| | A Tribe Called Quest Hits, Rarities & Remixes CD A Tribe Called Quest Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The hits aptly display the breadth of the Tribe songbook, from the inexplicable and brilliant western road ballad "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" to the swinging party of "Scenario." The schoolyard rhymes of "Check The Rhyme" rubs shoulders with the straightforward lyrical chops of "Award Tour" and the stone groove of "Electric Relaxation." On the newly released tracks, Q-Tip and Phife trade off in classic style, balancing the playful with the gravely serious on "Mr. Incognito," while the Abstrac' relates a sly story on "The Night He Got Caught." HITS, RARITES & REMIXES handily documents the history of these prominent hip-hop innovators.
While universally recognized as the cream of the hip-hop canon, A Tribe Called Quest may somehow be underappreciated. Expert jazz-hip-hop fusionists, Native Tongue poets, College Radio darlings, proponents of the Afrocentric movement, rap hitmakers; it's actually rather incredible to think of all the paths they've trod, even more incredible to think that Q-Tip was still sleeping on a relative's couch after multiple major label releases. HITS, RARITIES & REMIXES perfectly chronicles the group's memorable, witty, subtly crafted oeuvre, mixing up the hits with a couple of remixes and sharp new tracks.
Remixed Hits + Several Unrel. Tracks.

Emerging on the cusp of the '90s, Tribe quickly became that decade's hip-hop icons. While Phife, Q-Tip, and Ali displayed unquestionable lyrical skills, they possessed a social consciousness that eschewed thuggish gangsta sensibilities, more concerned with communication than "street" bravado. ...

Hits, Rarities & Remixes music CDs
$12.19
AND THEN THERE WAS X was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and "Party Up" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance.
No other rapper exerts quite as much energy as Def Jam heavyweight DMX. With his adrenaline-pumped hip-hop anthems, Yonkers native DMX has taken the hip-hop industry by storm. His third album, AND THEN THERE WAS X came only one year after his highly-anticipated second album, FLESH OF MY FLESH..., which came only six months after his multi-platinum debut, IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT. With this series of rapid-fire releases, DMX was able to remain on the cutting edge of rap.
"What's My Name?" perhaps most clearly demonstrates the power of the Ruff ...

Hits, Rarities & Remixes CD music
$15.45
The Ace label's astonishingly deep dig into the vaults of Detroit music maven Dave Hamilton continues on this fifth volume, which as the title states is dedicated to the funk (or funk-oriented soul) he was involved in recording in Detroit between the mid-'60s and mid-'70s. Despite the wealth of tracks in which Hamilton had a hand, he never did experience much success as a music entrepreneur, and it's no surprise that few of the artists on this compilation will be familiar to funk fans, even collectors (unless you count Hamilton himself, who was the artist of record on five tracks). In part, that's also because about half of this material was previously unissued, though the other half did find release on small labels. Though what's here is not going to challenge James Brown or Funkadelic in significance (and in fact is sometimes quite derivative of those exact two artists), it's diverse, often eccentric (if sometimes generic) funk that is often worth a listen. James Brown imitations, for instance, don't get much hotter or accurate than Billy Garner's "Brand New Girl, Pt. 1." Johnny Walker's instrumental "Funky Trip" is as strange as psychedelic-influenced funk gets, with a bellowing ship foghorn threatening to submerge everything else in the track at points. Hamilton's own "The Deacons" is a little like a garage Booker T. & the MG's, with a cool low-budget choked organ sound. The influences of bands like Dyke & the Blazers is obvious in some other tracks, yet the cuts often have a raw, unself-conscious edge -- as well as unpredictable bits of jazz, psychedelic rock, blues, blaxploitation, and sound effects floating around that are untutored even by the standards of many obscure local funk productions. It's still only for the deep ...
