A Tribe Called Quest is an American hip-hop group of the 1990s, formed in 1988. The group is composed of rappers Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, rapper Jarobi White, left the group after their first album but occasionally tours with the group. They released five albums during their ten-year career, three of which were very highly acclaimed, and disbanded in 1998. In 2006, the group reunited and toured the US.

Did not listen to hip-house, I was too young at the time to know much about such a hip-hop subset. But one thing I can say is that I love this old school dance-y beat by Ali Shaheed Mohamed. It is all things great about the early native tongues movement, and it just grooves away past Q-tip's verses. Anyone else have some cool hip house out there?... MORE

Most of you probably know by now that Nas plans to title his new album "Nigga." Everyone from civil rights leaders to radio DJs have been debating Nas's decision. Inspired by this, I'm posting two tracks for Hip-Hop Thursday that speak directly to what I hope Nas will accomplish on his new album. First up, is a classic Tribe song that deals with the word:...

Old School C has been digging through a back catalog of old '70s and early '80s music that seems to be heavy on the Funk, R&B and early Hip-Hop genre's (does anybody call it "Rap" anymore?) and has steadily been plopping down some true nuggets of virtually unheard of material. Recently he gave us a post by RAMP - Daylight
that for the first time was something that I knew I had heard before just not in it's entirety. I recognized it as being the background sample picked u... MORE

Sterfish posted this track just a short time ago but I'm bringing it up again to ask y'all what the sample is in the song. Now in looking through the album liners, I see many samples credited, but not this one, even though it provides the bed for almost all the choruses (It's a guitar(maybe keyboard?)figure,starting about 15 seconds in)
If you are a music biz legal person,a producer, or just happen to know, can you tell me how TCQ can get away without giving writing credit... MORE

That's right, my hip-hop track today is a classic from A Tribe Called Quest. Midnight Marauders, the album that "Electric Relaxation" came from, remains my favorite Tribe Called Quest album if only because it's the first one I ever bought (I did eventually buy their first two, though). It's also the last of the “great” Tribe albums. The two albums that followed weren't bad but they looked a little lackluster compared to the three albums that preceded them.... MORE

let me flaunt the style/i think that the times near/that we drop studs/there will be no duds here/rappers play the dumb/kinda on the space tip/but when they hear the jam/they be on the dillsnick- q-tip
Here we are 17 years later and that shit still gives me the chills. This is my favorite song on my favorite album (depending on the day) of all time. That should tell you how much i love it. Tribe uses a Grant Green sample to perfection as Tip and Phife

14There's been a lot of debate about the word. You know THE word. The infamous "N" word. Me? I use it. I judge it by the context it's used in. And in the following context, it's pure hilarity! This has got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen on South Park.... MORE

See, and I was finished posting for today, but...let's talk about classics. I think I'll post the mp3 too. You've gotta have good sound quality to really appreciate how great this beat is.

So there are some mashups that just destroy both (or all of) the great songs being combined... As an amateur at making them, this is what happens to me most of the time (I mean, I learned the hard way that Madonna's Like A Prayer was just never meant to have any of the backbeats from Dre's 2001 dropped in). But then, there are a few that make you wonder how these songs ever existed separate from one another. Now this may be a bold statement, but I think that Tribe's Can I Kic... MORE
