Most non-diehard fans think of the artist Q-Tip first as a member of the legendary group A Tribe Called Quest, and second as a solo artist from whom they have waited years for new material. What casual (and some longtime) listeners probably fail to recognize, however, is Tip also possesses skills behind the boards and in front of two turntables. Out of the twelve songs on his new album, The Renaissance, only one doesn’t feature his behind-the scenes talents; that record is Move. Produced by the cherished J. Dilla, the single contains a sample from The Jackson Five’s hit record Dancing Machine, which reached #2 at Billboard back in 1972. In order for the Harlem native to reach the top of the charts 36 years later, simply pick up a copy of The Renaissance on your way to the voting booth on November 4.

The promo photo looks mad dope! I'm glad Q-Tip is keeping the old school alive with a new album. I really don't like the production on this too much, even though it has an awesome sample. I can always respect the old school and Q-Tip, but I just really wasn't moved by this track too much. The change-ups in the production on the second verse was pretty ill, but I can't really do more than put this in rotation for now. Maybe it will grow on me.

Q-Tip showed me he still has it with this joint. I was feeling the beat on here but thought at times there was a little to much going on in it. Loved how the beat changes on the second verse as previously stated.

I don't like this song, it's not my type at all. But for the club it's good, at least it's different from others! OK

Love the beat change on the second verse. But I agree with a few otheres, there is a lot going on at times during the song. I still like this Q jam a lot, he's definitely bringing it here. It's in the rotation.

This is live material! Love the production break down on the second verse!! It suddenly sounds so different and fresh yet allowing Q-Tip to shine more clearly: nice lyrics and flow!

WOW:) who are you to say whats garbage and what isnt? If you would prefer, Im sure I could break down all the artists that you think are good.. Let me take a quick stab, Soulja Boy Tell Em? Some A-Rab? Maybe a lil GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI MANE?!?! Perhaps even some CURRRTIIISSSS "50 Cent" Jackson (I should hope not, but the way you sound, I wouldnt put it past you) Come on now, music is not GOOD OR BAD, obviously there are different types of music that appeal to different types of people.
I personally like this track. Silky sample from the J5 by the way. |
