[clarencejones07]

if youre a Tribe Called Quest fan, definitely check out what Q-Tip and Phife have to say in the book; HOW. TO .RAP

they talk about every aspect of MCIng and how they did classic songs, coming up with flows, performing, etc. its a great book

[DoctorSess]

@clarencejones07 you would say that...YOU wrote it.

[otze2007]

4 people really dont know what REAL hiphop is! or they hate the fast version^^

[MastaAYO]

is the audio out of sync for anyone else?

[MrLeopold1989]

Tha old times dude!

[chiangbang]

Saw them at Rock the Bells. My life is complete.

[gabkagabka]

@chiangbang I soooo agreeee!!! Most probably will shake my booty for the Abstract dj'ing at Ace Hotel :-) :-) Anyway, no one can beat this guys in the rap game :-) :-)

[Str8vAtO]

This is hip-hop at it's finest

[joeynipote]

[rzawilson]

HIP HOP REAL FOREVER !!!!

[seboufdu59]

RIP Dilla

[Sunra77]

THANKS FOR UPLOADING , THIS IS ''REAL'' HIP HOP.

[SGslaya]

this is right before rap/hip hop/whatever you want to call it turned to complete shit. all the guys from tribe cared about was rhyming, they didn't talk shit about people or other artists or talk about killing people. why can't it revert back to this attitude? sadly, it's not going to happen - at least not in this century.

[lyricalgza]

what the??...q-tip dont age or what?

[TommyBowe91]

Flowing at its finest.

[thernbking]

The Best!!!



[therhythmteam]

damn...whys the audio sound so good though???!!!

[Manseb]

Wish it was in synch... Ah well still sounds great...

[bitjockey]

woah. this just totally blew my mind. what a great late night find. thanks man, two of my favorite things (letterman & tribe) set in the late 90s. don't get no betta'

:)

[BLAMBERRY]

Anybody notice at the beginning...the band was playing we fight/we love?????

[tyus29]

this shyts old as fuck

[Litt1eLisaMarie]

Never seen this before!!!!

Absolutely lovin it :p

Big Respect for the upload!

:D

[IAMSAM09az]

What a gem! How about Rock the Bells this year!? Are you headin' out? The boys are supposed to be performing this entire cd!

[yuhkai]

its hella sad how these kinda performances might never happen again. they just aren't as big as they used to be even though they deserve all the fame :(

[kitsuneswordsman]

They got together for Rock the Bells. Ya never know if they get together again! ;)

[Addictyves]

Great Live Perf' and nice version !

ATCQ above Hip Hop !

[Hakwuaa]

and thats how it suppose to be done

[C231630]

wow....they sound phenominal live

[freqazoidiac]

This album, was a continuation of their genius of a group together, even driving the level of creativity UP with Consequence in the mix. I had never seen him (quence) rap live, thanks for this clip. On the DL..yeah..this album is on the DL but does not tarnish. I prefer the album vibe better, but it's still dope live..IT must be the band playing a bit ahead of the beat..sometimes they help, in this case I'd prefer to hear the samples ATCQused originally.

[moheto]

All kidding aside anyone looking to get into the rap game really needs to spend some time listening to the tribe and understanding what it really means to be a hip hop head

[litschi0]

i absolutely love this song, real artists... great

letterman's hair game is fucked up.... :P

[nicknicholls07]

beautiful

[InstinctBeats]

classic!

[micafonist]

ahahah at the end, he probably hit that, HI HOW ARE YOU?

[rodrigoulart33]

oohhhh mannnn, its greaaaaat

[Anihilist]

RIP Dilla

[sweetsoullover]

crazy love this group ...best hip hops ever..thx for A TRIBE CALLED QUEST ....peace

[KDPbyzar]

INCREIBLE EL DIRECTO

[saracha]

denver broncos..lol

[rj24vc15]

how old was consequence in this?

[jdjproductions]

like 7 years younger than tip

[BAGAKOOS]

classic

[robinovich1987]

who is the mc with glasses?

[iancurtis86]

Consequence, who is Q-Tip's cousin

[wanaa66]

@robinovich1987 he was the fourth member of A tribe called uest but left soon after there releas of tere first album i can't remember his name though

[FunkmasterTooT]

Jairobi was his name. he was dead weight though i thought

[iancurtis86]

that's just ridiculous, man. Get your facts before talking, please. Jarobi is the man who quit the group, around 1990. This is from around '96, way after, and it's CONSEQUENCE, Tip cousin, who rapped on several songs on their 4th album.

[JoeBrownDrums]

fucking amazing.

im so amazed by ATCQ. . simply amazing.

[Coolman9273]

man this is sick

[alfvar]

Haha Letterman made me chuckle. It ain't easy bein' a corny cracka. :)

[sirjazzhands]

How's it feel to be stupidly racist?

[alfvar]

Very good actually.

[stepz7]

dam nvr knew atcq was on letterman

shit came out when i was lik 3 haha

[fatbackfunk]

nice.. I remember this.. thanks for posting this..! And FYI .. the bands that perform on these late shows have to request having the house band sit in with them.. So in regards to the comment below, it's not the talk show who as you put it "messed up the beats" that would be the artist who in this case is A.T.C.Q. but in my opinion I don't think anything was messed up.. The band sounds great, nothing like real live instrumentation along side incredibly talented MC's...

[namkooc]

didnt realise that was consequence

[RealHipHopTunes]

why isnt faith there?? she supossed to be singign the chorus and why is shaheed not doing the beats, man all these talk shows they mess up the beats

[Anihilist]

Wow... smooth

[HipHopHermit3000]

Poor Ali Shaheed, he's stuck in the back playing cabasa.

[TheFunkdepuss]

Haha yeah, he looks well bored aswell.

[rvanbeusekom]

damn.. this is classic :D

[eltontrebajo]

G.O.O.D. music in 1996.. Consequense

[chiangbang]

holy shit this live beat is SICK

[cocobosox]

Is it just me or is q tip the coolest motha fucka of all time

[SIDESHOWSIT0]

[Ltwolf27]

[lukesmith10]

[mightymellow01]

[2muchsoul4rocknroll]

you talkin about in the plaid? thats consequence...he runs with kanye now (well kinda)...mad people say he is similar to lupe (i dont think so)...but wateva...

[mightymellow01]

right cheers man - just listened to the first couple lines "what's ya name?" "consequence" haha. probably shoulda listened harder. he's got an awesome voice

[insertclevername14]

He looks mad similar.

[widerling]

[maxoutkast]

Thanks man. I do have a god complex, so thanks for the support! All kidding aside, I had this on VHS, and went through and captured all my old tapes to my Mac. It was actually a lot of fun. Thanks for the comments! I waited all night at Tower Records for this album, as well as the subsequent concert tickets.
