cause he came up at a time when black awareness was commercially viable and we all know how long that lasted. Honestly, his flow becames monotonous after awhile, he really needs other people with a different style on the verse. I love Tribe though and as far as sheer work is concerned, much more important than the annointed Biggie or Pac.

i heard hammer doesn;t like q tip.


I never liked that jazzy hip hop shit. Too dull.

I thought you were down with jazzmatazz

lilgish said:

u crazy? De la, fugees, tribe called quest, they suck. If the music is dull, then i dont care how interesting those lyrics are. I know alot of dope heads like that old school stuff.

thesexofit said:

old school, you're too much

thesexofit you're reaaaaally pissing me off on this thread!

thesexofit said:

So neither do you

CinisterCee said:

yeah, on a hiphop tip, we are sooooo opposites. I like the cheese kid.


do u know who paris is? His song "street soldier" is tight. I gotta get some of his stuff.....

VoicesCarry said:

no, but i assosiate that stuff wit getting high. High ain't my middle name no more, its hammer.

thesexofit said:

Clearly, you're high right now. Did you score some good weed from the chavs?

VoicesCarry said:

hehe, chavs in canada. Nice one.


Iam a bit chavvy really. My cheap ass labelled clothes, my talk sometimes. But nah, luckily my mates only like getting drunk, which i can handle.

i love him better when he was in a tribe called quest and they are my fav rap group all time.

"As much as I love Q-Tip, nobody's bigger than the group. He and Phife together are just incredible." - Chris Rock, Rolling Stone, December 15, 2005.

I used to think Bonita Applebaum was sooo romantic when I was 12. I thought I gonna get me a guy like q-tip. But then as the years went on he seem like in a subtle way like women was suppose to fall for him like he had some kind of unique appeal over women. Then I didn't like him anymore. Crush over. Sort of like when I found out Mos Def (who has that same not your typical handsome guy appeal) had 5 kids with 5 different women. Crush OVA.

How much do I love Q-Tip? So much that in 2005, that "Kamaal the Abstract" stays in constant rotation in the CD changer. That's one of those CD's where you scratch your head and ask: "why was this never released?"

Ditto, spun the album yesterday!


Later

There a a few rappers that i really like and there`s one that i`ve always liked a little more than the others - Qtip. His lyrics and the groove, the whole attitude. The love movement, that one is so good. All the TCQ albums are great.
They´re like the hippies of the hiphop scene. That`s what git me interested in the group. I can`t have any fun these days listening to that alpha-male shit. Thatis dull - and where`s the funk in rap music totday? Gonegonegone.
JayZ is very very cool too, but i don`t like some of the lyrics.
Two weeks ago i was in London. I went to a club with some buddies of mine. The dj was really really good. Then, he puts on "check the rhyme" and people went nuts! It`s the funk! People went crazy.

I like Q-tip. Especially when he was with Tribe called Quest.

...

Kamaal the Abstract is Slammin!! IMO, if it had been released, it would have gotten all the acclaim that Speakerboxx/The Love Below got 2 years later! But does anyone kow what happened to Open/ Live at the Renaissance? --it's been moved back and delayed so long, I'm wondering if it's about to suffer the same fate as the Kamaal album....

I'm so tired of hearing how great this Kamaal the Abstract album is when only like 3 people have heard it. Where can one find this album or is it top secret?

I saw him last year in Baltimore. He surprised everyone by bringing out the rest of Tribe Called Quest and then it just became a reunion of sorts. It was great. And I loved Violator. What is this new album you speak of?

I haven't seen him since the STD skit on Dave Chappelle.

I think anyone with a song called "Pumps and a Bump" should be taken about as seriously as R. Kelly.
