I think art becomes timeless when the ultimate goal is to truly make people see and feel your passion. It's a sincere conversation. The business that supports such art is driven by people who understand your vision and market/sell it to reflect that vision, trusting the art will do the rest.

I love how hooks were so rare back then, nowadays lots of rappers are lazy and can’t go 3 minutes without saying the same thing over and over again, dudes like ATCQ, mob deep, wu- tang, sons of Sam and others could write songs that could last up to 6 minutes and you would never hear the same things being repeated, back then true creativity flowed.

[@scinnyc]

@y would u even sub ? A hook and a chorus are basically the *exact same* thing. Here's the official definition: A hook is a musical idea, often a short riff, passage, or phrase, that is used in popular music to make a song appealing and to "catch the ear of the listener". The term generally applies to popular music, especially rock, R&B, hip hop, dance, and pop. In these genres, the hook is often found in, or consists of, the *chorus.* A hook can be either melodic or rhythmic, and often incorporates the main motif for a piece of music.

I worked my way backwards from there, then back forward with Beats, Rhymes and Life, and the Love Movement.

If you changed the wording to "groups" then yeah, I totally agree. The landscape of rap has changed so much that rap groups aren't nearly as relevant as they once were. However, we have Black Hippy, Odd Future and Pro Era all being relevant collectives in the modern era. Hell, the Dungeon Family was established shortly after Jazz was released and even if they don't collaborate too often, it just goes to show the scene shifts so much that something new and exciting is always around the corner, you just have to be on the look for it.

The tribe was so revolutionary. Their music gives you the type of feeling that is kinda indescribable if you ask me. Timeless. R.I.P. Phife aka 5 foot assassin!

[@scampi9588]

Phife’s verse is one of my favourite verses of all time, so so good

[@DodderingOldMan]

I'm the whitest guy on the planet, I know almost nothing about this sort of music... but holy shit... these guys are frinking awesome. I've never heard hip hop as smooth, sublime, and with such musicality as A Tribe Called Quest. This is timeless stuff, everything they do sounds as fresh now as it must have sounded when it was new. You can listen and know that it will still be being played a hundred years from now, two hundred years from now, and more, as an example of the best music the 20th century had to offer.

[@blkenuf8943]

Yeah, man I must've played this tape a million times back in the day. It was the best full album I had heard and so different with the music they used. Everyone was sampling James Brown and/or Parliament. They were one of the first to really use deep jazz tracks and it gave them a completely different sound than everyone else out at the time and pretty much since.

Buffoon1980 Can never limit your just because you are part of a certain group (white), everyone is the same in mind, only variable is the enviroment and culture

[@shmiqqy]

I don't feel like there's any racial segregation (don't know if that term works really) in Tribe's music - it's for everyone.

[@NoCasualPlays]

Buffoon1980 you dont have to be black to like this!

I really like how Q-Tip cuts in at 2:53 and still maintains the song's flow.
