How do you get an otherwise shitty artist a record deal? It helps if you're a childhood friend of both Michael and Jermaine Jackson. And that your dad is Berry Gordy - CEO of Motown Records.

[Q-TIP]
People give your ears so I be sublime
It's enjoyable to know you in the concubinz
Niggaz' take off your coats, Ladies act like gems
Sit down Indian style as we recite these hymns
See, lyrically I'm Mario Andretti on the mo-mo
Ludicrously speedy or infectious with the slow-mo
Heard me in the eighties J. Beez on the promo
In my never endin' quest to get the paper on the caper
But now, let me take it to the Queens side
I'm takin' it to Brooklyn side
All the residential Quester's who invade the air
Hold up a second son cuz' we almost there
You can be a black man and lose all your soul
You can be white 'n' blue but don't crap the roll
See my shit is universal if you got knowledge or dolo
Of delf for self, see there's no one else
Who can drop it on the angle, acute at that
So, do dat' do dat' doo dat' dat' dat' (COME ON)
Do dat' do dat' doo dat' dat' dat' (OK)
Do dat' do dat' doo dat' dat' dat'
I'm buggin' out but let me get back `cuz they wettin' niggaz'
So run and tell the others `cuz we are the brothas'
I learned how to build mic's in my workshop class
So give me this award and let's not make it the last

[PHIFE]
Back in `89 I simply slid into place
Buddy, Buddy, Buddy all up in your face
Alot of kids was bustin' rhymes but they had no taste
Some said Quest was Wack, but now is that the case
I have a quest to have a mic' in my hand
Without that, it's like Kryptonite and Superman
So Shaheed come in with the sugar cuts
Phife Dawg's my name but on stage call me Dynomutt
When was the last time you heard the Phifer sloppy
Lyrics anonymous, you'll never hear me copy
Top notch baby, never comin' less
Sky's the limit, you got's to believe up in Quest
Sit back relax, get up off the path
If not that, here's the dancefloor, come move that ass
Non believer's you can check the stats
I roll with Shaheed and the brotha Abstract
Niggaz' know the time when Quest is in the jam
I never let a statue tell me how nice I am
Comin' with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees
Livin' mad phat like an oversized mam-pi
The wackest crews try to dis, it makes me laugh
When my track record's longer than a DC-20 aircraft
So next time that you think you want somethin' here
Make somethin' differ, take that garbage to St. Elsewhere

damn monkies, ya'lll sure dig on the great ol' Motown and downtown classics....remember this in the early 70's, used to spend the lunch money on comics and 45's.....

(wonder what Japan was like in the 70's...)they had a lot fewer Harley's, Fender Strats, and tube amplifiers "made in USA" than they do now, that's fer sure.....

Grew up on the Spinners.
I guess Motown was my first style of music that I enjoyed.

this is one of my favorite songs!

...but this isn't quite right. they've looped the basic beat over and over for the introduction and the bridge and there's extra horns in a couple places. the original's maybe 2:30 long, and structured just like the classic motown singles (8 bar intro).

maybe this is a DJ re-edit from a northern soul club?

done and done girl of the swamp.

put 1961 instead of 60's (although i think this is the 1986 rerelease video)

I attempted to edit your tags, but I get an error message because of the "&" in the field. It also won't let me add apostrophes.

Great song
