A Tribe Called Quest


Backup Info
A Tribe Called Quest is a critically acclaimed and highly-influential American hip-hop group, formed in 1988. The group is composed of rapper/producer Q-Tip (Kamal Fareed), rapper Phife Dawg (Malik Taylor), and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, rapper Jarobi White, left the group after their first album but appears to have rejoined the group since 2006. Along with De La Soul, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective. Their innovative fusing of hip hop and jazz has had a lasting impact on hip hop music, helping to expand the art of hip hop production. Many of their songs, such as "Bonita Applebum", "Can I Kick It?", "Scenario", and "Electric Relaxation" are regarded as classics of the genre.

They released five albums in ten years, the first three of which were very highly acclaimed, and disbanded in 1998. In 2006, the group reunited and toured the US and plan to release an album after some works in the studio. The group is generally regarded as pioneers of alternative rap music, having helped to pave the way for socially aware hip-hop artists. All Music Guide calls them "the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s". [1] In 2005, A Tribe Called Quest received a Special Achievement Award at the Billboard R&B Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.[2] In 2007, the group was formally honored at the 4th VH1 Hip Hop Honors.
Q-Tip and Phife were childhood friends and had grown up together in St. Albans, Queens. The pair first met Muhammad in Murray Bergtraum High School. Initially, Q-Tip had been performing as a solo artist (MC Love Child), occasionally teaming up with Muhammad as a rapper/DJ duo. Although the pair frequently made demos with Phife (as Crush Connection), the sports enthusiast was still courting ambitions of playing professional basketball, and remained somewhat reluctant to become a full member of the group, only later relenting after Jarobi also joined, thus making the group a quartet. The group's final name was coined in 1988 by the Jungle Brothers, who attended the same high school as Tribe[3]. Q-Tip made two separate appearances on the Jungle Brothers' classic debut album, Straight Out the Jungle; the songs "Black Is Black" and "In Time", respectively. Afrika Baby Bam of the group introduced Q-Tip to De La Soul when he took the aspiring artist along to a studio session for the recording of the remix for the group's song "Buddy". Produced by Prince Paul, the remix of "Buddy" was to be an all-round Native Tongue affair, and the eccentric producer encouraged Q-Tip to contribute to the now-classic record.

Around this time, thanks to Q-Tip's distinctive vocal style and creative rhymes as a guest artist, Tribe began to generate a lot of interest amongst record label talent scouts. In early 1989 they signed a demo deal with Geffen Records and produced a five song demo which included such Tribe classics as "Description Of A Fool", "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" and "Can I Kick It?". Geffen however, decided against offering the group a full-fledged recording contract and the group was granted permission to shop for a deal elsewhere while retaining the Geffen financed songs.

After receiving lucrative offers for multi-album deals from a variety of labels both big and small, the group showed early savvy in opting for a modest deal offered by Jive Records, then known as an independent rap label that specialized in and owed its success to building careers of artists like Boogie Down Productions and Too Short, and for placing emphasis on longevity, and paying attention to grass-roots fan bases.

Background story
The original group actually started by Ol dirty and gza along with rza and was called "Imperial Master". For one reason or the other their voices were not heard throughout the hiphop community. They put the group to continue as solo artists, but also had little successes at that as well. Rza,(a member of the group) claimed that if he had total control over IM they would crush the hiphop industry. And so, in 1992, the wutang clan was born. From various Friends, and local Mc's in Staten island.

They got their label in 1993, and released their first single "Protect your neck" which gave them HUGE props in the underground community.

Since then they have released many hits such as

They have truly had a huge impact on hiphop, and should be considered living legends.

 

simon and garfunkel, yea they were old but i mean they inspired alot of people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_and_garfunkle

lol u can just plain out read wiki on this one...

there is a countless list of songs that inspired that they have written, which all have very well thought out depth behind each very title.

sry mines not as "well put together" as you guys but lol its ok i guess

 

Bump. nice thread.

Since its a debate, I'll start it.

Though a tribe called quest are pioneers in hiphop. I would have to go with the WU on this one. The amount of feeling metaphors and punchlines they can put into one song while having 9 people rap on the track is outrageous. i believe them to be the best group to touch music.

 

Boyz 2 Men

 

The Hollywood UndeadStraight from the ghettofabulous streets of Hollywood rises this up & coming 7 piece fusion of morbid Hip Hop, surrealistic Hardcore, and fashion conscious Metal, and not since Motley Crue has a Hollywood band generated the type of buzz and blatant admiration that has been created by this recent addition into the scene.
Populated by 7 heavy metal/hardcore hooligans, the Hollywood Undead began as the brainchild of J-Dog and Tha Producer, two streetwise scene kids who frequented the Los Angeles club scene. The Hollywood skyline was their shelter. Drinking, thugging, and debauchery were their trademark.



After 1 day of dropping their sound onto Myspace, their account exploded like TNT. The Hollywood Undead space grew in size in a matter of hoursstarting out with an audience of 10, and blowing up into one that included several thousand users just in their first day of entry into the space. Hundreds of comments from awestruck admirers. Thousands of adds per day on average. Tens of thousands of profile views. Close to 4000 DOWNLOADS PER DAY. Reaching number 12 on the myspace top bands chart, then number 8, then number 4, and finally after only 1 week taking on the number 1 spot, beating out some of the most famous bands in the world. Bands like Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay, System Of A Down and even their friends "From First To Last".


The band now consists of an entourage of Hollywood brats that have been selectively recruited into the gang/group on the basis of their mad skillz: J Dog, Da Kurlzzz, Charlie Scene, Tha Producer, Funny Man, The Server,


Donning bone-chilling masks so that their strapping good looks cannot take away from their musical artistry, The Hollywood Undead has burst onto the scene to show The Kids how it's really done

ALL HAIL THE UNDEAD!

lol thanks for teh responses the wutang one was hot i love wutang

murder inc. for sure.

 

Metallica... through and through

 

rap -retards attempting poetry

i prefer metal.

 

GO fucking kill your self

ROCK=
RETARDS ON CRACK

 

Pink Floyd. This is a given

 

Lamb of God is the best freaking Metal band ever. Every single song has an awesome beat and their vocals are awesome. You should check them out, even if you don't like Metal.

 

1. it takes much more skill to play an instrument than it does to run around, flip people off, and whine about things they know nothing of.

2. you act like rappers dont do drugs... so gtfo please.

3. most songs in rock are about government, people, or love. so you are saying that in rap where they sing about hustling(scamming), buying girls, cash, and drug flow. you tell me that is much better. i lol @ u.

 

I'm tempted to agree with this, though groups like Grateful Dead, Judas Priest and The Beatles is very high on my list.

 

I thought there were a lot more Rockers and Metal heads on this forum, but now I'm starting to see too much rap Metal is so much better

 

Can i get a "Fuck Yeah!"?

no that would equal ROC... you fail....


just remember, you cant spell crap without rap
