Hits, Rarities and Remixes

VINYL FORMAT. Over the course of five classic albums and numerous hit singles, A Tribe Called Quest established itself as a cornerstone artist in hip-hop and across contemporary music. People's Instinctive Travels and The Paths of Rhythm and The Love Movement, as well as the ground-breaking albums The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders and Beats, Rhymes & Life, created a unique legacy. Hits, Rarities & Remixes is the companion piece to A Tribe Called Quest: The Anthology. This new collection contains remixes of many of the classic Tribe hits, plus unreleased tracks from throughout their prestigious career. Many of these tracks were only issued on 12".

"Unquestionably one of the most influential acts in the history of hip-hop, the Tribe left behind them a legacy few could contend with and most have revered since their debut release. And while Hits, Rarities & Remixes is not as thorough a compilation as 1999's Anthology, it does offer highly sought-after tracks that are out of print, including a few that were featured exclusively on movie soundtracks. A good number of the crowd-favorite anthems that made Tribe one of the most adored groups of its time are featured here, and a few that were secret weapons in many a DJ crate during their initial release. What separates this collection from the earlier anthology is its ability to function as a comprehensive road map through the group's career for the inquisitive first-timer as well as offer up obscure tracks for the die-hard beat heads. And while serious fanatics will already have all of these releases on CD, it's well worth the purchase price to have them all in one place." - All Music Guide
