let's talk about A Tribe Called Quest

[zerozero]

so after being put off the Native Tongues by trying to listen to De La Soul Is Dead last year I decided to try listening to ATCQ's albums a couple days ago ((yes I need a prehistoric late pass))

they're dope as hell

I just caught a bunch of references.. everything from Kanye's "award tour with common my man" to the Can-I-Bus chorus to Industry rule #4080 etc

I'm going to partly blame you guys. Why y'all ain't been talking about them while talking Rakim and Organized Konfusion and random dudes like Tim Dog and all these other 80s/early 90s rappers all day on sohh/coli

I've always known about the group of course as a pop culture thing but just didn't listen to the albums

Watch the ATCQ documentary. Its pretty damn good.

edit: Tribe is constantly mentioned on here

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Because they are great

Tribe is probably the least lyrical dopest shyt of all time. The vibe that all these wack boring non-gangster "regular guy" rappers have been trying and failing to pull off for the past 12 years came from Tribe...

It was fun but still a little bit raw...

Tribe is my favorite group of all time. I stan for them 100%. I remember the day my dad handed me the Low End Theory and told me to listen to it and the rest was history. My dream is for Good Music to do a tour and have Kanye bring out Jarobi Shaheed and Phife with Tip out there and have them do a set in NYC. I need to see these guys perform once before I die. And at being put off by NT by listening to De La. Lol you shouldve never continued with them, and went to Jungle and Brand Nubian.

 

[THE K-MAN]

THERE BEST ALBUM IS THE LOW END THEORY

here's my thread from last year about De La

help, I don't understand De La Soul at all - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum

I can't overstate how much of a that album was for me

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

shyt I was downloading their music as a little ass kid back in 2001.

Their music just sounds like it has more substance than a lot of other shyt I've heard/hear.

it seems like One Time 4 Your Mind sounds a bit like them, like Nas is trying to capture that vibe
