I haven’t taken the Q-Tip album out of the rotation since I copped, er, came up on it. This is the type joint that you play in the morning while you are on the toilet taking that 6am flush puffing on that 1am clip before you shower and brush your teeth to get at that 9am grind.‘The Renaissance’ is just a collection of good motivational music with some okay rhymes. It’s funny that I will never consider Q-Tip to be a top lyricist yet he still drops several quotable verses on all his records. Sonn is a man of the people. Do your thing mayne.

We Fight For Love

As a conversation sidebar, if I did get an interview with Q-Tip I would have to know why he didn’t show up for the Dilla tribute at Radio City Hall. His man CHRIS LIGHTY did say he was in NYC in the studio with Will.I.Am. I missed seeing Q-Tip and Busta at that show. I would pay my own money to see those dudes perform the ‘Scenario Remix’ live.
The album is the truth… some of those beats/sounds are def on some futuristic type ish…
I swore I was being pulled over during one of the songs…
I LOVE Q.TIP. We needed an album like this. Or at least, I did.
Good album… And a great summation of it… I was talking to Tip last Friday in the booth at Santos and realized I prematurely gave kudos to the album.
You want some good shit check out Blu’s latest project “Johnson & Jonson”. If you like Tip, you’ll love this. XXL promotions aside, dude is legit and a true schooler…
