[dafonk]

Tremeeeendo Q-Tip

[armita22]

Look at rapper Chi Ali in the front with the blue plad shirt on wit his no rhythm self lol. He was 'bout 12 years old.

[frontlinefilms]

Did De La Soul ever do anything that wasn't pure gold?

[dabearsdabears]

hahahaha "woooo chiiiiilldd things are gonna get easieerrrr"

[onebadmutha44]

I used to have this fly rust colored flower shirt I wore with my black African medallion, those were the days.

[mrstecstash]

[iancurtis86]

This was one of my favorite songs back in the 90's i was young but i know the difference's between hip hop then and now,the shit thats out now is really sad and youngin's are looking up to these wack ass rappers now.

Musiq Soul Child use this song as 1 of his singles

[thatonehalfnigga]

yea i just noticed that lol

[tkd1342]

A classic ya heard me

[attorney36]

I was listening to Monie Love's radio show a couple of years ago. Can u believe Young Jeezy asked Monie Love "What do you know about Hip Hop"? I'm fairly young myself, but I have a problem with so called artists today who don't know the history of this music and don't respect the ones that paved the way for them. Somebody has to ask today's artist "What do you know about Hip Hop"?

[qufinest14]

is there another hip hop song that used this beat? get at me

[Liquidsword4391]

dooley-o used a part of this beat in 1990 for the song peace sign off the record watch my moves.

[NoelLozano]

I only have the [Native Tongue Decision Version]

[lilmzballa12]

THIS MY SONGG!

[GOOFY94]

de la soul means from the soul son!!

[kcadet]

I love this song.

[deborahdaughter7]

This was actually nasty back then. LOOK! The girls got on clothes!!!!

[deborahdaughter7]

yo, Jimmy should I make her aware? HMMMMMMMMMM YEEEAAAAAAH!

Classic! Can't tell me nuthin'!

[BoneSTAR47]

Musiq brought a nice R&B vibe to those instrumentals. Ina Kamoze gave it nice ragga feel. This is good stuff, I miss those days.

[phoenixsimone]

I love trugoy! And actually the beat to this song is a sample from Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat". So no they are not the orginators of this track.

[FfOoRrMmLlOoSs]

very wise post by NumbersAndNoise...

[rewriteny1]

still hot i like de la soul's version better too. No disrespect to Musiq

[angelbrinie416]

YAAA DIG!

[totaleclipse666]

[AsiaticBeauty]

I love this song!

[naturalbornkiller420]

your all goofs

[ZigZagWoman]

Takes me back to my high school days. Thanks for posting!

[deebilka]

YEAH

[IoComandante]

Real music ight here

[giraud74]

@CJONYX your totally right!! Let's take Hip Hop back to the source. To hell with the mainstream and their idea of what Hip Hop is about. For more than 20 years they never cared for Hip Hop. They were only critisizing it as non-music and sample theft etc.

They never wanted to take it serious. Until white people started to listen to rap music (Eminem) and the money started to come in. And still they don't care, it's all about the money. A SELL OUT!!!

[TheFunkyAlchemist]

I half-agree with you, I liked hip-hop for ages and I'm white.

I never got into that crappy "gangsta rap" but sadly some of my more "easily persuaded" friends did.

De La Soul are awesome

[giraud74]

@ The FunkyAlchemist. No offense.

I know that there are some white people, like you, who are really down with Hip Hop. But that was not my point. It hurts me to see the pure form of art that hip hop is, has been squandered for the cash.

[NumbersAndNoise]

I don't think color is the issue. Eminem is awful not because he's white, but because he represents the commercialization and homogenization of hip-hop music and culture, the same way the music industry has done for every style from blues to emo, and produced indistinguishable, generic garbage.

[benjpeter]

Agreed brother. ...and let's not even start with the current crop of hip hop pretenders that prefer leveraging fame to sell denim and hats to teens. Tribe, De La, and the JBs had something to say and it was inspirational, funky and smart. Peace.

[Sendria]

lmfaooooooooooooooooo

ii find this video/song hilarious

because "Buddy" in Jamaican means

dick. Hahahahahahahahahaha

lol

[perezf10]

the guy in white 2:16 looks like he's sick of dancing.

[775hiteenaa]

lets push the industry and tell them hip hop is De La Soul tribe called quest wu tang Clan and pharcyde and nwa the list goes on

[775hiteenaa]

i agree with that comment from cjonyx one of them lets try to push real hip hop something like what De la soul used to do when you can still make fun songs and make songs that talked about life

[macewindu67]

Yes this is pure hip hop. Not the watered down mysoginistic version the mainstream tries to shove down everyones throat.

[rachelgrrr]

TUUUUUNNNNE!!! Love this, JUngle Bros, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest - best bands in the world

[cjonyx]

hey y'all......how bout all of us try to push to get rap back someting like this. fun, positive, educational that really reflects what the hip-hop/rap culture is REALLY about ! IT'S TIME TO TAKE OUR MUSIC BACK !

[RoyalFloss]

daaaaaaaaaaaaamn (L)

[time2demolish]

de la soul + a tribe called quest + jungle brothers = real hip hop

[suidaddy]

I like the bass line but i prefer "Here comes the hotstepper"

[StylistecS]

lol...you serious?

[suidaddy]

:P hehe

[bruno3030]

Can you imagine if the mainstream hiphop radios and TV shows played more of this kind of stuff ? I miss the old days...

[JASU4785]

YEaaaaaaaa true Hip Hop saayyyy whaaaaaaaat. Revive this Hip HoP pleeeasseeee... WORD

[mrsc4evaevaa]

[Phokhotic]

[calistudmuffin]

This that old skewl shit all the PERSERVATIVES AND NONE OF THE Additives. peac out.

[dramaticefx]

Was that Samuel Jackson that says "cut"?!?

[iluvmyboba]

I remember waiting hours for RedAlert to play this song. Back in'89 Red was all about BDP & The Native Tongues if you were a fan of either, you were never disappointed with his show. He really represented for real MC's. Thank You RedAlert!!!

[reggaegirl33]

high school like a mother! Check how skinny Latifa was then

[post1987]

holy shit thats latifah??

[yungyacht]

'89 to about '96 the best yrs of hip hop. the holy grail era.

[assasinmark]

old skool forever. this sets the standard for all that garbage that's out there today that i can't get with

[chaosdog05]

Notice...no Dom P, no Gucci, no bling no guns ...just rappin' everyone having fun

[leodungen]

yup... this is the stage of hip hop when it was pure... no additives just raw talent

[AHDShop]

[loosechange911]

holy shit this song has a video?

[milzika]

F*#K that song is so good!

[Twizzledoc187]

This was real music because they had a MESSAGE in this cut. EVERY rapper these days talk about their pocket books. Especially that gremlin look'n dude...uuuuhhm, what's his name? Yeah, Lil' Wayne.

[tomatotrix]

dddddddddddddope

[Twizzledoc187]

Now this WAS HIP HOP..... R.I.P!

[JKS2020]

I know that's right, bruh. The shit they're coming out now can't compete with the old school.

[Madgamer38]

I think Q-tip is in this

[JML897]

1:14-1:31 and 3:28-3:47 is Q-Tip.

[tashoney]

1:17-1:23 and 2:31- 2:37 I soooo love those scenes....where's monie love now??...I heard she and Queen Latifah and were best friends...is it true monie's from the UK?

[wreckords]

yes she is from uk. it's also alleged she's afrika's baby moms.

[Rushuto]

great video aww uooooooooooooo it is so great

[dublex]

man they must have had fun making this video!

[HurricaneSaku]

i saw this on mtv raps

[gitsumjulius2]

so this is where musiq soulchild gets his buddy song from.

[Krloz619]

Awebo krnal el mejor Ol SKool Rap siguiendo el movimiento de los Native Tongues

[wreckords]

you know, in a sense i kind of understand why afrika from the jungle brothers is a little bitter about the whole native tongue movement and how the media gives more acknowledgement to tribe and de la as spearheaders of the movement. i mean, he started the whole thing and just doesn't get the credit for it. came up w/ whole the concept and everything. he even gave q-tip and a tribe called quest their name as well as their start in the music biz and vh-1 decides to honor tribe before jungle bros.

[wildbnch69]

IAT

[time2demolish]
