Just in case anyone thinks to comment about this: I am aware that The Next Episode was not on The Chronic, but I still wanted to make the joke anyway. :) Thanks for watching everyone!
Thank you for such a great video essay! As a big Tribe fan you were on point with all your facts about the band. My favourite Tribe album is Midnight Marauders. I was 12 years old and wanted my mom to buy Enter The Wu but she wouldn't because of the parental advisory sticker. So she bought me Midnight Marauders instead. I loved every minute of it and played that cd over and over again. I know most of the songs by heart. Low End Theory is a classic too but Midnight was my introduction. If you disagree, don't put poison in my mash potatoes, lol.
Ye: "Anything that I ever did wrong...blame Tip and Phife cuz yall raised me." Tip and Phife: "Shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt."
My uncle was very broken up over Phife's death. Back when his main gig was DJing in the Bay Area in the late 90's early 00s he did some work in radio and got to interview Phife in 2003. He's really glad he got to have that personal interaction with him.
A Tribe Called Quest made so much good music that you can make a 24 minute video on their history and not even mention Check The Rhime, probably their biggest and most beloved song
I wore my Low End Theory sweatshirt today because it just felt like the right day to wear it, and now I see this on my CZcams page. I can’t tell how to feel
After watching this, and the Grammys video, it makes me wish so badly that you'd have more ladies in your deep discog dive series. It's my favorite thing you do, and I'd love to know more about some of the most iconic female artists
if you check the description on the new ddd video there is a link to a voting page, theres a few women on there but they may just not get many votes at the moment, i'm sure that'll change tho!
@@okaytomm9925 Yea I know, I'm just trying to say I wish there was more women on it, or maybe the gender variation become more equal. It'd even be cool if for at least one month vote there was ONLY women (maybe for women's history month) so, by the very least, it can add more women to DDD over time.
the whole native tongues crew were something else man, I'm glad my dad's as much of a music nerd as I am or I wouldn't have been blessed with any of these bangers
I listened to Midnight Marauders for the first time a couple years back in my first day of college. I never realized it until now that i'm a few weeks from graduation that it was the soundtrack to my college years. This album will forever have a special place in my heart.
I place 'Midnight Marauders' & 'The Low End Theory' alongside the great albums from all genres and eras of music. They still hold up, and will continue to hold up.
I didn’t know about Georgie Porgie up until now, and I decided to look up the full lyrics. I thought he was exaggerating. Nope, it legitimately is just extremely blatant homophobia all throughout.
You should do a De La Soul deep dive. You'll probably have to resort to CZcams for most of the albums given their label (and sample clearance) situations making a majority of their stuff unavailable on streaming save for their most recent two. But De La definitely needs more support and praise. Real scummy how Tommy Boy's been doing them with regards to giving them control of their material.
I was just about to say this! I would love a deep dive on De La, especially with how much material they have and how strong they’re still going to this day.
@@Avonbarksdaleable I remember that for sure, I had opted in to receive the email with the discography. They did that because even back then they were still having the issues they're currently having with getting their back catalog officially released, so just out of love for the fans and because they're awesome dudes, they said fuck it have it all for free (though technically it was all their albums from 3 Feet High to Stakes Is High plus a greatest hits compilation. The Grind Date wasn't included). I wish I had donated to the kickstarter for "And the Anonymous Nobody", though.
PLEASE do De La. It's a shame they get looked over due to the lack of availability on streaming (hopefully we'll get it soon since the group announced they're working on it last summer), they were (and still are) held in the same esteem as Tribe back then!
As a huge Tribe fan I would highly suggest listening to their albums in their release order. That way you can appreciate their journey which really puts their last album in perspective
Remember being at Barnes of noble (out of all places) looking at all the cds when I was 9 years old. The low end theory caught my eye and a convinced my mom to get it for me. Listen to that cd every day for a long and saved up all my money to get midnight marauders. Those two albums defined my childhood in a nutshell and tribe will always hit different for me. Thay shit was something special
Completely agree, glad there's other people saying it The earlier stuff will always be more iconic because of the influence, but we got it from here is pure brilliance all the way through
The Deep Discog Dive is always great. Because it eather introduces me to music I haven't heard of or gives me a new perspective on I have already listened to. But in the other hand, every month that it isn't about The Killers is one I die inside a little.
Movin Backwords has to be my fav song from Tribe. Jarobi snapped and Anderson Paak gave what is easily my fav vocal performance from him ever. It’s gorgeous
You nailed in less thant 25 minutes the Quintessence of A Tribe Called Quest : excellent job ! Oh, and also : Ali Shaheed Muhammad kept working with Adrian Younge on the "Jazz Is Dead" series, where they make music along well or lesser known great musicians (Roy Ayers, Brian Jackson, Azymuth, Tony Allen, Lonnie Linston-Smith....) : volume 19 will be released soon, it's definitely worth a check !
I’m from mexico I found ATCQ looking for a choreography, the guy used “electric relaxation” as a introduction, I heard it and I loved it, I looked for it, and I continued listening more and more, the whole album, more albums and that was it, I really love atcq the best hip Hop group
Also mexican. I was listening to low end theory and it ended so it started playing random music then electric relaxation came on and i put down everything and listened to that album
Just wanted to say it wasn’t the velvet underground being sampled but rather Lou Reeds transformer Also you gotta do Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground on a DDD Some classic rock would make sense given out of the 10 last DDDs 7-8 are hip hop
@@evanvandenbrul5500 honestly, lou reed alone would be about 40 min, if you include velvet the video is about an hour. if you include nico and cale it might just be a bit much
Quest dissed MC Hammer on Check the Rhime, years before Beats, Rhymes, and Life. MC Hammer fired back in 1994, and then I think that might be the inspiration for "Phony Rappers"
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd Hammer was a preacher first, then a rapper, then a preacher again. On his first record he went by the name "MC Hammer -The HolyGhost Boy"
Let’s NOT forget that Tribe’s debut album, “People’s Instinctive Travels & The Path of Rhythm” was the 1st ‘Five Mic” album from The Source. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 🙏🏾⚡️
We got it from here has a special place in my heart, it is what got me into Tribe and I felt the closest with all of my friends at the time….makes me cry listening to it just thinking about it being a tribute to Phife
I’m about to be 42 and play low end or midnight marauders at least once a week..my fave hip hop group ever..they are the best to ever do it..I’m so glad I got to work for them and seen them perform w phife ..my inner 12 year old was so happy I almost cried 🙏🏼🙏🏼
speaking of fire accident, RZA studio got flooded back in the end of 90s and a LOT of beats and songs were lost, and most of em are for wu tang solo project.
The first time I heard ATCQ was Oh My God, and that beat was marked in my mind, it was aerial, and so I discovered more and more of the Midnight Marauders, this Tribe engages and captures well the power they have. Listen "Mind Power"
The first time I heard Bonita Applebum bumping out the trunk of a Jeep in the early 90’s in Jersey had me hooked. Went and got the tape. Midnight Marauders was my high school soundtrack. Also the Scenario remix had me hunting trying to figure out how to find it…heater 🧨🌡🔥
Tribe are the reason I got into Hip Hop, my dad played Check the Rhime for me when I was 14 and I was hooked man. It also gave me and my dad something to have in common.
My favorite rap music ever. I love their whole discography, but Midnight Marauders will always be my favorite. Doesn't matter if I've just had the worst day of my life or the best, Midnight Marauders always feels like the perfect record to put on in the evening after a long day.
Please do De La Soul, Gang Starr, or The Roots next! All of them are some of the greatest discographies in hip hop and all have great history and stories surrounding them.
I love all of their albums and have been listening to all of the albums this past week. A Tribe Called Quest are my top 10 favorite rappers of all time. They don’t get enough credit for their music and they have the most unique sound. They are known for their jazz style sampled beats. I knew Phife Dawg had diabetes since his younger days, so he had died from complications of that disease. It broke my heart when he died, so the group minus Ali Shaheed Muhammad made a comeback album We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service. The group brought back original member Jacobi White who left the group during their debut album for culinary school. Also, it was their best comeback album I ever heard, so Ali Shaheed Muhammad wasn’t on the writing credits. It had a lot of collaborations on the album from André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, Elton John, Kanye West, Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Consequence, and Busta Rhymes. After hearing of all of their albums, Busta Rhymes was on all of their albums. The group has reunited 3 times after their 1998 breakup. Q-Tip and Phife didn’t always get along with each other since the two became lifelong friends. I advice people to listen to their music if you haven’t heard it yet. These guys were in their prime and made great music for all generations. I hope Q-Tip will make more music since the record labels don’t wanna promote him. It’s a dirty game in the music business. I would have wish they made a collaboration album with OutKast; that would be dope.
Luck of Lucien from people's instinctive travels has one of my favourite beats of all time, sampling the French national anthem and brilliant story telling
One of my favorite Rap groups of ALL Time and Long Live The Tribe Called Quest!!!!! Check the song called " Butter " on the album " The Low End Theory ". Great job on this video and thank you making it!
They are not at all underrated. You werent alive when they were at their prime in the early 90s and so was i. They incredibly loved and adored by many and revered a new style of hip hop. They inspired a lot of people
I have yet to get into their work properly (have listened to the first half of Midnight Marauders once), but I knew Q-Tip wayy before ATCQ because of his contributions to the amazing Chemical Brothers tunes Galvanize (2005) and Go (2015).
They were supposed to come to a local festival here in denmark, but q tip hurt his shoulder falling down the stairs and I never got to an Tribe show, man I have never been so dissapointed.
You did a fantastic job with this essay! I'm a huge fan of ATCQ and I even own a re-released copy of the Midnight Mauraders album so this meant a lot to me. RIP Phife Dawg
@@tammyr.5203 I know da ladies are mesmerized by electric relaxation, phife and tip got y'all to laugh, that's for certain. I love it when ladies embrace tribe "Original rude boy, never am I coy You can be a shorty in my ill convoy" "Honey, check it out, you got me mesmerized With your black hair and your fat-ass thighs"
@@trex0416 Its definitely a groove. I enjoy the sample used since I'm also a Jazz head. Plus my favorite line came from Phife: I like 'em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian Name is Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation. Idk it's always hit home for me.
@@lucalamanna-vg2bz yeah those are the two I know about. A theme recurring twice didn't seem like "a recurring theme" to me. Need at least 3 points IMO for a generalization to start sticking
People's Instinctive Travels is still my favourite Tribe album. It's one of a very select few that I can go back to and cheer me up whatever my mood is.
I rem sitting in my room with headphones on and listening to MM the first time. I stayed up all night long, replayed it like seven times. Still one of the greatest albums EVER released, hands down
I understand that you might not like "The Love Movement" as much as some of the classics. But I love that album more than midnight marauders purely cause my boy J Dilla kills everything.
"Beats, Rhyme and Life" doesn't get enough respect in my opinion. There is a shift tonally, sure, but there are some legit gems on here. The singles are some of my fave ATCQ songs i.e. "1nce Again" and "Stressed Out"
This is great, thanks a lot. It's interesting to note that the 'LOVE MOVEMENT' album is one of Tribe's best works if you ask me, all i ask is patience while you give it some good listen
Just in case anyone thinks to comment about this: I am aware that The Next Episode was not on The Chronic, but I still wanted to make the joke anyway. :)
Thanks for watching everyone!
rip nate dogg
Also The Chronic was released on 1992, not 1993
Please do the Ultramagnetic MCs & Kool Keith. He was one of the first abstract rappers and MF Dooms favourite rapper

Ye: "Anything that I ever did wrong...blame Tip and Phife cuz yall raised me."
Tip and Phife: "Shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt."
I was thinking the same thing 😂
This is like if Hitler blamed the painters he emulated while studying art for what he did lmao
We Got It From Here is hands down the best comeback album from any artist
Daughters You Wont Get What You Want has entered the chat
One of the Best Yet by Gang Starr was crazy too, in the same respect... word up
part of the holy trinity of them to be sure, along with Daughters, don't know who would take the 3rd slot though
@@fireballninja01 Random Access Memories is the third that comes to mind for me
@@sachinpandya2518 Random Access Memories doesn't feel like a comeback album though
RIP Phife Dawg and J Dilla
dilla dawg for life
Amen phife dizzle I’ll see u up there too, rip until then, but for u- the alarm clock is about to be waking u up. For you it’s NOW!
The Love Movement ironically doesn’t get enough love. It’s a really nice album that people often forget about!
YO PAT I CANT SAY THIS IN THE GC BUT NEW BLACK MIDI HOOOOLY FUCK
Dilla did one of the most genius sampling ever on that album.
ATCQ is a Top 3 rap group of all time
Agreed. I like it a ton.
It's actually my favorite
@@seancascone hi Sean

The greatest rap group ever.
The greatest hip hop artists ever
Things I learned from this video: A Tribe Called Quest is the most influential
hyperpop act in music history
Hands down my favourite hip hop group. Love their laid back, jazzy production and funky rhymes. Not one bad album either

@@trex0416 That's a hard question yo answer because enjoy about 90% of the album. I do love Electric Relaxation and Sucka N***a !
@@tammyr.5203 I know da ladies are mesmerized by electric relaxation, phife and tip got y'all to laugh, that's for certain. I love it when ladies embrace tribe
"Original rude boy, never am I coy
You can be a shorty in my ill convoy"
"Honey, check it out, you got me mesmerized
With your black hair and your fat-ass thighs"
@@trex0416 Its definitely a groove. I enjoy the sample used since I'm also a Jazz head. Plus my favorite line came from Phife: I like 'em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian
Name is Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation. Idk it's always hit home for me.
@@tammyr.5203 So you're into the common's, talibs, mos Def's, erykah badu's, Lauryn hill's of the world ? I got a soft spot for yall❤
J Dilla was a highlight on Beats, Rhymes and Life & The Love Movement.
Once again the algorithm exposes me to another amazing channel
Why is “artists who’ve made tracks entirely revolving around gay-bashing” such a reoccurring theme in this video series
what's the list so far?
Plsss, I wasn't surprised
@@blarghblargh so far MF DOOM and A.T.C.Q
Hope theyre the only ones ahahah
@@lucalamanna-vg2bz yeah those are the two I know about. A theme recurring twice didn't seem like "a recurring theme" to me. Need at least 3 points IMO for a generalization to start sticking
@@lucalamanna-vg2bz
Tyler the Creator to an extent.
My best group of all times. I'll listen to these guys till i die. Even during my funeral, they better play A Tribe or I'm coming for everybody. 😂
WOOOO QUEEEENS!!!!
I've been waiting most of the week to get time to sit and watch this! 🍿😋
I’ve only listened to the low end theory and midnight marauders but now I wanna check out their other records! Great video as always btw
Great video, amazing group that revolutionised hiphop!
FOURTH VIDEO IN A ROW ASKING IF MICTHESNARE HAS HEARD THE THOM YORKE REMIX OF GAZZILION EAR
People's Instinctive Travels is still my favourite Tribe album. It's one of a very select few that I can go back to and cheer me up whatever my mood is.
Fr tho can we all appreciate that Mic doesn’t do sponsors
No but there are ads throughout :(
I mean I want homie to get paid tbh, he's more than deserving of the support.
@@NomNomGohan exactly
Sponsors are not a bad thing.
@@kayanono not necessarily, but personally it does kinda take away from the geniuness of the content just a bit
All I can say about this is HELL YES
We got it from here... Thank you 4 your service is my all time favorite album by a significant amount. Sooooooooo damn perfect
the chase part II is my fav. song rn. it changes every 6 months tho. RIP Phife,
atcq is my favorite group ever their songs are truly some of the best ive ever heard
I rem sitting in my room with headphones on and listening to MM the first time. I stayed up all night long, replayed it like seven times. Still one of the greatest albums EVER released, hands down
I understand that you might not like "The Love Movement" as much as some of the classics. But I love that album more than midnight marauders purely cause my boy J Dilla kills everything.
"Beats, Rhyme and Life" doesn't get enough respect in my opinion. There is a shift tonally, sure, but there are some legit gems on here. The singles are some of my fave ATCQ songs i.e. "1nce Again" and "Stressed Out"
This is great, thanks a lot. It's interesting to note that the 'LOVE MOVEMENT' album is one of Tribe's best works if you ask me, all i ask is patience while you give it some good listen
I'm just getting into Tribe called quest for the first time and I'm so glad I saw this. Perfect timing for me, I appreciate it.
Car Seat Headrest for Deep Discog Dive 2021 please king
i swear midnight marauders and we got it from here, thank you 4 your service are the best tribe albums
Thank you 4 your service Mic. This is awesome
Boards of Canada deep discog dive, a video that absolutely nobody wants except for me but it would make me very happy
A Tribe Called Quest genuinely means so much to me. Thank you for making this video.
I always come out of these videos with such a heightened appreciation of music, even with artists I never would've gotten into otherwise!
So happy there’s another deep discog dive
Great episode! I’d really love for you to cover Fu Shnikums, queens of the Stone Age Or Danny brown
