I do think this album is very dope! It had some videos [Getting Up, Move, & Life Is Better] but I don't know if it won any awards though... | |

Nope.
Perfectly produced IMO, even though I prefer Kamaal The Abstract
Didn't know there was a video for the song with Norah Jones, T4P. Loved his joint with Ray & D too. | |

Very good album, indeed. I love "Gettin' Up" and the song with Norah Jones. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

This was/is a great and funky album. I remember I purchased it the same day Obama won the Presidental Election, which just so happened to be the day it was released. I was floored by the production and Tip's legendary style. He hadn't lost nothing. I too prefer Kamaal The Abstract over this, but there have not been many hip-hop releases that have moved me as much as The Renaissance and that's the truth.
So many cuts on this brilliant album I just couldn't stop playing:

it was nominated for a Grammy but did not win
great record
saw him perform it live in Japan! at one point he passed the mic over to me (bcuz I was like the only white guy) during 'Life is Better' Prince - not black, not white........just COOL | |

It was one of a few great albums. Another was Shafiq Husayn 'En A Free Ka'. Release Yourself | |

Yeah, It was in my top 3 of that year. VERY good album. Still spins often here & always brings a smile (as does anything that's the "good shit" in Hip Hop these days.)

That's a great record!
The Renaissance is really great. Love the flow of it. Favorite song is "Shaka". | |

This album has gotten a lot of spins for me
Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

i think it deserved to be a WAYYYYY bigger hit but eh w/e people are to busy wanting to hear Lil Wayne & Wiz!YES!!! We had a thread discussing this album about 6 months ago and it unfortunately had no major hits but should have! It's an excellent CD and I still pull this out during the Summer! Perfect sunshine music. Favorite tracks include: Getting Up, We Fight/We Love, You and Life is Better with Norah Jones The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

There was also a video for ManWomanBoogie that was pretty cool. Excellent CD from an extremely talented dude. Whoever made the call to shelve the Kamaal CD should be tried for treason against real rap! When  go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all  up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |
