tribe is arguably the goat hip hop group of the 90's. i know many will side with wu, but i roll with tribe now. as more and more time passes, i've come to side with tribe as the goat group of the 90's and the goat group outside of public enemy :wow:

Why are people so upset cuz I'm asking what makes tribe special?

Lyrically q tip was simple...there's no denying that..

"Funky like your grandpas drawers, don't trust me...your dead like Presley"

If lil Wayne said this , he'd be criticized ...tell me I'm wrong :snoop:

In 10 years they will be almost erased from hip hop . It's nikka Chief Keef age who have never heard a song from them . What you think a nikka who 14 right now think about them ? They didn't leave any footprint on the game . Sorry brehs.

So you're comparing a rapper whose prime was in the early 90s to a rapper whose prime was in the mid 2000s? And saying they should be judged equally in terms of lyricism? :heh:

Compare Jimmy Spicer in 83 to Nas in 93. In fact, hip hop got so woat that Lil Wayne, in the mid-2000s, sounded closer to Jimmy Spicer in terms of saying basic shyt compared to Nas :russ:

Q-Tip is simple and poetic. Tribe's vibe was colorful, down-to-earth, scatterbrained and jovial. From rhymes to beats (which Tip made himself I should add).

Lil Wayne is just simple. no poetry there. Just a simple ass dude rapping dull shyt about p*ssy over wack ass beats.

:russell: do your homework and then re-post
