The Native Tongues were comprised of some of the best Hip Hop MCs, producers and DJ's groups. They included: A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, Black Sheep, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Beatnuts, Money Love, Leaders of the New School and Jungle Brothers. Native Tongues were created when Q Tip a member of A Tribe Called Quest was scratching a New Birth record called African Cry where the singers sing,"they took our native tongue." He was in the studio with members of Jungle Brothers and De La Soul and collectively decided to form an alliance called Native Tongues after hearing it on the New Birth record. The Native Tongues expanded to people who would frequent their recording sessions and incubate new music collectively. They were afrocentric in a time when the musical genre allowed for Hip Hop acts to be unique and challenge themselves with lyrical content. This is a celebration of their collective influence on Hip Hop heads in the 90's.
