I wish Q-Tip would scissor kick this interviewer. His tank is filled with sugar and his head is filled with inane questions. Undoubtedly, the worst interviewer ever.
Man, I'm so glad that Tip answered his questions! He could have been like "kid, you just don't know what you're talking about." He answered the question with authority.
see Hip Hop will never leave me cuz I grew in the cracks of the 90s and tasted the earyl 00s but real talk last year I went to this joint at the Fillmore it was headed by Wale, J Cole came through John Forte was there and some other cats during break time a screen was rolled down and it showed you graffiti trains and old New York the essence of Hip Hop was there the people near me was from Norway or Sweden and had that old school vibe ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hip Hop is alive just reincarnating
Why would you ask why should your generation get into what q-Tip is bringin. He answered it himself: when we have rappers like Soulja Boy and Young Berg. Thats why you should get into q-tip. Cummon reporter you your head
:51to 2:10 summarized my feelings of hip hop.im just 16 so im not gonna BS and say i know everything there is to know about hip hop but im constantly learning more by going back and listening to the stuff before my time, and its insane how much higher the standards were back then compared to now. im sick of having to dwell in the past to find true hip hop rather than look to the future
im not black and lately ive been really into hip hop but im not some young noob
im aspiring to rap when im older
Q Tip is a legend in my eyes, he has a great voice in rap, singing, and even talking, so articulate. to me, he is up there with KRS, Rakim, Pac, Big L and Biggie as well as Jay Z and Nas
his contribution to hip hop with Tribe Called Quest is staggering
LOL, the interviewer is retarded. Im 19!! and i LOVE a Tribe Called quest. Who cares how old you are lol. I listen to music from the 60's to the 90's. And i wish Soulja Boy would fall off a bridge. You speakin to Q-Tip and dissin him in front of his face.
@blackezi3 damn right...that stupid ass interviewer was acting like his generation of music was the shit compared to Q-Tips generation. You gonna say that kind of shit to fucking Q-Tip? Get the fuck out of here. That guy is a little bitch.
I hope you know that Common is a staple of hip-hop in general, just as Q-Tip is, though I'd probably give more precedence to Q-Tip. Common has been around for ages. And though I'm not the biggest fan of Kanye as an MC, you probably, at the very least, like a couple of songs that he's made the beat to, PROBABLY. Maybe every single song you like has NOTHING to do w/ Kanye. But as far as Common goes, he's been around for a while. He's just transcended that age gap. Well, in my opinion he has.
@desidynamite786 Yeah man...i wouldn't even consider Common as part of the new shit generation. He's been around since the 90's and he actually has his own sound unlike all the others. He's definetely no Q-Tip but i give him respect. Kanye west may have a few decent songs but the only kind of legend he will ever be is a legendary dick.
@angryhobo212 It's history in the sense that it's something important that has been, they have released tracks that had influenced the music or art, and therefor they are a part of hip hop history. I don't think I understand what you mean. It was a very good question he asked, and it was provocative, and it's suppose to be. I assume you were referring to his "Why should we listen to your music when we got all of these good artists in our own generation already" question.
aint nothing a jump off im free to like who i want where i want tha prob is you nigres and earhustler think this a game i tried is the evedence check me out you can ask me for your right but ye for me
ATCQ and Q-Tip changed my oppinion about hip-hop. Its something tha tcomes from you heart, and mind, not what u see everyday only. Tip is not just a regular rapper, Hes making music not only lines.... I am happy that in these dark times of hip-hop there is still some one who feels about hip-hop who loves making it... Respect Q-Tip, De La, ATCQ, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common..... list goes on...
this is probably one of my favorite interviews of all time. tip comes off as down-to-earth to me and i respect that he's not riding on the coattails of his times with tribe and saying that today hip hop has absolutely no great artists etc.
q tip has a lot of great things to say, but the questions are kind of lame. q tip makes the questions sound more open ended than they really were...qtip is great in this though
yea he does. he doest seem to put forth with all his intention a solid answer on his opinion of the state of things, but its a better response than it could have been.
What he did was so very influential.. My brothers who are now in their 30's and 40's were playing this at home when thay were 16, 17 years old...it was passed on to me and i say passed on because it was an honor to to have such wonderful and positive music shown and introduced to me...all that, Zulu nation, De la Soul, Guru, Queen latifa and public Enemy.
They were the start for me...And i'm so happy that i'm aware of it today...Sometimes it's about a time and place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man this guy sucks at doing interviews among other things...
i brought renaissance today and played it five times front to back already. i was going out on a limb because i was in target looking at cd's, and none of the shit out seemed good to me, so i saw qtip and i was like fuck it. i wasn't a fan of qtip before because of the song vivrant thing(remix)but now im a huge fan.
this faggot needs to gtfo and be replaced by someone else. just look at qtips body language, he's uncomfortable
the thing about being 20 y/o is a cop. out. how dare he. they couldn't find anyone better than this?!? I'm his age and i'm all over atcq... ugh... q tips answer was tactful tho...
These interviewers don't know shit. I'm 23 right? and my thing is if i was sittin next to tip i would KNOW HE IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO PIONEERED REAL HIP HOP MUSIC. now that being said why don;t they ask better questions???
I enjoyed your video, If you need help getting your video exposed i use a service at Tubeviews . Net They offer views, ratings, and comments. They helped my video get ranked on the first page
Q-tip is probably now one of the most influential MC's if you look at the success of Kanye, without Q-tip and tribe u wouldn't have kanye, common, lupe and the decent hip-hop (mainly underground!)
The interviewers didn't really know much about q-tip, a bit weak! Before you interview Q-tip do research, it is embarrassing. Q-tip wants to make a living as he was conned while in tribe by the music industry, then Arista gave him bullshit after amplified, even dilla was conned on that tip..
I would call lil Wayne creative. I mean nobody was doing that vocoder $hit b4 him. He really created an original style for himself. Even though its high pitched annoying and nonsensical, u cant call him uncreative. That being said, i hate a lil wayne haha.
Yea your right, others used it before him. But after he did, every single other rapper tried to too. But auto tune was actually not what i was referring too when i said his style was original, i was talking about his actual rap technique. His flow voice and style are pretty original if you ask me, even though, as i said its largely annoying and nonsensical. There is no other rapper that really sounds like him. whatever, idk why we'r debating bad music when we all clearly listen to good music
i dislike lil wayne but i dnt hate, and he hasn't created da Autotune shit alot of ppl like madonna use it research it... and by da way i hate da vocoder shyt lmao
Wayne wasnt the first rapper to use autotune...SNoop was!! They called him gay for that shit for a minute...but when wayne did it everyone else followed.
@ricmen1890 yeah, that's true...and actually, they were using auto-tune in the late seventies and eighties....they called it synthesizing back then though
im glad i wasn't the only one who thought the interviewers were lame i'm 20 going on 21 and I know all about ATCQ and its hard not to hear rappers like common, kanye west, lupe, talib etc not give tribute to rappers like ATCQ in there songs maybe they should have done a little more research about their interviewer or found somebody older at least
the interviewer needs to hear kanye or andre 3000 give q-tip/tribe credit for being influential.oh and common ain't that much younger than tip.i dug the chick better too.
Its kind of sad. I am glad I am 24 alomst 25. By being a little older I remember tip back in late eighties with songs like Buddy and the dance song he was in the video with a floating head. Tribe Called Quest aka Tip and Phife influenced mad folks like Lupe, Talib, Kayne, Mos Def, and others. Only true hip hop heads not rap folks understand.
The song "Buddy " was De la Soul. he was guest on the track. It wasn't just Tip and Phife don't forget about Ali Shaheed Muhammed and Jarobi but he left the group. I'm glad people in their 20's are hip to old skool. it was real shit!
Haha, Q-Tip's looking at the interviewer half the time like he's a fucking idiot. He had no business being in the same room with a legend, nevertheless asking him questions.
I'm glad Q-Tip released "The Renaissance" at a time like this, where lyricism has to dominate again in the mainstream.
Yeah, I live in New York, so I could definitely catch Q-Tip at a club around here. Wish I could talk to him. I saw Ali Shaheed Muhammad at the Apple Store in Soho one time. I was starstruck when I was talking to him, which thinking back was insane, because he was the coolest cat. Real easygoing. Anyway, Tribe forever.
Speak the truth, Q-Tip. Drop some knowledge, baby. One of the best and underrated MCs of all time. Listen up everyone, let's resurrect 90s hip hop; let's start the movement.
Yes. 1992 when Scenario came out I was 8 years old and I remember walking back in forth
in front of Sam Goodies when it was at Security Square Mall looking at the cassette tape. Then asking my mom can I please have this tape. Old School Busta Rhymes with Leaders of the New School.
To start, I am not against gays, but that guy gave me the willies, extreme gayness showing. He did a really bad job on interviewing QTip and does not seem to know hip-hop culture at all.
This interview happened just months ago. Homeboy is 20 years old. Q-tip was graduating when homeboy was born??? Meaning Q-Tip is approximately 40 years old?!?!?!? Nah! He looks 23! Lol! But I guess he is a classic! Looks are deceiving.
I've always known good music when I've heard it, even as a lil' chica in ponytails...so I was always a big Tribe fan because I feel like they're talking to me. Good music does that; it speaks to something deep within, and not only speaks to it, but confirms it, and takes you on a journey to you. When an artist "gets you", without even knowing you, you automatically feel a kinship. U don't have to ask, you just know.
that interviewer is a fuckin gay. im the same age as that fool and i know more about hip hop. i think if you truly have soul you'll know whats up. i dont care if the crowd doesnt follow this type of hip hop becaause i rather have people liking it for what it is rather than people liking it for a trend or bandwagon.
Stupid interviewer. I am 19 and I started loving HipHop by listening to Ice-T, Run-DMC and Ice Cube.
How can say he was unable to follow that Tribe music? If I had kids, I'd show them that true HipHop stuff from back then, cause they NEED to be aware of that music.
He's a lazy, ignorant prick for talking about HIS generation.
Either you really LOVE MUSIC, or you are fickle and lazy. That's word.
i just feel extremely uncomfortable watching these two in this interview... anyway, glad to see q-tip back with another album... which is a damn good album by the way..
he mentions slick rick in top 3 of all time thean talks about material the artist has put out and quantity but slick rick only did one good album the great advenures and maybey behind bars he really has not put out that much material and biggie only had 2 albums whatever man i respect his decision and thats his opinion my personal choice is Chuck D and Black though but I have yet to pick a 3rd the greatest rapper at the moment to me is Blu today that is
The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is like a top 5 or 10 all time best Hip-Hop album. He was also apart of this sort of well known single called "La Di Da Di". Maybe you have heard of it!
hey guys! i appreciate the comments. im the girl in the video that is sitting next to the main interviewer, ian. i know it's a crazy question to ask TIP if he's still relevant, and even some of the other questions may have beeen crazy, but this interview was for allthatsfab and our demographics include young women from ages 16-25 that mostly listen to pop and R&B and stuff, so unfortunately some of our readers dont have the knowledge of legends such as q-tip himself. as 4 myself i love TIP & TCQ
Then your intent should have been to educate your audience. Instead you guys put TIP in the position of having to "sell" his career, what nerve. TIP is to hip-hop what Miles Davis was to jazz, and those who truely appreciate hiphop will inevitabley listen to his body of work.
he's defnitely a legend, but you have to admit he doesn't get as much recognition for his talent as he should. not saying that he had to SELL his career, sorry if it came off like that
What's up with your boy nomercy? Mexicano fronting like he's a white boy. That self-delusion may fly down in Mexico but come up to the US and try hanging with some REAL white boys and you'll get treated like Fez on That 70's Show. Up here, we deal with the same racial/ethnic discrimination as Latinos regardless of our color or musical preference. It's a different world up here, vato. We need unity and positive reinforcement. Squash the negativity, homie. You're f'ing up Q-Tips interview. Peace.
Q-Tip was the better half of the 2 front rappers of ATCQ. His voice is phenomenal over a smooth hip-hop jazz beat. As soft as he may sound, he's a bad muthafucka. ATCQ crossed cultural lines and got mad people into hip-hop, in it's truest form. If you ain't digging ATCQ, you don't know the essence of hip-hop, you're bopping your head but you can't feel the music in your soul--with your fake, perpetrating ass.
nah, its just i've had mixed vibes with his music and with out a doubt he has a very strange voice (and his character). something just aint right nothing personal just the way i view him.
That album is the thang, son! but the Go New York song was straight up garbage, I hope he doesn't go that way, cos that's some Black Eyed Peas singysongy thrash!
Maldito racista, aprendes como no ser tan ignorante. Lo que eres es un covadre, y eres tan estupudo que no sobes que nosotros los Afrolatinos vamos a exponer a todos ustedes los racistas en la comunicda hispana!...Clown!

Tu ves que to lo que eres es un maldito idota, tu nos envidia a nosotros por nuestra innovación y talento!Clown!

Q-tip is probably now one of the most influential MC's if you look at the success of Kanye, without Q-tip and tribe u wouldn't have kanye, common, lupe and the decent hip-hop (mainly underground!)
The interviewers didn't really know much about q-tip, a bit weak! Before you interview Q-tip do research, it is embarrassing. Q-tip wants to make a living as he was conned while in tribe by the music industry, then Arista gave him bullshit after amplified, even dilla was conned on that tip..

He Talks About The Lack Of Creativity In Hip Hop Now Though He Puts Lil Wayne On The Record..
wewillwin9999 3 years ago
I would call lil Wayne creative. I mean nobody was doing that vocoder $hit b4 him. He really created an original style for himself. Even though its high pitched annoying and nonsensical, u cant call him uncreative. That being said, i hate a lil wayne haha.

Not really
T-Pain trademarked that shit..
wewillwin9999 3 years ago 4
yeah wayne sucks but dont give him credit for what t-pain did first. wayne himself admitted he bit from tpain
spnut69 3 years ago 3
Yea your right, others used it before him. But after he did, every single other rapper tried to too. But auto tune was actually not what i was referring too when i said his style was original, i was talking about his actual rap technique. His flow voice and style are pretty original if you ask me, even though, as i said its largely annoying and nonsensical. There is no other rapper that really sounds like him. whatever, idk why we'r debating bad music when we all clearly listen to good music

i dislike lil wayne but i dnt hate, and he hasn't created da Autotune shit alot of ppl like madonna use it research it... and by da way i hate da vocoder shyt lmao
scarfaceJR13 2 years ago
Roger Troutman, Teddy Reily,...to name only two who used the vocoda to its fullest. Created Classic upon Classic.
The Era has passed, it is a novelty.
The Industry being flooded using the same techniques (not as effective),....Re-Invention? I dont think so, more like un-originality.
(with the exception of Kanye,...who solely used it as a tribute/experment)

im glad i wasn't the only one who thought the interviewers were lame i'm 20 going on 21 and I know all about ATCQ and its hard not to hear rappers like common, kanye west, lupe, talib etc not give tribute to rappers like ATCQ in there songs maybe they should have done a little more research about their interviewer or found somebody older at least

Its kind of sad. I am glad I am 24 alomst 25. By being a little older I remember tip back in late eighties with songs like Buddy and the dance song he was in the video with a floating head. Tribe Called Quest aka Tip and Phife influenced mad folks like Lupe, Talib, Kayne, Mos Def, and others. Only true hip hop heads not rap folks understand.
Empha84 3 years ago
The song "Buddy " was De la Soul. he was guest on the track. It wasn't just Tip and Phife don't forget about Ali Shaheed Muhammed and Jarobi but he left the group. I'm glad people in their 20's are hip to old skool. it was real shit!
damiononupsal 3 years ago
Haha, Q-Tip's looking at the interviewer half the time like he's a fucking idiot. He had no business being in the same room with a legend, nevertheless asking him questions.
I'm glad Q-Tip released "The Renaissance" at a time like this, where lyricism has to dominate again in the mainstream.

Empha84 3 years ago
Yeah, I live in New York, so I could definitely catch Q-Tip at a club around here. Wish I could talk to him. I saw Ali Shaheed Muhammad at the Apple Store in Soho one time. I was starstruck when I was talking to him, which thinking back was insane, because he was the coolest cat. Real easygoing. Anyway, Tribe forever.

Speak the truth, Q-Tip. Drop some knowledge, baby. One of the best and underrated MCs of all time. Listen up everyone, let's resurrect 90s hip hop; let's start the movement.

Yes. 1992 when Scenario came out I was 8 years old and I remember walking back in forth

labelkills887 3 years ago 2
I've always known good music when I've heard it, even as a lil' chica in ponytails...so I was always a big Tribe fan because I feel like they're talking to me. Good music does that; it speaks to something deep within, and not only speaks to it, but confirms it, and takes you on a journey to you. When an artist "gets you", without even knowing you, you automatically feel a kinship. U don't have to ask, you just know.

that interviewer is a fuckin gay. im the same age as that fool and i know more about hip hop. i think if you truly have soul you'll know whats up. i dont care if the crowd doesnt follow this type of hip hop becaause i rather have people liking it for what it is rather than people liking it for a trend or bandwagon.

Stupid interviewer. I am 19 and I started loving HipHop by listening to Ice-T, Run-DMC and Ice Cube.
How can say he was unable to follow that Tribe music? If I had kids, I'd show them that true HipHop stuff from back then, cause they NEED to be aware of that music.
He's a lazy, ignorant prick for talking about HIS generation.
Either you really LOVE MUSIC, or you are fickle and lazy. That's word.

hey guys! i appreciate the comments. im the girl in the video that is sitting next to the main interviewer, ian. i know it's a crazy question to ask TIP if he's still relevant, and even some of the other questions may have beeen crazy, but this interview was for allthatsfab and our demographics include young women from ages 16-25 that mostly listen to pop and R&B and stuff, so unfortunately some of our readers dont have the knowledge of legends such as q-tip himself. as 4 myself i love TIP & TCQ
allthatsfab 3 years ago 4
Then your intent should have been to educate your audience. Instead you guys put TIP in the position of having to "sell" his career, what nerve. TIP is to hip-hop what Miles Davis was to jazz, and those who truely appreciate hiphop will inevitabley listen to his body of work.

Up here, we deal with the same racial/ethnic discrimination as Latinos regardless of our color or musical preference. It's a different world up here, vato. We need unity and positive reinforcement. Squash the negativity, homie. You're f'ing up Q-Tips interview. Peace.

Q-Tip was the better half of the 2 front rappers of ATCQ. His voice is phenomenal over a smooth hip-hop jazz beat. As soft as he may sound, he's a bad muthafucka. ATCQ crossed cultural lines and got mad people into hip-hop, in it's truest form. If you ain't digging ATCQ, you don't know the essence of hip-hop, you're bopping your head but you can't feel the music in your soul--with your fake, perpetrating ass.
