Q-tip can sing? (clip from the Ellen show)



i think he does a great job, considering Saadiq sang the original

I liked it. The band was funky and on point. Q-Tip's not bad as a singer but I don't see him winning a Grammy for Best Male Vocal either. lol
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

No. But that's why Raphael Saadiq is a singer and Q-Tip is a rapper.

His rhymes were on point and so was the band.

'im even got a Rastaman on bass...seen! cool

though, Raphael sounds sweet doing this hook on the album. Love Q-Tip and thankful that he's still one of the dudes still doing the damn thing and doing it good. the latest album is wicked, i get chills every time i hear the track with Nora Jones on it.... classic!

here is an interesting clip of how q-tip got the sample for the song "Wont Trade" and i find it interesting that people make fun of Kanye for doing this but not anyone else

Great song from a great album. Q-TIP didn't do a bad job with the singing.

The band were playing Heartbreak Hotel at the end - interesting...

Too bad they (chemical brothers) ripped that song off from something me and my band did, and we sued them for it.....a few months later they wanted our guitarist to join their tour line-up....fuckers.

Funny to see this, because I actually feel his singing voice is surprisingly "ok" on a few lines in Official. Oddly though, I think Raphael sounds quite whiny on We Fight/We Love and wondered if there was a different choice for that hook. Given the clip, I don't think Q can quite pull it off wink
