The 100 Greatest Native Tongues Songs

#11. A Tribe Called Quest f/ Leaders of the New School & Kid Hood "Scenario (Remix)"
Year: 1992
Produced By: 12"
Album: A Tribe Called Quest
Label: Jive
It's called a remix, but we all know that it's technically a whole new song. There are several versions of "Scenario," in addition to the LP version and this remix, that were recorded with a rotating guest list; a few rough drafts were leaked on the Internet last year. None of those alternates can even remotely compare to the "7 MCs Remix." Guest rapper Hood, who was murdered only days after recording his verse, steals the show with a rugged nonstop flow, but Phife and Dinco D also rip the track to pieces. Oh, and the track—it's like something off of Long Live the Kane on steroids.

#63 used to be my joint...bumped it in the whip constantly...that is an example of a hip-hop song that is perfected, stripped down beats and rhymes....crazy

I don't care who you are—if you were even remotely curious about the process of producing hip-hop music, your mind was blown the second you realized that Tribe had turned Minnie Ripperton's whistle-pitch vocals into an instrument ^^^^^ This.
