After watching his last two albums go unreleased, hip-hop pioneer Q-Tip left Arista Records for the greener pastures of Universal Motown. However, rather than gloat about his new and improved situation, the Tribe Called Quest front man titled his new single, Work It Out; an analysis of everything that is wrong with hip-hop these days. From one-hit wonders and greedy label execs, Q-Tip breaks down how he thinks the game can improve and it doesn’t include ring tone sales. Work It Out is a rather refreshing departure from the empty lyricism in much of today’s hip-hop, and belongs in every aficionado’s CD or iPod. Look out for more old-school flavor when his new appropriately titled album, The Renaissance, drops on December 19th.
YEAH I LIKE THIS JOINT Q-TIP WERE U BEEN U NEED TO COME WILL THOSE CLUB BANGERS. 1 DID ON THE VIOLATORS ALBUM . BUT YOU DOING YOUR THANG. OLD SCHOOL IS STILL AROUND
lmao cuz i was jus lookin at da vibe magazine n da back where da 20questions be at and dey was wonderin where dis nigga had been...wow funny! um yea "the renaissance" means the rebirth so his album is entitled the rebirth of hip hop. dats cute....i like it. its not single material cuz i can alrady tell u dey ant gon play dis on da radio n da A!
disapointed with this one, Qtip is one of my favorite Hip Hop artist along with Busta and Method man but this was straight up crap for me, yeah the words are good but everyone knows that when he is at his best, he has a bangin beat behind him, "seems like sabotage" thats what this should have been called lol! anyhow I can only give my boy a 5-10 and I might be pushin it!
