  • this shit blows me away. SO GOOD

  • yeah !!!!

    ....

  • atcq

  • atcq....

  • Damn.... The bassline is fire!!!

    RIP J Dilla.

  • @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.

  • I want this instrumental.

  • 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.

  • damn right hip hop nowadays is garbage, generic and formulated. 90's hip hop, damn good era.

    you must be an BET robot if you don't like this beat...

  • @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.

  • @jamorse1221

    agreed.

  • srsly.. how da fk people listen to today's rapp.... sorry babbler.

    look at wayne, is he tell u any good stuff?

    i would rather listen this sht 1 times than listening today's shtty music 1000 times

  • way to set those westside connection goofballs straight

  • - I don't like this beat. -said a Lil wayne fan-

  • 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.

  • i aint no west coast disser another thing im not is a damn ass kissa

  • Someone PLEASE post this instrumental ASAP!!!! The flames are leaping off this track!!! Tribe Called Quest for life!!!!

  • If you are an 80's baby and grew up in the 90's like me when hip hop was (REAL) give me a thumbs up!!!!

  • I can listen to Tribe Called Quest all day long!!!! 

  • This Is the essence of Hip Hop!!!

  • Weird. On the version I have, its "Hip hop, a way of life" instead "Hip hop, can never be a way of life". Maybe mine is edited?

    "HIP-HOP, A WAY OF LIFE......."

    not

    "HIP-HOP, NOT A WAY OF LIFE......."

    ...at least not on my copy from 96

    or is there two versions.....?

  • This is a diff version.

    its 'hip hop, a way of life' of my version too and mines original from 96

  • the smoothest tribe song ever

  • yo im frm da uk i felt atcq since i was a kid i showed bruvaz about dis shit much love 2 atcq

  • DILLA!!!

  • 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

  • yeeah, what version is this? Never heard it... The lyrics now makes sense, though

  • DILLA IS SO ILL

  • Comment removed

  • Keep it movin, yeah to the K.I.M.

    Keep it movin, yeah yeah to the K.I.M.

  • i wish there was more good real rappers now but now all the rappers talk about is money girls and them

  • Q-Tip beat the shit out of WC

    much love for Westside Connect anyway!!

  • 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

  • q tip: "hip hop can never be a way of life"

    so true, its just music, entertainment. some take it much further which is completely idiotic and are very annoying.

  • so true.

  • KRS: "rap is something you do. hip hop is something you live"

  • yeah, i know KRS is a bit insane.

    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.

  • NICE BEAT!!!

  • 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

    copy that quote and pass it on , for me

    much obliged and take care !!!!

  • check the first verse

  • doesnt the beat remind you of all good my de la

  • love the beat and hip hop IS a way of life!!!

  • J Dilla

  • men this is ill. i think this is the best album of the albums they've produced

  • on which album can i find this track?

  • The 'Beats, Rhymes And Life' album, from 1996.

  • the anthology

  • this shit is nice son this beat got me hooked

  • Made by J Dilla

  • "hiphop could never be a way of life

    it doesn't tell you how to raise a child or treat a wife" you on point tip!

  • all the time phife

  • definitely the best group ever they flow so clean

  • @IxDIPS3TxI Agreed 100%, they ALWAYS flow clean, it's great

  • i disagree with tip hiphop is a way of life but tribe is the illest

  • this track is soooooo ill. i yousta bump this back in the day!

  • addicted

  • 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.

  • Yet another great 1 by the Tribe they will always keep me movin. Timeless music :)

  • 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.

  • large pro? no this is dilla

  • no this is dilla

  • Beats, Rhymes, and Life

  • i thought pac was cool with these guys

    i thought these guys were cool with pac?..

  • 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

  • nah..this was a reply to a diss track that WestSide Connection did called 'cross 'em out and put a K'

  • J DILLA!

  • wikked tune!

  • fuck yeah keep that ish movin!

    realness

  • Tribe Called Quest! Keep It Movin! Pharcyde!!Keep It Movin!! Hiero! Keep It Movin!! Hip Hoppers!! Keep It Movin!!
