GEEZUS! My man Q-Tip's new album "The Renaissance" has been postponed twice by Universal/Motown. When is the damn thang coming out? You can check out new song "Gettin' Up" on his myspace page HERE. Q-Tip has also had two previous albums "Kamaal The Abstract" '02 & "Open" '05 get frozen in limbo land due to label disputes. How much bad luck can one man have? He released a "new" album "Abstract Innovations" earlier this year as an import. Huh? This cat just can't seem to ge... MORE

Calling all A Tribe Called Quest fans! The long awaited follow up to Q-Tip's last album Amplified will finally hit shelves this October in the form of The Renaissance. Fans haven't heard a terrible amount from tip since 2002's unreleased Kamaal The Abstract project, so just about everyone is excited about this. The 9 song album opens with "Shaka", which includes Barack Obama vocals over a guitar laden beat. The songs inclusion is tentative at this point because Tip ne... MORE

Q-Tip played a fantastic concert in West Hollywood, CA on Sunday night according to numerous reports around the web. It's no surprise that the crowd cheered widely until he appeared on stage again for an encore. But little did the crowd know that the encore was going to outshine the rest of the concert. Some are saying it was the best encore ever, when Q-Tip brought a special surprise guest on stage - Stevie Wonder! Tip had started the encore with "Vibrant Thing" and "... MORE

Got a last minute ticket to see Q-Tip at the Independent in San Francisco.
He came hard and nostalgic with all of the old Tribe shit (see:Bonita Appelbaum, Scenario, Butter, Jazz) He only performed a few of his new tracks (and they were pretty underwhelming).
If you get a chance to check him out, do it, and while you're at it, please send out reconciliatory vibes to get Tribe back together to put out a new album.

XXL got a hold of the full version of Q-Tips new track Work It Out. Previously the song had only been available as a snippet on his official myspace page. Details about the new album are scarce, but it's reportedly titled "The Renaissance", and will be released in september on Universal. In a brief interview with SOHH last month, Q-Tip noted that there will be no guest appearances on the album. It's been quite a while since his last solo effort therefore he wante... MORE

Why? 1. I just found out, he and I share a birthday: April 10. (Thanks, I just turned 23, and my man Tip is... 37. Wow. One of those elder statesmen of the rap game, I guess.) 2. He's the type of cat to just go right ahead and rap over one of the finest beats from J Dilla's unreleased Motown CD (a flip of "Dancing Machine") and then straight put it on his Myspace page as the only song. If this is released any other way, I have not heard about it. Listen! Listen to Dill... MORE
