In honour of Q-Tip finally putting a record out I thought I'd try and write down my top ten A Tribe Called Quest songs. In order. Damn.

One of my favourite groups ever, who I must have spent as many hours listening to as any other band. Not easy to whittle down to just ten.

10. Mr. Muhammad
9. We Can Get Down
8. Butter
7. Scenario
6. Buggin' Out
5. Can I Kick It (Spirit Mix)
4. Youthful Expression
3. Lyrics To Go
2. If The Papes Come (Remix)
1. Vibes and Stuff

Vibes and Stuff picks itself. Its always been my favourite Tribe track or at least it has been since if came out. Before that it was If The Papes Come (Remix) so at least I've been consistent.

For the rest I just had to go on which tracks I'm the most hyped to hear when they come on. Looking at the list its a lot of the bassier tracks but I don't tend to think of Tribe having bass like that. At least not compared to EPMD or someone like that. For me, there's only a handful of rap acts that could put up a top ten on this level. I didn't even include Award Tour…

There's no Scenario (Remix), there's no Oh My God or Check The Rhime. Not for me at least. Not in my top ten.

What would you have? What wouldn't you have?
