  • He's absolutely right. What he says about hip hop is like what Thom Yorke has said of "Rock Music."

    Q is one of a few musicians out there that still really cares about what he does: he raps about life as opposed to desires (cars, clothes, shit we don't need.)

    I've grown very selective when I listento hip hop, but when I do, It's always Tribe or De La Soul.

    Nobody can touch them today. Nobody.

  • He's grown up and he knows how to sing it correctly.He's mature,he's better now

  • i wanna shake q-tip's hand and maybe even make a beat with him, its gonna be hard but its possible!

  • The "new hip hop" (in fact the new R&B) is an assault on the minds of our children. The lyrics and implications are insidious. Those holding unprecedented wealth are allowed this in exchange for their willingness to help to maintain the status quo of White priviledge and Black subservience. We all need to learn more about how the subconscious mind collects and stores info and how the info creates perceptions about the world & how we fit in.

  • @technologic21 I know the hip hop scene seems desperate right now, but there are still SOME good groups. I mean have you missed The Roots or Nappy Roots? If only bands like that could break into mainstream.

  • @technologic21 nigga please, stop dickriding old school and try listening to some shit other than lil wayne, there is still good hip hop around

  • amen q-tip, u r a legend

  • a black intellect indeed.

  • i love what he says niggas gotta stop obsessing over swag
