Watch A Tribe Called Quest Honour Phife Dawg On SNL With New Music Live

A Tribe Called Quest pulled off a spectacular performance on SNL over the weekend.

Q-Tip and the remaining members of the group performed a brand new song We The People from their new album live for the first time.

We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service was released just a couple of days ago, and A Tribe Called Quest brought the house down on SNL with a performance that included the vocals of Phife Dawg eminating from a colourful banner that unfurled from the ceiling.

After Q-Tip performed his verse, he and Jarobi provided call-and-responses to Phife’s raps – also holding the mic up to his poster in what was a hugely emotional performance for all involved.

After that, the group performed another track from the new album called The Space Program with Busta Rhymes and Consequence.

We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service features a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including Jack White, Kendrick Lamar, Andre 3000, and Elton John.

Check out videos of both songs below.
