a tribe called quest

Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. One of - if not the best - hip-hop groups to ever exist. Pioneers of the D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Sound Y'all) genre of hip-hop along with De La Soul. Also a part of the Native Tongues Posse. They forged the gratest hip-hop album of all time (IMO): "The Low End Theory"

"If knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock
With speed. I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
One hundred percent intelligent black child
My optic presentation sizzles the retina
How far must I go to gain respect? Ummmm
Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own
Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
Industry rule number four thousand and eighty:
Record company people are shady"

a tribe called quest

A rap group with lots of talent and intelligence.

It is almost guaranteed that if you let someone who only listens to rock music listen to them, they will like it because of their beats and lyrics. This is because rap nowadays is not as meaningful as it was during Quest's time.

I like a Tribe Called Quest, but not Yung Joc.

I'm sure you will too if you have a shred of intelligence
