'The Anthology is A Tribe Called Quest's 1999 greatest hits compilation spanning their entire career from 1989's Bonita Applebum to 1998's Find A Way. The compilation contains songs from all of their currently existing full-length catalogue, including People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, Beats, Rhymes and Life & The Love Movement. It also contains Q-Tip's Vivrant Thing, which was featured on the first music compilation for Violator Management. The song would also later be featured on Q-Tip's solo effort, Amplified.
In the UK, a limited edition album was released with a bonus remix CD.
The album was accompanied by The Video Anthology, a DVD release which contained most of the group's videos. However, the DVD was lackluster to many fans, with its unexplained omissions of Hot Sex and Stressed Out with Faith Evans. It is believed that these videos were omitted for legal issues. Hot Sex is originally from the soundtrack for the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang, and there may have been issues with Faith Evans and/or her management clearing her appearance on Stressed Out. The videos are widely available online, regardless.
