Q-Tip - Renaissance Rap

[jizzbox]

boom ting straight outta England peace out!

[reneeapa]

This is so real, even for me. It's ruff sorting out your life after the effects of Identity Theft. It's like someone else is me right now.

[reneeapa]

I love KRS-One like forever"" Q tip women dig that song 'Say something for me'

your lyrics show us you see the neglect for the things that matters the most to us.

Thank You

[CynChenge]

This is the sample J Dilla used on one of the songs on Welcome to Detroit, the song featured Phat Kat. In my opinion Dilla used the sample better.

[MrBoricua2992]

this isnt the whole song :/

[Mcheetah]

Sample: Jackson 5 - "Dancing Machine"

[hotsoupism]

Where was this exactly filmed?

[abi2512]

this shoulda won best rap album, not relapse. i was already pissed when Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II by raekwon, was not nominated. that was another sick album of 2009.

[reisedogg]

@chuckar0o It isnt on the track list... but the song is right after "Move" ... one of those 2 songs in one track thingies

[chuckar0o]

I cant find this song anywhere...Its not on any copy of "the  Renaissance" Ive had...Q-tip is a beast and lead the way for a lot of smooth flow rappers of the 90s-2000...

Death to commercial Hip-hop!

[petejosir]

tip beat....j dilla unused sample

[TheRenaissancePen]

LP III+: +JVA+

[TheRenaissancePen]

RM's SIRE: RM Renaissance Movement. COOL !!!

[BIGTEE1471]

SICK....

[djkaseone]

Dope!

[FreshCatJosh]

i think q-tip would sound a whole lot better if phife was there to back him up, and if shaheed was there giving the beats like the old times,

(not saying that q-tip is bad, he's a fucking legend!)

[TroySoul]

Most Tribe beats were made by Tip, Not shaheed.

[igniseXseriessupreme]

this is just smooth.

[jvcforce]

I think the LP version is better than remix version. Great song, but poorly promoted song.

[SUKKAFREE2323]

jive smoove manz....bet def a dope tune

[OriginalMaggot]

Ahh well I honestly don't like lil wayne's music but ya gotta appreciate that it does diversify music. Not to mention most of that stuff is for the club. It just so happens..a lot of it that stuff is flooding the airways now. For ppl who like qtip and the artists along that lineage that it's music from these new mainstream artists that help us to appreciate this kind of music more.

[alexhughesis]

i heard some fool on the radio sayin, who is better lil wayne or q-tip. Play them this and answer is obvious

[AlexTuran666]

Nice :D

[vs7]

Anyone know the sample of this beauty?

[oldirtycaffrey]

Steve Howe's 1975 song "Will o the Wisp"; he's the gtr player for Yes

[songotenz02]

Damn this reminds of the Tribe Called Quest Days. CLASSIC material right here!!

[BboyJuNg]

this was produced by jdilla, no wonder i can't stop listening to it..

[YoungSimonzzz]

great !!!!!!!!!!!!

[luvdilla1999]

its a dilla beat 4 sure

[TroySoul]

Nah this is a Tip beat.

[kojotasxxx]

I co-sign this.

[bqureshi390]

this is frickin amazing.

this is real rap, this is it. hell yeah

[venone05]

does quasimoto do the beat? ( madlib )

[THEREALghostlaced]

he needs to do a video for the remix of this song instead (with busta, raekwon, lil wayne)

[duckman32001]

This is the type of rap music that needs more recognition.

[maddogg360]

HIP HOP 4Life Fuck RAP

[bqureshi390]

u lack enlightenment. lmao

"Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people." - KRS-One.

[Jeffrey1234566789]

Peace Love Unity Having Fun, These are the lyrics of KRS-One

[ShamRocofficial]

[Madjoj0]

More Rap Music like this PLZ !! Awesome track & perfect flow !!

[mcguirk5150]

What a sicko!!

[roisinandfoxy]

this is how hiphop should be..tips passion for music is obviously as strong as ever!

Renaissance is the best album i've heard for years!

[duckman32001]

hell yea.

[thetman407]

sounds devastating to my earrrrr,dope

[Max547]

This is on another level.

[donkids]

Where the hell can I find this song? It's not even on the renaissance album.

[ffjong]

It's the second part of the track "Move"

[yungcorleone]

its at the end of move listen closelt

[KroovyMonsoon]

Why is this cut off ?????

[Ascendiary2012]

Is he spoofing jason bourne? Dope video. One of the agents had the symbol pi tatooed on his temple. hrmm.

[pedro1escobar1]

is this dilla beat?

[vinyljunkie45]

anyone want this ? forward email

[maddsoul73]

yo dope song he kinda sounds like rakim a little bit voice wise lol

[wwesuperstar1234]

There's a remix with rakim.

[LesaneRecords]

Really?

[wwesuperstar1234]

Oops I meant Raekwon (sorry) the remix is still really good though.

[jfitchet]

Great album top to bottom, didn't know this had a video.

[druwitattitude]

people who are saying the song isn't on the album aren't true fans, otherwise they would've listened to the whole album all the way though.

[superjigga2004]

very true

[tmg132]

i love his voice (no homo) nice song!!!!!

[lawtrip]

saying no homo is pretty homo

[ShQiP20SouL]

hes  RAP!

[gi5000]

watch?v=Lfk8xmQqZKg

[Lov3lystar5]

qtip is the mannn, this is called tru hip hop. i get to talk to him at work all the time =]

nice man. Im glad im cool with a real dude. =]

[lawtrip]

yeah i talk to q tip all the time aswell

[nado761976]

Where cant i find this song!!! HELP!!

[robib2]

It's tagged on to the end of "Move". It's starts at 2:50.

[Quronik804]

why is this not on the album?????????????

[badboi0717]

It is. Its the break for "Move"

[Scorpio190]

one of my top 5 albums of the year

[Hellamar]

RESPECT !!

[harry202020]

i find it interesting that when i first started listening to this I thought it was an R& B album, but now I see its true rap, with an R&B feel, and jazzy sung hooks. U gotta let it grow on you. Most people dont have the patience. they say R&B, gay... love shit im done. Q-tip is bringing a fusion to rap, never really heard b4. he built on his Kamal the abstract album incredibly.

[BlackJays]

So many people here didn't listen to the whole song "Move". Half of these comments are "this song isn't on the album", LOL. I heard this beat when I put the CD in my car, but when I got home I couldn't find it. That shit tripped me out.

[mugenxyz1234]

This video kinda reminds of Bourne triogy shit once you think about it. but whatever, do your thing Q-Tip!

[kuhle83]

this a quality album my homie, you cant disrespect the abstract an hip-hop like that!this no TI, you got to buy!

[Realnezz08]

"Renaissance Rap" isn't on "The Renaissance" ... Where can i buy this track (what for an album)?

"The Renaissance" is very good... it's music!

[JustTamad]

Renaissance Rap is tagged onto the back of Move. So that's the song to get

[harry202020]

q-tip is singlehandedly saving rap right now. He brought it so hard with this release.

[kuhle83]

woodnt say singlehandedly, but i feels you bra! The Renaissance is easily one of the best albums to come out in the last 5 yrs! i'm feelin this album like porno hoes! ish is nutz!

[spearmintt]

You love Q-Tip that much then you can buy the album.

People do still do that.

[highlight66]

merci

[edskin426]

This shit is RIDICULOUS!!! thank god q-tip dropped this album because kanye's new album sucks dick!!!

[MusicalTariq]

Damn right. He actually recorded this before Amplified, but they didn't think it was mainstream enough so they never released it. Bastards...this is what Amplified SHOULD'VE been...Damnit Tip...I love you mayne.

[robib2]

simply amazing.

[UsherRed]

To me, Q beautifully demonstrated my belief and philosophy towards this entire music thing: that there is no Ol' Skool, no New Skool, no underground, above ground, middle ground, stuck between concrete and sand, or however many pathetic titles there are for distinguishing ONE genre of music. He clearly showed that amongst this new age (with regards to mainstream entertainment), creating music WITH substance is surely possible.

Big ups to him and ATCQ!

[UsherRed]

I love the song and most importantly, the man behind this jam who's been putting it down for years as marvelously as possible: the ONE and ONLY Q-Tip of Hip-Hop's most remarkable "Tribe." The world was waiting for this "comeback" for ages (I say comeback with quotation marks cause to true fans, the man was never gone; true, gone from the media's eyes but never from his fans' hearts.) Quality music at its PUREST form!

[robib2]

This is purely genuis! Hip Hop has come back to life! Go Q!

[LinkDaBoss]

OMG! Q-Tip made a video for this song? How epic! How rare is it for a hidden track to get a video?

[shago10]

damn i love this song... have heard almost every day since posted

[akanaz]

is on the album?

[bellachelle]

yeah it comes on after move. its hidden

[4321tim]

Every a tribe called quest fan go buy this album, its solid. If it was'nt for the old school there would be no new school. We have to keep the true essence of hip hop alive because everything should'nt be commercial.

[framil54]

the true essence still exists in new artists today..check out the main video on my page..up and coming hip hop/jazz band called ArtOfficial..your welcome

[mdsc]

Thanks for the recommendation. AO is dope.

[partyjon1]

Q-Tip is the M-A-N! Thanks God he came back with a new album. A master lesson for the sad hip-hop panorama...

[thomasvisee]

The best track on the album was hidden!!

[DAT336]

1 of the best album of the year fo real!

[Cansbro]

What a Track!!! DOPE- Best Word/Adjective to use for this joint- Got the Album Yesterday..... AMAZING- WE NEED MORE OF THIS SHIT

[svahaid]

[duckman32001]

Another classic from a future legend. This is why public music television and radio station are garbage for not constantly playing songs like these

[sekwal]

[svahaid]

[AddaxTV]

not my favorite song on the album, but i feel like every other song on it is! the album is a testament that hiphop is very alive, and that dope beats and sick spits are still achievable if you've got the creativeness in you. keep it up Q!

[ooollgaa]

The renaissance rap - good choice for the video!!! Love this track, it's so fresh

[klinnskutt]

Q Tip, what an ARTIST!
