format=Ogg "Jazz (We've Got)" was the second single from
A Tribe Called Quest 's second albumThe Low End Theory . Buggin' Out was not a single but a segment of the song appeared in the video. The sequences from "Jazz (We've Got)" are in black and white, while the "Buggin' Out" sequences are in full color. It Samples Green Dolphin Street bySonny Lester Music Video
In the video, the group travels around the city while rapping about the beauty of
jazz . Q-tip starts off the first verse followed by Phife, who rhymes after the second chorus. After Q-Tip's second verse, he pauses and says, "now check it out", at which point, the music stops and Ali asks, "check what out?". Phife answers with, "check THIS out" and the video shifts into color for "Buggin' Out" and Phife begins rappin' his verse. During the "Buggin' Out" sequence, the two emcees are wearing eye caps that make their eyeballs appear very large. After half of the song is performed the music stops, and the video once again cuts to black and white, with Q-Tip finishing his rhyme from "Buggin' Out" as a freestyle.Remix
A remix (called a re-recording) was done for Jazz (We've Got) and was featured on
