Lyrics:
'Q-Tip: Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden
We used to kick routines and presence was fittin
It was I, The Abstract
'Phife Dawg: And me the five footer
I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter
Yo, Phife, you remember that routine
That we used to make spiffy like Mr. Clean?
Um um, a tidbit, um, a smidgen
I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
Well, then grab the microphone and let your words rip
Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am
Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram
I'm like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long
My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong
I slayed that body in El Segundo then +Push it Along+
You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man
'cause you know and I know that you know who I am
A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals, you see
And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's
'Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me
They get vexed, I roll next, can't none contest me
I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave
On job remaining, no I'm chaining cause I misbehave
I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check
And before I get the butt the jim must be erect
You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk
Extremity in rhythm, yeah that's what you heard
So just clean out your ears and just check the word
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check it out Check it out
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Play tapes y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check it out Check it out
Back in days on the boulevard of Linden
We used to kick routines and the presence was fitting
It was I the Phifer
And me The Abstract
The rhymes were so rumping that the brothers rode the 'zack
Yo Tip you recall when we used to rock
Those fly routines on your cousin's block
Um, let me see, damn I can't remember
I receive the message and you will play the sender
You on point Tip?
All the time Phife
You on point Tip?
Yeah, all the time Phife
You on point Tip?
Yo, all the time Phife
So play the resurrector and give the dead some life
Okay, if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock
With speed. I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
One hundred percent intelligent black child
My optic presentation sizzles the retina
How far must I go to gain respect? Um
Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own
Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
Industry rule number four thousand and eighty
Record company people are shady
So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
I don't doubt it. Look at how they act
Off to better things like a hip-hop forum
Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and
Proper. What you say Hammer? Proper
Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop
NC, y'all check the rhyme y'all
SC, y'all check it out y'all
Virginia, check the rhyme y'all
Check it out. Out
In London, check the rhyme, y'all
#ATribeCalledQuest #CheckTheRhime #HD #Remastered
"Record company people are shady" is a really important rule. It should be higher on the list than 4,080.

This group was such a huge part of my childhood. RIP Phife!!!
Mine too, back in 94 this was in constant rotation in the headphones and I remember almost ever word from this gem..... Low End Theory is in my personal top 10 albums of all times.
Yes!! Hey let's go back in a time machine and relive from 90s to the early 2000s. Just let me know!! Lol....I really thought about it. I hate this era.

Was phone on point?
As a 698 year old, I haven't been this excited for a young group since Guillaume de Machaut released his hit ensemble "Messe de Nostre Dame" in summer of 1326
gawd why is this always on our generation's videos
😭
🤣
Hilarious 😂😂
Damn Guillaume is true OG
They radiate the essence of people who are genuinely cool. That's because they are and always will be.
Exactly
Not only their music, the aesthetic of their music videos was so ahead of their time, the playful use of mixed-media and the black&white film-noir look makes these so timeless
And their hat style
you can thank Jim Swaffield for that, he directed a lot of Tribe's music videos, my favorite being the one from Scenario.
I was just thinking, "Who shot and edited this?" In '23 it still looks crisp!
film noir.... reminds me of Humanities class...
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!!!!
Yes!
The whole Low End Theory album is a masterpiece of 90s hiphop
Always been one of my top 2 or 3 favorite Tribe tracks. 🔥🔥🔥
All the time.
It is! Regards from Germany

I’ve never watched Jo-Jo in my life, but I don’t really mind the Jo-Jo fans coming here because more people need to listen to Tribe. I’m not about to gate-keep, enjoy the vibez

@@mukeshjogdande3152 "Check the Rhime"
Hopefully one day, this genre will be popular again
its the most popular in the world, I think meaningful is what your looking for, and not even that im an oldhead its just that mainstream rap is this just party anthem, drug bs
Please bring some rappers that use musicians,a DJ with old school knowledge, and a professional engineer. Trap sounded fresh when it appeared and mumble rappers are making it torture to listen two. Clean up their mouths, can they use another word besides they n-word. Stop bragging how you hit it. Women are turned off by braggerts.
What? In my country its very popular, hope you check “Alcolirykoz” and “Doble porción”. Im a spanish speaker.
I'm lookin forward the 2070's when a lot of the classic jazz tribe sampled becomes public domain. Maybe then a new resurrector will wake up the dead ✊
Sooner than u think my g
It hurts knowing Hip Hop not gon sound like this again
Yes :(
This is still a common type of sound in underground hip hop where they don't care about clearing samples, but yeah you're not going to hear it on the radio.
😢💔
Everything comes around, nothing is new under the sun. Probably not in your lifetime but this hiphop will be back.
@@THEODSTKING117 Strangers of Necessity have some old school sounding stuff, highly recommend

Ashamed that I didn't bother listening to Tribe until very recently. Holy shit, way ahead of their time.
RIP Phife.
way ahead
The thing is that Tribe is still ahead of this mass crap trap rap...
It was great time in hip hop Jonathan my favorite group A Tribe called Quest and De La Soul makes me feel like a teen again early 90's was great man.
Jonathan Morse they were always on point
Me too! 💯 I just started listening to this group this year. I always thought Tip was a cutie but never really paid their music much attention nor realized how dope it was. 🎶
I’m a Southern Girl, so I was more into OutKast, Kilo, Luke/2 Live Crew, and Goodie Mob.
I stopped listening to New York hip-hop in the late 80’s around the time groups like Run-DMC and Whodini played out. 🤣 By the time Tribe dropped, The South had its own artists, which were more relatable to our vibe and style. 🤷🏽♀️
I’m realizing now that Tribe was tight though. 😂
I'm 47 now and when it came out I was a teenager and still to this day... the low end theory is my favorite complete hip hop album ever... no holes... just great!!!
Same. 45. Was in high school when this came out. I still listen to their albums regularly. My favorite band of all time, and glad I got to see them while Phife was still alive. We were blessed to grow up during this era.

@@r3jk8 you agree?
This was heavily played in the clubs back then. Some good memories.

May his soul rest in peace
I'm sorry for your loss
Hope he can rest in peace
God bless you and your family
He's certainly in heaven with Phife now.
he had great taste in music, rest easy

Hey you! Instead of complaining about JoJo comments, why don't you lean back and appreciate that this wonderful piece of music gets recognition again almost 30 years later! That's pretty cool if you ask me. At the end of the day we are all here because we appreciated the song!
Yeah
@Lé Incubus I'm afraid you didn't fully get the purpose of my comment ^^
@Lé Incubus well tbh i haven even read one so called meme comment yet and all i've seen is people complain. Spreads negative if you ask me...
Hey you! Don't watch that, watch this! This is the heavy heavy monster sound! The nuttiest sound around!
Well said Nio
This is real hip hop to me
Yup yup
There are more comments from JoJo fans telling other JoJo fans not to spam the comment section than there are JoJo fans spamming the comment section.

Why? Is this song referenced in JoJo? Don't watch JoJo's, that's why I ask.
@@FluffyStiV409 a fan ending
steve49lol it’s about as minimum to a Jojo reference as a Jojo reference could possibly get.
@@FluffyStiV409 A fanmade ending/credits sequence for Part 6 uses this song.
This shows the reason why I prefer The Low End Theory over their debut. The wordplay between Q-Tip and Phife is just so fun to listen to.
yeah the first album is really highly rated but i just can't really get into the style of it
And the production on this one blows the first out of the water, in my opinion.
Сталкер I feel like Midnight Marauders was where they peaked and then fell off after that but all their albums are legendary
When The Low End theory came out in 91, I think, me and my friend Jahan played it over, and over, and over and...and I still play it. From beginning to end it is one of the few albums that you don't need to skip any of the tracks. It is a high water mark for the style of it's day, it is a timeless classic
Their first album was classic for sure but Low End Theory is on another level with the rapping and production.
So I've been listening to Tribe for a few years now, and the first three albums they made are basically perfect if you're looking to get into them. Here are some highlights from all three for the newer JoJo fans that are looking for more songs from this astounding group. (Johnny from p7 is my favorite JoJo, there's my credibility. You can trust me.)
So! Let's begin! I'll provide a little sidenote into why I love the track, any track with CAPITAL EMPHASIS LIKE THIS is one that I'm extremely fond of, so check those out first if you don't want to go through the walls of text.
From "People Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm"
1. Push it Along (Skip to about a minute in for the actual rapping, beautiful intro though)
2. Luck of Lucien (Wonderful showcase of Tribe's skills without standing too far from other tracks in the album)
3. After Hours (one of their GROOVIEST tracks in my humble opinion, delves into the nightly activities of our Tribe)
4. Footprints (A solid Tribe track, nothing too special about it, just a good showcase of their abilities)
5. Bonita Applebum (absolutely iconic sampling in this track)
6. Can I Kick It? (One of their most ICONIC tracks, if you listen to anything off their first album, make it this one!)
7. Youthful Expression (Q-Tip does his thing on this track, the beat is also astoundingly groovy)
8. Mr. Muhammad (for an absolutely killer intro)
9. Ham 'N' Eggs (for some hilarious bars about something very mundane)
People's Instinctive Travels has a more rudimentary vibe from later albums, and it's their least ambitious of their perfect first three-album run.
From "The Low End Theory" (My personal favorite)
1. Excursions (The bassline that runs throughout the track is FAT, but aside from that, Tip does his fucking JOB on the intro, and once the drum kicks in? It's over. The grooves WILL take over.)
2. Buggin' Out (One of my personal FAVORITES. I believe this is the first track with the classic back-and-forth verse trading that Phife and Tip will commonly do on tracks. Phife begins with a killer flow that fits perfectly with another fat bassline and seamless drums relentlessly pounding in the background. Tip also rides the fuck out of the beat during his verse, it's an absolutely filthy track)
3. Rap Promoter (Not the most essential track, it's Tip rapping about the pitfalls of being in the rap industry, you can skip this unless you're absolutely in love with ATCQ already, but listen to it if only for the transition into)
4. Butter (Phife talks about his relationships, his flow is impeccable, and you fall in love with Phife through this verse, it's so clean)
5. Verses from the Abstract (a very clean track, Phife kinda just spits for a few minutes over a very calm and collected beat)
6. Show Business (another track about the misadventures in the rap industry, the first actual posse track on the album, however, so check it out if you want)
7. Check the Rhime (you're already here!)
8. Everything is Fair (a lil track about surviving in New York)
9. Jazz (We've Got) (ABSOLUTELY FUNKY BEAT. UGH. The drums on this are very heavy, but not enough to kill your ears, just enough to make you bop your head. The verses here are chill, and when Phife comes on you'll freak the fuck out)
10. Scenario (YO. YO YO YO. LISTEN TO THIS SHIT. I don't give a flying fuck if you don't like hip-hop or rap. Listen to this posse track. It really paved the way for future posse tracks in hip-hop, and it's an absolute essential. Sidenote: Busta Rhymes does his fucking thing on this track.)
"The Low End Theory" is the most sonically consistent album Tribe ever came out with. I can listen from track to track without any skips and be just fine. Their subject matter remains solid throughout with maybe the exception of 'Skypager' which isn't my favorite.
From "Midnight Marauders"
1. Steve Biko (From the beginning ATCQ sets themselves up for an astounding album with a FUNKY beat, FLAWLESS flows, and PHENOMENAL composition.)
2. Award Tour (The chorus ALONE will have you rockin' in your seat or grooving your hips, but as soon as Tip and Phife come on, you'll understand why ATCQ is so triumphant. It's because they're THE BEST at what they do.)
3. Sucka ***** (I'm not black, so I do not have clearance to say that word. That aside, Tip provides very unique commentary on the origins and current uses of the N-word.)
4. We Can Get Down (GROOVE FOR DAYS. The intro alone will have you snappin' and crackin' along with the beat. I won't lie, the amount of times I've pretended to hold a mic and rap this to a roaring crowd is slightly embarrassing. But it features a very triumphant beat that'll make you feel like you're on cloud nine.)
5. Electric Relaxation (All about sex! But Tribe makes it sultry and intimate, you'll be grooving, and you may or may not want to fuck after listening to it. Who knows? But I love this track.)
6. Oh My God (An absolutely CRAZY beat, compound that with Phife and Tip doing their thing? Oh yeah. This was destined to be great. And yes, Busta Rhymes is weird af on the hook)
7. Lyrics to Go (One of their more unique beats, Tribe come off as very cocky and self-assured, but that's for good reason, as they ABSOLUTELY SLAUGHTER the beat they're given. "I'm Jordan with the mic, wanna gamble?" I mean COME ON)
8. God Lives Through (A very 'vibey' track, it's a very calm end to Midnight Marauders)
"Midnight Marauders" is an absolute joy to listen to, and if you were to tell me that it was your favorite Tribe album I wouldn't disagree with you in the slightest. It has some of their highest highs on it, and it's an extremely solid end to their phenomenal three-album introduction.
So, yeah! I hope that helped you out in your introduction to ATCQ. They're my absolute favorite rap ensemble group of all time, and let me know if you want me to do any of their other albums. (2016's "We got it From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service" is also phenomenal)

I shook hands with Q-Tip when he came into the crowd during this song. Phyfe controlled the other half of the crowd. It was at a 'Rock the Bells' show. I started jumping up and down around 1:57 with The Abstract standing right there.
Also in 8th grade, 'Violator: The Album' came out and I had the CD and took it to the beach on some 'field trip' we were on. I had speakers with me that I turned up loud when 'VIBRANT THING' came on. Other kids seemed to be enjoying it, but the teacher made me shut it off. I was excited for Summer vacation.
This is so damn wholesome
Nothing but love. I still listen to them . This was our culture in a song. Miss these days so much.
I been listening to this since 91 who still rocking this in 2020

I grew up on Tribe and am starting to introduce my 6 year old daughter to their incredible catalog. She knows that Phife is no longer alive and she also told me she likes his voice. She knows that it's a trio and that Ali Shaheed makes the beats. I hope someday she will remember hearing their music with the same fondness I remember hearing them for the first time when I was 15 years old.

"rap is not pop if you call it that then stop" how times have changed
Well, they were dissing MC Hammer if I recall correctly, technically Hammer made pop-rap songs, so he wasn't that wrong about himself.
@@FalB27 it wasn't actually a diss against him but mc hammer took it as one and dissed q tip in one of his songs
@Random Username eh i mean look at a lot of new wave guys that are less actual rap and rhyming and more singing shit. Look at 24kGoldn, ian dior, juice wrld, the kid laroi, and guys like that. The melodic "rap" subgenre is pretty similar to pop.
@Random Username yeah theres amazing rap still out today but look at how mumble rap and rage music has taken over. A few dudes in this generation stand out and have actual rap talent and make good new wave rap (ppl like kendrick, jcole, JID, cordae, jack harlow, joyner lucas, drake, polo, ski mask, and other dudes like that) but then theres guys like babysantana and shit making shitty rage beats that people overhype with no lyrical content. There are only a few people in this generation that make actual good rap music that could hold up against the standards in the 90's.
@Random Username Carti's lyrics may not be the most deep or have meaning at all but he sends the right vibes and i fw that. I'm talking about playboi carti and die lit, whole lotta red has a few good songs but most are not it even as a carti fan

Who can't love this tune is gotta be deaf to realness all love from the UK
Phife. The absolute GOAT of direct no front rap
peak ATCQ...the philosophical Qtip and rhythmic rhymer Phife dawg playing off each other with totally unpredictable game, the chopped up jazz beats. This is pure hip hop ecstasy
No Midnight Marauders was peak
Highly underated
"play the ressurector and give the dead some life", that's what we're all doing here right?
😊
Right
felt the same way.....damn they can ryhme
A tribe called quest isn’t dead
Tyrone Worthy Phife Dawg is, I think we all knew thats what he was referring to
This Gen Xer, feeling blessed to grow up during the best music era, movie era and sports era…..FACTs
RIP Phife Dawg - I'm listening to ATCQ all day in tribute to your awesome impact in rap and hip-hop :(
I am so thankful to have been a youth and to have grown up experiencing the renaissance of hip-hop as we know it. I've been blessed to witness ATCQ live. RIP Phife.... you brought your best to the game and the artform has been blessed because of your existence. Love and respect.
How does it feel so witness the downfall?
@@asdfasdg7845 hope you come bacl and read this: you stupid jo!
IF YOU ARE DOWN !!!! U ARE LISTEN IN 2024 TOO THIS 🙏🏼❤😊 Hello from Georgia 👋🏻
Yes dear saw them 92 in 165st Jamaica av love
fasho
We here!
I'm 46 and I'm beyond blessed to have lived this great era
Rap, true rap from the golden era ❤️👊🏻🙏
No commercialized bullshit, no mumbling and no beats that always sound the same.
Miss this good ol rap era
Keep missing it. Ima just enjoy the music no matter what era
word ❤️🤜🏼
I'm so glad I was a young adult during this era!!!!!
i know im half a century old now but the beats of THIS era will not be STOPPED. The samples are sooo sick. For all who have created/produced hiphop and laid down these beds of beats - Thank you
The best type of hip-hop
I’m 35 years old and this my first time hearing this. And I’m from Harlem
4/30/2024 EDIT: It's very great to hear that ATCQ were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Soon, many hip hop acts will get inducted there
Seriously I can’t believe Eminem got in before them..a damn travesty I think
You are correct ❤️
Rap is not pop if you call it that then stop!
I don’t let a statue tell me how I say I am
there really should be a hip hop hall of fame, but in the absence of such a thing, tribe should be in the rock and roll hall of fame
“I’m like an energizer cause I last long”. I wish that were true, 45 is too young. 😞
That's a dumb comment.
@@FlawlessSpit says the guy posting videos of smart watches and video games. Talk to me when you have a little more depth and life experience. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m a 53-year young woman, born n raised -and grew up in the 80s and 90s in Bronx New York. Couldn’t tell me nothing about groups like tribe, called quest, PE, Wu-Tang, I can go on, and on with groups and even individual solo artists. I have reached that age I don’t know how many years ago that I thought I never would, when I would stop listening to the radio because I didn’t know any of the current artist. That’s what my mom used to say, now I dig it. Thank God, we can create our own playlist, and I have a dope old school hip-hop, and R&B playlist that I listen to especially Friday mornings when heading into the office. Then when I step out the car, im on my professional-ISH, lol!
this makes my heart flutter. god, how I wish hip hop still sounded like this
I find JID’s producer samples a lot of Tribe, EdEddnEddy samples Scenario.
Youngsters! Take notes….this is what real music is…….peace
No saggin cussing
Low End Theory is top 10 of all time, there's no doubt about that.
Please take me back to the 90’s fr 😢😩 times was simpler and people were genuine
You have to love how RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine we have.
"rap is not pop if you call it that then stop" Q-tip warned the phonies
"What you say Hammer? Proper?"
Francis Gomez That was actually a shot at MC Hammer
Period
nowadays we pretend pop is rap. Shit is different.
agreed... but then again pop is short for popular so if a rap song is popular then it makes it pop? but i get what you mean... pop is shit
The older I get the more I miss real rap like this ,especially rap you can understand not like today's mumbling rap RIP PHIFE WE MISS YOU BRUH.
The was the Golden Age of Rap. So glad to have been there in real time.
“Now here’s a funky introduction to show you how nice I am”
R.I.P. my friend Phife ;(
Phife was one of the best to ever do it...RIP
This was shot in front of the house qtip grew up in, a clear shot of it is at 2:37. Jarobi said in a recent interview "Everything that A Tribe Called Quest is came from up those stairs"
WHAT A CLASSIC!!!!!
When he said "I'm like an Energizer cause you see I last long" man i lost it🔥🔥🔥
Phife legendary. Pen and Pad= great song
When Stone Ocean gets animated, the ED for each episode should go like this.
Episode 1-13: Ocean Man
Episode 14-26: Check the Rhime
Episode 27-39: Virtual Insanity
Episode 40: What a Wonderful World
word by word too lmao
Hell

I'd replace Ocean Man with M&H Band's Popcorn but the rest is SPOT ON
The final episode needs to be What a Wonderful world
