Which hip hop group released the 1991 single “Scenario”?

The story behind the answer

A Tribe Called Quest released the 1991 single “Scenario.”

The song appeared on the group’s second studio album, The Low End Theory, released in 1991. Q-Tip and Phife Dawg perform the main verses, while the song also features members of the Leaders of the New School, including Busta Rhymes, whose energetic closing verse became especially famous.

Produced by A Tribe Called Quest, “Scenario” is known for its lively group chemistry, jazz-influenced production, and call-and-response energy. It became one of the defining tracks of alternative and jazz rap in the early 1990s.

Some listeners identify “Scenario” only with Busta Rhymes because of his memorable appearance, but the recording is an A Tribe Called Quest single. It is also distinct from “Check the Rhime,” another major single from The Low End Theory.
