- Award Snub: After a heavily political, but nonetheless acclaimed performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards, which also doubled as a heartwarming tribute to Phife Dawg, Tribe fans, and especially Q-Tip were not happy to learn that We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service didn't get nominated for a single award the following year. Q-Tip in particular went on a social media rant accusing the Grammys of using ATCQ as nothing more than a tool to push an agenda to the general public.
- Even Better Sequel: The Low End Theory is generally seen as better than People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.
- Harsher in Hindsight: "When's the last time you heard a funky diabetic?" note
- Sampled Up: "Can I Kick It?" samples the bass line from "Walk On The Wild Side" from Transformer by Lou Reed; depending on where you go on the radio dial, it might be the only place you hear it.
- Signature Song:
- People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm: "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", "Bonita Applebum", and "Can I Kick It?"
- The Low End Theory: "Check the Rhime", "Jazz (We've Got)", and "Scenario"
- Midnight Marauders: "Award Tour", "Electric Relaxation", and "Oh My God"
- Beats, Rhymes and Life: "1nce Again" and "Stressed Out"
- The Love Movement: "Find A Way", "Like It Like That", and "Jazz (We've Got) (Re-Recording)"
- We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service: "The Space Program", "We the People....", "Solid Wall of Sound", and "Dis Generation"
- Sophomore Slump: Critics and interviewers would ask Q-Tip if he was scared of a "sophomore jinx". His response? "'Sophomore jinx?' What the fuck is that, I'm going to make The Low End Theory."
