Jazz Rap is just unmatched. Good music never dies this shit will always be fire
That high hat is the FUNK .
Bet you cream over The Roots
Excuse me sir, this is 90s Hip-Hop, not "Jazz Rap".
@@magicpotionstudios9519 you dont lie?
@@magicpotionstudios9519 ATCQ is known for their jazz elements in their songs. So it is Jazz Rap.
Q-tip has to have the smoothest, cleanest flow in hip hop history.
His accent and voice tone is unrivaled. One of my favorite rappers for sure!
Him and GURU are my top. Miss this sound
i love he voice
Don't forget about C.L Smooth. Yea Q Tip and Guru for sure. Jazz influenced rappers
Facts!
When everyone does their jobs in a group project:
Lmao
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Well put
Yes! Good one
What?
Man... if these young men only knew the timeless classics they were writing. So much respect to Tribe, thank you for all your music.
They did I'm quite sure,but like many of us.We don't see the future let alone the longevity of our accomplishments.
Raw talent! They wrote all of it themselves! True artist!
I think art becomes timeless when the ultimate goal is to truly make people see and feel your passion. It's a sincere conversation. The business that supports such art is driven by people who understand your vision and market/sell it to reflect that vision, trusting the art will do the rest.
Oh they knew "we put hip-hop on a brand-new twist"
don't forget peace to all the hieroglyphics crew
I'm one of them older dudes that love reading these comments from people discovering The Tribe for the first time 😌 I'm excited for y'all 👊🏽
I'm 20 but I been bumpin tribe since I was 14, thanks to youtube and later spotify, like they said.... they just have fun with it and that's why the tribe will forever be timeless
Me too Rob Brown
Im fourteen now lol but i have been listening to tribe since i was younger just because i was born in 2004 and should be listening to like 21 savage doesn't mean that i do i love this type of music more than any of the fools nowadays not to mention i love jazz
ayy das me
Saloot....
50 year old metal dude, but believe me this cd is in my rotation, this is as good as it gets.
Yes indeed
Metal head here. Love this band
@@dugp1862 lol band they are a rap group but i get what you saying. Legends in Hip Hop.
@@samnur6957 Yes they are group....but they do have a backing band - guitar, bass, drums, dj, horn section etc. Especially on tour. That to me qualifies as a band. I hear you though
have you heard deltron 3030? This is another timeless classic Id def recommend
This sounds so fresh even in 2024 its crazy
Classic music
No doubt ... real hop hip
It’s amazing
1991! Sounds fresh and crisp today in April 2024. Tribe are timeless. Also all the beefing and nonsense in hip-hop over the years and Tribe were just vibing and making music that anyone can chill to. One of the best acts in modern musical history, all genres, no question.
I swear to god,jazz rap is the best music type for chillin time
This is hip hop. Not jazz.
But your right, still an amazing song to chill to.
Oh wait I just realized you said jazz rap, not genre but still get what you mean.
@@prodbyodin jazz rap is a subgenre of hip hop, one of my favourites.
if you like this check out nujabes
I listen to this while doing homework or bmx
Yea u right :)
This shit actually changed my life
In 1991?
Care to elaborate?
Some of the comments don’t get it but I get it dude. I swear to god I get it
i simultaneously have no idea what you mean and also know exactly what you mean. like, i 100% agree with you, same, it did change my life, but i don’t know why
Same with me brother
I'm 48, I remember when this dropped like it was yesterday! We got the Jazz.
I remember when this music video first came out this was one of the most creative things in the world to me at the time. The transition from one song to the next, the segue in between, Tip & Phife taking turns, the switching from black & white to color, the bugged out eyes, the acapella cypher at the end. This song & video was & still it so representative of this Hip-Hop culture that we all know and love. R.I.P. Phife Dawg and long live Hip-Hop
Long live old school hip-hop.
I wish I could go back if only for a day.
Yeah. REAL Hip Hop!
that sounds so dope
RIP to the 5 foot assassin. His verse on Buggin Out is still and forever be one of my favorite hip hop verses of all time
Same here
rip from the uk
+tristan maze big part of my life...

"I float like gravity"
Yeah he... Killed... It...
buggin out was me and my best friends favorite song before he passed away this october due to a motorized vehicle collision. now I can't listen to this song without getting unnecessarily depressed... still a great song regardless. love you jonah thanks for all the good memories.
Sorry for your lost❤️
not unnecessarily
@Jonah Schmittler how?
@Jonah Schmittler wow 🤯 that's crazy
R.i.p jonah🙏🏽 just know every time u listen to this song, jonah is bobbing his head with u in heaven
The Low End Theory is the best project ever made!
In the discussion......👍
Debatable
@@noaharkadedelgado2318 Please debate it then.
@@tytaanis it’s top 30
@@noaharkadedelgado2318 top 10 at least, bro
It's unbelievable that it's been 30 years since this was released
There were kids born then that got kids, you’re welcome lol
….and still sounds fresh today!
I know right ... I was a freshman in HS ... good times
Artists who made quality music, don't have to worry about the vibe dying out.
It's timeless ✌️
Agreed.

Amen
Yeah check out this massive old school type jazzy beats: ruclips.net/video/nEx9hl6BSd4/видео.html

RIP Phife. One of my favorites...
During the Era of gangsta rap, the social consciousness and pure artistry of a tribe called quest was unmatched brilliance!!!
Correct
Can't lie, one of my favorite groups of all time nothing but hits, RIP Phifer🇹🇹
A tribe called quest are in a league of their own.
Right? Nothing and nobody compares to them. So unique and awesome.
+Zane Dietlin Digable Planets
+Zane Dietlin slum village?
+Stun Gun Stunna De La Soul, Outkast, Pharcyde
The clang on that snare is incredible.
Ali was an incredible DJ at the time
Tips snares are some of the best in hip hop in my opinion
Tip stole this beat from Pete Rock
Wait wait wait, Ali is the DJ and sampling can never be called copying
+Mail Mann q tip produced most of their stuff I thought.
A Tribe Called Quest is just dope.. Even though it is 2022 this still sounds great!
Great music gets better as time goes by.
atcq will always sound good, ages so well with time
STRAIGHT PUMPING THIS HARD IN MY DRIVE WAY RIGHT NOW, NEIGHBORS ARE TIGHT!! 😭😡😡😭
2023 homie, still lovin it!
It’ll be 2080 and it’ll still sound great
Q-Tip’s verse on this song is so brilliant and it’s one of my favorites of all time.
I didn’t understand really when it came out, but I loved the flow and q tip voice. Back then we didn’t have the internet to look up lyrics. Now 30 years later I checked the lyrics and definitely blown away. His first verse is on another level.
Just saw a documentary about them and decided to look up some of their stuff, one of the best decisions I ever made.
early 1990's and so much was going on at the time...riots in LA, and War in Iraq and Arsenio had a show!
Ari Ed what was the documentary?
Ratta Touillie
Its named after there 4th album
I to just saw the documentary and it brought me here. I was so glad that like other artist drugs and alcohol did them in, these guys were the sh*t back in the day
Sandra Young
They're unique that's why they're enjoyable to listen to
I sport new balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path. Very clever line.
R.I.P. PHIFE DOG
please explain does he just mean he doesn't have pedestrian taste in foot wear?
@@anthonywragg2393 New Balance sneakers are notoriously wide-soled. He blazes a trail through life with his wide-ass sneakers.
@@spin_soul yes still doesn't make any sense are people trying to walk a narrow path like off the beaten track hmm
anthony wragg a narrow path means it’s unopened to different and/or wide routes, thus he wears new balance sneakers figuratively as an indication of how open he is to new things/directions in life rather than being boxed into a simple mould of who he’s supposed to be.
thank your for this comment
That switch to Buggin Out gets me every time….greatness ❤️🖤💚
its so fucking fun to sing along to
Me too this is a great remix 🥰
Imagine if we could have had an album version like this. Buggin out just hits so hard when it drops, love it.
3:31 is what you're here for. My number one choice for most iconic moment in 90's hiphop.
Just saw for the first time, had no idea it was coming despite the thumbnail haha, amazing.
Microphone check one two what is this? The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business... that's the best part
"Stern, firm, and young with the laid back tongue, the aim is to succeed and achieve at 21."
I wake up in the morning and say that to myself before I start my day.
@@BrainrotEntertainment Indeed. Speak it into existence.
Best lyrics written on foreign paper ever, change my mind
@@gagemeek5073 Probably on the money there, although I think "My Melody" by Rakim might be unparalleled. "The melody that I'm stylin'/Smooth as a violin/Rough enough to break New York from Long Island," is still the best rap lyric I have ever heard.
I had that line going round and round in my head for a few days. Poetry.
From one of the greatest albums of the 1990s.
+Em Jay Enn indeed
+Gabriel Jorge that's straight up!
+Em Jay Enn greatest ever
+Em Jay Enn RIP PHIFE
EASILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poetry. This is art!. I'm not a rap fan but there's no words to describe my love and respect for this music.

welcome to the 90s
welcome to real hip-hop*
Most underrated hip hop group of all time
R.I.P. PHIFE DOG........
Goddamn, that transition to Buggin' Out.
I like when it ends with just Tip rapping with no music. Great vid.
Arm Rest yup I always that the switch up was one of the dopest for a video and so damn on time. A great surprise the first time you watch this video
Arm Rest yes! Till this day it still gives me chills!
REST IN PEACE PHIEF DAWG 😔 all love from new york 💯❤️
Of course

It's Phife man misspelled playa
Doesn’t get better than this era of hip-hop. “ayy yo but wait…back it up, easy back it up please let the abstract embellish on the cut”. Prophetic shit. ❤️🎶🤤
The rap music of the 90’s is iconic. Talent and intellect was crazzzzy!!
I love how hooks were so rare back then, nowadays lots of rappers are lazy and can’t go 3 minutes without saying the same thing over and over again, dudes like ATCQ, mob deep, wu- tang, sons of Sam and others could write songs that could last up to 6 minutes and you would never hear the same things being repeated, back then true creativity flowed. Shout out to our late phife Dawg!
It's called a chorus. they're used to induce "catchiness". Not display lyrical skill.
You're right. We don't hear that unique songwriting anymore in rap music. I miss that. Almost everyone sounds the same. No creativity nowadays. Love A Tribe Called Quest. One of the great rap acts that ever lived. RIP to Phife Dawg.
@@pansysgarden uhh, you heard of Tyler, the Creator?
@y would u even sub ? A hook and a chorus are basically the *exact same* thing. Here's the official definition:
A hook is a musical idea, often a short riff, passage, or phrase, that is used in popular music to make a song appealing and to "catch the ear of the listener". The term generally applies to popular music, especially rock, R&B, hip hop, dance, and pop. In these genres, the hook is often found in, or consists of, the *chorus.* A hook can be either melodic or rhythmic, and often incorporates the main motif for a piece of music.
y would u even sub ? Sure have, he’s dope also earl sweatshirt
No chains, no women ... pure street poetry... just bliss...
So low-key that ya probably missed it...

Stop being corny
Nothing wrong with having women in videos. There are a lot of 90's Hip-Hop videos with women & the song is still a classic & well as the video.
what's wrong with women? you sexist or somethin bro?
The melancholia embedded in the sample mixed up with the heavy drums and the out-of-this-world lyrics, still gets me: 32 years later. True hip-hop will never age.
Buggin out might be one of the best songs of all time… the beat, lyrics , vibe are unmatched
If you listen to this in 2021, you have great taste 🔥
Yessir
present!
Why thank you. :)
:^)
Yessir
The way Phife, starts his verse Is legendary! A TRIBE CALLED QUEST FOREVER!!!
4:27 thats what hip hop is about
Decades later and still listening to this on repeat. TCQ created timeless art
Its 1991 and i refuse to come back
he said Wack..
That's the year I was born 1991 #YoMtvRaps
HAHAHA! I'm with you!
its I refuse to come wack/ but I get you cuz
Fuck i was only 1 and i just discovered it now :o
Born 1990 so mad that I was around for this Era but was too young to appreciate what it was.
My favorite rap group growing up heading to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! Congratulations!!!
Hip Hop & Jazz = Classic Material
@Steven Heng Who's that
The last part is so real... These guys were legit
Minute?
+Max Islas 4:30
I know right , that transition was so dope
Their creativity is remarkable
These guys are so dope I get high just by listening to their music...
That Phife verse when the beat switches is pure fire 🔥🔥🔥
they made a tshirt of all the lyrics from neck to waist . i loved this vid/
That is their song Buggin’ Out, if that’s what you mean
One of the Dopest breakdowns ever in Hip Hop,Shit goes hard.
Phife’s verse is one of my favourite verses of all time, so so good
R.I.P phife! What u did 4 hip-hop will never be forgotten. May u continue 2 live on through my stereo speakers
+Jeff Rayborn competition them haffa come sideways, competition them must come straight way, competition dem haffa come sideways...✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Rest in peace, funky diabetic.. We're missing you Phife..
Man, I always wanted to see Buggin' Out get a full music video. What they got was filled with such energy.
ahh, when hip hop was fueled by poets and not billionaires
Poetry. A Tribe Called Quest - Poetry. They were massively overrated and their lyrics were actually rather shit
+hakc97again What fucking planet are you from!?
BushiBato A planet called 'actually read the fucking lyrics'
+BushiBato He's right you know. While A Tribe Called Quest and other 90s rap groups' songs were a bit more complex lyrically than some examples from today, they still had as little meaning as present groups.
+bronlokis "I'm countin' money. I'm swervin' in my brand new benz, aye, I say I'm swervin' in my brand new benz"-Fetty Wap
RIP Phife!! Thank you!
+mattwilliams5 Best way to put it. Adding many thanks to Phife for this music.
I’m 14 and ATCQ was visionary for its time
A decade later, generation Z approves!
It's 1991 and he refuse to come wack ... now we close to 2017 and no rapper seems to come legit as you Phifer ... RIP LEGEND ... 🙏🙏🙏
I think it's come back not come wack...
listen to terror reid hes new and pretty nice ^^
but well sure not as good as a tribe called quest
Phiph is a very important raper. And ron carter, one of the best double bass player
This album is a master piece. Rip
“I miss the old days when music was ingenious, pure and original” , hip hop still has artists who produce music that is still dope. The only thing that has changed is the mainstream wave
But now you gotta find the art instead of it coming to you.
@@uberlephrad8218 which makes it more gratifying, a treasure isn't one unless it was sought out
I appreciate your understanding, maybe one day I'll be in your rotation.
@@uberlephrad8218 I like a challenge. But for starters pack.... Joey Badass, Pro Era, Logic, Common, Kanye West
Vanilla Ice had the best selling rap album the year this was released
On a huge ATCQ kick, its nuts they had more flows in one song then some new rappers have in their career
This is real rap, talking about real things. an real artwork. Rest in peace phife dawg
I'm the whitest guy on the planet, I know almost nothing about this sort of music... but holy shit... these guys are frinking awesome. I've never heard hip hop as smooth, sublime, and with such musicality as A Tribe Called Quest. This is timeless stuff, everything they do sounds as fresh now as it must have sounded when it was new. You can listen and know that it will still be being played a hundred years from now, two hundred years from now, and more, as an example of the best music the 20th century had to offer.
Yeah, man I must've played this tape a million times back in the day. It was the best full album I had heard and so different with the music they used. Everyone was sampling James Brown and/or Parliament. They were one of the first to really use deep jazz tracks and it gave them a completely different sound than everyone else out at the time and pretty much since.
Buffoon1980 Can never limit your just because you are part of a certain group (white), everyone is the same in mind, only variable is the enviroment and culture
The tranquility will make you unball your fist
I don't feel like there's any racial segregation (don't know if that term works really) in Tribe's music - it's for everyone.
Buffoon1980 you dont have to be black to like this!
Songs that make you Bob your head without even noticing.
+TheWholeWorldChannel man i was bopping my head when i read your comment, and then i noticed that i wasn't noticing.
Yeah man they were all spitting bars and flowing real nice
yup!
Because the FUNK! The Drums And Jazz
Either bobbing your head or rocking.
This was posted 8 years ago?! I grew up on this - 1991. I love A Tribe Called Quest. Coming from a Puerto Rican born and raised in Detroit! This was the glory age of hip hop!
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
Stern firm and young with a laid-back tongue
The aim is to succeed and achieve at 21
Just like Ringling Brothers, I'll daze and astound
Captivate the mass, cause the prose was profound
Do it for the strong, we do it for the meek
Boom it in your boom it in your boom it in your Jeep
Or your Honda, or your Bimmer, or your Legend, or your Benz
The rave of the town to your foes and your friends
So push it, along, trails, we blaze
Don't deserve the gong, don't deserve the praise
The tranquility will make you unball your fist
For we put Hip Hop on a brand new twist
A brand new twist with a whole heap of mystic
So low-key that you probably missed it
And yet it's so loud that it stands in the crowd
When the guy takes the beat, they bowed
So raise up squire, adjust your attire
We have no time to wallow in the mire
If you're on a foreign path, then let me do the lead
Join in the essence of the cool-out breed
Then cool out to the music cause it makes you feel serene
With the birds and the bees and all those groovy things
Like getting stomach aches when you gotta go to work
Or staring into space when you're feeling berserk
I don't really mind if it's over your head
Cause the job of resurrectors is to wake up the dead
So pay attention, it's not hard to decipher
And after the horns, you can check out the Phifer
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
We got the jazz, we got the jazz
Competition dem try fe come side way
But competition they must come straight way
Competition dem try fe come side way
But competition they must come straight way
How's about that, it seems like it's my turn again
All through the years my mic has been my best friend
I know some brothers wonder, can Phife really kick it?
Some even wanna dis me, but why sweat it?
I'm all into my music cos it's how I make papes
Try to make hits, like Kid Capri makes tapes
Me sweat another? I do my own thing
Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing
I grew up as a Christian so to Jah I give thanks
Collect my banks, listen to Shabba Ranks
I sing, and chat, I do all of that
It's 1991 and I refuse to come wack
I take off my hat to other crews that tend to rock
But the Low End Theory's here, it's time to wreck shop
I got Tip and Shah, so whom shall I fear
Stop look and listen, but please don't stare
So jet to the store, and buy the LP
On Jive/RCA, cassettes and CD's
Produced and arranged by the four-man crew
And oh shit, Skeff Anselm, he gets props too
Make sure you have a system with some fat house speakers
So the new shit can rock, from Bronx to Massapequa
Cause where I come from quality is job one
And everybody up on Linden know we get the job done
So peace to that crew, and peace to this crew
Bring on the tour, we'll see you at a theatre nearest you
Hey yo but wait, back it up, hup, easy back it up
Please let the Abstract embellish on the cut
Back and forth just like a Cameo song
If you dig this joint then please come dance along
To the music cause it's done just for the rhyme
Now I gotta scat and get mine, underline
The jazz, the what? The jazz can move that ass
Cause the Tribe originates that feeling of pizazz
It's the universal sound, bless the brothers on the ground
And the ones six below, you didn't have to go
Some say that I'm eccentric cause I once had an orgy
And sometimes for breakfast I eat grits and porgies
If this is a stinker, then call me a skunk, I ask
("What's, wrong?") Now check it out
Yo, microphone check one two what is this
The five foot assassin' with the ruff neck business
I float like gravity, never had a cavity
Got more rhymes than Winans got family
No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame
No shame in my game 'cause I'll always be the same
Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
You wanna diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half
I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
Messin' round with this you catch the sizin' of 'em
I never half step 'cause I'm not a half stepper
Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper
Refuse to compete with BS competition
Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you Suckle With the Mission
I never walk the streets, think it's all about me
Even though deep in my heart, it really could be
I just try my best to like go all out
Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out
Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation
Minds get flooded, ejaculation right on the two inch tape
The Abstract poet incognito, see I run the cape, not the best not the worse
thanks Brendan
We will probably never see another hip hop collective as sharply intelligent and musically innovative as ATCQ. They set the bar that high.
#RIPPHIFE
#NATIVETONGUES
Orion Bualia De La Soul is excellent too, ATCQ is so damn creative and amazing
Thanks Fam
If you changed the wording to "groups" then yeah, I totally agree. The landscape of rap has changed so much that rap groups aren't nearly as relevant as they once were. However, we have Black Hippy, Odd Future and Pro Era all being relevant collectives in the modern era. Hell, the Dungeon Family was established shortly after Jazz was released and even if they don't collaborate too often, it just goes to show the scene shifts so much that something new and exciting is always around the corner, you just have to be on the look for it.

I take off my hat to other crews that tend to rock
But the Low End Theory's here, it's time to wreck shop
I got Tip and Shah, so whom shall I fear
Stop look and listen, but please don't stare
So jet to the store, and buy the LP
On Jive/RCA, cassettes and CD's
Produced and arranged by the four-man crew
And oh shit, Skeff Anselm, he gets props too
Make sure you have a system with some fat house speakers
So the new shit can rock, from Bronx to Massapequa
Cause where I come from quality is job one
And everybody up on Linden know we get the job done
So peace to that crew, and peace to this crew
Bring on the tour, we'll see you at a theatre nearest you
Hey yo but wait, back it up, hup, easy back it up
Please let the Abstract embellish on the cut
Back and forth just like a Cameo song
If you dig this joint then please come dance along
To the music cause it's done just for the rhyme
Now I gotta scat and get mine, underline
The jazz, the what? The jazz can move that ass
Cause the Tribe originates that feeling of pizazz
It's the universal sound, bless the brothers on the ground
And the ones six below, you didn't have to go
Some say that I'm eccentric cause I once had an orgy
And sometimes for breakfast I eat grits and porgies
If this is a stinker, then call me a skunk, I ask
("What's, wrong?") Now check it out
All my peoples in Queens ya don't stop
Now all my peoples in Brooklyn ya don't stop
And all my peoples uptown ya don't stop
That includes the Bronx and Harlem ya don't stop
Now to that girl Ramelle ya don't stop
I said because Ladies First ya don't stop
And to the JB's, ya don't stop
And De La Soul, ya don't stop
To my Brand Nubians ya don't stop
And to my Leaders of the New ya don't stop
To my man Large Professor ya don't stop
Pete Rock for the beat ya don't stop
Everybody in the place ya don't stop
You keep it on, to the rhythm, ya don't stop
And last but not least on the sure shot
It's the ZULU NATION
Thank you for taking the time, much appreciated! Shalawam

Why is this style of hip-hop not more represented in contemporary rap culture? You guys are the GOAT
Phife murdered this
This rolls off the tongue so silky, gives me goosebumps every time. Rest in Power Phife thank you for supply us with all the funk, rhymes and everything else. Outlast and Tribe>>>>>>>
Outkast*
Outkast is the shit
Uber montity Oh I much prefer Tribe.
I GET THOSE GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME
Second time I'm listening to it and I got goosebumps
''So pay attention, it's not hard to decipher
And after the horns, you can check out the Phifer''
Man, Tip and Phife were on another level. 💯
Welcome to the Rock n Roll hall of fame!!!!long over due!!!
Phife might have passed but he lives on through his phenomenal lyrics rhyming over smooth beats.
Q-tips' flow on this is 🔥
Ahmed Suliman its always insane
Man, Phife is my ALL-TIME favorite Rapper… So underrated and under the radar but he schools most other rappers in so many ways. Every time I hear him Iget echoed up knowing he's gone. Just a beautiful man with supreme talent and it sucks I'll never get to hear his voice on anything new.
May my GOAT RIP.
Phife's flow and verses are unbelievable.
