A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhime

[ADevlin17]

how'd tip get away with wearing a braves hat with a yankee jersey

[llynncz]

I wish I could dance like Jarobi

[grammermusic]

rap is not pop if you call it that then stop

[ElSyd7]

You're on point?

All the time

[WiggityWackWes]

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I can't rhyme

Refrigerator

[sanjusanjusanju]

can somebody please speak to the fact that Tip is wearing a Braves hat and a Yankees jersey?

[RickhatesScott]

@sanjusanjusanju Not sure but in the song "Award Tour" Phife says "comin' with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees" so I think they were just the best teams at the time and some people don't care about where the teams are based in they just like the best teams because of their good play. But again, I can't speak for them

[BruklynG]

The documentary by Michael Rappaport on these guys was cool, it's unfortunate what happened. Being born under the sign of Aries, I can see why Q-Tip was the way he was/is. Natural born leaders, they expect loyalty from those closest to them and when you disappoint/hurt them, they are DONE with you

[ctownballer03]

@BruklynG Bahahaha. Yeah... let's blame it all on the stars *sarcasm*

[rmario1401]

this is where hip hop should go back 2.. the real era..... thumbs up if you agree

[bengal182]

I hate being 17. The shit that is out now is NOTHING compared to this. I would do bad things to see them live

[Dactuck]

@bengal182 That's a cop out You hate being young? Really. Cry me a river of pain.

[bengal182]

@Dactuck I hate being 17 for the fact that I wish I would have been able to experience this era of music in it's prime. I enjoy being young. Douchebag

[Dactuck]

@bengal182 REALLY. SO YOU define youth based on pure ignorance. Not friendships. Not the life-long relationships you've made. Not the respect you have for the people around you, who love you equally. You hate being 17. This bitch hates being 17. Ok. Let's make him older

[bengal182]

@Dactuck You're a fucking dumbass if you honestly think that I don't appreciate any of that. THE ONLY THING I WAS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED GROWING UP TO THIS DAMN MUSIC ERA. I'm not saying OH I FUCKING HATE MY LIFE FOREVER AND EVER BECAUSE I DIDNT GROW UP IN THIS ERA, yeah I said I hated being 17 but for you to honestly think I was actually serious and wasn't exaggerating makes you a complete retard.

[Dactuck]

@bengal182 Sorry. Bengal. I apologize. Who am I to define you?  Sorry bro.

[DoggyDoggyStyle]

@Dactuck these kinds of comments are unnecessary

[Dactuck]

@bengal182 Young and stupid. Do you really believe that the music you claim to love was predestined? Do you respect the blood,sweat, tears, and knowledge that Led to your false sense of importance? This clown "hates being 17?" . Being 30 is going to a funking drag.

[GoodFoShizzle]

Why does everyone bum anyone who mentions HOW TO-RAP!

[MRTDubs2006]

@GoodFoShizzle i duno but i see it everywer maybe should get the book :/?

[clarencejones07]

i was just reading the quotes that Q-Tip and Phife provided for that book, HOW TO-RAP, they say so many on-point things in that book, lots of knowledge to soak up in there

[banditgrl]

Loved this song when I was a little kid...

[ArtLikeHipHop]

People should listen this music all day, I listen it every day and I know how I check the rhyme

[TheHenzepp27]

[Evilenterprizez]

1993patos on the other hand, has bad taste 

[Evilenterprizez]

@ taclrc What rubbish you talk, I am plenty old enough to know of all of the people you mentioned but whether I like them or not, which i don't is a matter of personal taste not good or bad taste, I could say you have bad taste, I prefer to say different.

[StillMongo]

I love people who say 'only (insert age here)' How about you say you have better taste than most people who listen to hip hop. having good taste is not impressive

[WigTuts]

I'm 2 years old and have a better taste of music than anyone, since I'm so young and listen to this music I deserve thumbs up? Guys?

[thrashindastreets76]

I Love It How Rappers Nowadays Think There As Good As A Tribe Called Quest

[Excerpts360]

@1993patos Name 5 things that makes Lil Wayne is a good rapper.

[TrollinSeason]

@Excerpts360 Name a few things wrong with that statement.

[KollegeGirl13]

@1993patos You obviously don't know good music. Lil wayne used to be okay, now his is just like everybody else. He uses auto-tune and over zealous tracks. a tribe called quest is original, nobody sounds like them.

[gerdooful]

@1993patos lil wayne is an ass fucker

[colin4393]

@1993patos HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[colin4393]

[flamingtorcy]

if knowledge is the key then show me the lock

[bkkid75]

I was 16 growing up in Brooklyn NY when this came out. Alot of the references they talk about are true to NY that only NYers understand.. it was a good time to grow up in NYC. Im glad they brought to the masses..

[skinnyJEANking2]

My god... I love thi song! :)

[soundwavescape]

[songotenz02]

This is TIMELESS HIP HOP!!

[DrGreenThumbin]

RAP is not POP if you call it that then STOP

todays rappers need to listen to this song

[Leoooonard]

@DrGreenThumbin i mean im getting so fucking tired of hearing these kind of comments. if u even lived it the 90s you would know that there was plenty of POPULAR GOOD COMMERCIAL rap back then .

"Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is usually understood to be commercially recorded music"

[onderwaterkaars]

hahaha check out the guy at 1:42

[giyentstepp]

[PauliePauliePaulie2]

I say 'left my wallet in El Segundo' and push it along.... Classic!!

Love this track :-D

[ggn1]

@PauliePauliePaulie2 wow way off on that one

[PauliePauliePaulie2]

@ggn1

I was quoting Phifes line from this song, on how people say he has no skill and he says that!

[ggn1]

@PauliePauliePaulie2 He said he'll slay that body

[PauliePauliePaulie2]

@ggn1 please check the 1 min 10 sec mark and you shall hear him rap what I quoted originally. Thanks for the tete a tete though it's been amusing. ;-)

[alwayscrazy25]

@PauliePauliePaulie2 dude, its slay the body not left the wallet

[PauliePauliePaulie2]

@alwayscrazy25 after quite a few listens, you're totally right, got confused as he says in el segundo afterwards and presumed he was quoting from their other classic - apologies to ggn1 also - very persistant!! lol!

[alwayscrazy25]

@PauliePauliePaulie2 no prob man

[PauliePauliePaulie2]

@ggn1 You're totally right he says ' I'll slay that body in el segundo and push it along'. You can see where I got mixed up though right?! lol!

[5xXBallaholicXx5]

yo this is dope this is real hip hop back in the days ..search raygunz suck my flow these cats bring the same vibe

[JFunnyBunnyM]

I LOVE this song. Why cant music be made like this nowadays? Im only 14 and I have a better taste for music than most 30 year-olds.

[OziiBeats]

@JFunnyBunnyM im 13 ;)

[taclrc]

@JFunnyBunnyM You don't have good taste if you don't like Leonard Bernstein, Mozart, Mahler, The Who, and The Beatles :D so answer me this: How many of those do you actually know of?

[JFunnyBunnyM]

@taclrc 1st: Who are you to say that I dont have a good taste in music? I'll tell you, some random person on Youtube. 2nd: Are you saying that I have a bad taste in music because I love listening to Hip-Hop? If so, you can kiss my ass. 3rd: I've heard of all of those artist. Do I listen to them? No. Its not the type of music I want to listen to.

[nsamuy]

@JFunnyBunnyM How proud you must be.

[bronzhairandtan]

@JFunnyBunnyM theres still good hip hop out there check out people under the stairs or heiruspecs

[TheHunter14792]

@JFunnyBunnyM just cause you have a taste for music doesnt mean its better than everybody elses you little shit

[Cobhammar]

[kayb76]

cmon guy, im not saying that classic is bad, but you got dilla (RIP) and even today there are still people like Madlib and Questlove..so what does your statement say about them? thats just rude; it's call evolution. but ATCQ keepin it fresh tho i love the Ummah.

salam

[DBZmovie2008]

what stament did i make.......1991 cant get any better, tht?

[kuyaZ14]

Questlove is from The Roots, a 90's group. new rappers dont even have style, they just brag about money and thier "bitches". old school just needed a boombox and a mic
