Common vs. Q-Tip

Who digs who better?

I vote Q-Tip, but "Like Water for Chocolate" is also the jam. Haven't heard Common's new one though.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

Oh, come on! I love Common, but he's no Q-Tip. Common can't touch A Tribe Called Quest.

They both rap and sound like bitches.
They both have fallen the fuck off.
They both dress like women.
They both want to be Andre.
One even had the same girlfriend as Andre.
Q-tips movies are hot do do.
Q-tips let Magoo retire him.
Q-tip is a punk, and he is the reason Tribe broke up with that stunt he pulled by inviting Consequence to the studio with out telling other members in the group about it.
They are both overated as individual rappers.

Im going with Tribe Called Quest. Fuck Q-tp and Common and homo boho nerd rap.

Com is the better emcee, but Q-Tip is an original in style and voice. I will not choose between them.

i've heard it and it's definitely got some potential.

p.s. -- anyone who thinks that Q-Tip is trying to be Dre3K when Q-Tip and ATCQ paved the way for Dre3K should really reconsider.

No, not reconsider but kill themselves for not knowing Hip Hop.

Attention:

Common currently has a cd out and it is doing fairly well.

His song "Corner" is being played heavily in Chicago and around the country.

Check it out.

After I read the responses to this thread, I had the sense that most felt both rappers were finished or "fell off." But I am glad that I could help.

Man, now this is hard. Uh, I love Tribe Called Quest, 1 of the best Hip-hop groups of all time. Common is more millitant but Q-tip's flow is just suttle, his type of voice he uses, just cool. I'm goin' 4 my man Q. Tribe was the best. Also my favorite hip-hop group.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

If you hear Common's new one you will definitely be a bigger fan of him than Q-Tip.

I really liked Tip...but he takes himself a bit too seriously...Dude...you WRITE RHYMES
