A Tribe Called Quest was an influential hip hop group of the 1990s, originally formed in Queens, New York City in 1985. The group is comprised of
Q-Tip,
Phife Dawg, and DJ
Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member,
Jarobi White, was an intermittent collaborator appearing on their first album, but he left the group soon after, although he is mentioned as a 'sometimes' member on their third album liner notes. Along with
De La Soul, the group was a central part of the
Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective.
