A Tribe Called Quest - The Chase, Part II

[LonnieSwag]

No dislikes rock rock on

[Boxybrown1991]

This...is...music.

[loveyou1952]

My man extra p said dont say the year....so its for eternity...Real shit. tribe for eternity!!!!

[BeastCars18]

Spiffy in a Jiff, fuckin luv Q-Tips flow

[kepop98]

Reminds me so much of my senior year in High School...I just shed a few tears...lol

[spaceistheplace69]

why the hell do they mention mcdonalds at the very end??

[DeutscheBagge]

@spaceistheplace69

It's called....dig this....it's called "humor".

[spaceistheplace69]

@DeutscheBagge aight, I'm glad 'bout dat

[tmat1973]

While watching the documentary, the moment they played this, it hit me. This is my favorite song by ATCQ! It elicited that kind of response! Mother Fucker!

[BeastCars18]

spiffy in a jiff, the seen of this in beats rhymes and life is dope

[DhatDadeCountyBoi]

 0 dislikes nuff said.

[hawkswin96]

ya styles are incomplete same as vinny testaverde

[psychesoap]

This picture remains a theme through all of their albums, even the first and last ones, the theme is just more undercover in the first and last ones

[TheHoodville]

Lol @ da picture.

[BboyPhreaZ]

Head nod in the sun in a car and i feel complete with this song bumpin'

[bang1bus]

Just listed to the other ATCQ after watching the documentary. Man this is by far the best music of the 90s.

[carolinastunna919]

my brother used to bang this track in his suzuki samarai. damn, those were the days

[richvfin]

LIL Wayne's styles are incomplete like Vinny Testeverde, For those who don't know who VT is, he was a QB for The Tampa Bay Bucs in those days

[hawkswin96]

@richvfin i had to sign in just to like ur comment

what a shame lil wayne and wiz khalifa is what people are into these days

and all they talk about is smokin weed, money, and sex

what a damn shame this is rap right here

[SocrateezBlaze]

@hawkswin96 you know wiz didn't always use to be the mainstream guy he is now, underground hip hop still has a lot of good artist that are aspiring to bring the old days back, look up wiz when he was underground, he was great, good flow, great lyrics, but he sold out and became what he is now(sigh), just thought i'd let you know. I'm not gonna defend lil'wayne, cause i don't really like him at all

[2Phaktor]

@hawkswin96 'Things go in cylces'-Q-Tip. No worries, homeboy, that boom bap will be back in the next generation when they go back and dig the CD crates. When they find this, they will discover jazz samples, research them and put a new spin on it like in our musical era. In about 10 years you will hear this shit banging in parties and clubs. By the way, the most UNDERSTATED fact people miss is the extent of Tip's music skills. He was the force behind Mobb Deep's 'Infamous' album.

[hawkswin96]

@2Phaktor haha "listenin to hip hop my daddy told me it reminded him of be bop"

but yeah i get what ur sayin man i sure hope people realize that people can be good rappers and not talk about bitches nd hoes up in the club in every song

people need to start being creative instead of just following what everybody else is doing

i think the biggest enemy is the record company people cause i have a feeling that when somebody comes in with something new the record people say this aint gonna sell

[2Phaktor]

@hawkswin96 I feel the music is a reflection of the times we live in. Right now, rich or poor, white or black, 'bitches, money and jewelry' is what is socially prevalent. The music that is marketed to the masses across all genres sucks right now. Its all the same song with different lyrics. But be cool, my friend. Stay in touch with the music of today and show the young cats how songs are arranged. DJ Premier said it best, there is a difference between making a beat and producing.

[2Phaktor]

@hawkswin96 ...and there is difference between plain rapping and saying something. KRS-One said: '20 years down the line you can spark this, cause we'll be the old school artists' It will happen to the people making music now; the scary thing is they will be saying the same thing about the music of today as we are saying about the music in our times. Some of these wack songs will be classics to the future generations.

[karil451]

@2Phaktor Lets hope not..

[alexweath]

"battlin?, ..wheneva hot damn!, gimme the microphone boi one time BAM"- Heavy D inspired this

[TacticalFinesseTV]

am i the only one that thinks midnight marauders is better than low end theory? just barely...but still.

[JackTron7000]

@TacticalFinesseTV I can't get into LET nearly as well as this Marauders. I'm with you on this one.

[SuperOldschool1994]

@TacticalFinesseTV i think midnight is better by an inch too.

[PAndemic1984]

Everybody in Sweden rock rock on!

Everybody everywhere rock rock on!

[d18thletta]

biz album was the first one i eva had..

[TairyHesticles]

Man, I forget how good this CD is for like 6 months and then play it again and I'm amazed each time.

[mjthompson03]

I used to like to try and name all the faces on the album cover!

[DeLaDutch]

@mjthompson03 lol, me too

[shushi1234]

dislike this if a Tribe Called Quest is the best group :D

[mhaze210]

Everyone here MUST see Beats, Rhymes and Life (the documentary). As a fan of documentaries and Hip Hop...it was perfection. The way they fit this song in there was beautiful!!! Just picture a really relaxing montage of the 'Tribe' in Tokyo and it somehow it took away all the stress I was dealing with at the time. Pure escapism.

[ryuradeon]

@mhaze210 it was a great film! Anyone who likes hip hop or music in general should see it

[U4rikmind]

the beat sounds like I completed a mission in my own version of grand theft auto except I don't steal cars

[sprouse9]

What the hell happened after this album??? I can't listen to ANYTHING after this album from Tribe. 2nd album is my favorite though.

[bournebeats]

@sprouse9 I think beat, rhymes and life still has the same vibe as the first three. tracks like motivators and crew. to each their own though...

[broccolihart1]

Dont mark us with the L cause you know we get the win, its the Ab, shaheed, and the dawg with the blend.....

[broccolihart1]

When you heard this song on the cd..you knew it was almost about to end and start over to track one....

[tyus29]

mcdonald's rock rock on!

[DRONEROC128]

@tyus29 very silly, but good they mentioned it xD

[bigfilmhat]

"Come now watch the birdie, your style is incomplete, same as Vinny Testeverde". Love this mutha' fuckin' Tribe.

[semajseezall]

Steve Arrington- Beddie Biey

[Pazos001]

Did Dilla produce this one?

[MrBOOTYable]

@Pazos001 No! Dilla started producing with Tribe on "Beats, Rhymes, Life" Tip, Dilla, & Ali Shaheed Muhammad were know as the Ummah. There that your daily tribe lesson :)

[Pazos001]

@MrBOOTYable nice beat

[steviebenko]

damn pfife you got fat!

[cfanzone1]

@steviebenko

classic opening line! "yea i know it looks pathetic"

[shczepcio]

If I Only Had One Album on a Desert Island… "Midnight marauders" for sure :)

[sprouse9]

@shczepcio Mine would be Low End Theory :-)

[TheD00Mster]

Best song on the album

[boombapster87]

Spoiler alert! Just peeped the Tribe documentary, and Busta Rhymes reminisced about this song and recalled tearing up hearing it. This is his favorite song on the album.

[DUGMAC1973]

@boombapster87 Has it come out already? I can't wait to see it...

[boombapster87]

@DUGMAC1973

yeah but its in selected theaters in selected cities. It opened in NYC on the 8th, that's where I peeped it. Should be showing in LA, ATL, Philly, etc depending on where you are.

[hiphopguru501]

Lol I don't know why people keep arguing who's better between Tip and Phife. They both have thier own style, and can do things each other can't. I like Q Tip's style cause he has a unique way of rhyming. Then Phife, he always likes to use people's names who were famous at that time,I like that. They probably thought they were iller then each other which is understandable because they both are so ill. I would rather hear them both in a track together rather than just by themselves anyday

[KazKatoch]

I always thought the chorus was Busta, turns out it was a sample of "biz markie - nobody beats the biz"

[oOViperrrr6Oo]

Bob Power you there?

[KiKinNiNi]

@oOViperrrr6Oo Yeeeah! lol

[batmanlooksgood]

1993!!

This is a song you play while riding in the car on a hot Saturday afternoon around 1pm, and just cruise...

[TheMadnessFlow]

Word

Usually Tip owns every song but Phife MURDERS this track

[quiknasty]

you people are trippin phife is the best "brothas wanna front but everybody know, i get more props then the arsinio hall show" thats one of the best lines ever created and who said it? oh yea PHIFE DID! so dont trip

[JjX101]

@TairyHesticles

never really compared bcuz ther both lyrical ridiculous on the

mic

[Kingrob30]

This truly is for eternity!

[mjtryrr]

Ever since reading these comments about phife being better i've been listening more intently to his verses and i've got to say they are pretty much equal, in no way are his raps inferior in my opinion, however i used to be of that opinion...thank buddha for youtube

[Ghost1X3]

Classic Album I encourage everyone to buy man serious we as fans gotta help bring hip hop back as well by listen to more soulful music like this, and less trash. Hip Hop Eternal

[Wutwut1n1]

oh yea man butter was so smoothe

[SintaxOne]

Thumbs up if this track gives you the CHILLS!!!

Tribe Defines the meaning of REAL HIP HOP!

[yokeelee]

OMG!! This was and STILL is my ish! That beat is a MONSTER.

[MrDoughboy1993]

straight up masterpiece

[worldofwarcraft1107]

haha 0 dislikes you cant go wrong with tribe ive been listening to the same songs for over a year they never get old . its just amazing..

[ATeenCalledLame]

A Tribe Called Quest are like the 3 Wise Men of Hip-Hop

[ufcfan2999]

@ATeenCalledLame HELL YEA!!

[brightseatbully]

I agree with most posters that Phife rips this joint. Actually though, he crushes this ENTIRE b-side. One of my all-time faves, next to Gucci Mane (I kid).

[AbstractTriks]

hey yo why is it every muthafucka that comments puts that pussy wayne shit! don't waste a comment on his faggot ass, you know what i mean, and ya'll niggas gotta stop closing yourselves to music. I mean wayne gots to get mopped up but you gotta listen to music in order to appreciate it, you think tribe just listened to rakim and pac and nas. Hell nah bet ya ass they listen to drake too. I don't mean his gay beat songs i mean like "Don't You Got a Man"and shit. Open ya ears.

[ufcfan2999]

@AbstractTriks FUCK wayne

[lperkin114]

Respond to this video... tribe 4 life

[hassoonee]

this is the proper music of artist, masterminds...geniuses, and lyricists.

The new crap on the block cant touch this, not even remotely close...

This type of music I Jam too

[GhettoBlaster100]

I literally CANNOT fall asleep without listening to this song. I'm 15 and I've been digging deeper into old school. I can't stand todays shit music

[FuckThePolize]

4:03 is not long enough...

[Celliam7]

[MonkeyBoy00000000000]

Another hip-hop classic that's BOUT TO WRECK YA BODY AND SAY TURN THE PARTY OUT!!!

[EdiBlazE]

The beggining is hilarious lol "Dam phife u got fat...yeah i know it looks pathetic Ali shaheed mohamed got me doing callisthenics..."

[kingrob29]

Luv the album cover. Poor Vinnie immortalized but not in a good way!

[jermain703]

[drunkskunkhiphop]

just saw them perform this live and it was amazing

[makeithottt]

Im bound to wreck your body and say turn the party out!

[Hi1024]

phife's rhymes on most songs are better to me

[REIGN131]

Mcdonalds?

[obas634]

the thrid guy is Ali Shaheed Muhammad

[LexyAAA]

Whos the other guy...Phife, Q-tip aaaaaaaand....?

[femiboy34]

Ali Shaheed Muhammad

[AaliyahandMichael540]

Lol...i used to have a crush on Q-Tip 2! He was sooooo cute wit his light skinded self and all dem other good features! lol! :]

[obas634]

I'm bout to wreck ya body and say turn the party out

[FDAPO]

this beat is relaxing

[damonjavon]

everybody keeps comparing tip and phife. thats so bush...phife did flow better on songs than tip but tip was the defector...he did the beats on the first 3 albums. they were both ill

[woowee53]

your styles are incomplete same as vinny testeverde love that line

[westwood123x]

Yeah I love it too speaking that Vinny Testerverde threw all interceptions with the Tampa Bay Bucs back when they had the orange cremesicle uniforms :-D

[IslandVeeDub]

hands down one of the best Tribe songs.

[Neptuneaus]

Don't know whether or not Vinny Testaverde is a fan of Tribe Called Quest but suspect either way he's not fond of this song ;)

[sammiejo0205]

I saw the Biz in the Atl airport the other day. (Turn the party out)

[kambridge967]

I like phifes part better than tips phifes was nice and short. tips verse was to long sometimes long is not the best.

[ATCQFAN17]

I disagree highly!!!! Listen to it again homie!!!!!

[kambridge967]

I think tip is better on hot sex and we got the jazz. But on this paticular song i think phife is better.

[bonessack]

Phife is like Eriuc Sermons Doppelganger or some shit LOL. Elite NYC RAPPERS!!!!

[marlymarrr]

Yo, Tairy is always putting up that real hip hop. We appreciate it man! Love & blessings.

[md9751]

Man im 18 and i tell ya i have found renewed ears for listening to hip-hop...i hate how dudes my age could like thiz bullshit of today....thxz to this kind of hip-hop thiz gives me more motivation to say screw rap of today....we need rappers with talent to deliver knowledge with a message....Badass track..soulja cant fade thiz Track....thiz Timeless man...

[TairyHesticles]

Hell yea! Keep listening to the good shit. The further you dig into the underground the more rewarding it becomes.

[shukrimoto]

@TairyHesticles

Best advice EVER HairyTesticles...ever think about shaving that shit?!?!?!? LOL

[OldSchool9690]

Same here man, I was sippin milk bottles when this shit was out, I cant listen to today's trash.

[westwood123x]

I agree with you 10,000% and I'm a young old head :-D

[Greatmurderer]

@md9751 Hell yeah like me and you like the only 2 out of 1000 people under 20 that says this shit today is ass. Im 18 to and I got all of the tribes cds and digable planets to.

[md9751]

@Greatmurderer man i cant believe its almost two years or so since i first listened to this gem.. im almost 20 now, and i still dont get tired listening to it. ur right its a shame hip/hop as its called today, has lost its art. Thank god 4 this track as an example of the true essence of Hip/Hop..peace

[MsStarryEyed]

@Greatmurderer me and md9751 have been messaging on here about good hip hop and like song suggestions. just hit me up if you wanna know any good tracks or other artists ;)

[MsStarryEyed]

@md9751 A newer artist that makes some good hip hop.. People Under the Stairs. they make a lot of good instrumentals and have that west coast hip hop feel. (either way, i like east coast and west coast stuff).

[MsStarryEyed]

@md9751 Another hip hop artist.. People Under the Stairs. They're newer, but they drop really good west coast beats.. I like both West and East coast stuff though. They have good instrumentals! I highly recommend to any chill hip hop fan!

[GhettoBlaster100]

@md9751 same here, I'm 15 and i cant STAND fucking lil wayne and pop culture "music" today

[alliecat08kc]

@md9751 soo true! mainstream got nothin' on The Underground!

[jhammaster]

@md9751 however there is a reason they are listening to the music its not necessarily their fault and yes this music gives renewed however industry music is not all bad because i have learned not to be biased.

[ajtwista92]

@md9751 if ur looking for good rappers today, look for underground. one of the most unknown but one of the best rappers ive heard is granddad woolly. he has 2 albums on youtube. just search his name or look up dashdouble

[MarcusHahnemann]

Q-Tip is sooo smooth! But Phife rhymes so well here!

[ATCQFAN17]

I had a crush on Q-Tip back in the day

[jinman77]

hip hop at it's best.

[HARDDRIVER73]

McDONALD'S ROCK ROCK ON! LOL

[PreppyBoy101]

4ever questing.

[nolimpimp]

I saw them in 98' on the mtv sports and music fest was rollin on x and I had an experience that made me realize real hiphop on point. I am greatful for that day!! My kids will grow up on real hiphop!!! I recommend this for all!!1

[theglory88]

its not that rare. hes better than tip on electric relaxation and plus butter was phife's solo song. so that dont count

[damonjavon]

phife was the man but tip was too smooth on dat shit

[leous666]

phife was better than tip on keep it rollin thats my opinion.

[NewYorkMets324]

rare song where phife's verse is better than q-tip's

[TairyHesticles]

I know. The only other TCQ song that I can think of where Phife outshined Q-Tip is Butter.

[Fugeosoul]

@TairyHesticles

Gee, maybe that's because 'Butter' only features Tip singing the chorus. Might as well add '8 Million Stories' to your list also then.

Personally, I don't think Phife outshines Tip on this one. He does so on 'Clap Your Hands'.

[schoolrumble12]

@TairyHesticles i think phife our rapped Q tip on buggin out too

[JoePesciVSBillyBatts]

@TairyHesticles don't agree guys, my favourite verse in the song is Q-Tip's nnd verse & outro... Rock Rock on!!

anyway, great song, great album!!

Bob Power u there??

[guesswhat97229]

@TairyHesticles

I've always just liked Phife anyways, even though his verses aren't quite as good usually. He's also pretty good in Buggin' Out and Electric Relaxation, to name a couple off the top of my head.

[wyansas]

@TairyHesticles and God Lives Through

[mjtryrr]

@TairyHesticles im gonna have to say that vibes n stuff is also one of these cases - for some reason i can't get into q-tips verses but phifes is just perfect - "all i do is write rhymes, drink, eat shit and bone"

[DamnIwannafck232]

@TairyHesticles and god lives through

[edrissa0]

@TairyHesticles i think in 1nce again phife was better

[Kingrob30]

@TairyHesticles I'm sure Tip didn't mind giving up some of his shine to his boy.

[fredalmighty222]

@TairyHesticles check the rhime, phife's verse makes mincemeat of tip's

[RDoubt96]

@TairyHesticles Maybe because Q-Tip didn't rap on that song...

[noahsk8s]

@TairyHesticles tip didnt have a part in butter tho..

[ciscokid1994]

@TairyHesticles I agree with that but their is one song clap your hands which phife did pretty good in that.

[wanaa66]

@TairyHesticles 'baby phife's return' was one of phife's diamonds too.

[leous666]

phife is better than q-tip on keep it rollin and god lives through also.

[bigboylikesalsa]

i will have to agree with leous666

rips the microphone...

[damonjavon]

not on clap ur hands man cumon

[dightmin]

@NewYorkMets324 q tip is soo ill, but malik has a sick steeez always!

[SoalaJohn54]

@NewYorkMets324 Oh my God and Electric Relaxation as well

[youarejustwaytocool]

@NewYorkMets324 I think phife's verses are usually better than Q-Tip's. I personally think Phife Dawg is a better rapper. but Q-Tip is still amazing.

[cripbuddz]

@NewYorkMets324 phife killed q tip on we got the jazz

[leous666]

i like phifes part

[tanheavy]

YES!!!!!

[hueston82]

oh my a fucking classic eh! great freakin album... !!!!!!1
