Q-Tip - Gettin Up: Closed-Captioned

[taylz1200]

I just got this comment from you. That's how little I am aware of what's going on around youtube. Damn bro, I was being sarcastic. You couldn't tell that??? I made that comment because BET wouldn't play his video as it is. Q-tip and ATCQ are some of the greatest ever. ATCQ should be next to hip hop in the dictionary!!! That's how much I love them. Peace bro.

[tomidlak]

this is absolutely hypnotic! his album was one of my 2008's favourite.

[AfroPower28]

this is a good mornin to a better day hip hop joint

[mpbest9]

Man... how could I have went thru life so long without knowing about Q-tip, or tribe, or nature... or any of it? Glad I found it.

[teasha811]

I love this song! this was the song my ex picked out as our song. even though we aren't together anymore it still brings back good old fuzzy moments.... Good times :)

[thelegace34]

i absolutely love this song.

[elavate7]

smooth bass!

[joedgillis]

still looks and sounds fresh. Consistantly high quality work

[janahdan]

thank you Q...

[Now1You1Know]

This song is perfect. Ladies listen closely to the lyrics how can you not fall in love with a guy is talking to you like this?

[130902cn]

Q tip first outfit is so funny i love this dude

[UndergroundAuthority]

love this shit.... love the comments couldnt agree more.....u rocking with the most high

[cherrycookiegirl]

feel good song i luv it :D

[MrGrizzban]

Q-tip will always be the most true to the game.

[elavate7]

i agree!!!!!!!!! this is real hip hop right here!

[dsportnissan]

i meant falling into the crowd or following the crowd, it seems like all these newer cats have lost respect for the art of being a lyricist!!!!!!

[SLOPEinc]

you guys got some names for artists like this guy? normally i dont listen to music like this. but i like it.

[T2435665792329860202]

its sad he has potential he still has not adapted to

new rap hip hop

[dsportnissan]

adapt how? can't sound like every other rap artist out their and that's the problem as it is and that's why hip hop has gotten stale and boring. Everybody uses the same formula and nobody stands out. I like this joint!!

[unirvrsl]

you must be from eastern europe! You don't have a clue, buddy! I hope you don't say these things in front of people....you should thank goodness you can express yourself on-line & get feedback on your idiotic comment! Q-tip is top 3 of all time if not #1

[deirhese66]

this is some good music, listen to Krayzie Bone also, he is the best rapper in my opinion. A lot of other good rappers don't get me wrong. God bless

[MusicCityMiracle]

this sucks...i remember when q-

tip was actually good.

[cincyj48]

You really hav 2 really listen 2 Wayne and he saids the same shit that most rappers in da game like Mike Jones, TI, Rick Ross, playaz circle, and Plies. I dont lik none of them bcause They're talkin about the same shit. I lik Kanye, Lupe, saigon, eminem, Q-tip, and Redman bcause they talk about whats goin on in life.

[Amsterdam005ify]

why everbody gotta hate wayne so easy cuz everbody does..not that i like the guy so much but...damn people stop hatin start inovatin

[dsportnissan]

why is the term hatin used so loosely? nobody here is hatin and nobody is trying to prevent wayne from doing anything...that's hatin! first off wayne is lame and people like to hear something other than the same mindless shit he spits most of the time, no variety and people are tired of it...so now do you understand? innovating is something none of these cats are doing right now, just following a formula and not falling into the crowd...boring!

[jojothafreashguy]

wear can i buy a hat like that  at 0:16

[NSAshow]

Go on Ebay search Micheal Jackson Red Jacket lol

[jojothafreashguy]

i said hat not jacket man lol1

[jojothafreashguy]

hot ass song tip im on men lol keep doin yo thing

[cincyj48]

I'm sure u never heard the blackout 2 but redman was killin it on that album i know mef was on the tracks but this decade red is betta than mef even though i like mef more than red.

[cincyj48]

Top 5 MCs today is:

1. Kanye West

2. Eminem

3. Q-tip

4. Ludacris

5. Redman

the reason i don't have Wanye is he sucks balls.

[Royalty814]

whens the last time you heard redman? not hatin on him but mc's today .........

He sampled this to i hate how ppl try to act like they played the notes when its a sample dont no were it came from but its at the end of a Wiz Khalifa song

[Royalty814]

Wiz Khalifa - Never ever  the samples a 4:00 even

[lovepeacenothate]

kanye are you kidding me he sucks massive dick!

[jojothafreashguy]

1. biggie smalls 2. red cafe

3. fabulous

4. big l

5.common

[deXrated]

wheres talib, mos, nas, lupe and a bunch of others? oh wayne sucks balls hard

[dsportnissan]

true artists and dudes that can play on words, lyrical and intelligent! wayne sucks! boring and I wish he would speak clear, we need standards and have expectations of artists instead of being made brain dead by listening to the same non stop bullshit artists they play right now... like plies "Becky" are you serious wtf! how did that happen. lol

[VirusBarrier]

cincyj48, he sucks balls yes... other ones balls...i dont like him either

[MrGrimezTheAntiHero]

That's a versatile selection dude.

So are you looking forwarding to Redman's Muddy Waters 2

[miksha82]

great track. gotta love Tip.

[kunifighter12]

THanks for UPLOADING!

[Jiguhbiduh]

TUNE!!!!

[crysisnov]

A Tribe Called Quest is one of the best hip-hop groups of all time

[3nr]

I'm with you on that one brotha!

[SLAPTVNEWERA]

dis should have won a grammy

[DotChannel]

@SLAPTVNEWERA

Well yeah. But nothing good ever wins Grammys, just crap like Lil' Wayne...who has won like what? 20 of them?

[MariosLasagna]

I listened to this song to relax my nerves before I asked out this 1 chick.

[Raniphae]

There aren't words for how attracted to him I am when he wears those glasses and that coon hat...

[dasdafoij]

really? i dont seem to understand it? it might be because im a guy.. but still.. glasses and a coon hat?

[Thehayfieldchannel]

I love this guy his music is amazing

[boringdayindalton1]

he isnt that famouse because he dosnt care about fame and thats why i like him

[thechoz1n1]

love Q-tip.....pick up the new Choz1n on mazon you will love it.

[wifiandy]

from a tribe called quest to solo - this guy has been the finish touch on any band and can only improve on his own, turning any lyrics into rhythmic sex!

[Jayroon123]

i don't understand why he isn't so famous.

that guy has so much style.

[Kiabop]

ikr, its all these dumb dances, and skinny jeans on boys rapping.. lol he is pretty famous, but not heard that much. i know people know him.

[Sandemose]

He is more about credibility, rather than fame it seems to me. Thats why he is so respected. My favorite jazzguitarists worked with him, Mike Moreno and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Q-tip obviously is about music, and therefor surround himself with musicians. Q-tip produced Kurts record "Heartcore". If you´re into instrumental jazz/electronica and such you should check him out. Best, Sandemose

[Afcanovic]

Q tip is a boss, very underrated..but this guy is responsible 4 da revultion 4 hiphop..

[CollinCalifornia]

Q-Tip Is A Legend!

[orant823]

q-tip is a real artist his words rhyme but mean alot i can do nothing but applaud this video and this artist

[HipHopPhenomenon823]

Comparin to the mainstream i could consider this being some real hip hop

[Evhizoe]

I like the way the girl dance @ 1:33..

she is pretty too ;)

[sodapop90210]

i dont know why but dude reminds me of wanda sykes

[Jkkmolina]

Wanda sykes is a handsome lesbo

[Kpunky89]

Q Tip is very very handsome

[tequillaroze7]

yo !! you gotta check this j - dilla track with this ill kat named tequilla roze called " long way to heaven "

[unirvrsl]

just when i think ive played it to many times i find something new i like about this trak and Q

[JaybayJay]

Love the Tip Vibe......

I like how the lovely ladies in his vids are

classy, pretty ladies....Not total skanks...anyone know who the pretty is at 1:32 and again at 2:25...

She kinda looks like Aliyah, poor gal <===

[AvoidAvoid]

the whole album is great. i took me a while to cop it but sometimes thats what happens. do the same. buy this.

[QueenChoc]

It's called You and I. The first line of the song goes You and i have an understanding. Lines Tip references in the song.

[djdiscover]

no shit, thats what I said 7 months ago!

[QueenChoc]

ok did'nt knw.

[QueenChoc]

The piano bit is a sample of Black Ivory's You and I.

[pmarth1]

I play this song when I'm playing Midnight Club 4 on the PS3 LOL

[oxIJMxo]

The Renaissance came out in 2008.

[11940ful]

Love him...he is soooo fine and sweet, it's sad that so many old skool rappers make a come back and they don't sell and sometimes ppl don't even know that they had some new work....It's soo sad...they need our support

[S1RCHARL3S]

my man right here

[MDIGENNARO]

One of the best mc's and producers of all time right here.....

[MrCarnubia]

[QueenChoc]

[alexg555]

[QueenChoc]

[clarkie246]

rastaman jammin in d back

[babyman10]

Q tip is still amazing, almost as if he gets better with age lol. imagine if a tribe called quest combined with the roots to form like the most amazing musical group in history!

[ImBlackerThenBlack]

[Ihatefemme5]

This is my song from last year and I still love playing this song. Wish they would play shit like this on radio.. Shit cant even listen to radio anymore. Tribe and Q are the best!

Bring females and lots of herb to his show and then.......HAHHAHAHAHAHA helllllll YEAHHHH Q-TIP IN THE HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSE

[noahsarcooo]

u idiots

yall dont know how many of "your neighborhood" rappers are gay

fuckin ignorants

instead of listening to what they have to say u discuss their sexuality

thats why soulja is makin millions and u get more and more stupid every day

i guess we deserve our charts when i listen to some idiots giving respected artists like q tip names...

get real yall

get real

[tariye1034]

i like how you diss it, but you cant do shit better. just shut up and cry somewhere else

[noahsarcooo]

people like you brought the negativity into hiphop...being black and discriminated should have thought u better!

when it all started out in NY it was dancers in brooklyn waacking, breaking,posing and vogueing together...peacefully...the gays, the latins and tha blacks...after gangstarap hiphop lost a big part of its appeal and the chance to influence in the right way...Q is in the tradition of true hip hop...he can wear whateva he wants ...how dare your looser as calling him names...get real!

[rabidninja]

Youre wrong. Big L, Biggie, Eazy E, Cube, old school three six mafia, boss, Ice T, sorry but youre just wrong on that sayin gangsta rap lost its appeal. Especially Big L. And there were still great npn gangsta rappers doin there thing at the same time.... Kool Keith comes to mind.

[rsachse]

one of the best songs of 08

[INFAMOUSNINJA1]

It dont matter how you dress all i know is tip always makes good music!

[Klygolajet]

madlib got the same sample :) in beat conducta

[0n3b1o0d]

whoa, in the first 30 seconds i was biting his shit, but i gotta say. FREEEEEEEEESH. this is a good song.

[telossucks]

this was sooo refreshing with all the bullshit rap out there.....he gave us a taste of 90's rap here thank you tip

[omgphil]

he looks like a bit of a fag, but it is brilliant.

[andyx1205]

Fuck you and all of the homophobics out there. How would you feel if blacks were still segregated, and interracial marriage was banned?

Besides, I'm sure Q-Tip gets more pussy than you.

[ChunkeyMunkeys]

yeah thats hella fucked up

[TehBlackGamer]

Why exactly? Because of an eccentric style of dress not common for a rapper?

[omgphil]

No, eccentricity is fine. There's just something about his manner.

I didn't mean "fag" in a homophobic way, just a bad choice of words.

[TehBlackGamer]

I see, don't worry about it. It gets under my skin when people make a big deal over different dressing rappers. It's like, one minute they're saying the baggy clothes are retarded and the next they say the eccentric style looks gay, you know? No hard feelings man.

[omgphil]

Yeahh totally understand - no worries. I've got much more respect for Q-Tip than conventional clichéd rappers.

[dimiii1]

ha is there another way to mean fag... i hate stupid people

[kabang654]

what the heck man? He is only brilliant not a faggot.

[thedodger1989]

To ynot217, Kamaal the Abstract is awesome. It's a fusion mix of rock and hip-hop. Another classic from the Abstract.

[DDvilshBass]

not rock jazz homie.

[ynot217]

Has anyone heard the new one that came out on sep 11th "Kamaal the Astract"? I am curious about how it sounds.

[HoneySuckleIncense]

one word:....

DOPE! :-D

[0peppers]

i like the davey croket hat :P

[Alphonzolio]

I bet he wears it cuz it kinda looks like a q-tip

[LeatherCladVegan]

Eh, nice hat Q... nice hat.

[homework178]

This song is great.

[camboule]

Great jam! good dancing too

[meggiebooboo09]

I love this song!!!! New york stand up...

[lianehtevird]

Alone or with A Tribe Called Quest, he is a legend! This new album is great and doesn't drift into 'sell-out' land....he stays true and has for the 19 years I've loved his music.

[crayZneZZ]

shadup and just listen to the dam song lol

[javaortiz3333]

this is a great song.

[Shinitkun]

Beautiful.

[savinamarie]

this shit is so ill.

[rojlord]

odd statement when you consider that not all black people call each other nigga or live in usa. people are culturally deficient if they're ignorant of context in which the word is used. if i call my brother a word as a term of endearment or in argument it is unlikely for one to accept an outsider doing the same thing fact! being ignorant is not exclusively a black trait. the world doesn't respect blacks because it has yet to acknowledge impact of slavery economically culturally and spiritually.

[Austin8411]

This my song forever.... This good music

[koldkilla4]

good to see after all these years q-tip kept his crazy ass style he didnt sell out 1 bit

[leandrobully]

this man is so good. really love what he's doing. reconise him...

[tameeka0907]

i fukkin LOVE OFF q-tip

[adean91]

i also think that white people also screwed up millions or even billions of peoples lives like asians, africans, indians, native americans, and even each other it so bad asian women will go to hell and back for white men because they think there gods, these women but a bunch of make up on trying to look as white as possible once again white people fucked over alot of people i mean im sortof ashamed to be half white

[adean91]

whats wrong with black people is actually black people i mean we kill each other so fast we put the klan and skin heads out of buisiness. i say having a slave mentality is whats wrong i mean u got blacks and africans that dont want to be black they want to be white i seriously see this alot in the south and out west i mean black girls telling me they this and that and they are not they just lyning they jus want to be anything else but black and african i seen will do anything for white people

[KimAndersonNE]

Happily killing black babies  maafa21 com

[truth583]

you guys need to chill.

this is just good hip hop music at its finest.

let the music be music.

peace and love

[andyx1205]

I've got a lot of black friends that agree that the Black Culture needs to be reformed. The youth needs to stop being poisoned, and hence, the propanda starts...by labelling blacks and dumbies, crooks, athletes, and singers. This needs to CHANGE.

People like MLK Jr fought to move the African-Americans FORWARD into society, and you need to follow that man and achieve that dream.

2Pac also did a speech when he was young, and he hit the spot by saying the problem is right in the black communtiy.

[blueserpien]

Andyx1205 you need to do more research before you waste your time on you tube ranting about black culture. There is true EVIL awake and working in our world to keep blacks and other minorities. Hell, America gave Shiro Ishii immunity for his war crimes and brought him to the United States to create AIDS! Look up Shiro Ishii or Unit 731 in Wikipedia and see for yourself. The reason black youth are still disadvantaged in society is because all of the programs put in place to keep them there.

[andyx1205]

And I think you need to get an education and stop believing in some bullshit conspiracies. Aids weren't invented in the lab, they were inherited from human contact with Apes, and slowly spread throughout the world.

The reason black youth are disadvantaged in society is because the Black community keeps on blaming the white man, when the problem is BLACK. That last line is STRAIGHT from 2pac's mouth.

[andyx1205]

There's a lot of bright young black kids who have great potential, but are unable to go anywhere with that potential because they'd rather join the NBA, or become a singer, or maybe a Quarterback. The Black Culture is no doubt the worst culture to emphasize on education compared to any other.

People like Lil Wayne, who rap about bling this and bling that, are not helping at all.

I suggest you try to listen some of Edo G's music, especially the song 'Wishing'.
