Top 20: A Tribe Called Quest's Greatest Songs

[TheGOWPRODIGY]

whats the song before the 20. the intro?

[thecatshat]

@TheGOWPRODIGY Oh My God Remix from the Abum The Love Movement Bonus CD

[MrDisAsteroid]

We can get down?

[Crispysmith123]

My favourite rap group ever!

My absolute favourite Tribe track is "Jazz (We've Got) [Re-Recording]!"

Then probably "Description of a Fool", "Mr. Incognito". "Scenario [Remix]" and "We Can Get Down."

[travis6785]

where's 1nce again?

[MRPROH]

for those raised post 90's..the un-80's babies,it must suck to realize that you have missed out on the greatest era in music history.rap is fuckin gay now.look up the cover of the Source mag when tribe made the cover...compare that to any recent gangster/hipster shit thats being published.everything is watered down now.theres a factory somewhere pumping out clone rappers dressed in skinny jeans,flannels,and non prescription nerd glasses.rap was better when alot of people hated it.

[soljahsolrac]

its a pretty a good list but that would'ent be my number one?-u forgot some good ones,TRIBE-greatest hip hop group ever with pharcyde at a close second.

[burtonbro417]

i think mind power and the chase part 2 should of been in this top 20 list

[illexpreshun]

We Got the Jazz is the greatest imo.

[LauderdaleFat]

thanks!



[Andrew1134703]

[TheMediaAnarchist]

@Andrew1134703 CRU(Da Dirty 30)

[Andrew1134703]

what cd is half smiley face n half skull on the actual cd itsself its driving me nuts

[mrphreeze]

We have to STOP comparing HIP HOP to " C(Rap)" ... we know who is really the best from the golden era of HIP HOP .. ATCQ is my favs HANDS DOWN !!

[ilovelucy024]

Good list, but no We Can Get Down?!

[Xe7Jax]

When hip hop was hip hop...PERIOD!

[acid1adbkrew]

check the rhyme is my personal fav. everytime that song comes on my head starts boppin cant stop it lol

[thetman407]

love the list,but u gotta have luck of lucien on it

[illexpreshun]

@thetman407 agreed.

[JuanFlacoRodriguez]

Steve Biko would've been included if i had made this video, but i still agree with the line up. Good job bro

[guthrielindquist1]

my 10 favorite tribe songs in no order are check the rhyme can i kick it find a way scenario jazz (we've got) stir it up a million stories buggin out 1nce again oh my god the hop clap your hands (something like that) 

[VorkMovies]

@guthrielindquist1 No electric relaxation??

[guthrielindquist1]

@VorkMovies i thought about that after i posted this comment haha. idk making a top 10 is too hard cuz theres so many tribe ssongs

[TheMadnessFlow]

Mind Power???

Awwwwwwww.

[ATCQFAN17]

Butter Should Be There!!! & What About Vibes & Stuff??? Awww, Man!!!

[ATCQFAN17]

@ATCQFAN17 scenario should not be there 2wice!!!

[crisoner]

@ATCQFAN17 Yes it should...One of the only REMIXES with new lyrics etc.

[ATCQFAN17]

@crisoner IKR

[PlaxicoDurress]

It's just sad, because no matter how great A Tribe Called Quest are, they undeniably got showed up by their friends and frequent collaborators, De La Soul.

[eighteen18jts]

thumbs up if you came here because of their new documentary movie that's out now.

[commonsense628]

WTF up with Excursions?!? That's my top 5 all day

[andrewucla]

They should've thrown 1nce Again on there.

[mcfcfan]

@andrewucla no doubt

[tigerdrew92]

messed up with bonita applebum but all these songs are amazing REAL MUSIC

[kappacino91]

Steve Biko, Push It Along, God Lives Through,...actually Bonita Applebum is one of the greatest hip-hop songs ever!

[ecobill1]

Voices from the ghetto when the American Dream is very hard to find and getting worse. Being older I have to really try to listen intently since tough to understand. The boys from England The Beatles, I wonder how they would sound like rappers. Sweet if Lennon could do one big hip song from heaven. Hey people it is not the same what these Bible totters are selling us, People not that hip slick slick earthlings the shit is going down with Eco Armageddon.

[Travjumba]

STEVE BIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[aldenwu]

good list, Luck of Lucien, Rap Promoter, and Verses from the Abstract should be in top 20

[dan32321]

Excursions is way too low. That's got to be top five.

[STORMEE101]

THIS IS WHERE RAP IS BEST! IT WAS LOVEABLE AND U CAN MOVE TO IT JUST THE WAY U LIKE! I MISS THIS AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE REPRESENTED OVA HERE!

[HipHopLiztener]

@swswa221 And there are more interviews to be seen in the upcoming documentary film, Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest. I can't wait until it comes out!

[wilzusuki]

a tribe calle quest=real hip hop

[benstofly88]

tight as shit yo, but i still like wu tang better....

[Noops89]

Steve Biko (Stir It Up)

Jam

Get A Hold

Verses From The Abstract

I personally would have added these but a top 20 for the Tribe is tough.

[jnbalmer448]

what are some of their best CD's?

[TheFroInBristow]

@jnbalmer448 the low end theory, people's instinctive travels, midnight marauders, and beats, rhymes and life r the best, but theyre all amazing.

[bigfilmhat]

I'm not even a huge rap fan, but I can rap almost ever tribe song. The Tribe kicks ass!

[keesimo]

Who the Fuck dislikes this????

[dougcris09]

#20 is on my top 10. enough said

[realbonobo80]

a tribe called quest best hiphop act ever!

[kisoda1]

How can vibes and stuff not make your list. Well everybody has their own opinion

[Charlie3mm]

How can "Find a Way" be as low as 13th? That's gotta be top 3, for sure!

[datesie]

lol he said pager haahhahaha.... still love it all:).. i jus dont like stressed out because to me in MY opion faith can not sing....

[ruma17]

Good list, I'm definitely down with number one.

I include Midnight and Description of a fool.

Keep It Rollin' is def not a top 10 either

[EvePattinson]

oh and "Mind Power" and "What really goes on" ;)

[EvePattinson]

You also need Butter :)

[TheMadnessFlow]

Needs We Can Get Down.

Also needs either After Hours or The ChasePart II

very good list tho.

[guthrielindquist1]

@TheMadnessFlow i agro man

[guthrielindquist1]

personally i would of put stressed out a little further down the list and we can get down in the list. but thats if it was mine. great list man

[ferncaz95]

I like 'the chase, part 2'

[GSweed]

Q-Tip Is The G.O.A.T greatest of all time!!

[DELUXX420]

[lmvp]

[lmvp]

Bonita Applebum is number 1 and where is once and again??

[mcdamaja]

Nice list, but were is Mr. Incognito!

[lmvp]

Real hip hopppp

[xBallTVx]

You should make a top 20 for Mos Def and The Roots.

[feelingood22]

[rchs420]

[ChujCiWJedzenie]

[Jokkerokokkero]

great countdown, but where was We Can Get Down.

[nouzo8]

that one song where they say represent a lot is tight, u left that one out

[Kumashin100]

this is jazz rap ^^

[bballdaniel]

A.T.C.Q. = Classics only

[kendraJane420]

my love goes out to a tribe.they're the most infuential hip hop group from the 90s.nothin' these days can even compare

[jesuiscool]

@KountdownKing I feel bad 4 u having 2 answer all the obvious questions lol

[kinghakeemhase305]

where god lives through

[themuzer]

electric relaxation truly is the best.

[FRR333SSSSHHHH]

@themuzer

that shit is the jam though for real.

[WOMDBOOM]

I mean I like Pad and Pen but great list

[adelia154]

Fuck Young Money! This is the greatest rap group ever lived!!

[CrazE8D]

@adelia154 who compared atcq to young money?

[LilWayneTheBestMC]

@adelia154 nah D-12

Wu-Tang

N.W.A

Bone Thug N Harmony

And Of course TRIBE CALLED QUEST!!!!

[Glyyyyde]

@LilWayneTheBestMC all those groups up there are in my favorites. But can't no one hold a Candle to The Tribe. Sickest beats, sickest flow, simplicity at its best.

[cbcbc96]

@adelia154 young money isnt a rap group

[TheAbstractEyedea]

@adelia154 hell yea.

[VorkMovies]

@adelia154 This isn't rap, this is hip-hop

[TheLuvrat]

THE CHASE PART 2, LIKE IT LIKE THAT, STIR IT UP, GOD LIVES THROUGH,FOOTPRINTS, BUTTER, VIBES AND STUFF, AND RYTHM. IN MY PERSONAL OPINION SHOULD BE IN THERE TOP 20, ALSO SOME OF THE LIST SEEMS TO BE IN WRONG ORDER. SURELY LYRICS TO GO AND PHONY RAPPERS SHOULD BE IN TOP 10.

[dudewhyfi]

LUCK OF LUCIEN DESERVES TOP 10!

[turtleplh44]

I love this. And i can believe I limited myself from some of their song. Maybe I just need to buy all their albums. Amazon?!?!?!

[melara111193]

i like ur number one pick....chill song

[OziiBeats]

NO 1NCE AGAIN?

[Tybangy]

wack, he forgot 1nce again, that shoudve made top 5

[ProductiveBeats]

no mr. incognito?

[ndlaxball2]

It is my personal opinion that "The Jam" should have been included on this well constructed playlist

[fatappletacos]

check the rhyme is N.1 it should be



[semajseezall]

what about the hop or the chase part II

[melara111193]

@semajseezall yea thats wat i think soulda been up there.....all of there songs are my favorite lol

[Zmw192]

A Tribe Called Quest top 3 groups of all time ever

[VinceyFlava1]

come on man (Once again) is atleast top five songs from Tribe classic

[25710]

whats the intro song ?

[cameron829sm]

@25710 "oh my god"

[cameron829sm]

@25710 "oh my god"

[schoolrumble12]

no butter?

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

I first heard ATCQ in late December '93 from their album MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS during my first few months in the US Air Force during tech school from one of my tech school buddies just a few doors down from my room, and those same cats got stationed w/ me in Italy and played that entire CD the following year, esp. during dorm room BBQ days. That album will forever remind me of that year in Italy, and I'm glad "Electric Relaxation" is the #1 song by ATCQ!

[romeolaren]

yeah dude you most be high if you think these songs are good

[suewho415]

wat atcq song was playing in the beginning before the countdown? omg remix?

[Marquisecrowder]

i fucks with atcq all the way in h-town

[fosho123454321]

Where's like it like that? Take out El Segundo and put Like it like that there. Otherwise, most accurate list I've ever seen.

[RadioFlyerKid]

i agree with number one

[ArtCrimez]

all hail countdown king

[bpnj123]

Find A Way has to be one of the greatest hip hop songs ever...

[h0tsex0r]

UHH, BUTTER??? HELLO??

[RadioFlyerKid]

low end theory > than midnight marauders

but it all sounds great

[tammityra2]

Now this is what I call REAL fuckin hip-hop.

Fuck the mainstream.

[Jokkerokokkero]

Midnight marauders is easily my favourite

[dmajorhiphopproducer]

THE WHOLE MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS ALBUM

[55810082]

AWESOME TOP 20

[ris3andfall]

[aQuariusDancer93]

My favorite songs not in order

Find a way

Award Tour

[Festusbeats]

in other words, this top20 has neither one of them and it sucks ass

[Festusbeats]

The Chase, Part II is definitely ranked in my top10, along with 8 Million Stories

[ThatBoyDarren]

I Can Agree With The #1 Song

But where's Mind Power??

[MyNegr0]

[Kdnce]

@kambridge967

Vibes and Stuff is easily my fav. The lyrics "if ya come back/I'll be the first to shake your hand". Grant Green sample well used. Ill song. I probably have more Tribe vinyl than I do for any other single group. Some key joints missing from this video if you ask me.

[ToddRodd]

I can't fault the order. Although personally, I would have placed different songs in different orders if were to do a ATCQ top 20. But it's all in the ears of the beholder.

[RelaxednCaIm]

even though it's not really a quest track, drink away the pain, mobb deep featuring q-tip was really nice.

[ldorielan]

4 moms,hot 4 u,god lives through?

[AESOP818]

U forgot THE REMEDY

[DestinyRPower]

bruh this is a great top 20 but i think you shouldve put We Can Get Down on here that shit go hard

[KanapkaDrobakha]

[bigmyles34]

No Word Play? Man... You gotta have that

[tayottt]

"why u wanna do that love huh" funny how that line has traveled to common's "the questions" and T.I's "why you wanna"

[DestinyRPower]

[tafolly]

[MARi2COOL]
