[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@ello354

I just now realized how ILL this album cover is.

[KenyanMangroveWaigi]

Youre letting people put ads on ur page so u can make money off other peoples music? Not cool bro...

[TheThusComeOne]

@KenyanMangroveWaigi

Yeah. Thats why theyre taking youtube away...

[bmohara1]

@KenyanMangroveWaigi

I am not going to say you are dumb because that isn't fair to assume, but you clearly don't understand how Youtube makes their money, they put the ads in front of videos, so they, the company, can make money, so that we, the viewers, can watch free videos. Quit bitching about a few ads that you can skip. Kthxbye

[Omegadaofficial]

Why waste time on the Mic? #TLA ;P

[wasted42db]

truly one of the sickest realest smoothest rhymes of the 90's

[1darslars]

Oh man that --With a kick, snare, kicks and high hat-- part is bananas!!

[SALOE310]

Straight from the heart, I represent hip hop.

[Redz445]

Phife murdered this track, nuff said.

[jamiebutcher91]

[ABMayweather]

@godCobain not even close

[caomeone]

@ABMayweather The beat is sampled from Martin's Funeral by Bill Cosby. The vocals in the beginning come from The Big Beat by Billy Squire. The other vocals come from Eric B and Rakim's My Melody

[TheMadnessFlow]

Legendary.

Tribe will live on until the end of time.

[d18thletta]

[speedskis777]

One of my favorite things about Tribe is the voice at the end of each song

[icedaddy27]

[tonywonderful]

One of the great album covers of all time.

[smoothrasin]

TOO MANY CANDY RAPPERS AT THE TOP, SO NOW I'M CLOSN' THE SHOP! I know that's right!

[wanaa66]

@smoothrasin too many candy-rappers seem to be at the top. too much candy is no good so now I'm closing the shop.

:p you forgot a line

[edaksak]

makes perfect sense that this song is 4 minutes 20 seconds long

[McGurnaghan]

@edaksak Was thinking the exact same thing before i read this comment. Blaze down 2 this ?

[edaksak]

@McGurnaghan haha yes! greatest tune to chill out to

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

@edaksak mere coincidence... i think

[Robertnuns]

I loved their 3d album cover, i used to stare at it all the time

[JuanOmegaIota]

"Straight from the heart I represent hip hop

Run three albums deep but-I-don’t-wanna go pop

Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top

To-much-candy-is-no-good so now I'm closing the shop."

A: went looking for a good verse to quote and wanted to just post all the lyrics to this song.

B: this shit is timeless.

[1ntuitive]

So many good parts to this song

[1ntuitive]

See, this is why I CANNOT listen to crappy music. Tribe Spoiled me at an early age.

[Bonersoup183]

"Standin' on the wall with my Polo on, talking to the girl with the Liz Claiborne"

[roscoegino]

phife killed it.

[Komanekin]

S'like that man, s'like tha-YESSSS

[stefano21300]

Straight from the heart, I represent hip hop

I be three albums deep, but I don't wanna go pop

Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top

Too much candy is no good, so now I'm closin the shop

[diggablemanny]

Is this not a beast ass album. Most albums today "may" have 2-3 songs that are good, if that, but not ATCQ. Everysong is good. From start to finish. Perfect for smoke sessions.

[ZackH26]

@diggablemanny I was actually pissed off at myself today because I forgot my iPod and couldn't burn to Tribe.

[LawZGaming]

why waste time on the microphone...

[kyoukilis20]

I couldnt give a shit about what people listen to now, listen to whatever the fuck you want, but im listening to better music and i know it.

[Doc447]

@kyoukilis20 Damn rite.. there the ones missin out so fuck them.. we aint missin out.. we got sense.

[paperorpaper]

@kyoukilis20 That's right!

[DaSassyDanca]

@kyoukilis20 HELL YEAAAAH!?

[aappiinna]

Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top....

[jaynegs76]

I stay playin REAL and GOOD hip hop... YOU need to do the same! I'll say it again, spread the word of real shit, it's up to us !!!

[MrHahachicken]

hey whats that voice thats in the end of a lot of their songs

[WannaTradePants]

@MrHahachicken It's the figure that appears on a handful of their album covers. The voice is used throughout this album as interludes.

[eltar64]

it's like that maaan it's like that !

[Jamerican44]

Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top

Too much candy is no good so now i'm closing the shop.

Example of candy rappers: Soulja Boy, Nikki, Waka, Drake, Wayne

[999timdog]

@Jamerican 44 And you forgot eminem,I say this simple cause he has stolen Master Ace style..He needs to learn the rules of engagement withing Hip-hop?(COME FROM YOUR OWN HEART) fake fuck

[Jamerican44]

@999timdog I like the young em better. More like when he was on Soundboming 2 album. But can see ya point

[Nederweed]

Dope! Awsome! Hiphop these days doesnt make any gd sense and is full of shit!

[999timdog]

@Nederweed I hear that.

[newguy4lfe]

we can get down we can we can get down

[edrissa0]

o people... wait no dislikes hell yeah

[johnr1031]

anyone realize that method man took this flow from phife in a few songs? I wish i could remember the name of the one im talking about. it was with notorious i think, or it might have been a wu-tang song... fuck...?

[spacedowtjedi]

These beats are unreal.

[RLhockey203]

happy fucking new years, 2011 gonna fucking suck

[ecuamalan]

Or they already own the album!... Like Me!

[THETALLBLACKKID]

rap was born when this song was made and will never die as long as you listen and are creative without negativity and hip hop will never die

[SoulSnatchaz]

@THETALLBLACKKID pssh rap was born in the 80's

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

"hip hop will never die yo"

to bad that wasnt true :(

[YussuF413]

@AvtomatPruneJuice My man Hip Hop hasn't died the underground is keeping it alive and well.. THE RADIO DIED!

[truthasfineprint]

like Italians on grapes?

[worldofwarcraft1107]

@truthasfineprint

crushin competitions like a tire on grapes,

[truthasfineprint]

@worldofwarcraft1107 oooo haha, you have to admit it does sort of sound like hes saying "like Italians on grapes"

[cali22boi]

@worldofwarcraft1107 "crushin competition like ITALIANS on grapes"

[Max4T3hW1n]

@worldofwarcraft1107 i thought he said italians on grapes? it'd be more clever like phife's style

[Tribecalledquest15]

That trash you talk dont matter, the old bogus chatter ,the more you condem us, it only makes us Phatter. 1993 was a good year!

[ChrisnSnoop]

Props on all the uploads. Can't wait for the ATCQ documentary coming out, peace to Michael Rapaport... Oh yeah I fucking love this song!

[SintaxOne]

I used to listen to this on TAPE everyday ha ha!!

Such an amazing album. And this is my joint right here!

[cwal213]

Nice video length. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

[dr23rdbuchanmd]

why waste time on the microphone

[grass2cares]

Now compare A Tribe Called Quest with N.E.R.D "Stay together" I knew, that i heard that somewhere! ;p 

[ufcfan2999]

all i can say is real music

[diceberg1975]

This is Hip Hop... That ol Boom Bapp

[sablesoul]

Theres a reason that no one disliked this.

[keff02]

this tune is habsolute

[tswagg504]

The beat and the lyrical flow of this song basically defines Tribe Called Quest...If I met someone who didn't know who they were.....this is the first song I would play

[Ross175]

no bullshit intros, just jumps right into the song, the only way to go

[EaglesSwiftness]

ahhh the 90's i was in Jersey as a young kid listening to this stuff and then 50 cent decided to make music....

[NeptsLaze]

"THE MUSIC OF OUR YOUTH FROM 1979!"

[sampuka1]

this is when hip hop was about somthin

[Mon3yMike11]

how can a reverend preach when a rev cant define...

EASILY Phife Dawg's best verse on either this or the Low End Theory albums... he actually outshines Q Tip for once haha.... ATCQ -> most ARTISTICALLY sounded group of the 90s.... this is just great music

just shows that, not every MC be with the negativity

because we have a slue of rappers pushing positivity

[Glyyyyde]

@Mon3yMike11 Phife is a better MC than Tip in my honest opinion. Tip just got the fame cause of his movie roles and shiit. But Phife's flow is still the smoothest and sickest i've heard.

[mrmaoam]

@Glyyyyde You're out yo mind tip is way better...phife's content is kinda weak sometimes.

[Glyyyyde]

@mrmaoam aware phife wrote some of tip's verses? And phife murders tip in a freestyle cypher. But regardless no arguing, it's just an opinion and they're both amazing and sorely missed in the game. Tribe for life.

~Back in the days on the boulevard on Linden <3

[mrmaoam]

@Glyyyyde True I didn't know he wrote some verses for him.

[wanaa66]

@Glyyyyde they are back together if you didn't know check out their website

[OriginalOrigins]

@Glyyyyde I dnt know too much I had no idea tip was in any movies when I first started listening to tribe.........Phife is dope as hell but his pacing isn't as tight as tips he breaks his words up alot, tip is smoother with his delivery,.......But i digress cause the tribe is Crack

[Glyyyyde]

@OriginalOrigins I feel you tip has a smooth delivery, but the things Phife says are just ill. And im a fan of pentonic rhythyms so Phife's flow is like heroine to me lmao. Either way i know i'd probably cut off one of my nuts to be able to travel back in time and follow tribe on their world tour in '92. I heardt hey together though so the tribe might be taking over another decade.

[VDH88]

Awesome !!!

Hip-Hop at its finest.

Tribe are my favs together with Nas and Mighty Mos.

[10bananarama]

This is REAL

[TheAeroSoul]

my fav rappers are soulja boi, oj da juiceman, gucci mane, waka flocka flame and yo gotti...bow wow ..man they are teh shit. not any of these garbage lyrics gucci mane could smoke em anyday

[worldofwarcraft1107]

we rap by what we see meaning reality. some people bustin caps lika medele being free

[epic22]

this video needs to stay at 0 dislikes

[Martastik04]

@epic22 good way to jinx it

[epic22]

[epic22]

@2upacalypsenow i bet one of them was you

[MrDRH2]

too many candy rappers seem to be at the top nowadays its a shame.

thats why i stick to underground.

[whitewater1281]

BLACK PEOPLE UNITE AND PUT DOWN YOUR STEEL

[13atmanX]

Tribe was WAY before their time. Much respect to these geniuses.

[13atmanX]

Tribe was WAY before their time. Much respect to these geniuses.

[666olivierhell]

NOBODY likes any soulja boy music anymore, dont use that in your examples

[steeltownbrown52]

Shaheed kills it on cuts and scratching.!

[Nkogneetoe]

Tribe is Untouchable!! Today's mainstream artist & the media are notorious for labeling the crap put out today as hip hop. TRUE hip hop is this right here!! Recognize!! RIP DILLA!!

[Ese1Pac]

"Straight from the heart i represent hip-hop" Favorite line from this track haha

[DBZmovie2008]

to think they are confronting "candy" rappers in the songs in early 90s. Think what they would say if they rocked a new album in 2010. its worse now. ATCQ was mainstream but made it, if they tried to break out now in 2010 instead of 1990 they would never make it. Sadly its true. t

[celtics3456789]

@DBZmovie2008 Exactly

[Brinah]

reminds me of summer cruising in a car with the windows down, grinning hard!

[PATROKLOSSSS]

me too

[Robertnuns]

@Brinah I hear ya on that one bro, classic album, brings back all good memorys

[Brinah]

@Robertnuns I'm a lady, not a bro, haha!

[iiNDiTC]

Sample: "Martin's Funeral" by Bill Cosby

Sample: "My Melody" by Eric B. and Rakim

[Ant3869]

Why waste time on the microphone.....period. Seriously. Come correct.
