Top 10 A Tribe Called Quest Songs

[@ptt619]

Finally watchmojo makes a video that is actually worth watching

[@diegom-a7970]

Damn right

[@JAM7000]

YEEEEESSSS

[@SntJoe]

Agreed!

[@nickbaltom2479]

bout time hell yeah

[@discosyed]

I love old school hip hop but unfortunately not too well versed in Tribe beats. Is this list pretty legit? Every single track sounds amazing based on the snippets.

[@chynamalik2331]

YESSSSSS!!!!! The greatest rap group of all time

[@bilalha123]

Wu tang

[@paolofernandez5195]

NWA

[@Lycosa]

They are all good, those three. NWA is most un-appropriate, most aggressive and nasty :D. Wu Tang in the middle as 2nd nastiest 2nd most scary group. And ATCQ is happy friendly good stuff :) mostly.

[@iNS4N3xixSN1P3R]

Smartest group

[@DatMuslimDad]

+DVRKami Ao they made rap groups

[@Kameh88]

"Yo microphone check one, two, what is this?" Timeless...

[@orlandochandler2093]

nothing but hits...low end theory...best album

[@dw89music73]

"Buggin' Out" was the first song from A Tribe Called Quest I ever heard, thanks to Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 2. An excellent song to rock your upper body up and down to.

[@PK14X]

How is 'Electric Relaxation' not number 1?

[@primanian]

for real

[@GabeReal9009]

It's a great track no doubt, but "Check The Rhyme" really launched Tribes career off big time.

[@LC__15]

Agreed xInfinity

[@beefcurtainz69]

Agree. Song is classic!

[@AjaniDGleason]

GabeReal9009 Yeah, on the darkest album of their career.

[@victornewman06]

Find a Way could have been on there, but pretty good list

[@elijahjones5595]

victornewman06 Agreed

[@AnthonyMckinney-yu4lk]

Find my way is one their best for sure

[@crazycuzchannel4777]

For real

[@tomasjephersin844]

RIP Phife They Were And Still R One Of The Greatest

[@erickmoore3127]

man after phife died my dad never been the same. RIP

[@Joe-eg7ml]

I always thought "Midnight", track 6 on Midnight Mauraders album was so underrated...love that track!

[@eldridgeisswagtv]

Very underrated

[@prod.mxmo_mk9]

Facts

[@badmeetsevil6163]

Yeah nice dark track from them

[@mintyicecream7]

Where's excursions or the infamous date rape?

[@valco8371]

or butter

[@ReggieRossTheBoss]

peace prosperity and paper, god lives through

[@simonwheeler9502]

Both good, but come on dude. The songs in the top ten deserve to be there. I might would shake up the order a bit though.

[@ReggieRossTheBoss]

FluffyBunny3545 ye for sure good list overall

[@snowm3338]

They most likely chose the ones that got the most exposure in mainstream media.

[@maceothompson2172]

Jazz and Electric Relaxation are probably my favorites. I'm surprised Find a Way didn't make the list though.

[@pandre925]

Electric Relaxation will always be my favorite jam. I remember riding across the Brooklyn Bridge bumpin this wit my unc in the car and this is the track that put me on ATCQ.

[@mildmagician2764]

I hope butter is on here

[@sega951]

I know right its underrated

[@wrongpingpong]

I was hoping the same thing

[@DomV123]

It better be

[@wrongpingpong]

It's not

[@grimeztwoeleven]

They slept on butter

[@tyronescringeheaven1120]

Check the Rhime is my favorite song.

[@alex_xool]

I loved this video, but I think excursions should've gotten at least a honorable mention.

[@WippeV]

These guys are legends of the hiphop game! My favorite song, Can I Kick It! Rip Phife!

[@SoulDesecrator]

Best hip hop group of all time. Glad you guys did this!

[@SoulDesecrator]

Although I would of put Bonita Applebum top 3

[@BlackTyeChi]

You guys need to hire a brother that knows hip hop because the script is off, as is the order. Phi fe wasn't giving props to female artists, he was talking about wanting to bone female r&b stars.

[@kevindagame]

Interesting, Award Tour is my #1 track

[@cbfall]

One of my faves indeed!

[@cbfall]

***** Great!!

[@primanian]

electric relaxation

[@anonnumber8019]

How the f*** is this no. 10? The beat alone was way too beautiful. This was the song of my childhood!!!

[@leighburton832]

I am a little older. Award tour was my graduating from high school and entering my freshman year of college song!

[@bfgtech48]

The best rap group ever! Rest in peace Phife.

[@avril14thlove]

Electric relaxation should have been ranked higher.

[@leighburton832]

Award Tour #10? I demand a recount! That song was the bomb!

[@FullForceGamer]

you guys need to remaster this list with the release of We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service

[@trymikefirst]

Ikr. There are a few tracks that should be on here

[@rainking4621]

word to phife dawg from a tribe called quest

[@mariuscarl155]

Honestly WatchMojo your a little late to making this list, this video should of been released the day or the day after Phife Dawg passed to show respect.

[@Piefav2]

Tru

[@SexyButCurious]

Definitely

[@orlandochandler2093]

can't front. eyes were watering. tribe my favorite group.

[@rsjohnson18]

You ain't lying

[@juicemanirving]

That wouldn't be showing respect... That would highly disrespectful, profiting from someone's death

[@Crotchalforce5]

This was beautifully put together you guys. Well done & thank you. In high school (mid 90's) in Carlsbad, CA, all I listened to was slayer & punk; I could not stand rap or hip hop. BUT, I always enjoyed Tribe & they were the one group I respected & still do. Thank you for memorializing them like this.

[@nowheels340]

Buggin out is their best song imo but... All tribe songs are good

[@nowheels340]

RiP Phife Dawg, my favorite Tribe member

[@Ray-xo7rl]

1.God lives through 2.Can I kick it 3.Butter 4.Scenario 5.Bustas lament 6.Clap your hands 7.Infamous Date rape 8.Oh my god(remix) 9.Bonita Applebum 10.Buggin out

[@SYDSYMA]

Bustas Lament is fire, good choice

[@DomV123]

This list works in any order

[@georgebuckland4037]

Lyrics to go remix is also amazing

[@ivanburden4658]

when you weren't east coast or west coast in the 90's, you were tribe!!!

[@ladydontekno]

I don't know if the west coast was really checking for ATCQ though.

[@spaceinbetween6591]

+ladydontekno The Pharcyde is like the West Coast equivalent of ATCQ

[@asssassyn]

+ladydontekno The West Coast loves ATCQ.

[@alvarobendezu8452]

ice cube and q-tip was takin shots to each other, some how some way they were in that war

[@Zz_Dreamer]

best video you guys have made in a while

[@volcomdude44444]

my favorite rap group of all time! RIP phife :(

[@Akosa117]

For the first time in watchmojo history... I actually knew every song on the list

[@carlosmiranda8309]

good job watchmojo finally something worth watching

[@ededdneddy4ever34]

Should’ve waited to make this til after we got it from here thanks for your service came out. A few songs definitely deserve at least honorable mentions.

[@bmazin1377]

Yes finally I was waiting for this list

[@jeremy9306]

No love for Vibes and Stuff? WatchMojo don't have the vibes.

[@DickThicky]

That's one of my favorites! Just feel good music. Cant believe its not in the list too. About to go listen to it now...

[@neonspec]

I'm a huge fan. Can't freaking WAIT to hear the new record. R.I.P. Phife much love from the UK

[@Deftonedd4]

Love that more people get to hear about A tribe Called Quest - one of the best!

[@Diispaceyone]

[@TheMasterQuests]

dan camp The instrumental is one of there best efforts and not to mention the lyrics were great as always, the thing is when I hear lyrics to go I envision a fall night on the town

[@brianbarrow5198]

"Butter" is one of those song the never gets old

[@prideroseborough6282]

BEST TOP 10 EVER!!! Thank you.

[@Rat_Poobrain]

The Chase Part II should've been somewhere on this list.

[@GabeReal9009]

Yup, love that joint.

[@Diispaceyone]

yess!

[@SpaceGod718]

Yea, that was a funky joint right there.👌

[@ericstrickland4357]

Yeeeeeesss!!!!! My fave

[@thexiafury3104]

Most underrated tribe song in my opinion.

[@acidlactose4528]

Where is "Lyrics to go"?

[@ZerqeeKrushy661]

Thank You Mojo For This, It Made Me Tear Up (':

[@jafetlugo8782]

We got the jazz, hands down my favorite

[@freeflaminginfinite917]

Damn yo! Entire youth just came rushing back!! These cats are totally going back in my car!

[@EffortlessCool2]

The Tribe has never seen a single cent from Can I Kick It? Lou Reed told them they could use his track but wouldn't split the profits.

[@eldridgeisswagtv]

Really?

[@peelslowly28]

@@eldridgeisswagtv there's a bit more to the story than that. Tribe's label at the time were supposed to get the sample cleared by Reed. But whatever they did fucked it up royally which led Reed to not share the royalties with the group at all. Phife has lamented about this saying that he doesn't hold it against Reed cuz it was his art and he could've easily taken the song away from them but he didn't.

[@eldridgeisswagtv]

Castrik NM damnnn that’s crazy. thanks for the knowledge! 🙌🏾

[@peelslowly28]

@@eldridgeisswagtv yw, I do believe it's important especially in an age where it's easy as shit to get it. (And yet some fools still can't)

[@oglesbytimothy11]

Electric Relaxation is my personal favorite but cmon WM Scenario is they're best song ever

[@CrispyChrisss]

A YO THAT KID IS NOICCCCCCCCCE. Seriously though, this list is really good. I only have one problem, "1nce again" should have been on the list instead of an honorable mention

[@carlospaniagua1018]

hell yeah

[@samreuben862]

I thought the same about 'Stressed Out'

[@angrypizzawwe2966]

1.Scenario Ft Busta Rhymes 2.Can I Kick It? 3.Check The Rime 4.Eletric Relaxation 5.Jazz We've Got 6.Buggin Out 7.Find A Way 8.Award Tour 9.Oh My God Ft Busta Rhymes 10.Bonita AppleBum

[@jaredandreatta8144]

Scenario is one of my favorite songs ever. Everyone went off in that song. Timeless man.

[@reginaldwilliams4593]

i still listen to them to this day

[@WhoaNellyJake]

Best rap group of all time in my opinion.

[@WhoaNellyJake]

@Nugget Boi Wu-Tang is my second favorite. If not my favorite...I have so much Wu-Wear in my closet now haha

[@B4byf4c3k1ll4]

R.I.P phife dawg you were a true legend 🙏🏽

[@chicagoakland]

Much respect for shouting out the samples too. That's part of what made ATCQ so great.

[@donovantaylor9878]

Been waiting on a video like this for a while now. Lol

[@pepe3540]

Award Tour is the first thing I listen to when starting an ATCQ mix. Love them all but my favorites are never the crows favs, bit disappointing not seeing 1nce Agagin, Like it like that or Stir it up there but nice of you to do a hip hop list like tribe. Need more.

[@CWL121412]

can't disagree that check the rhime isn't the top pick, but I hoped they would have talked about Excursions, cuz of the bass is what got me hooked to the group

[@alanmunoz1499]

FACTZ!!!

[@ZzgravityzZ]

Dave Mirras BMX 2 for PS2 had bugging out on the soundtrack and ever since then I've been a Tribe Fan

Idk, the song has really no direction

[@brandonmartin4758]

Lyrics to go and God lives through some my favorites

[@elezzywan]

aah, when music had a story and made sense :)

[@DomV123]

No excessive "nigga" and not talking about killing people, real rap

[@joshuaslaughter8239]

+literal cancer yes it's about the use of the N word it's actually really meaningful

[@jxseph5408]

am I the only one who likes the "oh my god (remix)" more than the original?

[@KarateDungeon]

So random that you guys uploaded this, I just started getting into these guys. Their music is pure bliss

[@Annilationation]

I won't take any rap top 10 that WatchMojo makes seriously after that Kendrick Lamar one.

[@naoarranjeinenhumnomemelhor]

And the 2Pac one...Oh god

[@Zz_Dreamer]

what everyone has a different opinion. they agreed on their own top ten.

[@BassoonFluteLuva]

Then you should have voted on the list

[@marcobazan4187]

Sing about Me number 7, and Swimming Pools Kendrick's best song according to them

[@naoarranjeinenhumnomemelhor]

marco bazan Hahahha what a fucking joke

[@SexyButCurious]

My sister listen to them in the 90s so I grew up hearing their music because of her!

[@tammyr.5203]

Great list, WatchMojo! I'm a huge ATCQ fan and the list did them a lot of justice!

[@solomoncasado708]
