 Similar to De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising, People's Instinctive Travels was marked by a playful lyrical approach (as on the call-and-response inspired "Can I Kick It?"), light-hearted content (safe sex, vegetarianism, youthful experiences), and to a lesser extent, an idiosyncratic sense of humor, free from much of the posturing of both hardcore hip hop, and the more left-wing aspects of conscious hip hop. .Also of note, was the album's sample material, largely based around jazzy loops and snippets from artists such as Cannonball Adderley, Roy Ayers, Rotary Connection, and Les McCann.^ The single showcased Q-Tip’s smooth, spoken word style of lyricism over electric sampling courtesy of the psychedelic soul/funk band Rotary Connection.

.Following People's Instinctive Travels, the group continued to gather a loyal fan base through touring and guest appearances such as on De La Soul's "A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"". "Check the Rhime" was the lead single from the group's landmark second album, The Low End Theory, released on September 24, 1991. Based around a sample from Average White Band's "Love Your Life", the song largely established the now familiar tag-team interplay between Q-Tip and Phife, as until then, most of the group's songs had only featured vocals by Q-Tip.^ Low End Theory (2009) .

 By now, the group had mastered their pursuits of rare records from which to sample or gain ideas and inspiration. .Their innovative sampling, layering, and structuring of jazz records led many critics to label their style as jazz rap - a term which Q-Tip disapproved of, as although he felt it described groups such as Stetsasonic quite well, it misinterpreted Tribe themselves, who (aside from the song "Jazz (We've Got)") did not base most of their songs around the topic of jazz.^ With its fiercely intelligent, socially progressive lyrics and brilliant fusion of rap and jazz, the group emerged as one of the most popular and influential in all of hip-hop, producing such classic LPs as 1991's The Low End Theory and 1993's Midnight Marauders before disbanding in 1998.

 In the aftermath of their unqualified success, the group once again hit the road and contributed the song "Hot Sex" to the soundtrack for the Eddie Murphy vehicle Boomerang, in 1992.
Interrupting the proceedings was an encounter with New Jack Swing group Wreckx-N-Effect, who had taken an exception to some lines in the song "Jazz (We've Got)". Viewed as a premier New Jack Swing group, W-N-E had misinterpreted the following couplets by Phife as a sideway diss:
I'm all into my music cuz it's how I make papes
Tryin' to make hits, like Kid Capri mix tapes
Me sweat another? I do my own thing
Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing
The misunderstanding resulted in a melee in which Q-Tip sustained an injury to one of his eyes. .Thus, during the shooting of the promo clip for "Hot Sex", the rapper resorted to wearing a ski mask to cover up the abrasion.^ It is rumoured the strange mask Q-Tip wears in the video for “Hot Sex,” a song from the soundtrack to Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang , is to cover up the injuries.

Midnight Marauders

Main article: Midnight Marauders
.Trugoy of De La Soul appeared on the refrain of "Award Tour", the group's lead single from their third album Midnight Marauders, released on November 9, 1993. Coming on the heels of The Low End Theory, the album was highly anticipated and many were anxious to see if the group could maintain their artistic integrity in light of their commercial success.^ Midnight Marauders was certified platinum and proved to be a critical and commercial success for the group.

 The critics proved to be as enthusiastic about the new set as the fans were. Entertainment Weekly said the album "sounds as fresh as their first...rappers Phife and Q-Tip manage to hold attention without resorting to gun references or expletives..."[13] NME called it their "most complete work to date"[13] Likewise, Melody Maker said "A Tribe Called Quest have expanded their vision with a lyrical gravitas and a musical lightness of touch that has hitherto eluded them across a whole album".[13] The album was voted #21 by Village Voice in that year's Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.[13]
.Musically, Midnight Marauders built upon many of the ideas that were present on The Low End Theory, although the results were noticeably different, and the music was more immediate.^ Third album Midnight Marauders (1993) reached the Top Ten of the Billboard charts and was also widely praised, though most reviewers didn't consider it to be quite as good as The Low-End Theory .

.Lyrically, the album benefited from an even more confident duo in Phife Dawg and Q-Tip, whose nimble verbal interplay is utilized to its fullest on songs like "Electric Relaxation" and "Oh My God".

 Some of the other topics on the album are police harassment and nocturnal activity ("Midnight"), religious faith ("God Lives Through"), and hip hop itself, as on the song "We Can Get Down" where Phife asks:
How can a reverend preach, when a rev can't define
The music of our youth from 1979
We rap about what we see, meaning reality
From people bustin' caps and like Mandela being free
Not every MC be with the negativity
We have a slew of rappers pushin' positivity
Another song, the sometimes controversial "Sucka Nigga", deals with the candid use of the word "nigga". In the song, Q-Tip notes the negative purpose of the word but subsequently emphasizes its subjective nature when he says:
It means that we will never grow, you know the word dummy
Other niggas in the community think its crummy
But I don't, neither does the youth cause we
Em-brace adversity it goes right with the race
And being that we use it as a term of endearment
Niggas start to bug to the dome as where the fear went

 [15] The Source awarded it 4 out of 5 mics and called The Ummah "the most proficient in the rap game at using samples as instruments in themselves".[15] Despite his apparent lack of motivation Spin Magazine thought Phife sounded "tougher and more playful than ever", while Melody Maker saw the album as "providing both their best and worst thus far", and "magnetic yet frustrating".[15] In a 1998 farewell article in The Source, Questlove, drummer for The Roots, summarized the album's partially frosty reception:

 Fans were surprised, as the breakdown had been kept discreet. In an interview with The Source, the group cited their frustration with Jive Zomba as a significant factor in the breakup. Phife:
I felt like I was happy to be on, of course. .It took me a minute to latch on to the business side of things, 'cause it was just a happy-go-lucky time.^ Casual, he’s always busy, Del is always in the lab working, A-Plus just consistent with the beats, so you can always go to those guys and be like, “What’s new?” just to get a little spark.

 ^ Aside from that, it maybe helped me be organized in terms of my business, just going to school in general, but that’s about it.

The Love Movement was preceded by the fun-spirited "Find A Way"; a song memorable for its swirly otherworldly production and catchy staccato hook. It also received a stylish Paul Hunter-directed music video (the last video the group ever made). Musically, the somewhat somber tone of the previous album was largely absent and replaced by a familiar carefree optimism. .Tracks like "Give Me", with Noreaga exemplify the group's approach for much of the album.^ The "Moment of Truth" album came out in like '99 and they dropped a whole new element to their shit with the K-Ci and JoJo track "Royalty."

Solo ventures

Q-Tip

.Under the management of Violator, Q-Tip launched a mildly successful solo career, which saw two sizable hits ("Vivrant Thing", and "Breathe and Stop"), and the Gold-certified album, Amplified, released in 1999. Some saw Q-Tip's arguably radio-friendly material as pandering to the mainstream; something his former group was highly respected for avoiding during their run.^ It’s definitely soloable if you are careful about two things: .

 Unfortunately, Arista Records refused to release the album, fearing it would be unmarketable coming from a rapper. Undeterred, Q-Tip recorded 2005's Open, a slightly more accessible album, featuring contributions from André 3000, Common, and D'Angelo. Once again, the record was rejected by Arista, after which Q-Tip left the label. He subsequently signed to Motown/Universal and released The Renaissance in late 2008. Q-tip also was featured on a track for the soundtrack of Cadilac records song: "I'm a Man".

Phife Dawg

.Ironically, the most notable of Q-Tip's critics was Phife, who took his former partner to task on his solo album Ventilation: Da LP, released in 2000. The Hi-Tek-produced lead single, "Flawless", contained the lines "Go 'head, play yourself with them ho-like hooks / sing ballads if it's all about the Maxwell look" (an allusion to Q-Tip's then afro hairstyle).^ We’re still friends, I’m going to be working on Phife’s solo album.
