- A Tribe Called Quest was one of the best ever, along with being a top 2 favorite group of all time for me. In no way were they not pioneers or influential and even successful. But for the reasons I will explain, they could’ve been a lot better. Their alternative, Neo sound dominated the 90s for music of that elk behind singles like "Award Tour", "Can I Kick" it and a personal favorite "Bonita Applebum". Their influence and pioneering ways can be seen woven in the cloth of almost every hip hop artist of the times and even more the ones that followed. The group consisted of Q-Tip, Fife Dog, DJ and producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White, with Q-Tip and Fife being the main rappers and faces of the group. They racked up awards and nominations from all over the music industry, and all their albums have either went platinum or gold from 91 to 1998 and even their final album released in 2016 went gold as well. With all the success they had, their ceiling was way higher than a 7 year run and not be recognized almost at all today. Did A Premature ENDING Stunt A TRIBE CALLED QUEST Career? Stunted Growth Music

"Like A Tribe Called Quest, you say the whole thang!"
- A Pimp Named Slickback
It's interesting to me how you can say groups like Tribe and others from that era ...had stunted growth. Groups like these (i.e. Tribe, Wu-Tang, etc) have careers spanning 10, 20...30 years plus. With albums that most hip-hop fans still listen to. And these days(with newer artists) I can barely remember what any "rapper" put out last week.
Facts it was about quality back then
This guy just talking gibberish for views which equals money, and tip still on set he has a joint out rn called
Tribe Called Q Tip
This nigga🤨🙄
Dude he literally says in several videos it's because they weren't as big as they could've been for whatever reason. Label issues, low sales, drug habits etc...he even said in THIS video they are pioneers and one of the best groups ever and top 2 for him. From that perspective he is correct.
@@rayxaivertm well, I don't think you can say he's right. He's speculating. It's an opinion and he brings up some valid points. But who's to say that tribe could have been any bigger than they were had they done anything differently? Their career lasted almost 30 years. Not many artists or groups in hip-hop (or otherwise) can say that.
Facts!
Ain’t no group safe from being on Stunted Growth I see. First Wu-Tang, now A Tribe Called Quest, so that means that Mobb Deep, OutKast, The Roots and even De La Soul are gonna be on the upcoming episodes.
Probably
😂😂😂 absolutely no one is safe
Has NWA been done yet?
Could also put on there CNN, Compton's Most Wanted, The Geto Boys, Westside Connection, Hot Boys, 2 Live Crew, Goodie MOB, Tha Luniz, Naughty by Nature, Run DMC, Salt N Pepa, Cypress Hill. Stunted Growth is the hip hop version of Behind the Music. And I'd say he does it better.
But groups are next to impossible to keep together. Especially when one member becomes big, not everyone thinking they're getting paid fairly, and some members no longer being interested in being in the group, etc
@@pmcneil15 He actually already did Goodie MOB

@@frankm404 Good looks!
Rest in Peace Phife Dog 🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏
A tribe called quest created the conscious, backpack archetype rapper like Mos Def, Tweli, Common, and Ye.
A tribe called quest maintain their mojo during the arrival of gangsta rap.
I still listen to tribe all the time, they have knowledgeable lyrics, party lyrics, introspective lyrics and metaphors.
the beats on tribe albums is sick because it's diversified in sound.
J Dilla and Q tip created the ummah which was some Producer wizard stuff.
Rip Phife Dawg and J Dilla
They're some many 90s(underground) rap groups that deserve a unsung it's not even funny.
@@BlindassassinMGTOW it's the man blind Assassin. Definitely. There's a lot of gems. In the underground hip hop world.
I thought it was Black Moon that started that backpack movement in Hip-Hop.
Aside from DE LA SOUL, what "super rap group" from the Golden Age '90s survived intact? The (unfortunate) changing, profit-driven climate of Hip Hop pushed "solo" artists, and destroyed any spiritual/soul element that had bound our community together. The worst thing that could have happened to Hip Hop was mainstream (corporate) acceptance.
Without them there is NO Outkast!
Midnight Marauders is my favorite rap album ever😭. Legendary Group!
Same for me, alongside The Low End Theory 🧡❤️💛💚🖤
Lo end was decent but that MM was insane, them beats/mixing / sonically it was like an east coast chronic
@@marvinbennett8384 low end only decent?? My goodness 🤦🏿♂️
I have it as a top 5 rap album of all time...
To me Midnight was their most musically sonic sound of perfection. They couldn’t have done it any better. That album should’ve been a 5 mic album on the source.
When you think A Tribe Called Quest.....what do you think? 4 kids from Queens New York, started off Afrocentric, & Native Tongue members ? Well what if I tell you this group brought jazz samples over Boom Bap drums, heavy bass lines, funk, folk, & neo soul-Ish keys. They fore fronted NY Hip Hop where most of the country embraced the West Coast G-Funk rap. The first album "People's Distinctively Walk The Path & Rhythm" great album....bangin' samples, lyrics wasn't that strong but still made your head nod. Then "Low End Theory"...that's when Tribe truly introduced themselves to us....Phife came off lyrically on that album.....Then come my favorite album" Beats, Rhymes,& Life".....one of the reasons why this was my favorite album is because they team up with J-Dilla to form"The Umah" with Dilla on productions, whole album 🔥......Then "Midnight Marauders".....OMG ! They begin to do more collabos outside of Native Tongues, Leaders Of New School & Large Professor......Then "Love Movement" .....good.album but seem to lean towards more radio friendly songs. The last Album "We Got It From Here" well, I like 3 cuts on it but the album felt a little lazy. Then the solo careers.....movie appearances, & even a documentary on there career.....inconclusion, I was a little offended calling them stunted growth because Tribe left a legacy with great music 4 years....we lost Phife the group is not the same without the 5 Foot MC.....now that's Hip Hop.....🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
What tribe did for North
Is what OutKast did for the South
We need that VERZUZ
At all …
Not the same category…
ATCQ is a movement…
Qtip changed the game with sampling …
So many emulations ( J Dilla, Neptunes, Kanye…ect ) are coming from their job…
There is no Outlast album near to MM or TLET…
The greatest rap group of all time, RIP Phife the 5 foot assassin 🙏🏾
De La Soul was better..
Cap af
Beats, Rhyme & Life was the 4th album
1. Midnight Marauders is one of THEE greatest albums of all time.
2. The 5ft Assassin served mfers on Phony Rappers/Wordplay...
Ok, now I know how some felt with the Wu video, still going to hear you out.
But-
Attitude..I'm on my own jock, still
Cause if I don't say I'm the best, tell me who the hell will???
And
Talking bout, I need a Philly right before I get loose
Poor excuse
Money, please
I get loose off of orange juice
-The Funky Diabetic-
Was lucky enough to see ATCQ last show at MSG opening for Beastie Boys. They did a greatest hits mash up and Tip joined Beasties for "Get It Together" and Biz, Busta,and LL there to salute them. R.I.P Phife Dawg the 5 footer
Dope video. R.I.P phife dawn🙏🏿
*Phife Dawg*
R.I.P Phife
R.I.P. Phife Dawg 🙏🏾💯🗽
You might as well do Slum Village as well
No, the final album was a homage to their brother. The title clearly states that as they clearly had love for Phyfe up to his passing. RIP Phife Dawg….
Tribe really was that left hand of hip hop. It'd be justifiable to put them as either 3 or 4 best group of all time in rap.
Tribe really was a tribe full of goats. Fav rap group of all time they deserved a better documentary. Hip Hop pioneers
A TRIBE CALLED QUEST WAS A DAMN NEAR PERFECT GROUP!! Q - TIP HAD SOLO SUCCESS BUT PHIFE DAWG WAS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN Q-TIP WITH THE RHYMES ! THEY HAD STYLE AND THERE SOUND WAS PERFECT FOR ITS TIME!! THEY ARE LEGENDS IN THERE OWN RIGHT!!
💯💯💯💯💯
This group is from my era, I swear I don't remember being on tv as early as 1987
Right maybe 90-91
IDK bro u must be a future fan or something ..I can't say these guys stunted their growth they set so many trends that still thrive today.Which they still tour HEAVY and lets not forget 1 original member died.Tribe set the standard inn hip hop which is STILL upheld till this day...R.I.P phife..
My guy is going to do every rapper or rap group in hip hop history lmao everybody have they time just because they not making hits today dont mean they growth stunted bro
😭😭😭
Tell that to haters who likes yo quickly pivot to "relevancy" when arguing about hip-hop.
🤔 yeah it does... Look at other genre's of music..
@@blackdragon6 exactly there is a guy below us who commented I'm just ignoring him some ppl love to argue just to argue no need to waste time lol
Q-Tip's 'The Renaissance' was a very successful album
RIP Phife dawg...legend
A Tribe Called Quest were the prime example of a group whose growth were indeed stunted. Imagine if their catalog was doubled the size if they stayed together for ten years longer. How many more classics could they had created. Even in that era.
I still listen to The Love Movement, that's my go to Tribe album. Good video! Do you have Camp Lo in the mix (they still make good albums by the way)?
The love movement doesn't get a lot of shine
That it deserves.
I like beats rhymes and life, shh I enjoy all of tribes album.
Salute to Tribe Called Quest💯💯
Tip killed the tribe when he tried to replace phife with consequence and did that weird ass jail movie
Nah Prison Song was a dope movie
Nawww…
What killed ATCQ is J Dilla…
Because ATCQ was jazzy and Tip tried to turn more soulful with Dilla … on the 4th album … you can feel it with solo projects after..
He would like to express himself…explore something else…
But Phife was more about being the same … keeping the same recipe…
Phife was on point but the beats and the prod want « ATCQ » anymore …
But I finally got the turnaround…
Because after a 3 peats …as artist … you need to do something else.. looking for a new challenge
Do Public Enemy (a group that really had a powerful message) Atcq was nice but coming off the heals of PE they seemed a little to friendly and I was still thristing for that FIRE.
Elvis was hero to most ......
I think their run was pretty solid, I feel like Midnight Marauders is the Zenith of their art. It wasn’t the same after the 1st 3 classics.
I lived in Queens Tribe was one of the reasons why I wanted to live in Queens! I thank Q Tip for what he did for Detroit Dilla! My homie I’m from the 313
To this day, Phife's passing is something I still cannot get over smh R.I.P. Phife. Thank you for dropping this video @StuntedGrowthMusic, just curious will you do one on Blu (who did "Below The Heavens") or Odd Future next ?
Underrated or not still dope ass rap group,one of best in east coast
One of the best period!!!! Respectfully
One of my favorite rap groups. One of the groups to use jazz music for their mixes. Every album was off the hook. RIP Fife and congratulations for making the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Thank you for makin this vid. Love seeing content on this group
i have to disagree with you on this one . i think they reached their peak . you can tell by Tips solo career and output . they give it all on those tribe albums .
2016 album had some of their best songs tho
I got love for this channel brother Tribe Called Quest was 💯 different in the way the dressed, danced, and rap. I believe in the beginning the love was always there. But some of the things that made them went like trust and respect. When friends are together the love will always be there. It's when you leave from round each other you go left and they go right. this is when the fuckary starts. We have a saying that we use in the UK. When you have a feeling someone is talking about you behind you're back. I would love to be a fly 🪰 on the wall.
StuntedGrowth a Dope Channel. Salute 👍💯💪
First Wu tang now tribe now lol , I see what he’s saying through out the video but without tribe I don’t think anyone else would’ve discovered The Great J Dilla.
Hell yeah Jay Dee and The Ummah. Tribe is a direct influence for Pharrell as well he stated in multiple interviews.
A Channel Live video would be dope, very underrated group, and it would be cool to see where they went through their career, anyone who doesn't know them look up Mad Izm with Krs One, guaranteed to make hip hop heads nod they head.
Back In the day groups only had 2 3 year runs at the most,the music moved faster back then from 1 style to another,,,
Naughty By Nature,Cypress Hill and Das-Efx fit that mold. Still their album trilogy was dope back in the days.
Can you really call a hip hop career "stunted" in a genre where the majority 9f artists don't have a lifespan over 10 or even 5 years?
I gave you a LOT of grief for your Wu-Tang video, but I can't argue with you now - ATCQ never reached their full potential - that does not take away from their achievements - they are my favorite group - but this video is all facts - (if anyone has seen Michael Rappaport's 2011 documentary on ATCQ, there is a scene at the end where QTip and Phife have a screaming match that is hard to watch, and you can feel the animosity) Listen to Phife's Ventilation album and you can hear the anger in his voice - I like Q Tip's first album, its amazing, but sometimes he comes off as a rap Austin Powers instead of the Abstract Poetic - You could feel the tension on their 3rd album, I wonder if that is why Consequence was brought in? Anyway, great video, and again, no one should get furious and list stats - this is my favorite rap group, there are no arguments there - but they should have done more with their potential before Phife passed and many people ignore or don't know that Phife and QTip just didn't get along - -
I get where you come from,but sometimes just because you know a person for that long and be in a successful group doing a job that requires being with the same person for that long plus what comes with fame can bring some form of tension between eachother i guess.i respect the fact that it didnt resonate in their music.only now that we get to learn about their personal issues now.
My all time favorite group.
Did the recording on the Arsenio Hall Show really say 1987. That's got to be a mistake
Much love and respect to ATCQ most🔥🔥🔥 hip hop group of all time.
From what I read and understood online Phife chose the album title and everyone else had no idea what it meant. I thought it would mean (and still kinda do) that even after Phife’s death, they would remember him and his legacy always moving forward. When you mentioned the backhanded thank you from the group to Phife Dawg I started to see why. Still much love to them and another dope video.
Love the A tribe call quest video...
When documenting a legendary group try to keep all facts in order beats rhyme and life was their fourth album
They have dominated 90s and then comeback in 2010s for one last album and shit was classic
HOW IS THAT STUNTED GROWTH
A Tribe Called Quest
People Intensive Travels in the Path of Rhythm(1990)
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Amazing prod and beats …
Only weakness?
Phife absence…
If he was 100% ok this album … it could be arguably their best ever …
Imagine Phife rhyming on Footprints 🤪🤪
Alot of groups were like that. Naughty by Nature & TLC. I'm sure he wasn't ready. You can't put that on Q or the group. That's on Phife.
@@jknumber5138 yeah sure bro …
I told it himself numerous times… he wasn’t serious about music at first …
But considering the budget …the era …the production of this album is amazing…
Man leaders of the new school should be next after that one interview dude said he reppin himself after everyone said they reppin Leaders of the new school
Didnt they break up on Yo MTV Raps?
@@oceano87 yeah it was Either yo mtv raps or the other show pump it up with Dee Barnes
@@amancalledhawk5575 definitely Yo! MTV raps
ATCQ is considered one of the greatest hip hop maybe even musical groups ever!! Their albums and songs are still played til this day. I think those things led to their down fall more so than stunted their growth. Great vid tho still.
Mayb bcuz this is tha name of yer show but, nuthin about their growth is stunted. If anythang it's tha opposite. Not only did they grow...Hip-Hop grew bcuz of them as well. ✊🏽😐❤
They are great
A major influence on Kanye earlier years has to be from tribe called quest. It’s so obvious.
The Pharcyde was also an influence on Kanye West too back in the day's.
Yessssmy group!
Leaders of the New School gotta be up next after this one.
Frfr
I never thought 1999's the love moment would be their last album as a group.
Lol their last album as a group is midnight marauders …
4th album and 5th album it’s The Ummah albums feat Phife
It should’ve been renamed the Last Movement!
They are my NUMBER 1️⃣ rap group!!!! I always felt like Tip had a bit of an ego and that’s what caused the downfall!!! I still listen to their music DAILY ❗️RIP Phife🙏🏼😎👍🏽
Well respected group! Help push the culture forward. Yes they wasn't gangster rap like NWA or street tap like WU tang but all hip hop pioneers respect them.
The closing instrumental gives me ATCQ vibes.....🐐 conscience group.
Bro, You SO RIGHT. No can hurt u like ya "bro" or "significant" other! They know everything and that betrayal hurts. I LOVED tribe and hated to see this happen on "beats rhymes and life". R.I.P to the "5 foot assassin" "funky diabetic" and much love To Q tip. Lyrics stick in ya eardrums. My favorite of ALL time.
Legendary Group.
I know a lot of folks are gonna hate on you about this, but I actually agree. Tribe could've been bigger. Tip & Ali would probably tell you that.
Please make a video about Canibus and his stunted growth
Where do you find that clip😁, that was my face watching it.
*Fact is title of Tribes last album was by Phife so they wanted to honor him.
Stunt 1: Gangsta Rap blowup! Stunt 2: Diddy and Biggie blowup. Stunt 3: Phife's health issues/death.
WHEN HE STARTED 2 BEAT BOX I THOUGHT TAMMY LUCAS SINGIN ONCE AGAIN WAS ABOUT 2 DROP
You might as well do NWA next.
PHIFE dog passing away is what really stunted a tribe called quest career. They broke up after that.
Naw son after the 3rd album it was a wrap.
Beats, Rhyme & life & The Love Movement was uninspired.
Phife and QTip hated each other and fought all the time - they broke up long before Phife passed but didn't officially announce it - they made the Love Movement to satisfy a record contract, they weren't speaking to each other, and its why that album has so many guest appearances and unrelaesed tracks - Phife's solo album has so much anger energy because of the way he felt he was treated, you hear it in his voice - I am NOT dissing ATCQ, they my favorite group and legends, just saying, they hated each other - I only watched the documentary by Micheal Rappaport once because there is an awful scene at the end where Phife and Q Tip are screaming at each other....
@@leofranken7225 The scene where theyre arguing before going on stage? I was at the concert where that happened lol
@@oceano87 really? Cool! You know, I watched that documentary many time, but I have not seen it in years, that scene is too hard to watch and it breaks the illusion of being a fan - watching that scene hurts...
@@leofranken7225 Maaan I remember watching that scene and thinking I was THIS close to not seeing my favorite group perform. I got real lucky cuz regardless they put on a great set!
Why did you put the year 1987 on the first video that was like 93-94 the first album came out in 1990? And it’s not albans queens it’s called “St.Albans” smh
And Arsenio wasn't a thing in '87. All cap.
People don’t have to be butthurt because your favorite group is on here
Tribe vs The Wu in a Verzuz would be crazy
Next episode....Michael Jackson! His career could've been so much betta! Drugs, plastic surgery, allegations of molestation, death & Bubbles!....& 4 these reason his growth wuz stunted. ✌🏽😅❤👉🏽🦬💩
Greatest team of all time. Tip messed up trying to push phife to the side. Killed they momentum
LMAOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣 @ adding a disclaimer at the beginning. You knew asking if Tribe’s career was stunted had the potential to create create chaos in the comments. 😭😭😭
Tribes growth wasn’t stunted tf arguably top 5 hip hop group ever and my personal favorite with Wu tang
You gotta do NWA now
I would like to see a stunted growth for The Pharcyde
ultimately the question is, if the group were here in 2022 would they still be as big as their initial peak ? If the answer is yes than they’re growth was stunted.. If no then everything that’s supposed to happen happened . I don’t think tribe would be as big rn it’s a diff time . They not stunted
💯
Do Black Moon please
And boot camp clik
I mean, they had the best album of 2016. By far.
I always thought that Phife is the doper One from ATCQ but i didnt dislike Q-Tip..
Nothin' like the early 90s (90/91) when hip-hop fans had a choice b/w the Quest & N.W.A. (R.I.P. Eazy-E & Phife Dawg)
Now you're just reaching
Top 3. Electric Relaxation THE BEST SONG BY THEM!!!
Do the jungle brothers
Can we get a EPMD!!!
Yes.
A Tribe Called Quest is a Top 10 Hip Hop group they're revered and they had a success during the golden age of Hip Hop as a group
That Phife album is underrated.
Nahh.. It was pretty bad...and not bad meaning good..
Lol nawww … the problem with Phife and even Tip solo albums is … we don’t fuck with them ..
We fuck with ATCQ ..
I don’t wanna hear Tip or Phife … I want them to trade punches like on check the rhyme or Steve Biko or The Jazz..
For example.. the prod is amazing on their first album… but because of the thin Phife input … it’s not considered a 5 star album …
Might as well do Hov next
I left my wallet in El Segundo
Aside from DE LA SOUL, and The Roots what "super rap group" from the Golden Age '90s survived intact? The (unfortunate) changing, profit-driven climate of Hip Hop pushed "solo" artists, and destroyed any spiritual/soul element that had bound our community together. The worst thing that could have happened to Hip Hop was mainstream (corporate) acceptance.
Next do G-Unit next. They definitely had a lot of stunt growths in their career. Especially because of the game and Young Buck
Gunit would be a good one
Huh
I can’t count this as stunted growth
He can make a video of a group that didn't have stunted growth it's no problem..I watch for the history..he always has people who haven't had stunted growth
