How A Tribe Called Quest Changed Hip-Hop With Scenario
Once upon a time near the end of the 80s, knowledge became one of the most valuable commodities in hip-hop. Increasing levels of violence and poverty not only instigated a resentment between people of color and the American system, but also a desire for a greater cultural awareness. People wanted to know where they came from and hip-hop as a culture was beginning to realize that it was more than just dope beats and flashy cars.
With the help of their friends from the Leaders of the New School and Native Tongues, A Tribe Called Quest ushered in this change with a genre-shifting smash from their 1991 classic, The Low End Theory.

"And here we are, three young black man doing something positive".
The fact that they thrived under that pressure on their shoulders, which is admirable it self considering the racism in USA, putting that in the form of art in such an impactful way. Truly amazing
Snoop's debut was actually on Deep Cover. That was impactful, too. Leaders was out before Low End Theory, but Scenario is what really blew Busta up. That's when he became a superstar.
Excellent video. I saw this a year ago and didn't comment as a fellow YouTube content creator I gotta say that you are one of the best channels I've come across. Peace to you.
Beautiful breakdown
Grew up listening to tribe! Still one of my favorite groups to this day
loved the vid as someone who's only recently got into them but damn no love for charlie brown? his turn was the one that first hooked me
R.I.P Phyphe.
It's like we took ten steps forward then 1,000 steps back
Scenario is just the quintessential hip-hop track. It’s a bouncy, high-energy beat, and incredibly clever lyrics and wordplay. A classic.
Loved when scenario was in 2K15

What a very succinct, yet stoping to underscore the "tour de force". What I had only understood unconsciously I now understand cerebrally. thank you
Gracias.
Tribe are The Beatles of hip hop.
it's crazy to me, this is the first CD I bought ever,( I'm a poor white person) it's great to see it celebrated
I have a playlist of my fave old rap and there is an 1 hour and a half of just a tribe
This was so beautifully edited
I remember they played this song for many years thru the 90s. Basically my anthem for elementary school!
Excellent video. I saw this a year ago and didn't comment as a fellow YouTube content creator I gotta say that you are one of the best channels I've come across. Peace to you.

Just a shame Charlie Brown is on the track, he has no grasp on mcing and his content is literally lifted from nursery rhymes.
