Only one hip hop group has ever had there actual song used as an intro to a television sitcom; A Tribe Called Quest. “The Wayans Brothers” used A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation” as their theme music for the opening credits. Historic in many aspects in regard to style, lyricism and sound, A Tribe Called Quest was everything to hip hop; not only for the music, but for the culture. Phife Dawg formed A Tribe Called Quest (originally called Quest) with Q-Tip in 1985. Metaphors and similes over a smooth jazzy bass line is what ATCQ brought to hip hop in the early 90’s and their sound is timeless. Great art is forever, and though gone in the human form, the contribution to not only the world of hip hop, but the world of music from Malik Isaac Taylor a.k.a. Phife Dawg will remain forever.
