Album Notes A Tribe Called Quest: Phife, Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Jarobi. Additional personnel: Faith Evans (vocals); Trugoy, Leaders Of The New School, Charlie Brown, Dinco D., Busta Rhymes (rap vocals). Producers: A Tribe Called Quest, Hoods, Q-Tip, The Ummah. Includes liner notes by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds. Digitally remastered by Tom Coyne (1999, Sterling Sound). 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. 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." Of 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&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."

Reviews  The Anthology - a great sampling of Tribe's best A Tribe Called Quest is an incredible group. Q-Tip and Phife Dog really know how to throw down some smooth, classic songs. These guys pumped out several incredible CD's in their decade of music-making in the 90's, and they're still just as fresh-sounding as when they came out. However, if you're not able to find or purchase all their albums, you might ask, is there one album that contains some of A Tribe Called Quest's greatest hits, and gives a good snapshot of the kind of group they are and the music they make? With The Anthology, the answer is yes. The CD contains a fine sampling of the group's finest, although some classics are left out - however, this is understandable, as you can only include so many songs on one CD. More well-known songs such as "Check the Rhime," "Can I Kick It?," and "Award Tour," and other great songs sampled from all their albums; also, Q-Tip's latest hit "Vivrant Thing" is included, as well as ATCQ's underground rarity "If the Papes Come." In summary, this album gives a great snapshot of the jazz-infused, body-moving hip-hop that is A Tribe Called Quest. I would recommend this buy to anyone.
