[TheVESKO081]

WEST COAST BITCHEZ!!!

[LouieV6]

@TheVESKO081 Hip Hop bitch! East, West, Midwest, South. All represent Hip Hop

stfu

[jptube21]

I love old school hip-hop but people are acting too fucking lethargic. I cant stand complaining

[wuisforthechildren]

Hip hop caught on with me after I got out of high school. The 80's and 90's (before all the balling anf bling bling nonsense) were the two best periods. I love the Tribe's music; so laid back and chill.

[TheWiseRG]

RAW!

[TheEnchantingWizard1]

Unbeatable flow.

[Ms90sforever]

real rap music

[MrAwsome2U]

HIP-HOP aint dead its just buried UNDERGROUND

[dvzqz87]

@MrAwsome2U this is the only comment that should be liked as it is awesome and incredibly true

[LONDON1KaZR]

Real talk FUCK each and everyone of you who say or think hip hop is dead. smh morons.

[player1730]

@LONDON1KaZR if hip hop isnt dead then where can i find stuff like this that is made today? thats what i thought.

[musiclover01ization]

@player1730 The underground genius. Stop whining and search. Lazy motherfucker.

[player1730]

@musiclover01ization give me an example

[musiclover01ization]

@player1730 Jedi mind tricks ,the roots, cunninlynguists, MF DOOM, Kendrick lamar, Aesop rock, El-p, company flow,Atmosphere,Doseone, Deep puddle dynamics,Busdriver, Antipop consortium, Childish gambino,etc. I can keep going but I think you need to search for yourself, And stop judging hip hop as dead because you're too lazy to look beyond the mainsteam. You need to stop sounding like a backpacker.

[SkyKnight26]

@musiclover01ization LMAO kendrick lamar ? wasnt he just on the BET cyper ? nah hes not commercial neither is childish gambino the guy from Community ..tighten that list up we came to hear the tribe not to hear you name these new cats. you whinin more than anyone

[musiclover01ization]

@SkyKnight26 Tbh, I don't really listen to childish gambino. Kendrick lamar, on the other hand, is pretty good.Just because he was on BET doesn't mean he's commercial. The only reason why I'm stating these"new cats", is because i'm tired of people complaining that there's no good hip hop anymore.

[SkyKnight26]

@musiclover01ization I mean they aight more than likely these new cats grip an audience then start talking about hoes and money ...i agree there is some good hip hop ..Common, Kweli, Aesop Rock, Vast Aire, Elzhi from slum village, Illa J, i mean those are some cats i dig man you know ...niggas complain but more than likel they just need to look harder..by the way i say that shit about BET cause i hate that channel all they do is promote wackness

[musiclover01ization]

@LONDON1KaZR Thank you. People need to stop whining.

[TheDennisFrogman]

@SMUFNYS But it's not.

[MrGol17]

I love this Song ;D

[CAZPERsayz]

The real lyricist back in the days, their modern version is all on underground

[visualboy100]

indeed petugue. indeed. Pete Rock was the producing talent behind such an impressive number of great hip hop artists since the 90's. He's tireless. Still going strong. His most recent creative collaboration was with Kanye on his most recent album.

To add to your list, peace to Guru, Jeru, Little Dap, Casual, Del, Common, Main Source, Lords of the Underground, LOTNS, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim, Masta Ace, Special Ed, Black Moon, and all the other members of the former Native Tongues.

The aim is to succeed and achieve at twenty one

[ChiefWanahakalugii]

everyday i listen to this song AT LEAST 10 times

[UncleTaffy]

jokes about the people who disliked the vid r mad old....

[mazhello]

Hiphop in it's purest form. Gangsta rap and all the crap of today doesn't compare to this at all.

[C2W87]

ATCQ- First rap group I fell in love with. Classic Hits!

[illmatic826]

CLASSIC!!!

[sugargirlie72]

two people don't got the jazz

[12bitchmore]

REAL

[ElevateEternal]

I know this isn't necessarily the best time or place to post this, but I uploaded my first rap to youtube a few days ago and I need it to be seen. I posted the song as a video response to this video because this is the beat that I used. If you dont want to see the video can you please just look at my page, and consider subscribing?

Thank You

[tevilune]

/watch?v=gRJzKbRvDMw guys 16 from manchester new real tallent out there

[giusparsifal]

How many times I have to listen to this track before I get bored? Its' almost 20 years now, still loving it :)

And "The Low End Theory" is in my personal top ten list album.

Thanks for posting it.

[geischeissen]

it's the sample of Pete Rock - The Basement

Q-Tip didn't stole but reused it and made it new

It's just that '' clack '' what he used

P.Diddy stole really the beat of juicy

that's a big difference

[yungadizzle]

pete rock did this beat?

[Necrolium]

R.I.P. Hip-Hop 1978-2001... Hip-Hop Life Span 1978 - Hip hop was born. 1980s - It started chasing its dreams and realized its goals. 1990s - It was living life to its fullest and was at its peak. Late 1990s - It got a little sick and thought it was a slight cold. Early 2000s - It was Hospitalized and diagnosed with cancer. 2003-04 - It was on life support. Mid 2000s - They pulled the plug and it finally died and stopped suffering. Present - It's body decayed.

[pro404]

@Necrolium i don't think that's true, 2008-2010 had some pretty good releases

[dephect314]

@Necrolium No cuss man however yah straight wrong... If yah feel a moan then sound but there is amazing music that dropped in the last 5 years... read too many of these comments recently... its dead bla bla, weezy bla bla, Justin whasisface bla bla - dig deeper. It still very much alive and kicking....

[Necrolium]

@dephect314 Nah I mean radio time... They used to play good songs on the radio that had meaning and/or something to bump to. Hip-hop alive underground but I mean bullshit in the mainstream area suck and need to be how it used to be. That's why I keep my blackberry to listen to real music in my car

[SupperOfTheMightyOne]

@Necrolium

Not necessarily; there's still plenty of good rap out there...same with rock music, really.

[Necrolium]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne Good rap underground but not on the radio anymore.

[anthony21266]

@Necrolium and now its all just crap to me

, this is where its at

[delirious44]

@Necrolium Nah homie it's just laying dormant for a minute . But I understand 100% how you feel

[Jepbars]

@Necrolium You sir are ignorant

[alexpeters]

@Necrolium blame hegemonic entertainment companies, the artists are still there, but they're repressed by the music superpowers who own the venues, record labels, radio stations, and tv music channels. You wanna complain, try supporting your local artists so they can develop to this level.

[HobsonsIdeal]

@Necrolium You obviously haven't been looking hard AT ALL. Hip hop was golden and still is - just because mainstream music giants keep it underground for our privileged ears nowadays doesn't mean it's dead. Maybe if more people with similar opinions to yours supported those artists instead of complaining and telling people hiphop is dead, then there wouldn't be this problem at all.

[thedirtywhitesock]

@Necrolium Then what?

[djvictroladadj]

srsly, this whole thing is in my top 5 all time hip hop records

[bluetrane69]

strictly hardcore trax not a new jack swing!

[deathbycupid]

its incredible how much tip plays off phife and vice versa.... rappers these days only care about themselves and how much money and dro their blowing

[prime15able]

Ayo but wait Back it up, whoa, easy back it up xD sick

[ilabstudios]

Jazz + Rap = Original HipHop Freshness!

[KrazyWhiteCracker]

Jazz + Hip-Hop = The Shiiit

[play889]

the aim is to succeed and achieve at twenty one....

SO TRUE!

[nateoak10]

Zion I and TCQ = legendary

[clashin1977]

a tribe called quest is so flow

they are a testament for how hip hop should be

[tossnturn23]

this my jam! i got the record.

[iNestor93]

whats relationship did J-dilla have with ATCQ?

[Ginga]

@iNestor93

He, Q-Tip and Ali formed a production team known as The Ummah(Arabic for "brotherhood"). They worked on ATCQ's 4th and 5th albums and Q-Tip's debut album among other arists.

[anth4195]

Wow this music is so chill

[XxRandumsxX]

a q tip cant be this smooth

[iAmKupid]

GOD DAMN! Why did I have to be born so late in the age of Golden Hip-Hop...

Born in '95 & I got a FULL iPod of old school R&B and Golden Age Hip-Hop...

Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Otis Reddings..

Rakim, ATCQ, Eric B, Biggie, Big Pun, Big L, Pharcyde, Tech N9ne ( His Older Work ), Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Pharoahe Monch, And more!

I can't get enough of the classics.. And yeah i'm young, 15 years young to say.

One Love, Much Respect.

- Kupid

[ANEEZYYY]

@iAmKupid i poped in 93' and can not agree more!!

[iAmKupid]

@ANEEZYYY

I know! I just wish that ATCQ was still dropping tracks like they used too :(

[Bikage21]

@iAmKupid nice taste man, you got oldschool r&b and hip hop

[iAmKupid]

@Bikage21

Thanks fam!

[larrylewis68]

@iAmKupid yo check Urban Thermo Dynamics (MosDef's first group)..Juggaknots "clear blue skies" classic!..and Company Flow's "Fun crusher plus"..

[45onelove45]

@iAmKupid I feel you man im only 19 and I feel like I missed out... Atleast we still keepin the culture alive.

[TheMotionWeeders]

@iAmKupid Teddy Pendergras..YOU GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT WHAAT I NEED!!

[NitsuaNaed]

[Psychedalien]

GREAT & GREAT PICTURE!!10/10

[Exodus3003]

amazing chill song this is what hip hop is meant to be. Also a great song to listen to while high.

[jab337irl]

classic

[3421calmdown]

the 2 dislikes must be from lil wayne and birdman, cuz they are completely opposite from this real hip hop shit

[MarcoCaifan87]

this is real hip-hop

[Ferris1243]

I just love that opening :p

[hiphop90sbaby]

Now I gotta scat and get mine, underline!!!!

[hiphop90sbaby]

U'd be a lie if u say this aint REAL hip hop

[Exodus3003]

damn this shit is super mellowed out and relaxing. But, at the same time, i think it helps your brain to become more active, like you can think of deep thoughts easier and better. Also an amazing stoner tune.

[JayLa76]

I still cant hear da sample from Mountain's "Long Red" dats supposed 2 b n this song.

[KarlBonner1982]

It's tragic that when I was growing up in the 1990s, all I knew about was gangsta rap and thus never expected that I'd have anything to do with hip-hop. But it's definitely better late than never...now that I've found the good shit I'm not afraid to tell the whole world how much I love creative hip-hop.

[JayLa76]

Dats wuts up.

[1falconeye2]

check outdigable planets

[DamnIwannafck232]

i just love jazz hip hop smooth relaxing and original its awesome

[shrwon]

Where's the instrumental to this?

[flippenpinoi]

On Green Dolphin Street....

im a jazz performance major and ill be at Berklee this fall but before Bill Evans Monk Keith Jarrett Brad Mehldau it was Tribe Called Quest The Roots Mos Def and De La Soul.

[OutlawYafu]

Boom it in your boom it in your boom it in your Jeep

[MrPeacelover9]

this is my favorite song. its true hip hop not crappy mainstream poppy "rap"

[phenethylaminedreams]

This is from the fucking golden age, and is (no shit) jazz influenced. Good hip hop still exists, you just gotta look really hard for it :(

[reed1the1unique]

The Rhymesayers record label and the Black Clover record label has most of the modern rappers who still do it for the art.

[versatility934]

yoo can u tell me some good hip hop

cuz i really dont see any

thanks man

[phenethylaminedreams]

Well, if you like free-verse poetry, check Saul Williams out, or maybe Atmosphere, DJ Hi-Tek has some great shit, too. Check out Hi-Teknology. THat one was classic. Dead Prez and Immortal Technique are great if you're into politics, and even if not, shit's intense. gotta love it. Talib Kweli's always been amazing, Common, Nas, Biz Markie, those are classics. Try Grip Grand, ANYTHING! Emancipator is great instrumental. Keep looking. The internet has everything you need.

[phenethylaminedreams]

Also, I don't just listen to hip hop. I listen to almost all kinds of American music, and plenty styles from other places, too. The music world is a huge place.I like industrial, IDM, trance, house, etc. I'm big into the punk scene, and I find a lot of hip hop I like has the same message as punk does. Be who you are. If you like it, LISTEN TO IT! If not, don't force yourself to like it just because of someone's opinion. If you want any other recommendations for music and stuff, comment me. Peace

[yankeeswin59]

this song fuckin rules

[bcarman14]

PENIS

[mob1217]

[cnsdelondo14]

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

im uploading the pete rock album soul survivor check it out some good tracks

[petugue]

No, it's not incredible ! Pete Rock has produced many songs that use samples taken from jazz, funk, soul, jazz-fusion, disco, etc. He's a very talented producer who knows and transforms songs into masterpieces ! He has recorded numerous titles with jazzy shades !

Peace to Tribe, Pete Rock, JB's, De La, Pharcyde, The Roots, Extra Prolific, Dream Warriors, Digable Planet, Souls Of Mischief, Top Quality, Yaggfu Front, KMD, Madlib and all Real Hip-Hop !

@petugue you forget dilla man, are you crazy ?

[seboufdu59]

@petugue What about Dilla ?

[scoots1991]

@petugue you have got some good taste in music. I love all music, but jazz from the 40s classic rock from the 60s and 70s, and classic hip hop from 80s to 90s was a great time in american creativity

[ZeFearlessFrenchman]

@petugue U missed dilla D:

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

nice slow feel to this song more hip hop today shud be like this

[775hiteenaa]

Thats the Truth

[aharris82]

Pete Rock makes the smoothest beats ever, Q-Tip and Phife verses are like icing on the cake

[datstight128]

tribe and other rappers from the early 90's will always reign supreme then the hip pop sound that is now

[DamnIwannafck232]
