[StevenLindelauff]

Electric relaxation should be called Ultimate relaxation

[DubstepRage]

After watching A Tribe Called Quest's documentary, I started listening to them cause I can relate to all their songs.Then bought their book "How To Rap" amazingly its only 10 bucks. One of the favorites.

[Aquajonas101]

why are people so obsessed with involving weed with good music? theres more to it than that, man.

[GodlikePil]

This song should be called Electric Erection

[PlatinumBD]

@GodlikePil: Erection = Sex = Relaxation. They just skipped to the end xD

[wgarvin77]

[eroonee804]

hey everybody, if you wanna hear a girl rap something out of the usual check out my channel. I love this beat so i decided to rap on it, maybe you'll like it, if not sorry for wasting your time

-peace, love, music

[RetroDimeDiva]

Phife!!!! I love his tone!!!

And lemme not start with Q Tip

[circasurvive04]

grooovy shit!! could listen to this song foreva

[illuminatioracle]

damn. nyc before midwestern rich pieces of shit pretending to be poor pricing out working class families and culture from brooklyn and queens and spend all day pretending they're suffering 'occupying' wall street with their ipads and vegan cupcakes

[cestlaguerrex]

@illuminatioracle i don't have an ipad and i'm not a vegan, and i was planning to occupy wall street. stop stereotyping and assuming about something you have no idea about.

[illuminatioracle]

@cestlaguerrex yeah, but you're certainly not a native new yorker since they've got too much dignity to be in that fleabag breeding ground. even the bored spacy far left upper class of the upper west side wouldn't be caught dead there. lol you WERE planning to go, but I guess you're too busy defending such a fraudulent movement scraping the sea floor for comments that reveal what a stereotypical racist sham it is. go back to cul-de-nutsack wisconsin, wonderbread and mayo.

[cestlaguerrex]

@illuminatioracle actually, i was born and raised in queens and brooklyn. so yeah, i am a native new yorker. i didn't go because i had to go to school and work, exactly what i was angry about. occupy doesn't pay you which means i'd be broke and occupying, which sounds stupid. also, cul-de-nutsack? are you twelve years old? what is wrong with you? you're the reason why new yorkers get a bad name. i hope you have a good day anyway.

[skyhigh2274]

One of my favorite videos takes me back to the good ol' days I miss those days Lol!!

[bmaloy9]

the wayans brothers 1993 no taking about drugs or weapons this is true old school jazz rap

[Viktor4506]

From the Golden, ahem PLATINUM AGE of Hip Hop music; when Hip Hop was at its' FINEST!! There's a really cool fade out shot of the World Trade Center buildings in the background beginning at 3:38. That was tight!!

[taryll3t]

[Reqrezentin]

Who censors RAP? FUCKING FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[21pimppin]

GOD take me back to the early 90's enviorment..I don't want it to go away..thumbs up

[sbx213]

Real hip hop. No talk about guns, bitches, bottles, and cash.

[etarnell1317]

@sbx213 "I like em brown yellow puerto rican and haitian..." pretty sure thats all about bitches. All good rappers rap about bitches once in a while man.

[etarnell1317]

"Honey check it out you got me mezmorized, with your black hair and your fat ass thighs"

[Tbirdbassist]

@sbx213 Depends what u think a bitch is...

[Niggyomama]

@sbx213 well they are talking about girls.

[MrWaffleFri]

@sbx213

The song is about women though. But its done well, lyrics are great, and overall it makes sense.

[candlelocks]

@sbx213 i don't think you get hip-hop

[TheJb1rd]

@candlelocks ummm nah (s)he's not far off at all.

[lucidreaper]

@sbx213 I think you missed some lyrics.

[Republican1980]

@sbx213 shut up...phife clearly has a verse about bitches. open your ears. fuck q's first line is about bitches. so shut up. you old ass nigga

[PlatinumBD]

@Republican1980: Calm down lol. He did word that wrong, but he's basically trying to say that this is good music. Alot of music today isn't. This here is true..you don't see a bunch of stripped and vixens in this video..just real shit. Even though they do rap about women, so what? Who wouldn't want to? It isn't in a disrespectful way though..

[dagunity]

@sbx213 bitches is all em talking about , J

[fss1994]

@sbx213 Just sex, and womanizing. not that im complaining. lol

[FloganFly]

@sbx213

this is talking about bitches what are you talking about ? listen to the lyrics

[JHOT94]

@sbx213 this is actually about bitches but yea u were on the right track.

[benno491]

@sbx213 B.I.G talks about that.

[constantlychangin]

@benno491 thats the life biggie lived and he shared it with those of us who didnt have a insight to plight of ghetto life (the trap). he was one of the few that lived in the choas and was able to articulate what those people where exposed to, had to live through, and what it meant to do cruel yet necessary things to survive in complete desperation... he was a voice people for people that didnt have one, he wasnt a parrot and figure head for fake ass A&R for the bitch ass labels as of present

[2345godfather]

wish hip hop was still like this =[ beats were so good they get in ur bones lyrics cant stay out of your head

[MrRodneyBlack]

From 2:57 to 3:13 is brilliant.

[Viktor4506]

@MrRodneyBlack True Indeed, Mr. Black. True Indeed. Great shot of the World Trade Center in the background slightly off to the right side. Great video by ATCQ!

[AgentSimms14]

Real hip-hop enough said.

[brooklyn2393]

[SamuelPWNGE]

[mdkarmiel]

isn't it sad that this video was uploaded 5 years ago and it hasn't even got half a million views?

[PlatinumBD]

@mdkarmiel: There's a more popular video with over 4 million views...haha don't worry man, Hip-Hop lives on.

[lyctriangle]

[andykamkent]

This was the shit back when I was in college (1993)...I miss the 90's ya'll! I love NYC & A Tribe Called Quest

[sbh0408]

@andykamkent this was not 1993...he is wearing a carolina panthers jersey which denotes 1995 or later.

still a great song though

[blachubear]

@sbh0408 Actually, the song which comes from "Midnight Marauders" was released in 1993. The video came out in early 1994. I had to check and knew I was right because I remember bopping this back in Grambling State University back in 94. CLASSIC!!!

[keyzopendoorz]

Though most people know this as the theme to "The Wayans Brothers" This was a great song!

[justjulio123]

Only relaxation can descibe the vibe this song creates.

[IsaraiLee]

I love how real this video is. Taking cabs, normal clothes, home made do rag from stockings, eating at small time diners, puffy ass coats, and real city beauties. no big assed models, professional dancers, yachts, or bachelor pads, and insecure rich child minded attention whores, just truth

[smalldrizzl]

@IsaraiLee i feel u on thats tha truth

[bigsdsl]

@IsaraiLee I swear I was just thinking that...

[lollmfaorofllawlftw]

@IsaraiLee what, you can't be real if you're rich...?

[IsaraiLee]

@lollmfaorofllawlftw sure you can, but in most cases becoming very rich changes artists style in music and presentation.

[PAHZAZZ]

@IsaraiLee PREACH!

[Awesomenizzleness]

@IsaraiLee I can see your insecuritys through your comment

[IsaraiLee]

@Awesomenizzleness HAHAHAHA okay whatever makes you fell better

[Awesomenizzleness]

@IsaraiLee I can see right through you by your comment

[IsaraiLee]

@Awesomenizzleness LOLOMG, what are you my psychiatrist? you can somehow magically read peoples lives by reading the text in their comment? You don't know shit about me, and the fact that you feel the need to assess peoples lives and judge them from a simple youtube comment shows you have more issues than i do, now STFU and enjoy the music :)

[Awesomenizzleness]

@IsaraiLee Actually I can, I'm a fucking prophet bitch.

enjoy ready my comment and listening to electric relaxation

[PavelDatsyuk138]

@IsaraiLee not gonna lie, I do always love the big assed models though... Lol

[doneydubb]

i boom it boom itboom it in my jeep.
