let's talk about A Tribe Called Quest

[Ian1362]

I went a bit crazy buying singles a few years ago and I found this great Stressed Out remix.

A Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out (Bjork's Say Dip Mix) - YouTube

speaking of Stressed Out remixes:



The hate on De La in this thread though?



The first three albums are classics



Prince Paul's production on those joints is fukking incredible

Tribe/NT literally form the basis for my tastes in music.

Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I had status and before I had a pager
You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop
My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop
I said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles
The way that Bobby Brown is just ampin like Michael
Its all expected, things are for the lookin
If you got the money, Quest is for the bookin


When the beat drops...
This track alone shyts on all of Midnight Marauders IMO. And I like Midnight Marauders... Both high quality albums.

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

[Majestyx]

de la > tribe.

 

[THE K-MAN]

de la > tribe.

[Majestyx]

crazy how slept-on they are

when chics say 'i like tribe more than de la' i attribute it to them thinking qtip is cute or some shyt, when dudes say it i'm lyrics and concepts = de la
beats are equal... and i'm being nice cuz i actually feel like PP is better than tip

the first 3 JB albums = Tribe first 3.. now nikkas sleep on jb's like crazy, it dont help that the light skinned breh was dressing like a tranny for a few years

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

This is the only right answer. Excursions, Buggin' Out, Butter, Verses From the Abstract, Check the Rhime, Jazz, Scenario...
Midnight Marauders is a great album, but is not littered with classic tracks like Low End Theory was.

"Yo, microphone check one two what is this
The five foot assassin with the ruffneck busines"
