Background


The song contains samples of "I'm Your Pal" by Gary Burton and "Chocolate Nuisance" by Cannonball Adderley (note the dialogue heard throughout the track), while the chorus is sung by Tammy Lucas. The song is the first A Tribe Called Quest single to feature production by the late Jay Dee,[1] a member of The Ummah.

The chorus is a recreation of the chorus from "Check the Rhime", a previous single from the group's second album The Low End Theory. "1nce Again" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1997, however the group lost to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's "Tha Crossroads".[2]


Music video


The music video, released in August 1996, begins with the group recreating the "Check the Rhime" video, with a crowd cheering. However, Phife notices that the police have come to arrest them, so the group runs into a dry cleaning store to hide. In the video, the group runs through different sections of the store while rapping. Tammy Lucas is also present in the store singing the chorus. At the end of the video, the police see the group running away up a flight of stairs. The group get onto the roof, at night, and they jump off the building as the video ends. Busta Rhymes makes an appearance in the music video.
