[Deezy94]

This album did NOT get the props it deserved...it was quite possibly the BEST album of the year when it came out, IMO!

[Dubulous111]

@Deezy94 I agree completely. definitely the best album of 2008. hands down.

[vstarr89]

dis jawn fire mane! Lol

[torysanders]

Who ever playing bass is killing.

[JayBoogie950]

@torysanders glad im not the only one who noticed, that bass player is sickk

[torysanders]

@JayBoogie950 Yeah I know q-tip didnt play that bassline. Thats straight funky.

[diopsdad]

Q TIP AND NORAH NICE DUO!

[KABUKIJ]

FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM, the whole album is great but this one reminds me of what true hip hop is, and who the true artist are. i wish there were more albums like this.

[Lokiman42]

@KABUKIJ Me too man... me too.

[Damadehierro89]

[penaholic]

Great song!! Love the beat and the collabo with Norah. Very classic! :)

[curiouschile]

Preach Desi ! Thank you for this ! xoxo -c-c-

[cavreordie]

i love this song...talk about REAL hip hop

[geccomania]

Well Said Desi

[desidynamite786]

You should all take note from this song and learn to love Hip-Hop as a whole. It's a culture, and each culture has different groups within it. You have old school, new school, intelligent, real, etc. Q-tip is giving a shout out to all of them, INCLUDING Lil' Wayne. Am I a fan of Lil' Wayne? Not really, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hate on his craft. To each their own, b/c w/o each part, the masterpiece which is hip-hop would be incomplete. Sometimes you need the bad to know the good. Love.

[jawbrey1]

word.

[kiddiwaage0]

lil' wayne is the last i think about when i think of hip-hop, q-tip isn't the first, but it's near then lil'wayne

[FirstStreetTV]

@kiddiwaage0 Lil Wayne isn't hip-hop when I think of hip-hop.

[adalex08]

i totally agree!!! its just not the same! this is real music you can feel!!! q-tip is under rated to me!

[Eld0ubleU]

i mean seriously.....is that hip hop or not?!?

best track off the album!

[MsKristineE5150]

MsKristineE5150-

People please, let's talk about what really matters  about this track. Norah Jones is truly amazing & I can't say enough about Q-Tip. Much love to the man with the vision to create this beautiful hip hop.

Almost 100,000 views!

[bondsmoka]

WHy The FucK IS Lil' Wayne on The List? QTip wtf!?

[TXFC3]

consider when this track was made, i think lil' wayne was better back then

[mexicanmetalhead31]

Dude, Lil Wayne was never better in any sense. The guy was always overrated and a horrible rapper who thinks hes the shit when hes not.

He STINKS like shit but can't hold a candle to any real rappers, especially like Q-Tip.

That's just my thoughts on it ya know, some people like the dude some don't.

[m33lover]

Politics bro. Politics.

[xxLaHippieLifeIs4Mex]

i'm guessing u dont lik him, i think he's overrated, but u have to admit that most people think of his name first when they think of hip-hop, unfortunately

[StarflareLegionaire]

Correct me if Im wrong but does it sound like he sampled the kick and clap/snare from More Bounce to the Ounce or is it just me.

[Armeniacolombia29]

@StarflareLegionaire I think it's just you...doesn't say anything of sampling in the credits on the album sleeve.

[BOWIEDANCEQUEEN]

No, it does sound similar, but it probably is just a coincidence because great minds think alike :)

[ghist420]

yeah must be. its fuckin identical

[shugabonito]

is there someone, who can post the video of the track??

[Armeniacolombia29]

@shugabonito You can select it in the video response to this....

[Cordog1111]

I neva thought Norah Jones could sing on a hip hop track like erykah badu. Love that way she says "hip hop is playing again and Its bangin"

[philosophersphone]

composition

[silentstorm9]

love this song

[emceemaka]

Genius other than the mentioning of Wayne. One, Maka

[jelene8701]

WATEVA Q i luv ya and as always ur music makes my ass nod my head even if i dnt want 2 lol

[Nithralas]

Fresssshhhhh

[2XdarkskyX2]

100% real

[mhaze210]

Norah is so welcome to Hip Hop, every artist she collaborates with happens to be 1 ive respected since i was young.

Kweli / Madlib / Tip...always does a great job too.

This is one of her best, and i LOVE Tip's vrese so much.

[wtfinghell]

i'm so glad norah is getting into other genres of music and getting her vocals out there..she has an amazing sound. i love her voice with hiphop beats

[tiffysippy]

youstaghtiftheraceisswiftimqti­pnofalme

[boiwonder619]

love the song!

[koolkidtv101]

dang did ppl forget about da song lol.i think the song is peaceful and relaxing.

[weepaul666]

Might I remind everyone that we're all adults now. We're not kids anymore. Time to drop these religious fiction stories

[Armeniacolombia29]

Agreed

[Armeniacolombia29]

These religious comments are starting to get annoying. If you wanna preach the word of your god or deity or whatever do it on a video related to it. This is just music, a song, etc. If you feel it has some spiritual connection or you have a religious connection fine. But it's getting old and a waste of time, like really....

[davetone]

Yep, religious comments here are weird, but whatever - Q & Nora, you two, both super talented...wow, bottom end is loose, groove is sloppy. You've got the time, talent. clean it up, this is like a rehearsal. You're too good for this low quality version. Keep going

[davetone]

Sorry Nora, I love you voice, this is garbage!

[rpdinavahi]

What the fuck is wrong wth Jesus fuckin Christ and mothafuckin Muhammad and what are they doin here??? F - off guys!!!

[Armeniacolombia29]

What's with the religious comments? Lol

[TLUCK40]

I bear witness that nothing or no one has the right to be worshipped but God the father and creator and I bear witness that Jesus Christ is His only son and the savior.

[12Judah12]

You both are wrong Allah come from the Hebrew word Allahayum! That means The Powers NOT GOD OR THE "Creator" Only Power. Power is a Title just like God and Allah are both titles. The Creator has a Name..

I believe in the Messaiah but his name was NEVER JESUS that is a greek name that come from Zues IeZuse Iesues JeZues =jesus.

His Real name is Yahshiyah =Savior = the Real Messiahs Name. His Father God real name is found in Exodus 3:13-15 Ahayah Ashar Ahayah

What now!

[kambsh777]

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger

[12Judah12]

You both are wrong Allah come from the Hebrew word Allahayum! That means The Powers NOT GOD OR THE "Creator" Only Power. Power is a Title just like God and Allah are both titles. The Creator has a Name..

I believe in the Messaiah but his name was NEVER JESUS that is a greek name that come from Zues IeZuse Iesues JeZues =jesus.

His Real name is Yahshiyah =Savior = the Real Messiahs Name. His Father God real name is found in Exodus 3:13-15 Ahayah Ashar Ahayah

YOU BOTH ARE WRONG...What now!

[The0rdinary]

beautiful calloboration!

[emilyae]

I loooove her voice. This is an amazing song. Like funk, hip-hop, jazz. It shall be called Junkhop

[mexicanmetalhead31]

Well when you mix jazz, funk and hip hop together you get Acid Jazz, and to me this sounds pretty Acid Jazz to me, almost in the vain of Jamiroquai, though you can call it whatever you want. This song is TIGHT AND GROOVY as hell, makes me wanna get up and boogie (:

[sporknfoon2]

Now this what I'm talkin bout!

[jackdaman80]

Hip Hop is back!!!!!!!!!! I'm so hook on this song! Norah and tip did a good song here!

[kevintadeo]

Sicker than Ham!!!

[nico2400]

"His nigga Dilla" is J Dilla or what?

[lauriehammy]

Good effort with the lyrics man !

[tiffysippy]

this niggro Kevin hacked my paper works like the whole music squadrum he really want to my project and he stole my rights to my writting like me that all you have to do

[tiffysippy]

hay use and alias

[rajeshbysani]

[Deezy94]

One of my fav cuts off this album...this album doesn't get the respect its due! One of the best one's of 2008!

twitterDOTcom/QtipTheAbstract

[innovator708]

best rap album at grammys 2010!

[zigistardusted]

I was lucky and stumbled into the video shoot for this song over the weekend in Brooklyn. It was very cool, low key production. Norah and Tip were having a lot of fun. It was HOTTT as hell in there lol everyone sweating our balls off. People were blowing bubbles everywhere. The song was just jamming on a ghetto blaster, i didnt hear it as well as im hearing it on here right now. It is a bad ass song.

[Armeniacolombia29]

Wow, that's awesome! So we expecting a music video for this song now.... =]

[zigistardusted]

Yeah i snapped some pictures on my phone until the producer chick came over and yelled at me, haha. i can email em to you if you want.

[Armeniacolombia29]

Thanks anyways, but I wanna wait for the music video to come out =D.

[bonafide567]

Q-Tip is the shit

[haydster89]

amen.

[jordanbags]

estelle is wank mate

[majuro08]

I love Norah Jones. It just goes to show you that a good voice can fit into any genre! She also sang on an OutKast song if I'm not mistaken.

[zigistardusted]

She sings on Andre 3000's 'Take Off Your Cool" from The Love Below. Great track. She is a very cool chick, very down to earth and sweet in person.

[theycallmenavy]

She also sang on Talib Kweli's "Soon The New Day" great song!!

[Sickaemcee]

I love this song..I think itll be crazy to hear QTip and Estelle do somethin one day..he has great ideas for collabos..

[icefenixxx]

I love how he just gives her the first two minutes of the song to vibe out on... Norah Jones on hip hop songs is sublime (for those who don't listen to her music & know that she's always sublime)...

[KOKIOCLOCK]

great bit

[johnsmarkland]

Oh man! dope azz beats! Real funky shit.

[cougar014]

q tip is 2 siiiiiiiiiick

[iYoCWalk]

R.I.P J Dilla :'(

And Yes This Is A Tribute To Him!

[theycallmenavy]

He actually said that it's about his love for Hip Hop music in general. Life is better, now that I've found you (hip hop)

...Had to mention Dilla twice tho.

[N1CKYDEE]

[driftartist08]

The formula for this song: Norah Jones' amazing vocals+Q-Tip's genius producing=Masterpiece. In every way, one of the best song's by Q-Tip.

[YoungMoment21]

I love how he fades into the song at the end with the "life is better", crazy production skills.

[pievike]

to 1Miraculu;

IF YOU DON'T KNOW Q-TIP, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW HIP-HOP!!!!!!!

[goanna83]

this reminds me of amel larrieux's style.....how sweet =D

[MrsLautner4lyf]

I love her! I'm mad she's not as known as most people because her vocal skills is crazy.

[1Miraculum]

I don't know Q-tip;

Does he produce his own beats?

If not, could you tell me who made this beat please.

Thx!

[Armeniacolombia29]

Yes he does produce his own beats. Q-Tip or Kamaal Fareed is a(n) MC/actor/producer/poet.

He's from Jamaica, Queens...what else...

[amthe1]

Hi! Thanks for answering!

Take care

Peace

[slamsthemonkey]

the snare is bangin - remind me of a dilla beat

[Vinsanity15814]

well ive heard that this song was actually also meant to be a tribute to jay so its possible tip wanted it to resemble a dilla beat

[slamsthemonkey]

cool, this is dope, good tribute!

[gravitysrainbowww]

He has a spark of greatness in him.

[smackitupNflipit]

Ya think?? Dude is a legend.

[sheka2hot]

[mardenhill]

[spaceboy2095]

Greatest song I've heard in such a long time! Love it could listen to it for hour! Q-tip is, was and will remain the tightest cat around...

[luvamylif]

[Melook]

IAM going going back to cali. Sickess BIG sample ever

[UltraDOG17]

lil wayne

he 1 of tha worst rappers 2 mention

[vanbije1]

No doubt. Why the fuck would Tip mention Lil Wayne.

He is an insult to this kind of hip-hop.

[UltraDOG17]

Lil Lame is NO MC, let alone a rapper

they so much better rappers than that queer trash

[Armeniacolombia29]

Who's Lil Wayne? Lol kidding, I don't know how Q-Tip could do a remix with him (Renaissance remix).

[UltraDOG17]

Q-Tip lost my respect 4 workin with that junkie clown

[revolution55125]

Not all the artist he shout out are mcs.

[djimpelr]

Norah Jones well is attractive like whoa!

[pgapple21]

[nbeope]

Q-Tip, you didn't mention any of your true homeboys. Shame on you
