Yes, I grew up listening to jazz thanks to my dad. Around early 90s when New york rappers was coming with the jazzy rap glow made me love jazz even more.
@@anthonyinsani9914... I was in the 8th grade when this first came out and i am now just finding out hes saying .... RELAX YOURSELF Please Settle Down........smh 😮😮😮 Wow
I was 15 when this dropped! I skipped my first 3 periods just to stand in line to get the album, I'll never forget that ass whooping but it was worth it.
when you said first 3 periods i thought you meant the shit you women go through, lmao but then i realized you ment the periods in school. lol that would have been dedication!
There is no hip hop group better than Tribe. I met Phife at ATL Airport back in summer of 1996. I had my walkman on me & had the Midnight Marauders cassette in my walkman . He signed the liner notes & told me their next album was about to drop. Which i was already anxiously awaiting. I will never forget that moment
@@lashedandscornedконечно это вкусовщина, но для меня wu tang это хард рэп, в нем меньше спокойствия и расслабления, чего не скажешь про tribe called quest
All the beefing and the nonsense going on at that time in hip-hop, Tribe were just vibing. Every track they made still sounds crisp and fresh to this day. Timeless, some of the best music made in any genre.
Tribe is so criminally underrated. They had that smooth Hip Hop before all the gun bars and dissing, shame it was drowned out by all that noise. This is grass roots Hip Hop. They should be proud to be on the right side of Hip Hop history.
@@FatGirlsSmellLikeBreakfast I think he means before the "gun bars" were prevalent. Yeah, there was gun talk back then, but there were more conscious, light-hearted lyrics before the gangsta-ism took over in the mid-90s.

I'm 16 and from Italy, so I'm from a totally different generation and culture...but this song, wow. I started listening to hip hop and rap a few months ago, and this 90s old school songs are the best! Love the chill and jazzy sound.
This wasn't the 90s.... this was early 2000's..... The Wayans Brothers used this song as their shows intro.... I was in college....I'll never forget the vibe of this time period..... if you wasn't there, you'll never understand....
Q-tip is the only producer that could produce such a sound in jazz especially in the early 90s q-tip is the only producer that can deliver such a sound that just sticks and lasts forever and hip-hop music
@@keithwilliams9217 now if LL COOL J's "pink cookies in a plastic bag" never dropped, i could souly gave it to Tip for that production for give up the goods, but Marley Marl produced it, so the rest is history
The complex, jazzy AF guitar chords, the looping, ambiguous interaction of the bass line and beats... this track is beyond magical. Tip is a MFing genius with the production. Then add Phife's impish charm to it all? These kids opened a portal to a parallel, better universe.
@Sh Hh Hi. I luv many genres of music. Hip hop, rap, electro, punk, pop, rock, jazz, soul, rockabilly, disco, techno. In the hip hop / rap world my faves are Tribe, Public enemy, EPMD, Snoop dog, Cypress Hill, NWA, Eric B & Rakim, Beastie Boys, Stetsasonic. Hip hop is my favourite genre of music. Growing up in Glasgow, Scotland not many people were listening to hip hop in the early 80's. I introduced it to all of my friends. Who are your faves Sh Hh?
The thing that stands out to me about that line is that he didn't say he like em white. My man!!! Peace to Phife Dawg. A legend MC who loved the sisters.
I was going to college. It's 1993. Bought this CD the day it dropped and promptly went back to my dorm. Couple of friends hear me bumping this, and we all sat down for an old-fashioned record party. Good times. Good vibes. I played Tribe way to much but it wasn't enough. I miss their music.
I wish I got to experience this for myself. I'm in college and it's just not the same with music anymore... it's all so stale and unoriginal nowadays. I love 90s hip hop so much.
I was a sophomore in college in 93. I know I go back to the past but it sure does feel good 😊. Living the single life with no dependents. When rap was actually rap and you could understand what the rappers were saying. If I could go back just one more time . 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I never knew who sang this bc I worked in a club and never got to see what was being played. Every time this came on I had to open my office door to listen. I finally just looked up the main line "I like em brown, yellow....".
Especially that last part of the video where u see all the different shots of people in coordination with the chords then the drum pattern then chords again. Look at them beautiful people in the shots. I would trade my people for all the money in the world we too dope I love y'all.
Whats amazing is this song is 30 years old!!!! But you could play it right now and would never know that. Atcq is timeless and will always be relevant.

As a young black South African girl (29 years old), A Tribe Called Quest is a group that has always inspired me. I've never traveled abroad but feel like I have whenever I listen to their music.
@@jebj1 don't be silly. That isn't what anyone is saying by acknowledging that this music is born out of black culture. Though truly, all sub cultures are influenced by the greater culture and other sub cultures. We are all connected. The OP is a true statement and I did not read it as saying this is only for black people. I would hope that awake brothers and sisters in black communities understand it is going to take unity for the species to survive. Music is a key to that survival. It's one thing to be 'othered' it is something else to other yourself.
Hip hop is and always will be art and more than words, it goes threw graffiti, break dancing, Dj'ing and producing, to rapping. I only wish Kanye would come off the bullshit he's been with.
Soul Fu Admit it, though, TLET wouldn't be half the album it is without all that jazz sampling. Not to say Q and Pfife aren't amazing MCs, but hip hop is 70% MC and 30% production. Kanye's not onto bullshit. Yeezus was just a shock album, he'll come back hard on his upcoming album.
Yea i agree. And Kanyes album wasn't a shock it just sucked, and I'm not just talking about yeezus, he's been acting like a God though the only thing legendary is his beats. And he needs to stop hanging with those mainstream niggas rapping about money ain't what he should be doing. I'm not saying Kanye sucks, but come on you know he's on sum bullshit.
Soul Fu I look at this way. You and I are smart. We know a lot about our respective interests. Kanye is a genius. A genius innovates and influences, and that's what Kanye does. In order to maintain the mindset, he's convinced he's a god so he can keep going. But I agree on the guests. Kid Cudi and King L are aight but they have nothing on Kweli or Def.
The female featured in the video is Crystal Blake. She is a well respected photographer in NY and has been in the game for quite some time. Stop with the vitriol and get ya lesson sons! 20+ years later and the video still cranks, and Crystal was and still is dope.
It's weird; I am getting older and I identify times, spaces, and places in my life; things I was doing, ladies I was with, and people who lived and died. The one constant is music. I am open to new shit and I really think music in and of itself is my roots. I play, I listen, I rock out, I chill out. The feelings though, are usually the same, thanks to music like this. It is simultaneously beautiful, real, dirty, sweet. It keeps me on a path. I believe it is a good one.
Music is something yet to be explained by scientists: it doesn’t feed us, it doesn’t hydrate us, but still we need it no less than food or water! Beautiful.
I feel like crying every time i here this song. The beat is so soulful and beautiful. It captures everything the 90s was. R.I.P PHIFE! You will be missed forever
It is because it's been 30 years and we're still listening! Also, Jaydee's MPC is preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC! There's no Dilla without Tribe!!!
I like em brown, yellow, peurto rican or haitian - my name is PHIFE DAWG from the zulu nation! Man...RIP 5 foot to the 5 foot assassin. Heaven gets all the greats.
RIP, PHIFE DAWG. I got a t-shirt w/I like em Brown, Yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian. You should have seen the looks and smiles I got from people reading the shirt. Long live ATCQ!!!!!!!!
They don't make them like this anymore. Everything by Tribe is timeless. There isn't a generation that is not going to appreciate this group. The 90s was such a great time for music in so many different genres.
That’s it @Doughnut Spaghetti. They don’t make music this God any more! And this applies to ALL GENRES. Rock, Hiphop, Rap, R’n’B, electronic/dance… all was good!
You should check out 'Cookin Soul' channel here on YT. He makes boom bap beats the old school way. There are a few artists out there that keep carrying the torch but yeah the old days were so good.
It probably will. Things happen in cycles. People are getting tired of the wack trashy music we have now. It was shocking at first and got people's attention and now even the youth are sick of it. It will turn around. Just like flat butts will come back (I pray. Lol).
it never left you just gotta look outside of what the radio is playing and mainstream is telling you whats hot. So many good artist out there still making good music
I get your point Bass! But what i mean is not only the hip hop music, but the times, the way people get dressed, the mindset, everything. I don’t see it coming from those little gucci gang gucci gang fans.
This was my freshman year of high school, I was a new 14 year old and so in love with this beat. I miss this golden era of Hip Hop, when we African Americans were so raw, so ourselves and so communal. The 90s was real

another SA resident here and SAME!!
Cape town
In 2021 and this song is still timeless!!
Yes sir
it never gets old
True dat.
There isn't "still timeless", or it is or isn't
@@JaMore I never asked for a correction.
Listening to this while they are getting inducted to rock and roll heaven. Well deserved boys changed the culture. "Thank you for your service"
This is legendary Black culture.
Yes and I miss it!!
Yes so much better than the corporate death cult vibe of today.
Oh, so white people can't listen to this ? I grew up listening to music like this. I guess if I can go back in time I'll have to change that.
@@jebj1 don't be silly. That isn't what anyone is saying by acknowledging that this music is born out of black culture. Though truly, all sub cultures are influenced by the greater culture and other sub cultures. We are all connected. The OP is a true statement and I did not read it as saying this is only for black people. I would hope that awake brothers and sisters in black communities understand it is going to take unity for the species to survive. Music is a key to that survival. It's one thing to be 'othered' it is something else to other yourself.
@@jebj1 literally nobody said white people cant listen to it so stfu
I believe Kanye West once said ATCQ was what made him recognize hip hop as not just music, but a form of art. And he's damn right.
Hip hop is and always will be art and more than words, it goes threw graffiti, break dancing, Dj'ing and producing, to rapping. I only wish Kanye would come off the bullshit he's been with.
Soul Fu Admit it, though, TLET wouldn't be half the album it is without all that jazz sampling. Not to say Q and Pfife aren't amazing MCs, but hip hop is 70% MC and 30% production.
Kanye's not onto bullshit. Yeezus was just a shock album, he'll come back hard on his upcoming album.
Yea i agree. And Kanyes album wasn't a shock it just sucked, and I'm not just talking about yeezus, he's been acting like a God though the only thing legendary is his beats. And he needs to stop hanging with those mainstream niggas rapping about money ain't what he should be doing. I'm not saying Kanye sucks, but come on you know he's on sum bullshit.
Soul Fu I look at this way. You and I are smart. We know a lot about our respective interests. Kanye is a genius. A genius innovates and influences, and that's what Kanye does. In order to maintain the mindset, he's convinced he's a god so he can keep going.
But I agree on the guests. Kid Cudi and King L are aight but they have nothing on Kweli or Def.
Like to fulfill his ego. And hands down mos and kweli are greats
Soooo beautiful.... Notice the power and potency of the lyrics with absolutely no nakedness to be seen in the video? Man.... Can we go back to this???
This was black creativity! Beautiful art before the white jew high jacked our culture in the name of mass profits
So happy for da Hall of Fame for y'all. Deserved....I "relate" !
This track is so therapeutic. What a time to be alive.
That beat is so relaxing
エンジEngi, Its a jazz cut sample.
It’s in the title of the song
Lmao right!! My eyelids always start to get heavy when I listen to this.
Mystic Brew look up Blue Jazz Note Recordings
Yes it is. I listen to it to destress after work.
The female featured in the video is Crystal Blake. She is a well respected photographer in NY and has been in the game for quite some time. Stop with the vitriol and get ya lesson sons! 20+ years later and the video still cranks, and Crystal was and still is dope.
Gregory Johnson now that's some trivia!
thank you bro, i was obsessing over this woman in the video
@@danielfernandez4133 same here but now i am disappointed that i am not the only creep in this world :)
History & Scholarship. Thank You
Super props for putting everyone on that.
The Original Wayans Bro's TV Show Anthem!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Give me a high 5 🤣🖐🏽
The Wayans for demanding this song for the show. Remember the TV industry didn't want this song for the show, but...
I love this
The original wack bro‘s anthem !
It's weird; I am getting older and I identify times, spaces, and places in my life; things I was doing, ladies I was with, and people who lived and died. The one constant is music. I am open to new shit and I really think music in and of itself is my roots. I play, I listen, I rock out, I chill out. The feelings though, are usually the same, thanks to music like this. It is simultaneously beautiful, real, dirty, sweet. It keeps me on a path. I believe it is a good one.
Beautifully written! 👍👍
Music is something yet to be explained by scientists: it doesn’t feed us, it doesn’t hydrate us, but still we need it no less than food or water! Beautiful.
Relatable 100%
All of this. (Wistful sigh)
Music is timeless
I feel like crying every time i here this song. The beat is so soulful and beautiful. It captures everything the 90s was. R.I.P PHIFE! You will be missed forever
"Captures everything the 90's was" That's a great way to put it.
Q tip is a genius..he really made this song like an original composition... And its a loop.
This song and video has to be preserved as one of the most beautiful pieces of ART ever.
It is because it's been 30 years and we're still listening! Also, Jaydee's MPC is preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC! There's no Dilla without Tribe!!!
This beat is so smooth R. I. P Philfe
Smooth but raw when you have bass lol
dominic hocutt look up BADBADNOTGOOD electric relaxation
I like em brown, yellow, peurto rican or haitian - my name is PHIFE DAWG from the zulu nation! Man...RIP 5 foot to the 5 foot assassin. Heaven gets all the greats.
It's just "Five-Foot Assassin," no inches lol, RIP one of the GOATs
The Five Footer...R.I.P. Phife Miss You Bruh!!” Never Forgotten though Word Life!!”
RIP, PHIFE DAWG. I got a t-shirt w/I like em Brown, Yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian. You should have seen the looks and smiles I got from people reading the shirt. Long live ATCQ!!!!!!!!
matt murdock - I want one! Where'd u get it?!
This has got to be the most mellow Hip-Hop song of all time. 😌🎶
Rest Easy Phife 🙏🏾
Possibly one of the most underrated Hip Hop groups of all time. If you know ATCQ, you know REAL Hip Hop
The chillest flow of the game
They don't make them like this anymore. Everything by Tribe is timeless. There isn't a generation that is not going to appreciate this group. The 90s was such a great time for music in so many different genres.
That’s it @Doughnut Spaghetti. They don’t make music this God any more! And this applies to ALL GENRES. Rock, Hiphop, Rap, R’n’B, electronic/dance… all was good!
You should check out 'Cookin Soul' channel here on YT. He makes boom bap beats the old school way. There are a few artists out there that keep carrying the torch but yeah the old days were so good.
@@Reeceline I'll check that out.
This why I love being young in the 90's
I’m a full blown metal head but love this group. Tribe and souls of mischief are the shit.
Vin_90 full grown hip hop head but loves me a bit of suicidal and anthrax ktf
Vin_90
Yes they are.
Also fundamentally rock and metal influenced, but love me some good quality hip-hop!
Same here, absolutely dig this track, ATCQ and old school hip hop in general.
I’m a punk rocker jamming this shit all day. Tribe, Soul, Rakim & Eric B, Pharcyde, Arrested Development, Souls of Mischief
I’m 24yrs old and I discovered this song a while back and I must say that music was so good back then 😢
Love the jazzy feel that tribe has in their music!
YES!
Hell yea. Easy listening.
brilliance.
I second that
We Got Tha Jazz 😍😍
I DONT CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS TRIBE CALLED QUEST WAS THE FIRST TO RAP OVER JAZZ BEATS....Q TIP WAS A GENIUS WHEN HE DID THAT AND HE GETS NO CREDIT
Knoxxgrim it's fat ass thighs this the clean version
Knoxxgrim actually Eric B and Rakim were but I feel you.
ok yea..... sweat the technique you right but it seems like q tip took it a little farther ....but you right
when I mean farther I mean the sound....
+Knoxxgrim yup n Pete rock took it even further. he perfected it imo
The fact that this won’t come back hurts man
It probably will. Things happen in cycles. People are getting tired of the wack trashy music we have now. It was shocking at first and got people's attention and now even the youth are sick of it. It will turn around. Just like flat butts will come back (I pray. Lol).
it never left you just gotta look outside of what the radio is playing and mainstream is telling you whats hot. So many good artist out there still making good music
I get your point Bass! But what i mean is not only the hip hop music, but the times, the way people get dressed, the mindset, everything. I don’t see it coming from those little gucci gang gucci gang fans.
I’m from belgium and born in 1999, even i can not say i ever met those awesome days but somehow i can feel it 🧐 just listen to this wtf
Bradley92 there’s hope, some great new artists out there, it’s just the radio is trash and plays that mainstream mumble crap
This is damn near the theme song for that entire era. 🙌🔥
It is though. I know. I lived it. I was absolutely awesome.
RIP phife ,Pops from Wayans brothers this reminisce about you both when hear this song
Rap in the 90's was amazing!
One of the greatest hip hop songs of all times. If not the greatest. Period.
This guys deserves to be in Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
No doubt
They are now in 2024. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉
@@dee24874 great news
This was my freshman year of high school, I was a new 14 year old and so in love with this beat. I miss this golden era of Hip Hop, when we African Americans were so raw, so ourselves and so communal. The 90s was real
It's a shame what social media has done to our culture
In my opinion, this is the greatest hip hop record ever. I've loved from the day it came out. Art. Of the highest order.
Can everyone just take a moment to aprechiate the cuts/fades in the video. They go so well to the beat
Especially at the end 🙌🏼
One of the Best songs Ever Period!
