Q-Tip Dropping New LP, Tribe Done For Now

No new tribe album? come on kamal!! check the (rhyme) history and see how many mcs from successful groups go solo and maintain that success. Not many if any. Tell me who?

I like q-tip but at some point in time he bumped his head. He got a band, talking about a new direction, hasn't he heard of the roots? his last solo album got one listen and it was a wrap!

I didnt cop his first album, but i think it went gold at least. It had "breathe & stop" and "vibrant thing" - two so-so club bangers.

I neva really kared 4 q-tip . I ju5t like that old song sceniro . Bekau5e he killed that 5ong rite there but otha than that nope

Ayo cats get it straight q-tip only like 34-35 years old, jay older than him, and pelle pelle i suggest u cop sum more q-tip joint frum back in da day off midnight maruders and da low end theory

Unfortunate but what can you say? he and us as fans have to move on. Look forward to the new music.

Q-tip is the man agreed, but i wish he'd go back to questing with the tribe. And yea vibrant thing was alrite but nothing compared to atcq material

Can't wait for the new tip album i know he gonna bring that heat. Butta i guess the tribe will hook back up in due time. I didn't know that many people was hatin on kamal like that. Butta howcome on this site, eerybody talkin bout how many albums their favorite artist sold and what not, i guess they sendin yall checks in the mail or somethin i dunno. Tell them to holla at me, cause i'll promote on this site and allhiphop, if they doin that. Shit i'll argue for they ass on every post even if the post isin't about them. If the money is right. Peace and god bless

Ayo liquid5word5 tribe kalled que5t wa5 aight. But wu-tang wa5 betta

^^^sigh these kids and there so called "hiphop" knowledge. Hopefully this album will be tite. His last solo was coo, but atcq albums stay on my mp3 player.

That comment was on bigwalt by the way lol

What the F*ck is everyone here talking about??? 1. A tribe called quest is the best hip hop group of all time 2. Both of q-tip's albums are soooo tight...F*ck*ng kamal the abstract is such a good album 3. This one pissed me off....j-dilla is one of the best producers of all time...if not the best...go listen to welcome to detroit, the first couple slum village albums, champion sound, are jaylib, donuts, the shining, jay loves japan ...all insanely good albums o ya and 4. How the F*ck do you compare 50 and game and all that other bullsh*t to actuall good music. Atcq is famous for their talent and innovation...those other fools are famous for being shot. Those dudes have the wackest skills ever. F*ck off, you guys don"t even know hip hop

I wouldnt mind seeing another atcq album but they should leave it there, coz if there hearts are not into making musik, they are just forcing it and prolly come out sh*t

I dont want to hear another atcq cd...'cause latley groups have been doing that shyt...and they look worse than jordan getting his shot swatted by vince carter. Or even worse when jordan busted his chin on the court diving for a lose ball while younger players were just looking. My point is....even if they came back...i seriously doubt them having what it takes to catch a ear. My favorite is krs....and he constantly drops....and i get em all...but they dont make it to the whip...they stay on the ipod...or on my laptop...period. He just isnt "hot" right now. But i love the lyrical content....thats what is missing "nowadayz"....krs is teaching...uplifting...showing growth. Not just a dance step, repping a city, promoting violence, whore chasing, dope slanging, and drug abusing. If the told a blind person to describe black ppl off what they hear from "rap music" nowadayz...we would be ashamed of ourselves.

Dont know where that had to do what atcq....but like i was expressing....i dont think tip should come back either....i heard a new song with him.....and in one werd...i got to say.............naaaaahhhhh!!!

Well this gose out 2 "jb3 all day" busta ryhmes iz tha answer 2 ya question sucka!!!!

Ill get the bootleg maybe

5hit i'll probaly dub it off of one of my n*gga5 or 5omething

Big walt "tip" is 35, most cats in the game now are, personally, i dont give a phuck how old you are, if your lyrics are tight, then that is all that matters, who decided to try and put an age limit on m.c.'s, hell gil scot heron is still doing music along with many others, if you can make the party sway, than do it, personally q just came out with a joint in 2001 or 2002, so three or four years ago, he definitely has more musical education than most, and lyrically is smarter than all of these wack ass rappers out now, q-tip has alwayz been about elevation, so "check the rhyme". Honestly alot of these ol skool are coming back because they are saying to themselves "shyt i can do two to three times better than a majority of artist out here now" so i dont let nobody in here sway me with that bullshyt age thing, music is music, i'm 35 and know more about hip hop than a majority of you all in here now, so really all haters shut the phuck up!!!

Yo i always liked q-tip and da tribe but i liked wu-tang better (i not saying wu is better i just like there style of rhyme and beats better) but to big walt stay off 50z joc i mean the only ppl in g-unit that can rap is mobb deep and scrappy

Yo bigwalt chill with that idiosy, j-dilla was one of the very best producers the game has ever known. So many artist and producers were made classic vets because of him from ghostface to janet jackson and everyone in between. F*ck with it!

Bigwalt, you have got to be one of the most ignorant mo'fos i've heard in a minute. Forget the raps and beats for a minute. You just disrespected a man that has passed. His impression that he left was admired by some of the many a-holes you prob listen to. Bigwalt do the hiphop community and the human race period a favor and kill yourself!!!

........n*ggaz kill me trying to play a artist out because of his age, especially when most of the top rap starrs are in their 30's anyway...... The best emcees are in their 30's so stop intellectually masturbating because your not changing anybodies mind about the situation..... Just like faggots need to justify and validate their sexuality, so they constently throw it (their sexuality) in our faces in a attempt to normalize and socialize their sexual status...... So do very young people about their age, usually because that's all they have going for them is their ever fleeting youth! so they try and make it seem like 35-40 is too old to rap...... But the truth is, that's when you're at your best....... A steady mind comes with age....... You can not reason correctly without it.......

.........bigwalt, its one thing to dislike someones music, its another thing all together to disrespect the dead the way you are....... You really should check yourself! you wouldn't say none of that sh*t to none of his boys/crew...... Because you know they would make you into a corpse real fast! ........and this may come as a shock to most, but its better to be respected by your peers (F*ck the fans). The fans listen to music they don't make music...... And fans can not appreciate the difficulty in making music, that's why he was respected by other producers....... So F*ck your opinion anyway....

...........bigwalt, you're right about how we say good sh*t about the dead, just because they're dead..... And that can confuse the rest of us that are still living because it stops you from giving the proper respect due to others who are more deserving of that position we gave to the dead person in guestion, i'm feel'n you on that..........i often make the same arguement about 2 pac, although i did have a lot of love for pac don't get me wrong...........but the only thing you're missing is tact...... Be more tactful in your argumement, and people will respect your opinion more......

So dilla "sucks" huh? guess none of you like the following either... Atqc de la soul slum village lucy pearl the roots common busta rhymes erykah badu phat kat frank n' dank bilal mos def chino xl dj jazzy jeff talib kweli proof ohno vivian green ghostface mf doom ag visionaries moka only dwele amp fiddler elzhi guru bahamadia big tone heavy d brand new heavies black star d'angelo bizarre n'dea davenport mood janet jackson the pharcyde platinum pied pipers jaylib and countless others he has produced hits (yes hits kiddies) for. So lets see, dilla "sucks" guess this small list of artist all "suck" as well. Yall probaly have no idea that alot of the old joint you listened to were produced by dilla (he just was called jay dee at the time or went under the ummah) who do yall like again? a different generation it is i guess...cause yall have no idea what yall talking about in regards to j dilla and "sucks."

You do realize j dilla is not new. He has been around. All those artist suck..maybe to you now, but majority of those artist were around during the 90s era of hiphop in which dilla was a huge part of. Again, a different generation so you would have no idea. Can you even name some joint that were produced by dilla that were hits you always heard? oh and how come you cut down my list so much? those other artist you cut out had hit by dilla...so why don't they suck? ghost just recently worked with dilla. You obviously to young to understand as you were not aware in the 90s era of hiphop. Its pretty clear duke. Peace.

.........so goes the way of the negro...... Self hate, disrespect for ones elders, a total lack of cultural chain of command, no direction, no love, just hate.......... A day or two ago i posted some sh*t about the growing skinhead rap music....... I have a question for you all....................if one of those skinheads, with all his hate for n*ggaz was to spit n*gga this and n*gga that on the mic, with no video, would you be able to tell the difference from the hate we spit at each other? i'm not sure, unless he straight up says he's a white boy who is a skinhead..... But anything short of that, i really don't think so....

........p.s., what's more important, your legs, or the floor. Mj or the sport of basketball itself...... The bike, or the peddles, or maybe the wheels.......... The chicken or the egg?

^^^^^once again all of the beats from pretty tone on up were hot to me, the thing is many of these young kids dont know anything about groups like blue magic, the dells, nu birth and the del fonics so when he loops a beat like that to add new flavor, you all fall off, it all has to do with this new generation's lack of muscial history and taste!!!!! point blank!! blind leading the blind!!! if dont know your past and fully embrace and understand and hold it as a torch, you will never have anything to hold on to in the future !!! and that is a true philosophy and fact !!!! because it leads to shyt like this !!!

Exclamation points !!!

Ok so i just wanted to say that all this trash talkin' about how j dilla didn't do anything for the hip hop culture is straight bu@#$h&t... Come on... Really? he was hip hop in it's truest form... He finished most of the donuts album from his hospital bed in pain... Show some respect... He did his last tour in a wheelchair... And he did it all for the love of our culture... For all of you out there talking all this @#$% hip hop has now and always will be about love and unity not bling and b@#$&... Q-tip and a tribe called quest are pioneers in this... Please believe and stop being small minded... Elevate... Dilla lives!!! peace ya'll

How is someone hating on a period of time (early 90's) and then claiming that it wasn't anything til nas, dre, and wu came along. I could be wrong, but those artist also part of that era. They are the same thing. I believe your argument doesn't even agree with itself. Do you hate the 80's too?

Respect your elders Bia'ches!!! what the F*ck...you muthaF*ckas got it twisted if you think the bukksh*t that's coming out now is better than the stuff that quest put out. I don't F*ck*n get it. This dude is a muthaF*ck*n legend and yall punk Bia'ches don't know anything about him. That's just a testament to how illiterate cats who claim the new sh*t is better. If nothing else, pay your respect, you little Bia'ches!!! and for those of you who are lucky enough, you'll get to live long enough to be a legend too. For most ppl to get to be a living legend, they got to be like 50 or 60. Tip is only 36, and should have all you hoes on his tip!

And by the way, there would be no dilla if there were no tribe...truth be told, tribes worst albums were the ones that dilla did.

I just want to know if there is a way to get in touch with him . And i agree with phifedoya. Real hip hop caem from the native tounges. And anyone who dont know should ask someone instead of being ignorant. Tip is 36 and im not a hoe but i been on the tip for years, was sad when they ended. And am (at 37 yrs old) sad to see what the younguns have done to hiphop for my children. The tribe was music to my ears and my momma's she love bonita applebaum. There is nothing on a current rap cd that she would listen to now and truth be told as nas put it hip hop is dead just a bunch of fools rapping about nothing and disrepecting everything there forefathers faught for them to have. And if q-tip reads this. I love you and will forever you are who i think of when i hold my pillow at night for the 17th year in a row d

Real hip hop will never die. Lets pay respect to a legend. Check out this j-dilla tribute i found at dot mhysppace dot com/ripjdilla
