It has nothing to do with the message these artist want to spread, its about whats "popular". Quite frankly, people wanna listen to hollow ass artists like lady gaga or black eyed peas.
Q-tip dont ever stop makin music homie. fuck da haters and da crooked ass record exetcutives. they on some bullshit. you are part of da reason hip hop is what it is today. peace and God bless
I just found out the video was a tribute to Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" and it samples Jackson 5's "Dancing Machine." Talk about homage to Michael!
I'd call it a tribute before calling it a ripoff. Q-Tip is a legend himself. Any music that is sampled or mimicked is complimented and immortalized. RIP MJ.
I can truly say that this track epitomizes the idea of true hip-hop. I have loved Q-Tip ever since his days with A Tribe Called Quest. He's an amazing lyricist. "The Renaissance" is an amazing record, I highly recommend it. Did anyone notice that this video is reminiscent of MJ's "Rock with You"?
immmmmm so tired of u fuckin lames still stuck on pac n biggie and pun....its 09 there r new rappers n a new style.....in my opinion some of the rappers now go harder den pac biggie or pun....n fuckin pun had 1 fuckin song..so get off his dick...n stop hatein....if u cant do that then stfu n go back to 95'

The white man that still control the music industry wont rotate this music often because it will cause the niggers to wake up and they keep playing the other music to keep us acting and doing things a certain way. Also the reason why sex songs are important is because they want us to produce more slave in order for the european americans to continue the lifestyle they are accustomed to in America. I bet a nigger is saying that this is wac and this is for white folks.
q-tip and a tribe called quest IS hip hop,i cant stand these artificial rappers these days,fukin soulja boy,50 cent,lil wayne,wateva,all they talk about is pimpin and hoes and rolling on rims and shit,bring back death row days,biggie and pac would be upstairs laughing hard
i met him in a restaurant late one nite in jersey and he was alone....i went up too him and spoke and he spoke back but he is tall...im 6'2" and he was right beside me or a little bit taller...so he is tall
Yo Q-Tip has always came with some hot shit I been bumpin this on repeat. Dilla did his thing on the beat too with the Jackson 5 sample! I gotta hit the mall and buy a copy of his album!
See! This is what hip-hop is! Infectious. Superb wordplay. And the ability to make you move. Then again, this is Q-Tip. Shouldn't really be a surprise, right?
Hell yeah this is the shit...maybe this song might be the key to--Hip Hop come back..hopefully rappers out there listen to this and start doing real music..great vid and song 5/5 :)
There be some old skool heads up in this joint tonite. This is ill, perfect antidote to Lil Wayne and all those Shawtys Who Wanna Fuck (as good as that might be). Props from Old Hampshire.
This track is hott! Definately should be your next single! The Renaissance track is crazy too! You are real hip-hop! Thank you...Be peaceful. Marcus Chavers
Did Nigel Godrich end up doing any work on this album? I remember hearing that he was supposed to be acting as a producer but I'm looking at the liner notes right now and I don't see his name anywhere.
I'm about halfway through the album so far and it's pretty good.

Q-tip's Renaissance Album is on of the best Hip-Hop albums of the past 7 years....But still No Radio Aiplay??!!
Any black Artist with any intelligence or the slightest political reference in their music, gets ZERO radio airplay...
Our important musical messages are being censored & replaced with: sex, nightclubs & materialism.
