Lyrics:
'Q-Tip: Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden
We used to kick routines and presence was fittin
It was I, The Abstract
'Phife Dawg: And me the five footer
I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter
Yo, Phife, you remember that routine
That we used to make spiffy like Mr. Clean?
Um um, a tidbit, um, a smidgen
I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip
Well, then grab the microphone and let your words rip
Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am
Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram
I'm like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long
My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong
I slayed that body in El Segundo then +Push it Along+
You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man
'cause you know and I know that you know who I am
A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals, you see
And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's
'Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me
They get vexed, I roll next, can't none contest me
I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave
On job remaining, no I'm chaining cause I misbehave
I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check
And before I get the butt the jim must be erect
You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk
Extremity in rhythm, yeah that's what you heard
So just clean out your ears and just check the word
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check it out Check it out
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Play tapes y'all
Check the rhyme y'all Check the rhyme y'all
Check it out Check it out
Back in days on the boulevard of Linden
We used to kick routines and the presence was fitting
It was I the Phifer
And me The Abstract
The rhymes were so rumping that the brothers rode the 'zack
Yo Tip you recall when we used to rock
Those fly routines on your cousin's block
Um, let me see, damn I can't remember
I receive the message and you will play the sender
You on point Tip?
All the time Phife
You on point Tip?
Yeah, all the time Phife
You on point Tip?
Yo, all the time Phife
So play the resurrector and give the dead some life
Okay, 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? Um
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
So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
I don't doubt it. Look at how they act
Off to better things like a hip-hop forum
Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and
Proper. What you say Hammer? Proper
Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop
NC, y'all check the rhyme y'all
SC, y'all check it out y'all
Virginia, check the rhyme y'all
Check it out. Out
In London, check the rhyme, y'all

man phife was on point

Was phone on point?
Not only their music, the aesthetic of their music videos was so ahead of their time, the playful use of mixed-media and the black&white film-noir look makes these so timeless
And their hat style
you can thank Jim Swaffield for that, he directed a lot of Tribe's music videos, my favorite being the one from Scenario.
I was just thinking, "Who shot and edited this?" In '23 it still looks crisp!
film noir.... reminds me of Humanities class...
This group was such a huge part of my childhood. RIP Phife!!!
Mine too, back in 94 this was in constant rotation in the headphones and I remember almost ever word from this gem..... Low End Theory is in my personal top 10 albums of all times.
Yes!! Hey let's go back in a time machine and relive from 90s to the early 2000s. Just let me know!! Lol....I really thought about it. I hate this era.
You on point Phife?
All the time, Tip

A year later and he still on point!
Another year and he still on point
If you don't know Mac miller Phife Dawg tribute you should definantly check it, Its called 5 foot assasin
Probably my favorite call and response in rap.
My dad showed me this song because we were on the boulevard of linden ; ~ ; how ironic *this is Sujo cujo's daughter :>*
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!!!!
Yes!
The whole Low End Theory album is a masterpiece of 90s hiphop
Always been one of my top 2 or 3 favorite Tribe tracks. 🔥🔥🔥

This is still a common type of sound in underground hip hop where they don't care about clearing samples, but yeah you're not going to hear it on the radio.

It's impossible listening to this song and not bobbing your head.

Its possible
It's possible
Owwwww Yeah
Caught in the act, was scrolling and bobbing then hit this comment lol
90s had the best hip hop videos.
Sure did no question ❣
ua-cam.com/video/EYX2AS735YI/v-deo.html
Hip hop at it's finest in 90s this is real hip hop
Yep.
I was just saying that the other day.
Yo, listen up! My dude got skills for real, but even he gotta use a u t h e n t I c v i e w s to get that quick shine. If you tryna get your A Tribe Called Quest out there and blow up fast, you gotta roll with a u t h e n t I c v i e w s. That's the move, no cap.
4/30/2024 EDIT: It's very great to hear that ATCQ were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Soon, many hip hop acts will get inducted there
Seriously I can’t believe Eminem got in before them..a damn travesty I think
You are correct ❤️
Rap is not pop if you call it that then stop!
I don’t let a statue tell me how I say I am
there really should be a hip hop hall of fame, but in the absence of such a thing, tribe should be in the rock and roll hall of fame
Questions everyone already knows the answer to:
1) Is the 'Wu Tang Clan' something to fu** wit?
2) Are Tip and Phife on point?
1) No
2) Yes
Ahahahahahhahah gg m8 wp

I know the answer to #2: All the time!
“Can I kick it?” should be one.

As a 52 year old man I think that 90s hip hop was just so awesome. Just so many groups and just about all of them were awesome
Your generation was dope. My mom is a Gen Xer too :)
They radiate the essence of people who are genuinely cool. That's because they are and always will be.

I did not know about that .. RIP
yo mello rip
Q-tip has the sweetest face and voice in hiphop, far from the genre's boast
He is stunning agreed ❤️
2:59 “record company people are shady”
Ashamed that I didn't bother listening to Tribe until very recently. Holy shit, way ahead of their time.
RIP Phife.
way ahead
The thing is that Tribe is still ahead of this mass crap trap rap...
It was great time in hip hop Jonathan my favorite group A Tribe called Quest and De La Soul makes me feel like a teen again early 90's was great man.
Jonathan Morse they were always on point
Me too! 💯 I just started listening to this group this year. I always thought Tip was a cutie but never really paid their music much attention nor realized how dope it was. 🎶
I’m a Southern Girl, so I was more into OutKast, Kilo, Luke/2 Live Crew, and Goodie Mob.
I stopped listening to New York hip-hop in the late 80’s around the time groups like Run-DMC and Whodini played out. 🤣 By the time Tribe dropped, The South had its own artists, which were more relatable to our vibe and style. 🤷🏽♀️
I’m realizing now that Tribe was tight though. 😂
I really miss this golden era style of 90's hip hop. Straight up fire. We need a revival.
Word...
@@quacker7581 you didn't actually just say that 😐
We will never get this back, just be happy that you got to live through it, because I'm very thankful. 44 here

“I’m like an energizer cause I last long”. I wish that were true, 45 is too young. 😞
"rap is not pop if you call it that then stop" Q-tip warned the phonies
"What you say Hammer? Proper?"
Francis Gomez That was actually a shot at MC Hammer
Period
nowadays we pretend pop is rap. Shit is different.
agreed... but then again pop is short for popular so if a rap song is popular then it makes it pop? but i get what you mean... pop is shit
People who disliked didn't check the rhime

This is the holy grail of 90 hip hop. Real cool NYC ish!!!!
How dare people discover a song they ended up liking and would have never checked otherwise
Exactly bro
It’s not that it’s the over use of the references and shit i think i speak for half of the atcq fans we just don’t wanna make this the cesspool of bad jojo fans
@Librucity I've listened to atcq for ages and I'm a JoJo fan and I've gotta say just ignore them, there is some normal JoJo fans
* don’t sue me Please* lol its just a comment section not a shrine
@Librucity all they do is just make their own jokes,if you don't find them funny that's you just quit being a buzz kill
Before My SON PASSED AWAY, HE LOVED THIS GROUP
HIS NAME WAS ( RASHEIM ) Stay Blessed TRIBE CALL QUEST
May his soul rest in peace
I'm sorry for your loss
Hope he can rest in peace
God bless you and your family
He's certainly in heaven with Phife now.
he had great taste in music, rest easy
So underrated and over looked one of the best rap groups ever!!
I'm from 07 and honestly, this is the era i want to have grown around in, without so many nowerday disteractions, everyone would have the time to concentrate on the people around them instead of prioritising their phone, the music was and still is the best music out there, more life, more happiness
That’s sweet ❤ just be happy they are here for you now ❤good music and talent has no sell by date ❤

That's how most of us SHOULD be.
I'm 47 now and when it came out I was a teenager and still to this day... the low end theory is my favorite complete hip hop album ever... no holes... just great!!!
Same. 45. Was in high school when this came out. I still listen to their albums regularly. My favorite band of all time, and glad I got to see them while Phife was still alive. We were blessed to grow up during this era.
Word
@@r3jk8 you agree?
This was heavily played in the clubs back then. Some good memories.
42 here and Midnight marauders is my hands down favorite LP
In my opinion their first three albums are nearly perfect hip-hop albums. All three of them received 5 mics from the Source magazine. If you grew up in the 90's you know that is a big deal. It's like winning a grammy for best album for three years in a row. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
I grew up on Tribe and am starting to introduce my 6 year old daughter to their incredible catalog. She knows that Phife is no longer alive and she also told me she likes his voice. She knows that it's a trio and that Ali Shaheed makes the beats. I hope someday she will remember hearing their music with the same fondness I remember hearing them for the first time when I was 15 years old.
It went from jojo comments, to people telling the jojo fans to chill, to the comments now just being filled with people telling the people telling people to chill to chill. This is getting complex.

chill.

Hey you! Instead of complaining about JoJo comments, why don't you lean back and appreciate that this wonderful piece of music gets recognition again almost 30 years later! That's pretty cool if you ask me. At the end of the day we are all here because we appreciated the song!
Yeah
@Lé Incubus I'm afraid you didn't fully get the purpose of my comment ^^

"rap is not pop if you call it that then stop" how times have changed
Well, they were dissing MC Hammer if I recall correctly, technically Hammer made pop-rap songs, so he wasn't that wrong about himself.
Huh? What kinda rap are you listening to, drake and playboi carti or something? As far as I know it's still a very different genre
@@FalB27 it wasn't actually a diss against him but mc hammer took it as one and dissed q tip in one of his songs
@@randomusername1735 eh i mean look at a lot of new wave guys that are less actual rap and rhyming and more singing shit. Look at 24kGoldn, ian dior, juice wrld, the kid laroi, and guys like that. The melodic "rap" subgenre is pretty similar to pop.
@@grahamgregory1450 Hmm, but when I think off rap I think of Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar first. And I think juice wrld was edgy enough to not be accused of being pop
It frustrates me when modern rap is disregarded as trashy by people when there's amazing music being made in the genre
I love how Shaheed is just in the back swinging his arms throughout the whole video ahaha
It's usually Jarobi who's being the unintentionally funny in atcq videos lol
Popara lmao, true 😂

@@ashleey9100 as a jojo fan, jojo fans can be pretty cancerous sometimes
@@duckaroo5763 Yeah like when someone skips a part-
Hopefully one day, this genre will be popular again
its the most popular in the world, I think meaningful is what your looking for, and not even that im an oldhead its just that mainstream rap is this just party anthem, drug bs
Please bring some rappers that use musicians,a DJ with old school knowledge, and a professional engineer. Trap sounded fresh when it appeared and mumble rappers are making it torture to listen two. Clean up their mouths, can they use another word besides they n-word. Stop bragging how you hit it. Women are turned off by braggerts.
What? In my country its very popular, hope you check “Alcolirykoz” and “Doble porción”. Im a spanish speaker.
I'm lookin forward the 2070's when a lot of the classic jazz tribe sampled becomes public domain. Maybe then a new resurrector will wake up the dead ✊
Sooner than u think my g
Youngsters! Take notes….this is what real music is…….peace
tbh i feel we need more tribe in the house for sure. none of my friend know quest, like wtf?! why you dont?
So I've been listening to Tribe for a few years now, and the first three albums they made are basically perfect if you're looking to get into them. Here are some highlights from all three for the newer JoJo fans that are looking for more songs from this astounding group. (Johnny from p7 is my favorite JoJo, there's my credibility. You can trust me.)
So! Let's begin! I'll provide a little sidenote into why I love the track, any track with CAPITAL EMPHASIS LIKE THIS is one that I'm extremely fond of, so check those out first if you don't want to go through the walls of text.
From "People Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm"
1. Push it Along (Skip to about a minute in for the actual rapping, beautiful intro though)
2. Luck of Lucien (Wonderful showcase of Tribe's skills without standing too far from other tracks in the album)
3. After Hours (one of their GROOVIEST tracks in my humble opinion, delves into the nightly activities of our Tribe)
4. Footprints (A solid Tribe track, nothing too special about it, just a good showcase of their abilities)
5. Bonita Applebum (absolutely iconic sampling in this track)
6. Can I Kick It? (One of their most ICONIC tracks, if you listen to anything off their first album, make it this one!)
7. Youthful Expression (Q-Tip does his thing on this track, the beat is also astoundingly groovy)
8. Mr. Muhammad (for an absolutely killer intro)
9. Ham 'N' Eggs (for some hilarious bars about something very mundane)
People's Instinctive Travels has a more rudimentary vibe from later albums, and it's their least ambitious of their perfect first three-album run.
From "The Low End Theory" (My personal favorite)
1. Excursions (The bassline that runs throughout the track is FAT, but aside from that, Tip does his fucking JOB on the intro, and once the drum kicks in? It's over. The grooves WILL take over.)
2. Buggin' Out (One of my personal FAVORITES. I believe this is the first track with the classic back-and-forth verse trading that Phife and Tip will commonly do on tracks. Phife begins with a killer flow that fits perfectly with another fat bassline and seamless drums relentlessly pounding in the background. Tip also rides the fuck out of the beat during his verse, it's an absolutely filthy track)
3. Rap Promoter (Not the most essential track, it's Tip rapping about the pitfalls of being in the rap industry, you can skip this unless you're absolutely in love with ATCQ already, but listen to it if only for the transition into)
4. Butter (Phife talks about his relationships, his flow is impeccable, and you fall in love with Phife through this verse, it's so clean)
5. Verses from the Abstract (a very clean track, Phife kinda just spits for a few minutes over a very calm and collected beat)
6. Show Business (another track about the misadventures in the rap industry, the first actual posse track on the album, however, so check it out if you want)
7. Check the Rhime (you're already here!)
8. Everything is Fair (a lil track about surviving in New York)
9. Jazz (We've Got) (ABSOLUTELY FUNKY BEAT. UGH. The drums on this are very heavy, but not enough to kill your ears, just enough to make you bop your head. The verses here are chill, and when Phife comes on you'll freak the fuck out)
10. Scenario (YO. YO YO YO. LISTEN TO THIS SHIT. I don't give a flying fuck if you don't like hip-hop or rap. Listen to this posse track. It really paved the way for future posse tracks in hip-hop, and it's an absolute essential. Sidenote: Busta Rhymes does his fucking thing on this track.)
"The Low End Theory" is the most sonically consistent album Tribe ever came out with. I can listen from track to track without any skips and be just fine. Their subject matter remains solid throughout with maybe the exception of 'Skypager' which isn't my favorite.
From "Midnight Marauders"
1. Steve Biko (From the beginning ATCQ sets themselves up for an astounding album with a FUNKY beat, FLAWLESS flows, and PHENOMENAL composition.)
2. Award Tour (The chorus ALONE will have you rockin' in your seat or grooving your hips, but as soon as Tip and Phife come on, you'll understand why ATCQ is so triumphant. It's because they're THE BEST at what they do.)
3. Sucka ***** (I'm not black, so I do not have clearance to say that word. That aside, Tip provides very unique commentary on the origins and current uses of the N-word.)
4. We Can Get Down (GROOVE FOR DAYS. The intro alone will have you snappin' and crackin' along with the beat. I won't lie, the amount of times I've pretended to hold a mic and rap this to a roaring crowd is slightly embarrassing. But it features a very triumphant beat that'll make you feel like you're on cloud nine.)
5. Electric Relaxation (All about sex! But Tribe makes it sultry and intimate, you'll be grooving, and you may or may not want to fuck after listening to it. Who knows? But I love this track.)
6. Oh My God (An absolutely CRAZY beat, compound that with Phife and Tip doing their thing? Oh yeah. This was destined to be great. And yes, Busta Rhymes is weird af on the hook)
7. Lyrics to Go (One of their more unique beats, Tribe come off as very cocky and self-assured, but that's for good reason, as they ABSOLUTELY SLAUGHTER the beat they're given. "I'm Jordan with the mic, wanna gamble?" I mean COME ON)
8. God Lives Through (A very 'vibey' track, it's a very calm end to Midnight Marauders)
"Midnight Marauders" is an absolute joy to listen to, and if you were to tell me that it was your favorite Tribe album I wouldn't disagree with you in the slightest. It has some of their highest highs on it, and it's an extremely solid end to their phenomenal three-album introduction.
So, yeah! I hope that helped you out in your introduction to ATCQ. They're my absolute favorite rap ensemble group of all time, and let me know if you want me to do any of their other albums. (2016's "We got it From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service" is also phenomenal)

After watching this for the 10000th time , listening to todays hip trash is painful
🔥🔥🔥👍
This shows the reason why I prefer The Low End Theory over their debut. The wordplay between Q-Tip and Phife is just so fun to listen to.
yeah the first album is really highly rated but i just can't really get into the style of it
And the production on this one blows the first out of the water, in my opinion.
Сталкер I feel like Midnight Marauders was where they peaked and then fell off after that but all their albums are legendary
When The Low End theory came out in 91, I think, me and my friend Jahan played it over, and over, and over and...and I still play it. From beginning to end it is one of the few albums that you don't need to skip any of the tracks. It is a high water mark for the style of it's day, it is a timeless classic
Their first album was classic for sure but Low End Theory is on another level with the rapping and production.
that Phife flow though
i know right! mad crazy
I’m 63 n it is still on point🥳🥳🥳🥳
Man, I bought this CD when I graduated from Air Force Basic Training in March 92’. Banging!

May you rest in peace brotha.

the building they are on top of (nu-clear cleaners) in most shots is actually on Linden Boulevard in New York and the building still stands as of 2022, owned / operated by nu-clear cleaners to this day. there is also a ATCQ mural on the side of the building.
Peak Era of rap
Rap, true rap from the golden era ❤️👊🏻🙏
No commercialized bullshit, no mumbling and no beats that always sound the same.
Miss this good ol rap era
Keep missing it. Ima just enjoy the music no matter what era
word ❤️🤜🏼
I'm so glad I was a young adult during this era!!!!!
Please, PLEASE don't let it happen to another song
?
Pls don't tell me cringy TikTok users take songs from the boys
Niobo No, its jojo fans lol, but even though i am one i dont want them to take tcq
@@niyo1803 there was a really good fan made ending for the sixth part that is yet to be animated, which used this song. Needless to say, Jojo fans take over comment sections
Ohhh okay thx for explanation, I still need to watch Jojo tho
I think this is the one of the best music videos ever made. All that choreography and minor details that match up perfect with the lyrics is just pristine
Rest in Peace Phife Dawg 🙏
Hard to describe the happiness that this rap group brought to my life.
Tribe Forever
Phifer Forever
I shook hands with Q-Tip when he came into the crowd during this song. Phyfe controlled the other half of the crowd. It was at a 'Rock the Bells' show. I started jumping up and down around 1:57 with The Abstract standing right there.
Also in 8th grade, 'Violator: The Album' came out and I had the CD and took it to the beach on some 'field trip' we were on. I had speakers with me that I turned up loud when 'VIBRANT THING' came on. Other kids seemed to be enjoying it, but the teacher made me shut it off. I was excited for Summer vacation.
This is so damn wholesome
Not even I can stop the JoJo community at this point
They literally got your son in America telling people to kill the president
Hey god are you good at rapping?
DIOOOOO!!!!!!
@@Berkham1995 🅱️ruh moment
Even araki stronger than god
One of the best hiphop albums ever. CLASSIC!
I’m 32 and have recently fell in love with old school hip hop. I grew up on Wayne but this era was something special.
As much respect as Tribe gets, it's still not enough
REST ON POINT PHIFE DAWG
brilliant
Better than 80% of modern rap
These guys are legendary 💪🔥
Rise of the Beasts bringing back the best hip-hop of all time, Thanks Steven.

I'm 20 yr old british female and was told last week that I shouldn't listen to tribe because I can't relate to their music..? this music is on another level and ANYONE can enjoy it. Thank u tribe. And rip phife
@holio I respect everyone and everything and I'm not taking what he said as racism -because to an extent I understand, it just made me feel awful for some reason
Daughter is 12 and has this on her playlist at kids parties
There is no hip hop like old school hip hop
