Remember back in the day when Hip Hop respected women and sistahs were referred to as Queens instead of video hos? In this Tribe Called Quest video, the female sex object is dressed completely from head to toe. All the other females in the video are dressed similarly.
There actually was a time in Hip Hop when females didn’t have to remove their clothes in videos to be considered sexy. Then Beyonce happened to the music industry – and the rest is history.
HA HA HA @ Then Beyonce … Right … You Mean .. LUKE .. Doo Doo Brown (Frank-ski) … Lil Kim .. Supahead was suggin Dyck when Beyonce had a Unibrown and was on Star Search …
AND I’M NOT EVEN A BEYONCE FAN .. I done tole yall I can’t get past her ghetto azz name.
BEST ATCQ song. I used wait for this video to come on Video Music Box….love it!
Ha!Ha! I remeber Video Music Box, I use to request H-town Knocking the Boots!!!
But back to the subject I miss real Hip-Hop! I love ATCQ, I just recently bought my tickets to the Nas concert featuring Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica & DJ Green Lantern I cant wait.,
Okay you remember “The Box” you couldn’t request songs on video music box.
@ topic I love that Tribe called quest song. Can’t say that Bey changed the game but she is a big enough star to change it back. I remember the Freak like me video was considered risk-y. And all A. Howard had on was a pair of red pun pun shorts.
Lol@ Kymystry and getting over her “ghetto ass name” – touché
I loved this jam and Tribe in general….

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Okay, the BOX Geeeeesssssh!!!!!!lol!
In all fairness Sandra, that was the style of dress back in the day. Even the females wore baggy clothes, Timberlands, etc. The video was keeping up with the general style of dress.
~sidebar~ I am SOOOOOO homesick after watching this video. NEW YORK STAND UP!!
@ bk2atl … I’m from Dirty Jerzey … New Jeruselum… So can I stand up too ? ? ? ….lol
Hip Hop didn’t start dis respecting women….women started disrespecting themsleves.
Video girls in Baby got back, Trina and em have the game where it is right now. People are more interested in making money..I cried for hip-hop so many times ova
@ bk2atl
setting drink down, standing up, arms overhead running out on the floor “thats my song” while Kid Capri cuts it up
This is my ABSOULTE favorite song by ATCQ and this is easily in my top ten of all time hip hop songs. As far as Beyonce` starting the naked video girl trend PUHLEEEEEZE ! Please stop the hate on B, it’s really getting tiring !
Lol @ Mizzdallas…
I’m not saying I’m just saying….
But does anybody remember the shout outs on video music box….
“I want to give a shout out to my boo… you know who you are.”
Or how about (my new york metro area) flavor video’s with Bobby Simmons… Not on cable but on the chanel 25 or something. Somewhere on the U chanel’s my goodness remember the U dial..
