Q-Tip..up close and personal
If you don't know, Q-Tip is hip-hop royalty who is indelibly imprinted in our minds and hearts as the raspy-voiced leader of A Tribe Called Quest. ATCQ for short. Here's his Q&A session in LA with old skool fans like me!
"Hello...this is your Midnight Marauders program, we hope that you will find our presentation precise, bass-heavy and 'just right'...thanks!"
You have to remember the jazz inspired album, Midnight Marauders, with those (double) basslines, horns and vibes that only a jazz head could capture. Creating a seamless rap album from fragments of disparate music that went platinum raised the bar for all artists and was a milestone in hip-hop history. Q-Tips lyrics were always poetry without being vulgar or violent. The man is a genius and still true to the game.
