[kaambalwaay]

that's right...D'angelo...no matter how many trouble ure involved....Still being a Bomb kickin it....Fuck Media, Fuck Hatters...Long Live the Monarq of Soul....

[Wilshy]

Renaissance indeed! 'Bout time real hip-hop and at that, music in general, started to make a come back!

[ahatael]

brings it back to the old tribe days

[aunicornist]

I know, this track sounds like it came right off of a Quest album. Pretty nostalgic

[djkaseone]

Dope!

[34teflon]

I'm loving how q-tip sampled large professor's this is for my people. this is true hip hop!!

[pacrox2]

@34teflon Thank You! i knew the beat sounded familiar and it was stuck in my head for hours trying to figure out which song he sampled

[geoffpeterstrio]

great!

[huntedrasta]

great collabo

[bluedude05]

i love the beginning and ending lyrics

I BELIEVE THATS LOVE!!!

[chinanassm]

this is absolutely beautiful...i am off to buy this album right now...

[harlrayner]

The only album Ive had in my car since the beginning of the year. My favourite album of all time

[GAMBIAN]

im going to buy this album

[mathemathique]

Dilla would be proud of his new album.

[jerbojones]

man this is the shit right here. I love q-tip and tribe. this is real hip hop. a nice groove and some one spittin real shit over a nice beat.

[jerbojones]

this sounds like a genuine tribe song right here!

[djslipdisk]

You're so right man. This is such a logical progression.

[reR0OTED]

he is proud, music is everywhere...im sure wherever he is...good music such as q-tips creation would repel to the skies thru the clouds in the" land of make believe, can make unbelieve believable" thus jdilla is probably listenin to this right now, you gotta "believe" holmes

[gittygittygoo1012]

i love slow jams

[lesconnus]

I believe thats loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! MUSIC IS LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !! AND LIFE IS LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!

[lesconnus]

"I like to keep things balanced, combining R&B, jazz, funk and movie stuff to help reflect what's happening in our world. I just try to keep challenging myself to continue to grow and get better."

Marcus.

[lesconnus]

that's right man. Now I suggest you to listen this song : Marcus Miller - Rush over .

[lesconnus]

"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself."

Who has written that ?

[Armeniacolombia29]

Jim Morrison from the band The Doors.

[lesconnus]

MAN I CANT SLEEP THIS SONG IS A PURE DOPE AND I NEED IT EVERY MINUTES!!! damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Armeniacolombia29]

Calm down.

[lesconnus]

why do you say Calm down ?? strange reflexion surely you are not a real American.

[Armeniacolombia29]

I say calm down because you're not the only one who's crazy for this song/album/artist and it's understandable enough but you're just going OD. And the real American part I'm just gonna say I was born in America that's it.

[lesconnus]

ok man take care but what is the meaning of OD ?

[Armeniacolombia29]

OD = over-doing. As in over-doing it or over dose.

[lesconnus]

Thanks for translating bro. Have you ever been in France ? c u

[Armeniacolombia29]

No, but I do want to go one day.

[lesconnus]

You're right. me too i'll discover America one day.. I saw your webpage and all the maxims or dictums are so true and so strong. I'm translating lyrics of Q and Nate and it's so good ! it's my passion. Life is Better !

[lesconnus]

LIFE IS BETTER is so good all the Album THE RENAISSANCE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THAT MAN... hey Q when do you schedule to come in France's South to kick it??!!!! I am waiting for you man !!

[johnsmarkland]

Nah man...he supercedes Nas....he's in the game long before Nas. Nas, is an excellent rapper, hands down. Peace.

[TeenGohan007]

DiS dA SoNg!

(^.^)

[xBonitaApplebumx]

Q-tipppppp Tha bommmmmm !!! and D'angelo toooo !! BROWN SUGARRR

[leton090]

[Blonkie05]

D'Angelo is still great ;)

[underdogg08]

he need ta make dis song a video

[seanlindo06]

[unirvrsl]

[hankyn]

3rd LP. We missing you for real. Great song and collaboration.

[redreets]

This song is amazing and both amazing artists x

[YoungMoment21]

Best song on the album, but your lyrics are ALL messed up

[Armeniacolombia29]

You mind to point out the parts that need fixing? Thanks.

[YoungMoment21]

The chorus is " I believe thats love".

The first verse is:

uh of the things we believe

theres a whole lot of work we should roll up our sleeves and we got a hold firm when fates full like a sieve, why doubt your plans cause its all worth believing

we can make it work do believe that

leave mistrust in the dust and believe fact

[YoungMoment21]

we can achieve tact

by tuning out negative feedback

naysayers can hate we concentrate to bring belief back

into ourselves into the world into the rap game

emcees are miserable that means their musics leaving mics maimed

[YoungMoment21]

man look we holding down for the truth if we alone in the loop we gone hold for the proof man put it in believing believe in believing seeing aint believing its the feeling that we needing believe in each other put the question to the system they promising returns then question what you getting we should believe in the reasons we existing time for renaissance to reawaken what is with it belief can confirm make it is what it isnt sometimes i wish i had belief when i didnt .

[threepennyg]

this my joint right here...

this one of the albums that made me "believe" in hip-hop music again

man put it in believing, believe in believing.

[mike12jrw1111113]

How can anyone make a song like this? He knows all the perfect sounds at all the perfect moments. This guy makes no sense..It's to god.

[sdmill72]

SlientBombr you are right...beautiful is exactly what this song is. Just amazing. I'm at a loss for words.

[voltan91]

You are wrong...

Listen to O.S.T.R. - O.C.B. album

Polish MC and Producent who create beats like that.

[kaliia]

This is one of the few songs that makes you just hit the repeat button and let it go on n on.

[YoungMoment21]

Cosign

Damn, this is so beautiful, I remember when I first heard this. Magical stuff from D'Angelo

[UltraDOG17]

[Infinite8338]

[LiLfLiP94]

[UltraDOG17]

i hope that Tip, Common & D'Angelo make an Super Group soon

[ferrari3107]

Q tip is so old school. and d'angelo epitomises soul, can't wait for his new shit

[RawBiznasProductions]

Great album.

[GeeQ4Life]

I heard D'Angelo lost his "Superbody" and bcame fat ..is diz tru ?

[Armeniacolombia29]

I read somewhere that he became somewat overweight from all the drinking and drug problems but he's also on his way to a recovery and to a "renaissance" of himself in his own right.

[urcut21]

too sick

[lollish93]

the other version is better.. this sux cock

[musiqhotshot]

no you suck punk

[Lonna357]

Oh i love the feeling of this ... deep Neo- soul OMG thank you for this post !

[Armeniacolombia29]

Ok...your welcome. U should really thank Q-Tip and D'Angelo.

[rarenature]

My Tribe love is so great its been hard for me to accept Tip solo. But he has so many banger beats you can't help but groove to it. Also respect to Tip on the production side also.

[UltraDOG17]

i wish can sum1 email Tip that he should made an video 4 this song

that song is WAY 2 tight

[Armeniacolombia29]

If I could personally I would.

[UltraDOG17]

i wish that Q-Tip would hook up with Common or D'Angelo, Busta Rhymes (if that fool stop actin gangsta) & etc tho.

Kanye been suck

only thing that saved him 4 bein suck is his beats tho

[robib2]

I hear Tip and Common are are forming a "supergroup" called The Standard.

[GuzzyVision]

Damn, if they formed a group with Mos def,Common, and Q that would be the shit.

[jabari27]

hell yeah

[musiqhotshot]

man kanye west sucks now ever since that freakin put on with stupid young jeezy who really could never rap from the begning.

i'm not even going to ever bother listening to his new actual rap and not singing unless i hear it someehre on accident. just his old stuff is thats cool now.

[robib2]

This is probably my favorite song on the Renaissance album. Very soulful and deep. It's the type of song you can play in your car while driving on the highway. Smooth and pure! GO Q!

[HCRBandit]

this song has a sample from 'my people' off the large professor's 'the lp' album.. you should check that song out too.. its just as soulful as this.

[springdream84]

Nice! Thanks for the tip - i love finding and listening to the original songs that my favorite songs sampled

[HCRBandit]

My pleasure!!! I love Tip and the Large Pro so its all love!

[shileno19]

the world needs more hip hop music like this

now waitin for d'angelo to drop his

[Strawberrygrl90]

This CD is off the chain!!!!!

[ShakaDelic716]

best cd in the decade or in recent memory

[kuhle83]

all i'm askin is why do people still speak of wack acts like Kanye when this dude and ATCQ are the realness! this track and this whole damn album saved 08, otherwise 08 has probaboly been the worst year for hip-hop yet, what a crap year, just about every album dropped has been utter rubbish!straight B/S!peace to the Umah!Abstract killed this album!

[Armeniacolombia29]

U gotta say that Nas and The Roots released some good stuff as well this year. But I can still see light at the end of the tunnel, theres a reason Q-tip named the album "The Renaissance"

[DJAT1988]

WHAT!? KANYE WEST AINT WHACK!!

You is whack!!!

[Armeniacolombia29]

U calling me whack?

[DJAT1988]

Orginal Quote:

WHAT!? KANYE WEST AINT WHACK!!

You is whack!!!

Errrmmmm... I believe so!

[Armeniacolombia29]

Wow, nothing else better to do on Christmas but call someone whack? Don't comment my vids then if u think im whack.

[DJAT1988]

It wasnt Christmas when I said that!

Like you Kanye's whack I think you is whack!

Whtas wrong with that?

Your entitled to your opinion so am I!

No hard feelings

Merry Xmas, yea?

:D

[Armeniacolombia29]

U said it on Christmas eve, and I never used the word "whack" to describe Kanye. I dont have hard feelings, its just that it sounds childish when u call someone that term for no apparent reason. I never called kanye "whack".

[Armeniacolombia29]

And also "kuhle83" was the one refering Kanye to a "whack act".

[Leyahckim]

i think kanye has gotten kinda whack...he might resurect himself, but i dont really care for him right now

[Armeniacolombia29]

He hasnt been consistent, i still think he can come back to his roots (strictly being producuer)

[UltraDOG17]

yea he wack now

he used 2 be good be-4 he put garbage like Lil Lame or Young Cheezy on tho.

whateva happen 2 Kanye & Common tho

[Armeniacolombia29]

They got sucked up by the "mainstream" and the fell vitcum to it.

[dunamiz05]

this is SOul inlightling...

[deanclkclk]

hard song man.

[Armeniacolombia29]

Q-Tip coming HARD!!! LOL

[CeLBlueArrow]

These is what we need more in hip hop.

[djmcc1981]

Good music is back, hopefully good times to follow :D

[Armeniacolombia29]

Well it should as the ablum title reads "The Renaissance", I think this is the second time I said this, lol.

[dreadlockjones]

The renaissance is such a good album

[framil54]

this album will be revered 10 years from now..if you love this check out the main video on my channel...up and coming hip hop/jazz band called ArtOfficial...your welcome...

btw my email is on my page if you like what you hear drop me an email and i'll send you their EP "Stranger" for free

[Armeniacolombia29]

I checked out ArtOfficial, they're a pretty interesting group. Reminds me of The Roots.

[UltraDOG17]

I wish i had an beat like this tho

[MariosLasagna]

I use Q-Tips to capture the sawmp wax out of my ears.

[kuhle83]

they no feel what you sayin, i gets you man! he even say whats an ear without a Q-tip!

[justababyboy]

HOOOOOOOTTTT

[strongdonovan]

q tip got some cold ass beats

[skfly06]

This song, shaka, and gettin' up are my favorites! You can't get tired of them ever!

[UltraDOG17]

i hope they add an Tribe Called Quest Remix on this 1. the OLD school is comin back like the 90's

[Armeniacolombia29]

Yea old is comming back thus the title of the album "The Renaissance"

[UltraDOG17]

what an tight song

this sound like sum song that Tribe Called Quest Should be on

[mars6263]

dope

[Sneecks]

i cant believe this type of track is being dropped right now. yet its perfect timing, feels like smthn from midnight marauders kinda, but more organic. awesome

[robib2]

This song is absolutely amazing! I've had it on repeat on my iPod for the last 10 minutes. It's very inspirational and truly motivating. True hip hop at its best! Go Q-TIP!

[BESONE215]

damn! its like a new tribe joint

[eclecticbgirl]

no prob, armeniacolombia29. just to also let you know, I read about this info in. Spin magazine (the article is a couple of months old now...its either sept. or oct...i'm sure its on the mag's website though)...

In that same article, it also explains the reasons why D'Angelo has taken so long to make another album.

[Armeniacolombia29]

Oh cool, i'll check it out. I like his two previous albums and the past decade or so he's been missing.

[eclecticbgirl]

whoa...can this get more hypnotic?! between the beat, q-tip, and d'angelo...ohhhhh....

<3

[presidentcletus]

daaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

[JanSwift420]

so refreshing

[krazielos]

I like that he sampled the Large Professor's

"For My People"

[07dunn]

glad to see tip back 2 his roots

[dj20000000000]

This song inspired me to go harder through my future years in college, excellent song. Can't wait for D'angelo's 3rd cd, idk if he ca top the now legendary Brown Sugar and Voodoo, but u never know

[Armeniacolombia29]

Yea when is his 3rd album coming out? He takes too much time off between his albums.

[eclecticbgirl]

I read in an interview that his third album will be nothing like the two. It'll feature more instruments, and feature a broad range of sounds, rather than solely the r&b signature sounds he was known for.

[psychmaj323]

This is much better than that other one floating around here.

[metavoice]

I like the other version too, although it is probably some type of mixtape. This one is much clearer sounding. The other version has a better tempo.

[hollaballooza]

Rising Down, Untitled, Grey Hairs, Raw Footage, Pro Tools, The Show, The Preface and now The Renaissance - What a great year for hip-hop

[dj20000000000]

i have every cd u just named, your right this was a very fun year for hip-hop. The Renaissance is currently album of the year for me, The Preface and Landing Gear by Devin the Dude are tied in 2nd

[DAT336]

yo I said the same thing! That New Devin the Dude is a CLASSIC!

[notimetodothisbutt]

love this song

[wardisan5008]

this that real music I cant get enough of it.

[2kings619]

real hip hop all day!! =]

but for true hip hip fans also check out lax by the game classic album

[realhiphop4eva]

i jus got the album today. this and nas's untitled album are the GREATEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR! IF U DONT HAVE IT, GET...IT...NOW!!!! if not for the music, buy it to support real hip-hop.

[nngwa]

I BELIEVE IN OBAMA!

[inmyhumble0pinion]

Hang on: is THIS version on The Renaissance because I read the weaker version is on the album. Who knows FOR SURE?

[Armeniacolombia29]

YES IT IS!!! Where u read this "weaker version" stuff?? This the album version, i also heard different ones but this is the best one [album version]

[inmyhumble0pinion]

Thanks for that. i must have misread a reader's comment. thanks for straightening me out.

[Armeniacolombia29]

You're welcome

[PureWaterGuy]

one of my favs of the year, and on the cd
