A Tribe Called Quest — "Lyrics To Go" (

 

[Heretic]

Great list, I'd order it differently but Q-Tip is probably the most underrated producer ever. Him and Dilla did their thing on Beats, Rhymes, and Life. I feel like that album is so underappreciated.

 

[Jerz-2]

My top 10 list:

1. "Electric Relaxation" should be FIRST.
2. "Temperature Rising"
3. "Scenario" (Remix)
4. "Get Involved"
5. "Bonita Applebaum"
6. "Crooklyn"
7. "Give Up the Goods"
8. "Check the Rhime"
9. "Award Tour"
10. "Let's Ride" (one of the most underrated beats ever)

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

I came in ready to but 'Lyrics To Go' is my #1 too.

That Minnie sample. those drums

[Toe Jay Simpson]

That list looks kinda lazy. All those consecutive artists back to back, really?They got #1 right though

No “God Lives Through”? And if you were going to take a beat off the last Tribe album how could it not be “Ego”?

 

[FunkDoc1112]

For me the top 5 would be Give Up The Goods, World Is Yours Remix, Get Down Remix, Temperature's Rising Remix, and Electric Relaxation

 

[Black Miller]

q-tip did hot sex, didn't he? i always liked that beat, it's pretty simple, but that joint is dope. and helter skelter and mary j. blige both rocked on it for singles, they did a job on it also

 

[Hersh]

Spotify playlist?

 

[Funcrusher]

Nothing really wrong with that list tbh, but there's more than 20 that deserve mention. Oh my god remix, Temperature's rising remix, and more recently Renaissance rap and Thread Count for Roc Marci.
I think a with a top 25/30 it would be an interesting matchup between Q-Tip and Pete Rock.

Spotify playlist?

 

[Budda]

Vivrant thing should be in the top 20, very unique beat.

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Lyrics To Go is my number one also.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Vivrant thing should be in the top 20, very unique beat.

I think it was co produced with Dilla.
