High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Tribe Called Quest was an American hiphop group, formed in 1985. They released five studio albums, thirteen singles and five video albums. The group is made up of rappers Q-Tip (Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, formerly Johnathan Davis), Phife Dawg (Malik Taylor) and DJ/ producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Ali was only persuaded to join when a fourth member, Jarobi White, joined the group. In 1989 they signed a demo deal with Geffen Records, but not given a fully-fledged recording contract. After receiving many offers, they opted for the Jive Records label, an independent rap label. In under a year, they managed to produce People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm to a lukewarm reception, reaching #91 on the Billboard 200, though it did achieve gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) . Their next album, The Low End Theory, helped shape alternative hip-hop in the 1990s.[2][3] It established a link between their hip hop based music and the jazz genre. It was a large success, and, on February 1, 1995, the RIAA certified the album platinum.
