Q-Tip Speaks On How Hip Has Changed From The Fans To Artist

[madcap2x]

carter 3 is awesome i dont give a shit

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

If other Rappers are afraid to say this then they're going to show their true colors if they don't sell records well. Throwing fits and all that. If they do then they're the ones that are blindly killing off a Culture of Hip Hop.

[BeenaBee]

no doubt these new rappers are terrible, they only have strength and power in white suburbia with the valley girls, in the hood they get no love whatsoever...

[itzillmatic]

Fake ass Lil Waynes could learn something from him.

[MariosLasagna]

I'm just glad all the old school artists did such an incredible job. I can send a shout out to 1000 Hip Hop artists and producers and be proud of taking the time to do so. Hip Hop culture is incredible to me.

[SOCRATES012]

Mind your own and get your own bitches

people stop saying BRING BACK THE GOLDEN ERA .. i know that would be a great day if that were to happen but face the facts, we are forever going to live in a world of mainstream bubblegum popcorn ass assholes the only hope we have is that the youth dont forget and keep shit alive and put they sons and daughters on to what is real... legends die when fans forget... thats all imma say

[dusttracks]

1,000,000% true

[LexyAAA]

Thats what make lil wayne sooo good he raps about stupid unimportant things (money,girls,&weed. fuck the intelligent shit (policitcal & social issues that are going on). Lets all just rap about the dumbest thing that comes to mind :).

[Ipunch1st]

@LexyAAA you crazy man... any body can do that...

[depoint4]

Amen!

[nina20021]

One...Q-tip comes from a time when hip was real music.....most of these "artist" put out shit that make them seem hard or gangsta. when half never even sold nothing or even killed a damn fly or whatever they claim to be doing. hip hop..rap... needs to get back to being about the music and not just the money. I agree wit you 100 Q..love ya since tribe called quest... if you don't like my comment who gives a fuck!

[xPLDxPunisher]

Where does somebody get off where they think that Q-Tip is a good name? Does his music clean my ears?

[Unicysis]

@xPLDxPunisher - Just as well, 'cause there is a lot of pop music wax that needs to be taken out.

[niniruthietalabi]

hell fukin yes y do these fake ass rappers always say dat shit...very fowl!

much ♥ 2 Qtip tho.

[xFYCNxSNPESOX]

why muthafuckas complain about music let them do they thing get off ther dicks

[dirtyplaya]

i feel you tip...bitch ass niggas who say they hip-hop(lil wanye,soulja boy ect) but they know they doin it for the money..fake as hell

[LilCoppa]

It's just the fucking South you guys.

Just three more years and they will be gone.

[yaboytreyy]

@LilCoppa sorry Its not just the south. Maybe in a way, because they have influenced other people. Like the new boys, horrible. But they're from california.

[OscarBallz]

@yaboytreyy fuk new girls

[yaboytreyy]

@OscarBallz lol

[yaboytreyy]

@LilCoppa But yea i'm definatley tired of these ABC rhymes, about the same jewelry cars and money all the time. Its time to take a stand and say yo You lose either way You talk about money and cars, yet it's dumb down, and it makes you look unintelligent, being that it's popular, it makes all mc's look unintelligent because they're representing us. And it's killing hip-hop.

[yaboytreyy]

@LilCoppa Watch VH1 soul. Hip-hop is supposed to be soul music, expressing your feelingas like a "Black thought, Common, mos Def, Talib kweli, etc. Hip-Hop is missing soul, realness and TRUTH!!!!

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

@yaboytreyy Yeah, but don't confuse Hip Hop with the Genre Hip Hop Soul now.

[allfiveny]

I wish more people heard what he said here.

[PlanetAbiola]

Great job!! Come by and check out our exclusive Q-Tip interview as well.

[gabriel1812]

he's talking about 50-cent, on the last part of this video. there was a rolling stone special on the whole battle for alum sales between 50 and kanye, and in there 50 says how he really goes into the industry to make money, not for the love of it.

[jamid87]

AMEN! Q-Tip keeping it real as always...

[H2T]

aint nothin wrong wit makin money but it does discredit the qualtiy of music yah mean and thats whats goin alot nowadays

real talk

[jamid87]

Yeah quality trumps quantity all the time! Everybody wants to talk about selling crack..."Cop a chicken" this and "Trappin on the block" that. That's good and all that...but only a handful of rappers ACTUALLY live what they talk about. I guess that's why I don't really respect too many mainstream rappers...

[THEUNDYINGDESIGN]

realness.

[AnalogX64]

Wow!! Havent heard of Q-Tip in a very long time.. I remember him from the hits he had in the 90's.

[ScottHardy1992]

yeahh q-tip

[SonOfByfordBroOfAL]

you on point tip!

[itsdaunit]

100% true we need more people that want to rap for the love not want to rap as a easy job... more lil waynes, Kanyes, 3k's, more love for the music they need to like the songs they make

[henrynzidane24an]

yeahh tip

[Godsprimechoice]

5 is my favorite number as well...so I agree

[slick2089]

i absolutely agree 100% because hip-hop has changed from love to just a job or a gimmic and if most rappers would live this it would have more passion like weezy,kanye,jay-z,q-tip,andre,­and who ever is out right now are making or breaking hip-hop those men right therr live hip-hop because they had no other choice

[420fmx]

explain how weezy represents hip hop..

[slick2089]

cuz he loves it and lives it you may not agree but he is raw hip-hop no neyo soul hip hop and dont hate on weeze he has turned white so what let him do him (fuc outta here asking me to explain bitch dont like my comment then dont read it) !
