@garububoy My guess would be that this is from the ATCQ Anthology LP. If you noticed, Q-tip's little ad-libs in the beginning are missing from this version.
No doubt, dillas untouchable....but it wasnt just him who did the beats on this album. It was him, tip and ali as The Ummah. Only a couple of the beats are entirely dilla, for example against the world on love movement
Guys I have a question. How come on this video, i can hear " Hip hop could never be a way of life", whereas in the album I downloaded, I can only hear: "hip hop......a way of life!!" Thks for your answers !!
@garububoy that's a good question. i've always noticed that, too. in some versions, he says "could never be" while on the album i own, he says "hiphop, a way of life." i wonder if the change has anything to do with the dispute between the group.
@anhpoint Niggas gotta stop hatin on todays hip hop. The mainstream may be a bunch of shit, but the hip hop of the golden age has spawned hundreds of incredibly talented MCs and producers. You just gotta look for it.
If you were truly, truly truly ask people who got them into the music of Hip Hip music in a deep way 8 times out of ten they would mentioned Gang Starr or A Tribe called Quest.... They are/were that good.
Whether you are born in the Usa, you are white,black, yellow or Red, from another country entirely - they are respected all over the world.
Let me let y'all brothas know I ain't no West coast dissah. Another thing I'm not is a damn ass kissah. So listen to my words as I set things straight! I ain't got no beef, so don't come in my face !!!! Keep it moving!!!!
my version cuts out the part where he says "hip hop could never be a way of life", it just says "hip hop....a way of life" like they tried to change the meaning. what the fuck is that
If you have a bangin system, people will be shakin in their flip-flops on this track.....the way jay arranged this one made it so you can get the full effect of the bass notes with enough time for your subs to recover
what i don't understand is that some hip hop has bad messages, so you go out and commit crimes because hip hop is to be lived. like i said and agree with qtip in this song about hip hop. ITS JUST MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT.
of course , by DILLLA!!!! rest in peace, no other words, and by the way he hears me , your brother and Black Milk , are goin to take care of your legacy. oh forgot , OH NO., and Madlib , the rest of the Solquarians!!!! enough said , you momma miss you , daughter had piece of a donut , none better of a picture on that issue of VIBE , to typify , hope to god his kids are getting royalties!!!! take care
Man, I love this joint, everytime my cellphone rings this song starts bumping, and everytime I hear that beat, it feels like I NEEED to bump my head up and down.
These kinda songs define how dope hiphop can be, without MIDI horn sounds and dumb people shouting into the mic.
Tribe Called Quest forever. In my opnion the best group of all time. Maybe not the most successful, but the best hands down. Too much swag. They were so calm but they always got thier point across.
pac was cool with nas and ATCQ but they didnt wanna be known as west coast haters becuase they rep the NYC cuz alot of they fans was on the west caost
this shit blows me away. SO GOOD
