DJ Jaycee With A Dungeon Family x A Tribe Called Quest Mashup (Video)

I know DJ Jaycee to be one of the best mixmasters and turntablists out here. If you know him and/or know about the deejay scene (esp. in Atlanta), I am not telling you anything new. However, you may not have been blessed enough to have had this pop up in your Facebook traffic. Like me. So, I will share #BecauseSharingIsCaring #BecauseJayceeIsDope

Something eargasmic happens when I decide to put one of my favorite Andre3000 verses over one of my favorite ATCQ tracks #DJJaycee #WeDF #NativeTongues #SoEargasmic #NoShoesInTheDryer 😉

A Tribe Called Quest – “The Space Program” (Video)

Feeling kinda melancholy about it all, but it’s time to call it a wrap for the 20-year comeback. Going out with a bang(er) though. Check out the last visual/single off the last ATCQ album (“We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service”)… This is for “The Space Program.”

Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Consequence Speak On ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ Being Snubbed By The Grammys (Video)

Could you file this in the ‘butthurt’ folder? You could, but that is an egregious oversimplification. Come on. Not even a ‘nomination’ for their last album? Whether or not you agree, ATCQ should at least be heard on this. Sway thought so…

Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Consequence of A Tribe Called Quest, stop by to talk about their last video and their collaboration with Billionaire Boys Club. They ended up getting into the Grammy’s Snub of their last album and what that meant.

Snubbed By The Grammys, But The Tribe’s Quest Goes On (Video)

Hmm… a lotta business being spoken of in this clip. Might want to pay attention to how you hustle to maintain. Tribe’s got a name folks recognize. But don’t think them dropping their last album means they’re ready for rest. Naaaaah, son. Recognize!

A Tribe Called Quest’s – “Dis Generation” (Video)

“We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” will likely be ATCQ’s last official project. Just won’t be the same without Phife Dawg (RIP). Continuing the line of best-for-last stuff (like that “We The People…”), the Tribe dropped dope black and white visuals for “Dis Generation.”

A Tribe Called Quest 2017 Grammy Performance (Video)

A Tribe Called Quest performed with a great message as always at the 2017 Grammy Music Awards alongside Anderson Paak, Busta Rhymes, & Consequence. Phife Dawg was also there in spirit!

A Tribe Called Quest – “We The People…” (Video)

Here’s the official music video for the dopeness ATCQ rocked SNL with last weekend; posted the Lyric Video and album link earlier on here. “We The People…” believe in our hearts that the Tribe will reign forever. Thus, real Hip-Hop will never die!

(And when Q-Tip spins to look at the empty spot at the mic near the end. Damn. Rest In Peace Phife. We miss you Dawg.)

Q-Tip Shows Gayle King His Home Studio, Record Collection And More (Video)

Okay, it would have been nice to get some dope backstage looks before the big ATCQ Saturday Night Live performance tonight. But we don’t have that. Oprah’s ol’ bestie Gayle got some other true behind-the-scenes stuff for us to watch while we wait though.

As A Tribe Called Quest releases “We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service,” its final album after an 18-year break, Gayle King gets a tour of Q-Tip’s home studio in New Jersey.

ALERT: We have a Statik Selektah sighting. Stat Diddy is in the building! Plus, there’s more of the GayleTip tour after the jump.

Gayle King Gets Stops By Q-Tip’s Home To Get The 4-1-1 On “…Thank You 4 Your Service” And More (Video)

Looking back always provides more insight. Watch as Q-Tip bears that truth out yet again. He tells Gayle King all about the coming up of A Tribe Called Quest, a lifelong friendship with Phife Dawg and much more. Jammed into such a short clip. Got the album that just dropped, and they have a live performance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. It’s an ATCQ weekend!!

Oh hell yeah we are ready for A Tribe Called Quest to take the Saturday Night Live stage tonight! Dave Chappelle is hosting, too?? Maaaannnn! If you are not there yet with the proper level of hypeness at the coming dopeness, listen up to what ATCQ put down in this “We The People…” jawn. Off the latest album “We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service.”

So good to hear Phife Dawg get down one more time #SpeakLifeToPhife

These are Hip-Hop hieroglyphics. Respect to Greg Poole. Been hearing good things about this happening, but this vid puts it in perspective. Back in the day… to now… on the Boulevard of Linden. A Tribe Called Quest. RIP Phife.

25 years after the release of their classic LP “Low End Theory,” watch as a mural honoring A Tribe Called Quest goes up at the site of their iconic 1991 video for “Check The Rhime.”

Nappy DJ Needles – “A Tribe Called Kast” (Mixtape)

a2249440916_10

This close… thiiiiis close to calling this a ‘mashtape’ – as in a mashup of ATCQ and Outkast tracks. Whatever it’s called, this Nappy DJ Needles mix definitely has something to say. If it were up to us, it’d say #SpeakLifeToPhife

A timely tribute to two of Hip-Hop’s greatest families – Dayglow meets Dungeon. Too bad that actual Tribe and Outkast project Andre 3K spoke of at Phife’s farewell ceremony never came to be. But heads do have this. Enjoy.

Phife – “Nutshell” (Video)

The family of Malik “Phife” Taylor have decided to see his wishes through; releasing music that he had been recording for his new album, “Give Thanks.”

Phife loved his fans, and was so excited for them to hear his new music.  I feel like he would have wanted it this way.
Deisha Taylor (Phife’s wife)

Deisha, along with Phife’s longtime friend and manager, Dion Liverpool, are leading with this J Dilla produced single, “Nutshell.”

The family will be donating 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the song to two organizations that were close to Phife’s heart, the American Diabetes Association and the National Kidney Foundation.

We still cannot believe it. With great sadness but fondly cherished memories and thankfulness in our hearts, we at JayForce.com salute the recently departed Phife (aka Malik Boyce Taylor). Hip-Hop Nation stand up, salute and reminisce. You could just surf this site, imagine all the Phife-related posts removed, and get an idea of how deep the loss of the Phifer cuts. But you know what, the Tribe’s Five-Footer is not ‘lost’ to us; nor will he ever be. Remember how he spoke to and spoke life to J Dilla and Baatin in the Hereafter in his “Dear Dilla” tribute track a while back? Family, you can do the same thing even now; to and for whomever you have lost. Through the tears that will eventually give way to joy from knowing him… in whatever way you see fit from now on, you can speak life to the Brother #SpeakLifeToPhife

Your 45-year struggle here is done: Rest In Peace, Phife.

(Think ESPN is the only network that can weave Hip-Hop into the broadcast ever so nicely? NO! Watch the dopest news-school tribute to our fallen, but forever fresh friend Phife Dawg. After the jump, there’s all that and then some!)
