Without question the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s, A Tribe Called Quest jump-started and perfected the Hip Hop alternative to hardcore and gangsta rap. In essence, they abandoned the macho posturing rap music had been constructed upon and focused instead on abstract philosophy and message tracks. (Bio by John Bush continued @ Allmusic)
