Tribe Called Quest - similar groups

[imported_!@#$%]

I was wondering if anyone could throw out some names of some hip hop groups with a similiar sound to Tribe. I am not real big on Hip Hop except when it comes to them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

De La Soul
Tribe are pretty goddamn unique as far as hip hop goes. Also theyre style varied a bit over the years. Which is your favorite album?

OLD black eyed peas

I have heard some of the old Black Eye Peas stuff and I didnt like much of it. I saw them live back in 1996 and they werent very good then. They certaintly have good commercial but I think I like their commercial stuff better than their old which is unusual for me.

I have heard De La Soul, they are very good. Any more?

hieroglyphics is somewhat similar, you might dig their vibe

 

[Vickie Smith]

Binary Star is bad ass. Little Brother is similar too. Leaders of the New School are old (busta ryhmes group back in the day)

 

[permafrost]

De la Soul

 

[violetviolet]

Del the Funky Homosapien, Brand Nubian and Large Professor...

The Roots is a good call, and maybe Jurassic 5, but thats kinda pushing it in similarity to Tribe, but J5 is good none the less

Digable Planets = FILTHY

 

[The Big Boss]

Leaders of the New School - Busta Bust nigga

That jazzy, east-coast bump is hard to find.

No one has really sounded like that in a long time. Do you like the B-boys or Busta Rhymes?

IMO, De la soul's new stuff is too serious and it's lost the aloof humor.
