“Scenario” is the third single from A Tribe Called Quest’s second album The Low End Theory (1991).

The song features members of Leaders of the New School. Matt Cibula of PopMatters called the track hip hop’s greatest posse cut. The music video features cameo appearances by Spike Lee, De La Soul, Brand Nubian, Busta Rhymes, Fab 5 Freddy and Redman.

A remixed version of “Scenario” appeared on the B-side of the 12-inch single and cassette single as well as the limited edition release of the group’s final album, The Love Movement (1998). The remix also features Leaders of the New School and newcomer rapper Kid Hood, who was later murdered 3 days after recording his verse on the remix. Blender magazine ranked the remix at number 216 in its list of “The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born”.[2]
