In late January, Q-Tip proved his remix prowess beyond a shadow of a doubt, bringing a trio of wildly different talents together to revamp his Renaissance Rap. Though this latest remix doesn’t have the strange-on-paper, great-in-execution surprise factor of its predecessor, the tried-and-true talent brought to bear here is undeniable, and the results should appeal especially to the old school set. This version of We Love, We Fight pushes Tip’s original opening verse to the middle of the cut, leaving him flanked by Kanye West and GOOD Music emcee Consequence. The combination of a emcee/producer now famous for tackling hellish relationship problems and a longtime Tribe collaborator (not to mention Tip’s cousin) over a subtly revamped version of the Abstract’s mellow instrumental seems destined to yield hip-hop gold, and it does, though some might miss the pop appeal Raphael Saadiq brought to the original. Fans can currently catch Q-Tip touring in support of his latest LP, The Renaissance.

Ye and Con are obviously a good fit on this track wit the production. The production is real nice, but I can see where some would get bored with it. Good enough for my rotation, nice chillin vibe.

Q-Tip + Kanye + Consequence=banger! Thats the bottom line the original was good and this is even more improved. The produciton is relaxing and the hook is hot. Not much else to say..this is smooth!

Consequence flow was so hot! Kanye is gettin better with time. Q-Tip did an amazing job with the sing-a-longs in the hook!
Nice to see some changes, makin it a real remix. I do miss Saadiq though! |

@sommi - I encourage you to leave more feedback next time, especially when it accompanies a low-end rating like a "1" [for a record that has received mostly 4's and 5's.] Thanks for joining the Booth.

Amazing track for the first half. Kanye always blows me away with how well he flows with the beat, there's a strong sense of musicality to it (I think a lot of people forgotten how good Kanye is due to his ever evolving style). Q-Tip's bars were right up there with Kanye's, except his little hook in the middle dragged on a little too much. AND that drew away from the feel set earlier on. I actually felt Con`s verses did not suit the track as well as the other two.

This song is great to just chill out to, which is exactly what I'm doing right now. Kanye is just on a different level than most rappers (or musicians in general).
Based on Q-Tips recent showing on the Booth, I look forward to hearing his album. Should be good. |

Agree with MusicMan, Kanye is on a different level at the moment. He is head & shoulders above any other musician currently (Chris Martin from Coldplay would be the only musician I would consider being on Kanye's level currently).
All 3 were more then solid on this & I really dug the chilled production. |

Everyone is great on here. The production is smooth, and Yeezy flows really well with this beat. I miss the Raphael Saadiq vocals, though.

True Classic Hip Hop!!! I can vibe to this all day.
Flow by Q-Tip was on point as expected. Kanye delivered with that classic energy. And Consequences flow made it almost the perfect collab. This is definately a banger! |

The "Problem" with tracks like this is that listeners like dude sommi wait to see if it will have an anthem like feel and be radio ready, instead of listening to the lyrics, production, overall vibe of the song. Good music right here.

1st listen last week i wasnt really feelin it, but i was kinda out of it at the time too. after 2nd listen, def feelin it, super close to classic, but i can understand some of the members sayin it can get boring. i think the production holds this jus below a 5 for me

I too hope that a Kanye rap album is in the makes. As for this, it's really chill, which isn't really my thing. But for what it's worth, it's Banger.

This is mos def an upgrade from original...I can't tell in the copy I have if the guitar in the background is an upgrade with that classic song (a lil west coast perhaps??)
They all rocked it but the chorus goes on too long which I can see bored some people. Overall 4.5 but rounding down cuz of the chorus |
