[moivemaker2]

are you going to make review for Kanye Wests new album?

[spatuelli]

Yes, we are working on that as we speak - it should be posted tomorrow evening.

I'm in the UNDER 25 crowd, but I still remember the days of Tribe Called Quest AND Digital Underground. However, I've never been a fan of Q-tip. Yea, he's great lyrically, but his voice and flow gets on my nerves. He needs add a little base to his voice and switch up his flow a little bit and he'll be set. With that said, I think your rating of the Renassiance is a bit too high but to each his own.

[spatuelli]

Ok so what rating would you give the album?

[XxmohammadXx]

Ravi, you underrated the mind of like younger hip hop minds. I'm 15, and I know Q-Tip and all his songs. I'm a Nas fan so when i heard One Love, i looked into Q-Tip songs and i loved it. And yeah, I know Q-Tips' history, he's real.

[spatuelli]

Trust me, you're one in a million homie...

[unirvrsl]

ravi you had me until u gave this album a 7.5. This album is 10! If this isn't what is?

[unirvrsl]

@XxmohammadXx you got it 1000%...jeaahhhh!

[unirvrsl]

@MykullMyerz you just very confused and brainwashed, on the real, no joke. Wake up somehow for your own good...

[theremixphilly]

Q-Tip needs all the sales he can get-- is that a bit holeish? I mean all artist need all the sales they can get- especially no -- I love Q-tip but hey I'm 33-- whatev.

[SEFYH]

Great Review!

[DaLatinAbstract]

people under 25 know about Q-Tip and A Tribe Called Quest.. Boo this man!

[CruzAzul2011]

im 15 and i got my brother buying me this album. this album is so good and this is gonna be the first cd i bought since 2003

[MessaicComic]

Young blood here, 17. I'm embarrassed that this dude would put Untitled and Paper Trail on the same level. Nas's album is straight fire up there with Q-tip. Untitled and Renaissance might be the two best hip hop albums all year if not at least the greatest come back albums, but Paper Trail was nothin but commercial trash. TI needs to step his swag disappoints.

[theJazzFonk]

Bum to that man, I'm 17 and I think this album is a genious fusion of styles glued together with the experienced production of a true street poet.

I can listen to all of Tribes stuff continuously, this is tips best work in the last decade.
