was butchered by the south

[kingakash718]

werdddd

[remainingnameless]

I wouldn't say that, homeboy. Outkast, for ONE example, came from the south and they've positively influenced hop. It's that unimaginative snap shit and all that which ruined hip hop.

[remainingnameless]

Snap music ruined hip hop, not the south. Outkast for example has positively influshed hop, don't ya think?

[crhymes104]

lack of unity up north butchered hip hop! stop blaming the south! everybody has to be way too gangster now for them fuckin selves people on an identity crisis in this game back in the day you had your de la's ATCQ mobb deeps wu tang slick rick all had their own styles! what the fuck happened to unity and respect for being diverse and ORIGINAL!!!!!!!! GOLDEN AGE!!!

[CrazySnakeManJaMie]

One of the best hip hop tracks of all time in my opinion

[hockeypoopterd]

Da bes stuff i heard. just glad hip hop is still alive.....(real and not girl get down 5,000 times)

[havoc89]

STR8 CLASSIC.

[adisena]

[dropknee623]

What a dope ass bass line. Anyone listen to J period's mixtape on Q-tip? They talk about how they came out with this song.

[Diamondlovebaby]

This was when Hip Hop was at its best. Love it!! Q-Tip you are gorgeous!!!!

[Mohmier]

before hip hop was mutilated....there was A tribe called Quest

[sxenae82]

listening to this song brings nostalgia. i was about 10-11 yrs old.you won't hear songs like this. songs that remind you of hip hop......real hip hop.
