A Tribe Called Quest - The Anthology

"The Anthology" is A Tribe Called Quest's 1999 greatest hits compilation spanning their entire career. The compilation contains songs from all of their currently existing full-length catalog, including "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm", "The Low End Theory", "Midnight Marauders", "Beats, Rhymes and Life" and "The Love Movement", as well as select soundtrack releases. It also contains Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing", which was featured on the first music compilation for Violator Management through Violator Records/Def Jam Recordings. The song would also later be featured on Q-Tip's solo effort, 1999's "Amplified". "Vivrant Thing" is also substituted with "Mr. Incognito" for the Japan release. The album cover features Erykah Badu with fluorescent stripes of green and orange reminiscent of the traditional colors of the Kente tribe of the North Congo. .
