Hit Single: “Chief Rocka” ( Here Come the Lords) With their uniquely jazz-like beats and soothing rap style, Tribe made the nineties a particularly great time for group artistry and holds a spot for one of the best songs to come out of the 90s. They put macho-ism on the back burners, and instead brought forth very lucid songs that took on social issues. Coming straight out of Queens, NY, A Tribe called Quest brought a unique sound and attitude during a surging era of hip-hop aggression in the nineties. Kicking off the list are the undisputed kings of flow.

Arguably, the world hasn’t seen the likes of these hip hop groups since the 1990s. Finding the ideal combination of flows, tones, and personalities has long been the hip-hop version of unearthing a flawless diamond. To sum it up, it was dope.Īs hip hop has progressed, however, the art of a perfect group dynamic seems to have all but faded away. Rappers took the mold set by groups of the eighties and expanded it with Shakespearean artistry on the mic, rhythmic flows, and beautiful harmonies. During the 90s, fresh faces ushered in a golden age of hip hop groups to boomboxes and headphones worldwide.
