A Tribe Called Quest has been relevant in my life since I first heard their music when I was 10 years old...I'm disappointed with where rap and hip hop has gone since then.
Very cliched statement, but this song is really best played in the night while its raining, passing by dim streetlights. . .I've never experienced a song have an effect while listening in my entire life. . .
@Armeniacolombia29 the original song sampled here is Slide by the group Slave. It's worth a listen, and is better than tribes version, even though I dig tribe I gotta admit, the original is better.
@Armeniacolombia29 Yeah but it was recorded at the exact same time. It's either a cold or they lowered the tone of his voice during the mixdown/mastering
yo that is good that you mentioned that Jimi Hendrix is sampled in this song...but you forgot to mention what the beat in this song is sampled from....it is from the song "SLIDE" by the funk group SLAVE.
they sampled Jimi Hendrix & Slave :D crazy good
