Gotta love the sample,"Running away" by ROY Ayers.....thats HIP-HOP!!!I had this when it first came out...I use to play the hell out of this...lol,good Album..Raw Hip-Hop..AFRO CENTRIC!!!!
This reminds me of summer of 1990 riding the F train From Church ave to Coney Island with my big ass walkman that only had a rewind and play button lol. Been living down in Miami the past 12 years But ill never lose the vibe of Tribe called quest. Somethings will never be as good as they use to be, but in memory they will always be. One.
One of the best beats in hip hop. Has a dnb type of sound to it and I love it. This song isn't unpopular for A tribe Called Quest but I thought this one would be a top hit!
I'm 24 so I was like only 4 years old when this came out and I didn't really like hiphop when I was that young but started to in my teens... I enjoy this older hiphop more than the newer shit..
This was one of my cutz!! I jammed this entire album in 1990-1; my senior graduation year (Western Hills H.S.-Cincinnati, OH). This is my favorite hip-hop group. I couldn't get enough of them!!
first time i've heard this song from tribe... no wonder this is part of their original 5 song sampler. sick shit.. gosh darn it i am IN LOVE WITH A TRIBE CALLED QUEST!!!!! HOLLA IF YOU ARE FEELIN' ME!
@kadiebeex That's a Sly & The Family Stone song off of "There's A Riot Goin' On". It's either called Running Away or Get Away... Great song off a very heady album. Just like the video above.
@erickliddell I'll repeat this once more. Yes, that is the main instrumental sample. But the "A-ha-ha-ha" part is Running Away by Sly & The Family Stone, which Kadiebeex was originally wondering about.
someone PLEASE help me out here.... the bit where it sounds like someone is saying 'a-ha-ha-ha-ha' that is repeated throughout the whole song.. i heard the song on the radio the other day but wasnt able to catch the name!! x
this is a cool song but this was when atcq was trying to find their own sound this sounds kind of like something the jungle brothers would had used for done by the forces of nature album (look it up) but this is still a good song
omfg jesus can yall just shut up about wat hip-hop has come 2 now a days please? i mean there are some songs i dnt really reall disagree with but you cant blame them for underrating hip-hop it's not hip-hop. the more you hate the more they get famous i mean rap has a genre ppl learn that i feel that the fans who like materialistic music get it more than you guys do.
@cogreene wow you got the answer but ur theory was wrong. u see buddy music is a form of expressing yourself in anyway or any shape possible. u see the insane clown posse express themselves through horrocore u dnt attack them for it. materialism is a way of expressing yourself, an arrogant one but a way nonetheless. it's put on the market because u hear them in clubs im sure ppl want to dance right?
@cogreene but wait, theres more, genre has a way of expressing themselves and its art. example, gansta rap, hardcore rap, horrorcore, acid rap, golden age hip-hop, g-funk, underground hip-hop, materialism, crunk music, and trap musik, etc. 1 thing u dnt notice is that music has a repetition, theres a reason y lil changes his rapping, and i think nobody notices.
@jhammaster idk. it sounds like shit and the original purpose of rap was for friends to hang, have fun, and joke around....while expressing themselves. materialsim isnt expressin yourself its ignorant arrogance. all you things can be takin from you in an instant bro
Im turning 13 and today, I got all my mainstream cd's and took a hammer and broke them. I changed the people I was hanging with also. Im honestly just tired of the word nigga and a swear after every word. The music I listened to and the people I was hanging with definetly caused my grades to drop. It just made me not really care anymore. But this music just makes me feel like going to school and doing work and just working hard and enjoying life and the great music it comes with. :)
@tekknking good for you! the industry has always been terrible... soon it will crumble, for all the good musicians are going to the independent labels, and it will overpower the big ones.
@Milkshakeguy Haha yea, i realy dont get some artists in the game today. Lil wayne just mumbles some words lol. Drake used to be alright but some artists really dont know how to rap. Anybody can make a song after a dumb dance these days.
@tekknking I know exactly what you mean man, im 14 and almost feel the same way, ATCQ music is just so uplifting and motivational, right on brother :)
@ddrruummmmeerr i was totally just going to post the same thing.. end of the rap.. then 2.5 minutes of one of the sickest beats ever, goes on and on.. i wish every good track had a big coda like that..
@danthedonHBB This song was made during the heavy house music movement in NYC so that gap was done on purpose.This is a house beat and I think your a little to young to remember that era but people who are old enough can relate..
@thesouthrapsucks i notice your username is the south rap sucks look we dont have the same lifestyles ppl have in the west the east the midwest or the north all are raps are different learn what rap genre is please.
@thesouthrapsucks Now that is amazing to here that someone from the younger crowd say they love hip hop from back in the days. I'm 31 and I was in Jr. High at the time during this era of the Culture and it was great. Rap City and Yo MTV Raps was bagging back then. Hip Hop had so much soul you could not denied it. Productions and Marketing was much better but today it has fallen off of it blue print. It will be up to you the younger crowd to help bring it back. You all got The Juice. Peace
MCing on point, Scratching on point and the Beat is on point. It's Hip Hop at it's finest. I just thank the heavens that I grew up listening to this instead of what kids today have to listen to.
For All Those That Don't Know, Slick Rick & Pete Rock Used The Same Sample For Their Unreleased Joint Called "World Reknown". Check That One Too As Well.
Cause It Will Make You Play This Tribe Classic Right Here So You Can Keep That Real Hip Hop Vibe Going, Peace...
Today's music represents nothing. No matter what time period good music was made in, you can always claim it as new because music like this is TIMELESS!!!

The Tribe is one of the greatest and most influemtial music groups of all time.
I hate all this perverted and annoying "pop hop" that's all over the radio and the media nowadays(like Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne...ugh)The sad thing is that people actually like that BS.
These days you really have to dig deep to find REAL Hip Hop like A Tribe Called Quest once did.Real music for life.
the girl I talk to she such of neurotic her crazy ex girlfriend is really psychotic there's a girl by threatening her life said girl your dead if your not my wife. beater in public, beats her in private tried round me almost a riot said forget him don't you know hes a loser, whowouldloveawomanturnaroundandabuseher.
yeah... Tip did that! Honestly I forgot how hard these boys were going back in the game! When I listen to this I see how far hip hop has fallen... I feel old!
wow, takes me way back--i was 12 at the time, tight beats, slick samples, rhymes that flow like honey. upbeat, positive, timeless...atcq=true hip hop. i remember when new joints were droppin' every other day; there was so much coming out of nyc at that time. 4 train, 9 bus, fordham road, the boogie down, good times. thanks for the post
This was the 1989 album. I was 12 at the time and I remember everything in life at the time: Detroit won the NBA title; Arsenio Hall Show first came on; hip-hop was at its best. Damn this is my childhood and life. The music back then was a great soundtrack of all of our lives. No good music today and it's sick music has died.
I had this in 1990 , this was my shit, I still think low end theroy was the best this was second though, it was very thoughtfull, I miss real hip hop where everybody aint gangsters, HIP HOP is DEAD like that Dela soul album back in 91. Man i miss real hip hop.
"Low End Theory" always gets mentioned when people speak of the greatness of the Tribe, but this album deserves mentioning too when speaking of Tribe's greatness. Like "Low End Theory", this is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made. Truly a timeless classic!
I loved every song on this album, but I loved this song as well (especially the end). When I had this album back in the day, I didn't really understand what I had (One of the greatest hip hop albums ever) but I was like 15, 16 and gangsta rap was in. Still, I dug every song here, though. I loved how unique the album was at the time, heck, it still is.

wow, takes me way back--i was 12 at the time, tight beats, slick samples, rhymes that flow like honey. upbeat, positive, timeless...atcq=true hip hop. i remember when new joints were droppin' every other day; there was so much coming out of nyc at that time. 4 train, 9 bus, fordham road, the boogie down, good times. thanks for the post

This was the 1989 album. I was 12 at the time and I remember everything in life at the time: Detroit won the NBA title; Arsenio Hall Show first came on; hip-hop was at its best. Damn this is my childhood and life. The music back then was a great soundtrack of all of our lives. No good music today and it's sick music has died.

"Low End Theory" always gets mentioned when people speak of the greatness of the Tribe, but this album deserves mentioning too when speaking of Tribe's greatness. Like "Low End Theory", this is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made. Truly a timeless classic!

I loved every song on this album, but I loved this song as well (especially the end). When I had this album back in the day, I didn't really understand what I had (One of the greatest hip hop albums ever) but I was like 15, 16 and gangsta rap was in. Still, I dug every song here, though. I loved how unique the album was at the time, heck, it still is.
