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. ANTHOLOGY opens with \"Check the Rhime\" from Tribe's masterful second album, THE LOW END THEORY. A quintessential Tribe cut, it features the trademark conversational interaction between Phife and Q-Tip, and observations that tell much about the group's philosophy, as Phife declares \"I'm far from a bully, and I ain't a punk\" and Q-Tip observes that \"knowledge is the key.\"\r\nOf course, Tribe was innovative and impressive straight out of the gate, as shown by its debut's warm love song \"Bonita Applebum,\" which mixes smooth '70s R\u0026amp;B with a sitar sample and the belief that \"love never dies.\" Pioneers of the jazz\/hip-hop alliance, Tribe sampled everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Lonnie Smith, achieving the complex, polyphonic tapestry of Public Enemy without the anger. ANTHOLOGY shows that Tribe was always able to find just the right elements to combine for the backdrop to their fast-moving raps. From the breezy jazz guitar chords of \"Electric Relaxation\" to the Average White Band horn section on \"Check the Rhime.\"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: POP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/26\/1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49258951049458,"sku":"CYC46J-YJTO-VH","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/a-tribe-called-quest-anthology_XV6K3.jpg?v=1779711256","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/anthology-3","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
