[beastmode40205]

the sickest Tribe beat ever...

[ChaosSonic103]

@beastmode40205 not at all bro... surely u have listened to mo tribe songs...

[beastmode40205]

@ChaosSonic103 I have, it was just my opinion, thinking back I think Get A Hold is the sickest..

[DaringKoala]

So ima kill -- all your negative feelings

too bad q-tip sould out :(

[scaroni39]

@DaringKoala how?

[raeman007]

3 people didn't do the hop

[aerrhh]

3 people don't know what hip-hop is! -.-'

[aerrhh]

this is hip-hop! damn yeah!

[jelloman17]

Love A Tribe Called Quest.

but as for the kanye talk, he's my favorite artist right now actually.

it's a long story. but I didn't really know what Hip-Hop to get so at the CD store I saw Late Registration so I picked it up and now I know like 30 artists. Before I only knew about 5? 5 that I probably didn't even listen too.

but anyways peace, y'all every listener has a story I guess... ; ]

[Absonyx]

Teach me how to do the hop yo

[roomraida69]

a lot of people slept on this album. But personally i thought it was a classic.

I mean, did you HEAR Phife's verse?

[BLACKWALLSTREET98]

@roomraida69 Bruh....... I was ONE of them. I pulled this back out this year, AND COULDNT BELIEVE I SNORED ON THIS ALBUM!!! Im making up for lost time, and I Bump this DAILY!!!!

[Jixahoe]

@roomraida69 Phife's verse is the shit<3 and overall great song.

[bebopdad]

Every artist is different. Notice I said artist, if you are simply blurting material decadance and ingnorance on your album you are not an artist, but instead one who exploites a genre to your benefit. Like Boogie Monsters said change someones life with your craft.

[FrESHKid301]

please tell me how kanye is wack if he got inspiration from the tribe shut the fuck up

[kbosati]

real music old school for ever

[strbrryDlyte22]

still a fav

[Hi1024]

people always tryna compare rappers. just listen to this Tribe classic. Phife was snappin

[Sirfiets]

ATCQ, Jay dee, Black moon, smif & wessun and Pete rock.

[marco93042]

cool shit,I love that song....that`s fucking hip hop from back in the dayz.....

[TheMarudin]

its really astonishing that people think that the new music that comes out now is the shit. But when i listen to this i can honestly say this is the shit

[skigh45]

yous a corny motha fuckaa, you must be high smokin dust with chriss tucka !

[Stylus1997]

Rashad Smith is/was extremely underrated.

[Onslow74]

Let me stab up the track like my name was OJ Simpson

My favourite Quest track. Fuckin' loves it!

[Chowkin9]

Now that I got that out my system, 

[sofuknossum]

i used to play gran turismo with this on the headphones

[905fam]

anyone know where i can find this beat?

[Samburger13]

this is chill.

[OzzyTing]

definition of illest. mad chiiillleedd niggaa

[SintaxOne]

"You a corny muthafucka, You must be high smokin' dust wit chris tucker"



[mayanmonk1]

"nigg@s sound like Das EFX

If it aint Das EFX then they sounding like Meth

you might as well do Megadeath

yo punk MCs better save you're freakin' breath"

This rhyme here applies to 99% of the current mainstream "artists", enough said.

[valleysofneptune]

...so come and throw ya panties down, TCQ were the bomb, Fife dogg had some sick lyrics like this....."you see you, your career is done like johnny carsons, get me vexed i'll do like left , i'll start an arson, now that i got that out my system, watch me stab up the track as if my name was OJ simpson.." now that people is lyrical spray!! dont make rhymes like that anymore.

[yeeeeeeeece]

fav tribe song

[MitchellLoves420]

"Yo, fuck the cops, you gotta do the hop" :)

[lilsolger362]

just cause other rappers arent them doesnt mean they suck..quest is damn raw though

[anatolianINVASION]

another ATCQ & Dilla Masterpiece.

vibe the F out.

[ahmad312]

@anatolianINVASION Man I love Dilla. But seriously everyone needs to stop assuming every damn beat ATCQ use is a dilla, qtip, ummah beat. They have some of the best beats. But honestly, my favorite songs from Tribe weren't produced by Dilla. Rashad Smith produced this track. Keep it Rollin produced by the Large Professor. Dilla is still tight tho.

[steeltownbrown52]

@ahmad312 Here here! I'm just tired of people saying Dilla did every single Tribe and De La Soul track. What irks me is they don't even bother to do their research. Just "oh man, listen to the bassline, you can tell it's Dilla". 9th Wonder sounds like Pete Rock at times but I don't assume 9th did "The Main Ingredient". The worst case is the Ummah HIStory remix by Michael Jackson. "It's Ummah so that means it's Dilla and only DILLA". No where in his discog that song is there.

[ahmad312]

@steeltownbrown52 Why don't any of you read up on the facts. AKA WIKIPEDIA... Every album i lookup is there, with performers and producers off the cd booklets...

[steeltownbrown52]

@ahmad312 I read CD booklets to. But to these younger fans, compact discs are looked as "rare artifacts". Back in late 1997, Source Magazine did a 100 Greatest Hip Hop albums of All Time. If you look it up on the internet, it has "Black Sunday" by Cypress Hill. The official print doesn't have that listed anywhere.

[ghost4doom]

@anatolianINVASION not a dilla ummah production

[swoove134]

enough of this wack shit like little wayne and bullshit. Bring back the real shit. The dope shit. Fuck these new marks.

[rastahuen]

It's not because im cold, i've got goosebumps

[xreb2008]

ATCQ in full effect! Dawg & Q-Tip killin it

[ZionBabylone]

Pure HIP HOP flow...

[eriqAWAY]

Phife Dawg Was Fucking Illllll <3

[sideration]

best one! ryhme n style...magic flow

[Skurai477]

my favorite from the tribe

[Onslow74]

Proper hip hop. Fucking loves it.

Watch me stab up the track......

[JohnBrown916]

i listened to this then listened to kanye and realized how over hyped and wack kanye really is

[culvre]

@JohnBrown916 dude, kanye sucks period. he pretends to be an actual artist and the masses eat it up, while he's really just a mildly talented sell-out douche.

[jhammaster]

@JohnBrown916 smh

[JISINSANE3]

@JohnBrown916 Yeah your right him and just about every faggot wanna be rapper this day in age. Pure shit. Just like that fag shit song from nelly.

[ofashodo]

@JohnBrown916 funny how Q-tip has been helping him with production for years now. Kanye signed his cousin Consequence, Q-Tip knows hes what hip-hop is unfortunately evolving to, but at least Kanye has soul. Dont use Tribe to put down Kanye bro.

[crstlcstls]

@ofashodo Its extremely cliche to talk shit about new school, even though it isnt comparable to the golden era stuff. use tribe to elevate.

[Jagspear]

@JohnBrown916 kanye is dope man. you could better compare this ne to lil wayne.

[NINJASE7EN]

@JohnBrown916

Hahahaha! Awesome.

[KoolAidPianist]

@JohnBrown916 I love ATCQ but there's no way Kanye's over hyped or wack. How the heck can you say that when the one thing mainstream media loves is to assassinate his character and downplay his music. The music industry hasn't seen a producer like him in FOREVER. He's not the most lyrical but his material is always fresh. Graduation came out in 07 and there STILL isn't anything that sounds remotely like it.  I wouldn't care if you said you didn't like him but to say he's over hyped is criminal.

[Tete2kaisson]

Grand respect pr ce groupe au beat 2 folie...Smoke BlunT & LisTeN...

[Division1985]

You's a corny muthaf*cka..

[biterface03]

This Song Influenced Me To Make Music Today.

Wonderful Work Of Art.

Nothing Like A Lot Of Today's Music

[ahomevideoonline]

"Let me stab up the track like I'm O.J. Simpson"

Lol soooooo great.

[AljoniMusiCo]

My tune 'Soft Spirit' was the sample used here. Thanks ATCQ for a kick azz track and for allowing a new generation to hear my music. Some of you have asked about the original instrumental,......email me!...................'now that I got that out my system'......:-):.......Al Hall Jr (Sanifu)

[jermain703]

man i fucks with the tribe

[0sanity0]

ATCQ... the hiphop artist favorite hiphop artists.... they made fans out of all they went up against, worked with and performed for.... in a league of their own... 'above the clouds' if you know what im getting at... it's a select few

[asianinvasionbiotch]

eh, times and music will evolve, but classic shit like this will live on.

[jchem]

this album is a classic from top to bottom

[jerrylo21]

Pfife Dawg verse was the Illest!!!

[AvidiaNirvana]

The Tribe has one of the best flows I've ever heard!

[RebelTheGreat1996]

I sill fuck with HIP HOP never gonna stop just not the Radio but Psycho Realm still doing it Wu Tang,Hiero,Soul Assasins,Cormega Non Phixion And Sadat X to name a few... Just Keep supporting HIp Hop Look for that Independent Shit!!!!!

[CharltonGroup]

[cozzy120]

[itzIsolation]

@cozzy120 LOL in the song 1nce Again there's a line that goes:

"cause tonightttt, we gettin' off like O.J."

guess they liked using him in their songs hahahahaha!

[purpledino64]

what album is this from? or is it unreleased

[supermike2164]

@purpledino64 This is the 4th album "Beats Rhymes and Life" People used to say it wasn't good but to me it was Just as unique and fun as all of their others. This one was one of their best.

[sickathanyoav88]

[albumn]

[albumn]

This by far was the highlight of this tribe albumn ....Yo fuck da cops we got to come back n do the hop!!

[joemccullagh]

will someone pleeeeasssssse send me this instrumental

[joemccullagh]

will someone PLLLLEEASE send me think link for this insttrumental?

[djbash914]

@joemccullagh i dont think theres an instrumental, you would have to remake it yourself.

[sergioescudero]

Get me vexed..... and like left , i'll start an arson.

[Skrybi1]

it's one of my the favorite song of ATCQ (in my heart always have a best place) love 4ever. ATCQ never DIE man !!!!

[tubeiroe]

I'm so fucked up right now and this song sounds fuckin fantastic.

[DrOctagon20]

I wonder how you got the unedited part when Phife says "yo faggot-asses don't want this."

I have one of the first pressings from 96 and that part is edited.

The Tribe albums always had parts on their albums that were edited while the rest wasn't. It's interesting...

[smokebluntzz]

Now that i got that out my system, watch me stab up the track as if my name was OJ Simpson

[element85]

PHIFE!

[b0nsai2481]

here becomes the word "classic" a true meaning !

atcq one of the best crews ever :)

[SimonaSmiles24]

dammmnn my favorite albumm in the wholee entiee universee,,,,,

Beats,Rhymes&Life

musicc couldn't gett anyy bettahh<3

[vollsticks]

DillaDillaDilla......amazing track.

[Brokewax]

This is not Dilla, it's Tumblin' Dice

[steeltownbrown52]

@Brokewax Who's Tumblin' Dice? The creds say Rashad Smith produced The Hop. Props for correcting that lost Dilla fan. Ya know the type that think J Dilla produced almost every single thing Tribe or The Ummah ever got involved in.

[MurderCassette]

@steeltownbrown52 Tumblin' Dice is an alias of Rashad Smith....dope ass beat

[KardiFan2000]

@MurderCassette That's actually the name of his production company...K-Cut (of Main Source) and Watts also did work with him.

[MurderCassette]

@KardiFan2000 Pardon the confusion....Jay electronica shouted him out as Tumblin' Dice at the end of My World (Nas Salute)

[joemccullagh]

where can i find this instrumental???

[camsince86]

Phife's best ever verse hands down, I lost it when I first heard this track.

[cavialord]

@camsince86

I totally 100% agree with you, and I experienced the same thing. Too bad I was on a train so I couldn't do my dance :p

[orgazemms]

@camsince86

One of the best verses period.

[b0nsai2481]

everybody do the hop !!!

pure dopeness ...

[lonelyshepherd96]

this song came up on shuffle, i hadn't listened to tribe in far too long, all i could do was laugh, phife's verse is just to good. boys on the production killed it as well.

[anccb]

yo i agree....phife was spittin fire...sickest verse ive heard from him

[NationalistRussian]

I've come to the conclusion that this Phife's sickest verse on any album. And if not that, then at the very least it's my favorite of his. The highlight for me is:

"You might as well do Megadeath/You punk emcee's better save ya' friggin breath"

[NicolasYates]

I love how Dilla was always able to make a joint that was equal parts rugged and smooth enough to Chi-town step to.

[DrOctagon20]

@NicolasYates. Sorry man, but it's not Dilla on this track.

[steeltownbrown52]

@DrOctagon20 I knew it! There are so many ignorant Dilla fans out there like a plague. Don't do any research and whether it's BRL or The Love Movement or anything with a Ummah credit, they think it's all him and no one else. They remind me of Kathy Bates in Water Boy. "Ya momma invented electricity, Benjamin Franklin is the devil"!

[KingKurt]

Damn son.

Fife went IN.

[UltraDOG17]

why cant rap be like this

instead of garbage

[cmbuvi92]

now that i got that out my system

watch me stab up this track as if my name was O.J. Simpson

CLASSIC

[Hi1024]

Come on you know im crazy nice

Brothas cant deal with the shorty named phife

You must be mad in the head

[DeftFlow]

So smooth and jazzy

[Saggit420]

[dosalltime]

[sunniebaybee]

[Cramu12]

CLASSIC

[TheSinghFIRE]

Kanye sampled Phife's lyrics in this for tht Wouldn't You Like To Ride track.

[Kutohtronicko]

of my favourite songs too

[Urban2006xx]

"watch me stab up the track as if my name was oj simpson"

[ahmad312]

@Urban2006xx haha i was studying to this joint focusing on my work not so much on the lyrics... suddenly i dropped my pencil and was like wtf Phife is amazing hahaha.

[kem1kal]

alright, is it just me, or is this one of phife's sickest verses? fuckin' love that flow

[JFMED1980]

this and phony rappers!
