I don’t think people talk about this enough. When it comes to Nas and Illmatic people quickly point out how Nas was only a teenager when he recorded. But all the member of Tribe called Quest was only 22-23 by the time they dropped Midnight Marauders and it was already their third classic. Having 3 back to back to back Iconic classic albums by only 22-23 is just as insane

@@gemini4lyfe3001 Exactly! So sick of all the who is the best all the top 5 talk its all bullsh t they are all number one in their own way. for example: Busta is dope as f ck!!! Black Thought is dope as f ck!!!! but black thought could never do what busta can do and busta could never do what black thought can do. but they are equally dope!!! number 1 and number 1 aint no "best" just "favorites"
LET and PITATPOR are tied for first. MM is an undeniable 3rd and was a major disappointment when it dropped. Understandable after how ground breaking the first two were, and unique from each other. MM was just more of the same, but not a new sound
Besides the track being an absolute classic, I love how the video captures this neighbour's vibe of the time. The kids and grandpas rocking it, the black muslims, the delis.. it's like a little 3:54 minutes long time capsule.
Kevs Stream you know it brother! 2 of the best groups to ever do it. I'm from Atlanta so Outkast is my personal favorite but classic east coast rap is the cream of the crop...to me the South will never get the respect it deserves because how watered down it has become but there's been some lyrical assassins in the South
Nas wore a Devils jersey in the “The World Is Yours” video. The white home jersey. Also, a Devils hat is worn in Gangstarr’s “Code Of the Streets” video. There might be more examples but these are all I can think of at the moment.
Ahh i remember watching this repeatedly with my boyfriend when I was 13! Q-Tip quickly became one of my favourite emcees and remains so to this day. The way he effortlessly flows over these jazzy rhythms just hooked me from the first listen.
It now hit me that the flow snd concept of Busta standing on an elevated platform singing the hook. This was the same concept that was applied to Puffy and Biggie Song
Gotta love these black people. They survivors. After all they've been through and continue to go through on planet earth, they are still happy, still gifting the world with culture. If only we had more self believe. We shall overcome. RIP Phife
RIP Phife! We lost a LEGEND!
I love how the community is involved. Real bars and positivity. RIP Phife 🙏🏽🕊🕊

No one's even talking about how elite this beat is, such a funky groove
tribe called quest understood the value of production 20 years before everyone else.
THIS BEAT IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude we know trust me we know
kool & the gang...🎸
they like audio tune nowadays lol
Q-Tip is so jazzy and funky, his voice is so unique. I always loved that about him. I’ll always recognize his voice whenever I hear it on a track.
Q-Tip vocal style smooth as velvet 😎🎤
i know all busta says is oh my god but you can hear and feel the passion
Busta's always been bigger than life!
black lionsfan2006 lol
favorite part of the song
straight busta
You can see it too.....lol

It's one line, but somehow throwing Busta into this song really completed it.
I like how Q introduced Phife.
Listen to how he ends his first verse then Phife jumps on it so smoothly.
Never heard such a funky diabetic
Busta's role in this is incredible
Busta was so crazy back in the days.

Well, this was before he was flashing his massive gums in a fisheye lens talking about how serious and delirious he is.
unnamed715 i like flip mode busta better. 90s busta is tge ultimate hype man lol.

Too many samples kill the profits. These rappers are making money for the publishers and owners of these songs.

Busta has mellowed out so much since then. I've forgotten how extra he was. Classic busta
Busta is never mellow, he still has that energy
(finger guns)
Lol true
I wonder how much Busta made for saying "Oh my god, yes, oh my god!"
Tribe for life.
They only took the "Oh my God" sample from their Scenario song.
Well Busta is their good friend and frequent colaborator so idk if he made any money
On the arm I bet they are down
No matter how.much he made , it's not enough...
Kind of like timberland in to late to apologize remix..lol
Q-Tip had the smoothest voice in hip hop back in the early 90's
Atleast I thought so
Also Smooth B from Nice and Smooth
@@anthonytruman and Rakim
He did
And CL Smooth 👏🏾👏🏾

this music is timeless. No one will ever come close to Tribe Called Quest. Best hip hop group of all time.
Wu tang would like to have a word as well 🙏🏾
@@javonestephens7856 Id say its a 5 way tie. The Roots, Outkast, ATCQ, Wu-Tang and a band yet to named. Future proof list.
Stop with that "best of all time" bullshit....everybody had something different to contribute to the bigger picture of Hip-Hop and black culture
@@RichCinema Public Enemy? Agree with the other four you mention.

Midnight Marauders is as close to perfection as it gets. My all time favourite album regardless of genre.
i always thought Low End theory was better the MM, and Low End came out before MM (tie goes to original). But, both are classic HIP HOP.
LET and PITATPOR are tied for first. MM is an undeniable 3rd and was a major disappointment when it dropped.
Understandable after how ground breaking the first two were, and unique from each other. MM was just more of the same, but not a new sound
Phife will forever be a hip hop legend. His lyrics and flow helped make rap a great music genre. May he rest in peace
One of my all time favourites.
Nothing flashy, just plain good music man.
When it comes to the best beats over and over again, then A Tribe Called Quest really wins. I love them so much, the whole squad altogether!
I got a ding donger..so hear my sound...stick I in da ear...now ya love my style ..!!!!
Not just beats. The bass (Ron Carter here?) really adds to the groove.
1:22 what a beauty !!!
so proud grow up on this music
Busta's energy at the end tho LOL
Man what a nuclear power plant........ and what a classic album
How can some one rap so calmly..
Man Q-Tip is really good at this😎
Congratulations to the newest members of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!! Way overdue
Busta's energy is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
RIP Phife another one of the real hip hop artist to ever do it...
phife became my favorite for that trini gladiator from here to Grenada I came to uas in 1993 and never thought anyone knew my lil island of Grenada
Rest in power Phife Dawg...my love for hip hop began with hearing your verses a child. I memorized so many of them...I will never forget you Phifer.
Tribe Called Quest all day today.
youtubasoarus word you know it still bumping
all every day
moi aussi...me to...i love il ..bass ligne is crazy
8 9 2018 . . . the mission stays the same
My favorite group man. Love the last 10 seconds Q Tip just noddin his head at the end smiling listening to Busta, nostalgia man
Besides the track being an absolute classic, I love how the video captures this neighbour's vibe of the time. The kids and grandpas rocking it, the black muslims, the delis.. it's like a little 3:54 minutes long time capsule.
It's 2023 Still Heat! Straight Fire! Salute and Blessings Tribe! Rip The Funky Diabetic! 🙏🏽❤️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
The energy coming from this song is undeniable
Tip- “Yo phife what you doing wit those pads man”
😂😂😂 they had an excellent chemistry, RIP phife. Tribe forever 🙏🏾♥️
When the Indian at the store rhymed:
“...in the place to be / on the corner of Marcus Garvey”
It became a legit rap.
Phife was a King 🤴🏾of " punchlines"...
The man had SO MANY I can't even pic just one as a favorite 😅😅
The part I love the most about this video is that they did feature the bodega guy.
2:26 When you hear that A Tribe Called Quest is coming together for one final album.

When Busta said "oh my God yes oh my God" i felt that
1:10

HIPHOP IN ITS PUREST FORM.
Remember when Busta sang, "Oh my God"? That's the best.
Try to imagine this track without that dirty record crackle. Wouldn't be the same.
The piano at the end makes this extra special. Just genius!!
90s busta!
Busta can say three words, be the hook and a sample all at the same time #legendary
NYC in the 90s…
…crazy memories.
❤🎉❤
Still can't believe this man... Smh. Rip Phife Dawg. You will live forever through the legendary sounds you created.
If Busta was a drink, he'd be a Red Bull. Pure Energy!!
It now hit me that the flow snd concept of Busta standing on an elevated platform singing the hook. This was the same concept that was applied to Puffy and Biggie Song
No phones, no selfies, no selfie-sticks, just headbobbin - pure classic!
Hope Selfie Stick.... heh heh
Hope never took a selfie in my life. If I Have to explain you would not understand.
Good times,when people actually speak each other
selfie stick
