Tragedy struck on March 22, 2016 when Phife Dawg died due to complications resulting from his diabetes. Nevertheless, in August 2016, L.A Reid, CEO of Epic Records, announced that a new album from the group was coming out. This album (reportedly their final album, [[WordOfGod according to Q-Tip]]), ''We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service'', was released on November 11, 2016. The 16-track double album features not only verses from Phife Dawg recorded before his death and Jarobi White rapping for the first time, but features from many rappers and artists from the past and present, including Music/KendrickLamar, [[Music/OutKast André 3000]], Music/KanyeWest, Music/EltonJohn, Anderson .Paak, Music/JackWhite, and Consequence. The remaining members of the group played on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' the day after the album released. The album itself is a tribute and dedicated to Phife Dawg, who picked out its title; while the other members reportedly didn't understand its meaning at the time, they chose to keep it after Phife's death.

death.

[[WordOfGod According to Q-Tip]], ''We Got It from Here...'' is the group's final album. However, he also announced plans for a final world tour, to promote the album and honor Phife, before permanently disbanding. They eventually made several festival appearances throughout summer 2017; their final concert was on September 9, 2017 at Bestival in Dorset, England. A short film based on the album's opening track, "The Space Program", was released in March 2018 and billed as the group's final video.

Around the time of the album's release, it was announced that a new Phife Dawg solo album, mostly completed before his death, would be seeing release. While his wife stated that it would be released in early 2017, it eventually came out in 2022 under the title ''Forever''.

It is composed of rapper/producer Q-Tip (Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, formerly Jonathan Davis), rapper Phife Dawg (Malik Taylor), and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, rapper Jarobi White, left the group after their first album but rejoined the group since 2006. The group is regarded as iconic pioneers of alternative hip hop music, having helped to pave the way for innovative hip-hop artists. Allmusic calls them "the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s".

Along with Music/DeLaSoul, Music/QueenLatifah and the Jungle Brothers, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective. Their innovative fusing of hip hop and jazz has had a lasting impact on hip hop music, helping to expand the art of hip hop production. Many of their songs, such as "Bonita Applebum", "Can I Kick It?", "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", "Scenario", "Check the Rhime", "Jazz (We've Got)", "Award Tour", and "Electric Relaxation" are regarded as classics.

They released five albums in eight years (the first in 1990; the last in 1998), and although the first three [=LPs=] were highly acclaimed, the group disbanded in 1998, [[https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2011/07/26/138584427/a-tribe-called-quest-the-rise-and-fall-of-hip-hops-beatles attributing their split]] to [[MusicIsPolitics record label politics]] and the changing scene of the hip hop world with the popularity of groups shifting to solo rappers. In 2006, the group reunited, and five years later, a documentary about the group, ''Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest'', was also made, and it was directed by Creator/MichaelRapaport. The group played several shows on Music/KanyeWest's Yeezus Tour in 2013 and then stepped out of the spotlight before reuniting again on November 13, 2015 on ''Series/TheTonightShow'' in wake of the Paris terrorist attacks. Feeling "charged", they subsequently decided to put aside their differences and secretly record a new album.

* BookEnds: Their entire recording career may be a worthy example. At the beginning of ''People's Instinctive Travels...'' a (newborn?) baby is heard crying, and at the very end of ''We Got It From from Here...'' the name of a deceased person (Phife Dawg!) is being chanted.
* ControlFreak: In ''Beats ''Beats, Rhymes & and Life'' (The Movie) Phife, Ali and their old manager say that Q-Tip is/was this.



* GrandFinale: ''We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service'' effectively serves as one for the band's career.
* JerkAss: Judging from ''Beats, Rhymes & Life'' (The Movie) Q-Tip shifted from InnocentlyInsensitive to this.

* RecordProducer: Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed almost exclusively produced everything the Tribe put out. The exceptions are their three-year period between 1996-1999 with their production crew "The Ummah",[[note]] Music/JDilla, Tip, Ali Shaheed, D'Angelo, & Raphael Saadiq[[/note]] and ''We Got From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service'' featured various guest producers and composers, including Elton John and Kanye West.[[note]] This was due to Ali Shaheed largely being tied up composing the score for ''Series/LukeCage2016''[[/note]]

* TakeThat: Subverted. Check The Rhyme seemingly has a dig at MC Hammer, at the end for being a pop sellout with the final lyrics being "Rap is not Pop, if you call it that then STOP". However, Q-Tip was actually ''[[http://www.moovmnt.com/2009/04/19/exclusive-q-tip-interview/#.WnE5xWjT7rd defending]]'' Hammer's place in hip hop with that couplet, and checking everyone else who was calling Hammer a pop artist. Unfortunately, Hammer took it the wrong way, and dissed the Tribe on "Break 'Em Off Something Propa."
