A Tribe called Quest - Electric Relaxation (Original Instrumental) (1993)

[ToneFury]

NOBODY should be allowed to rap over this...even if u do,don't let no one else hear it..

[IAmRoLoRo]

Rell and K West used this

[jjsmooth21]

90's were the best decade for hip hop i dont think it will ever get that good again

[Juiceish1]

J DILLA BEAT MAN WHAT RONG WITH YOU BEATJUNKIE ?????

[BeaTJunKiE82]

@Juiceish1 lol dude...just LOL

[SinceretheGhost]

@Juiceish1 @BeaTJunKiE82 That's like saying, YO- that ain't a Wu-Tang beat, that's a RZA BEAT!!! That ain't Gangstarr, that's DJ PREMIER!!!

[krasen4oo]

@Juiceish1 Not every beat is Dilla's :DD

[TheEddyson456]

this the beat

[JaBiTiCaR]

this is one of the tightest old skool hip hop beats i ever heard

[syddasupastar]

my bros snagging this and rapping over it and will shred it

[TheRubronegro85]

This will never get old cause it's timeless

[RzrRyn]

@TheRubronegro85 Yup, something ALL generations can relate to.

[JackTron7000]

I love how it loops after three measures.

[speechrighter]

I know it's "please settle down," but it sure sounds like "reset command!"

[MrTaeman21]

IT ain't no Reason to Rap 2 dis...Quest Killed it lol

[xGrav1tyBlast3rx]

all of u dont know how many years i have been trying to hear this song!!!

[IIEVILNINEII]

Got no job so all i do is play, doesnt even matter the time of day, i be my god, decide my own fate, skippin down this path, that i have made, but dont get me wrong, its all about the song, smoke some weed so we can all get along, the more were closer the stronger we get, strike the lottery tryin to make it big, hot like lava on your first dig, no biggie you with me? hella bro ill makin like 50, without the shots, but i can still get the mic hot, like some1 runnin from the cops

[CBXweb]

Please don't rap over this.

[BluntSmokerr]

@CBXweb lmao fools are funny

[NerdyNae]

@taospark He says "Relax yourself girl we said please"

[08masterninja]

4 people didnt orgasm to this song XD its so good its calming and soothing.......

[MJP474]

ThanX:)>>

[LGullyE]

i love this beat.... search up Wisdom Gully

[407MikeG]

let my mind speak/ get grimy on a tribe beat/ I'm a lion u a sheep/ I was trapping in the jungle getting work for cheap/ u was a male stripper shaking your meat/with a thong on/ now that's dead wrong/my head gone/ I'm just high off life though/ sike hoe/ believe that if u wanna/only spark up premium marijuana/ and a dutch in my clutch now that's wzup/natural relaxation/ but my dealer charge 100 for the eighth/ straight taxation/it gets me nice so its worth the price/ sit back & get my mind right

[keoni158]

@407MikeG TheKingMikeG

[407MikeG]

@keoni158 thats wzup appreciate that

[Taospark]

What does the guy keep saying in the instrumental?

[vintagesoul73911]

@Taospark relax yourself girl please settle down

[Ice7311]

:/ Thats odd... I can't put this song on a playlist by itself and let it replay until I stop it. Other than that Im pretty much wearin out the replay button.

[DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

@Ice7311 u have to check mark autoplay then save the changes but u should beable to just go to the "add to" tab and click playerlist. hmm idk whats up with that

[TheRubronegro85]

the 3 bar loop to this instrumental is epic

[dwilliams354]

Why Can't Someone like Soulja Boy And ATCQ...It makes The True "Hip-Hop Heads" look like haters when yall say...Oh he must like soulja boy...or lil wayne....or waka...like all the artist out now arent as good but geez let em live...I AM HIP HOP and I Love My Black Music Weather It come from a white boy...or a kid who just started!

[ozmo1]

@dwilliams354 Why do you have to say " My Black Music" ? Do understand how ignoramus you sound, when you say that.

[dwilliams354]

@ozmo1 Cuz When Shit IS BAD THEY CALL IT BLACK MUSIC AND BLAME IT FOR CRIME AND BAD INFLUENCE SO WHEN ITS GOOD IMA STILL CALL IT BLACK MUSIC...AND IT IS BLACK MUSIC NO MATTER HOW RIGHTEOUS YOU GET ON YOUTUBE.

[TheRubronegro85]

4 people dislike this they must be Soulja Boy Fans

[BWATGGK]

Great sample. Love it.

[lowstarr]

question if an artist came out now with such a sound would we dismiss it as old school...

[alban4doom]

@lowstarr people who know atcq will take it as oldschool others no!

[dwilliams354]

@lowstarr depends on how young you are...too me it would sound more classic then old school..old school is more like McShan i guess

[SacSick]

did they sample something

[lowstarr]

@SacSick Jim Gilstrap (Move Me)

[lowstarr]

@lowstarr NOPE im chatting shit thats big l it is a sample from Ronnie Foster nice vibes this was my first hiphop 12inch i ever got 1990s was hiphop at its best :)

[rapidpossumsex]

@SacSick its Ronnie Foster- Mystic Brew (they literally didnt change anything)

[mrKirk0111]

Girls look better in a real tight sweater

[CannibalisticKoala]

This was made by Ronnie Foster and it's called Mystic Brew.  Look him up!

[hottencliff]

Ronnie Foster=Mystic Brew (Original Song). Good sample though!

[jaddajn1]

jesus christ 3 people are in a worse state than i am

[JoshuaYarb]

the 90's are gone forever :(

[m3liee13]

@JoshuaYarb yeah but we still got the music

[IxIPaincakesIxI]

@JoshuaYarb Indeed

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

Relax yourself girl.. Please settle- down

[MrOlssen]

watch?v=7N8cyMsmuaA

Can someone explain me this?

[aljee20]

@MrOlssen they probably remade it

[vibemunster]

look up Ronnie Foster mystic brew

1972

[fagaret]

Dilla didnt produce this idiots -,-

back then he was kickin it with the 5 elements what became slum village!

neither q-tip or dilla knew each other back then :p

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

Jay Dee only had involvement in the last Tribe album The Love Movement. The others were produced by Tip

[BAGAKOOS]

@oOViperrrr6Oo he also had involvement in "Beats, Rhymes, & Life". The Ummah Produced that album.

[ruma17]

Dilla had nothing to with this beat

[iYungDrizzle]

Niggas don't kno bout electric relaxation,

hop up on the beat, na haters won't say shit,

Strollin on the beach like I'm on a vacation and haters ain't shit for playin playstations.

I rock a fitted, keep it twisted, and I push it to limit. My niggas can feel it, others just get with it. Ya boy love me cuz he feelin my rhythm, my flow Is hot, my nigga I make it sizzle..

Just a little something.. ~K.B.

[aljee20]

THA WAYAN BROS BITCHHHH!

[dawiz961]

Hell yeah I've been trying to figure out what this song was. Freaking awesome dude

[prophecy505]

Wayans brothers

[sprosper9]

My favorite hip hop songs hands down

[kidkidkid123]

My favorite track off MM

[662chillin]

I can't lie. No diss to ATCQ but I have/can ride around just listening to this instrumental all day...

[ATCQFAN17]

q-tip made the beat...no doubt. it sounds like him

[DoctorSess]

thank you tribe for introducing me to my true love...hip hop.

[glund01]

greatest hip-hop instrumental of all time

[PlatinumBD]

@glund01: Without a doubt.

[babiislash]

wayans bros :)

[Devian981]

@babiislash wayan bros is wat made me try to figure out this song

[SidsMusicUk]

@babiislash what? is it on a film or something?

[87KMajor]

@babiislash

ill always remember the old lady getting hit and sent flying

[tintin4561]

ahah i was rappin along to this

[x617xxFRESHx]

3 Dislikes? How could anyone dislike this. whats really good?

[legendaryicecream]

hi everyone, im in a group called Vigorous Ice Blue Eyes or just V.I.B.E. for short, if you have a spare 2-3 minutes, we would just really appreciate it if you took the time out to just give us a listen and let us know what we need to work on

we're two 15 year olds, one of us writes lyrics raps, the other one sings and produces, please check out our channel and let us know what you think

[kay77764]

i alway loved this music. my son heard this for the first time on the wayans bros show & he like it too. tribe called quest always have good music you can bob your head to

[djt2012]

Relax ya self girl, eat some clams!! classic!!!

[ONPOINTMC]

3 DISLIKES R U DUMB, CUM SUCK MY DICK MUTHAFUCKERS, ALL 3 OF YA

[damthatriver09]

Everytime I hear this,I think of a black person with an afro walking to 7 11 to jack slurpee.

[waterhands20]

I'm in love with the bass (-_-)

[clarencejones07]

ATCQ's members talk about making classic tracks and how they write their raps and how they fit lyrics to the beat in a book they were interviewed for, its only been out a short while, the book's called- HOW TO RAP ,

in my opinion thats a classic book

[KHooksMixer]

The Wayans Bro's sure had good when picking this them. Perfect theme from a perfect group ATCQ.

[Tawkiie]

wayan brothers :D oh man, such a good series!

[EvilHippy38]

I love the upright bass in this song.

[shannonD68]

The musics sounds like the background of Shanice's 1992 song from The Meteor Man soundtrack, "This Love is Real".

[RitmoNo1]

@shannonD68 Try Ronnie Foster - Mystic brew

[shannonD68]

@RitmoNo1 Man you're right! I had never heard of Ronnie Foster before. I definitely hear where a Tribe Called Quest and Shanice got the groove from. At any rate, I always dug it. Thanks for the education.

[ladigirl]

Nice song but got some reason to me it seem like they not saying "settle down".

[daryl2280]

@ladigirl i always sang "relax yourself girl, preset plan"

[ladigirl]

@daryl2280

Close to what I say

[BeeJewellDaCaptain]

Yall should listen to the track I made over this instrumental, its in my channel and its called Shawty Smile

[Ironbaker]

The 2 people that disliked this need to relax themselves...please, settle down.

[BourneStarTV]

this jawn takes me waaaaay back. miss hip hop

[ononon7]

Who made this beat?

[BeaTJunKiE82]

@ononon7 a tribe called quest....like it is written in the info box;) peace

[gmjigga]

@BeaTJunKiE82 I assume he means who was the producer: Dilla? Muhammad?

[BeaTJunKiE82]

@gmjigga i know what he means;) and i say it again....atcq (= tip, phife & ali)...i don't think that dilla had something to do with this production....blessings! BJ

[skidexa]

I'm guessing it was Q-tip. People forget that he's a great producer...

[mcpresso]

@BeaTJunKiE82 would be q-tip

[dirtdogg619]

@BeaTJunKiE82 pretty sure ali shaheed made this beat yea

[MrJackahearts]

@BeaTJunKiE82 SMH J DILLA DID THIS BEAT A LONG WITH MANY OF THE TRIBE CALLED QUEST HIT'S

[beataroundthekush]

@MrJackahearts are u sure yo? was dilla even doin work for them in 93? i thought he came into the picture a little later

[ATCQFAN17]

@BeaTJunKiE82 q-tip did the beat

[BeaTJunKiE82]

@ATCQFAN17 man...i'm sorry to say that....BUT I REALLY DONT CARE!!! I LOVE THIS BEAT....and i hate this stupid arguin about who produced it....the original label/cover say it has been made by ATCQ...the rest doesn't matter!!!! thanks! 1

[ATCQFAN17]

@BeaTJunKiE82 tru dat

[BeaTJunKiE82]

@ATCQFAN17 thx:)

[GoggleMan25]

@gmjigga

probably sheed or maybe tip

Dilla wasnt rollin with ATCQ yet when this track hit the streets

[WillMillion15]

@gmjigga Dilla didn't start producing with ATCQ untill their 4th album when they formed the Ummah. Q-tip was mainly the producer on the first 3 albums.

[damonjavon]

@ononon7 but q-tip actually produced it

[Oristiumpier]

@ononon7 Ali Shaheed Muhammed made this beat.

[Mikizzle15]

@ononon7 Ali Shaheed Muhammed was/is an amazing DJ. He mixed stuff so well.

[MrJackahearts]

@ononon7 J DILLA MADE THE BEAT

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

@ononon7 Tip produced it

[klehnen]

@ononon7 I think the original beat Tribe sampled was Ronnie Foster's Mystic Brew, but I could be wrong.

[17BlitZzz7]

Wayans Bros ;D

[Trinitrotolaissance]

Bassline at 0:46 is just awesome

[TheAllahKazam]

@Trinitrotolaissance Ye fam. If im not wrong, the whole albums basslines were composed by one bass player and not sampled as most would conventionally believe.

[TheAllahKazam]

@Trinitrotolaissance ye just checked son. bass player goes by the name of Ron Carter.

[shop4sue]

@TheAllahKazam Ron Carter is bad....went to see him live in Hackensack NJ....back in the day.He's been around a long time even played with Quincy Jones

[TheAllahKazam]

@shop4sue he may be... i havent heard enough of him to say otherwise. But what he did on this album definitely adds a nice touch. him playin with the drums is a nice little stray from the conventional filtered sample we usually hear when cats drop a verse.

[BOUR2TL]

the old skool vibe iz killin

[Nostronomics]

i hope one day this kinda stuff will come back in style

[GlebeSoc]

People shouldn't leave comment raps on this. I'm not saying you all suck, but I'm pretty sure you can't pay respects to a track this beautiful. Only Quest could hev given it the quality rap it deserves.

[kambridge967]

@GlebeSoc u talking about people shouldnt leave comments, how about the 2 retards that gave this a dislike.

[AngryNAggrivated187]

yo... i normally kick facts when i spit raps.. but im bout to take a break no kit kat, just relax! cuz while nigga's talk about this, that,they bitch ass, n the way they flip crack n get stacks! i jus chill n drift past, all that riff raff, like shut yo bitch ass, mouth lemme kick back on the couch, far from a slouch, but im jus tryna make out the gutter like oscar the grouch

[JesusOnHeroin]

timeless

[aofoyayo]

this is such a smooth cool beat. real beats complementing real hip hop.

[sixfoot0]

lol old lady getting hit by bus. thats too damn funny.. some wont know what your talking about. but 112 do. ..oops 113. hahahah

[MrAdog13]

relax youreself your girl please settle down, cuz im a kool kat and i know that youre down, so you why you gotta front, actin like you aint a stunt, lemme hit that cunt, no? fuck it ima hit the blunt, while im watching mr rogers re runs. im a little fucked up in the head, possibly half dead, i keep forgetting what she said, she sounded like she meant it, and in my blood it stayed fermented, like some kindda disease, im begging you on my knees. without a doubt you know what im about :)

[ondablock123]
