A Tribe Called Quest Edit Meaning

1.

The greatest hip hop group to ever walk this Earth. Composed of mildly famous rappers Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, along with Ali Shaheed (Who makes their beats), they held a virtual monopoly on their genre of hip hop during the Early/mid 1990's. Their best work can be found in the tracks "Award Tour", "Bonita Applebum", "Electric Relaxation", "Da Booty", "Check the rhime" (No, I did not mispell that), "Can I kick it?" and "Find a way".

However, the group is now disbanded, with no knowledge of what the future may hold for this exceptional tandem.

Any modern day hip hop fan, black, white, asian or hispanic, would call you "gay" for listening to A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul, simply because the two groups don't rap about drugs, whores and violence.

2.

A fantastic hip-hop group formed in the late 80's-early 90's by now successful solo artist Q-Tip. They had a unique blend of jazz, rock, and alternative hip-hop that was not rivaled by many other groups. They have now disbanded, but their classic album "The Low End Theory" will live on as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever recorded.

"Back in the days when I was a teenager,

Before I had status and before I had a pager,

You could find the abstract, listening to hip-hop,

My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop,

I said 'Well, daddy, don't you know that things go in cycles,

Way that Bobby Brown is just ampin' like

Michael,

It's all expected, things are for the lookin',

If you got the money, Quest is for the bookin''"

-"Excursions" A Tribe Called Quest

3.

Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. One of - if not the best - hip-hop groups to ever exist. Pioneers of the D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Sound Y'all) genre of hip-hop along with De La Soul. Also a part of the Native Tongues Posse. They forged the gratest hip-hop album of all time (IMO): "The Low End Theory"

"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? Ummmm

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"

- Check the Rhime ("The Low End Theory" - A Tribe Called Quest, 1991)

4.

A Tribe Called Quest is an amazing Hip hop group, arguably the best. Anyone who disses them is one ignorant moron who obviously doesn't know anything about hip hop

-A Tribe Called Quest Is GAY!!!

- You are an ignorant idiot. Jump off a bridge, you won't be missed

5.

A rap group with lots of talent and intelligence.

It is almost guaranteed that if you let someone who only listens to rock music listen to them, they will like it because of their beats and lyrics. This is because rap nowadays is not as meaningful as it was during Quest's time.

I like a Tribe Called Quest, but not Yung Joc.

I'm sure you will too if you have a shred of intelligence
