Q-Tip & Mos Def - Excursions (Rock The Bells 2008)

Q-Tip's legendary opening verse to this song is so good it's written on his shirt. I can't believe I didn't upload this one earlier. This is one of my favorite videos I've ever taken at a show. Before Phife, Jarobi, and Ali got up to join 'Tip, he came out with neo Native Tounge MC Mos Def and rocked a few songs together. I woulda thought the crowd might have been a little burnt out after 12 hours of hip hop but it the whole canyon was alive. The concert was Rock The Bells 2008 at The Gorge Amphitheater in the middle of nowhere Washington state.

Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I had status and before I had a pager
You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop
My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop
