Classic HipHop tune: A Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out (Remix)
06 March 2009, 16:44 category: Net Finds
It's one of these rare cases when the remix beats the original by far (we think so, at least). A Tribe Called Quest is one of HipHop's staples when it comes to the deep and jazzy shizzle. There is a whole pile of artists this connotations apply to (say Gang Starr/Jazz Matazz, for one) but ATCQ is a good point to start from.
Even if you have never heard of ATCQ before, we're sure you all remember "Galvanize" by the ever-awesome Chemical Brothers: Q-Tip is the MC you're listening to on this one. He's one of those rappers with a clearly recognizable timbre and style - a feature lots of today's MC are missing.
Since we intend to run this web site a couple of more years to come, expect some further deep dives into the roots of House and soulful music in general.
The female part in the chorus is by Faith Evans, former wife of the Notorious B.I.G. (RIP!).
