Q-Tip
Busta Rhymes dropped a certified feel-good record in his Q-Tip, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West-assisted single “Thank You.” Today, the veteran MC builds on the track’s bubbling popularity by debuting an accompanying visual.
Not everybody in the G.O.O.D. Music family has to agree on music, or fashion. Q-Tip, who is signed to G.O.O.D. Music via Def Jam, took to Twitter yesterday (November 8) to slam the Confederate flag and the tradition of racism and oppression it stands for.
Q-Tip has joined Instagram. That itself is no big deal (kinda late, just saying), but what is notable is that the Abstract Poetic’s first post is an image of the original lyric sheet for A Tribe Called Quest’s “Check The Rhime.”
Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of The Great Gatsby may be old news, but the music from the accompanying soundtrack has yet to run its course. Today, we receive a treatment for a standout song called “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got),” featuring Fergie, GoonRock and Q-Tip.
Australian group Hiatus Kaiyote have a certified groove on their hands with “Nakamarra.” Legendary A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip thinks so as well, and he added a verse to the track to prove it.
Q-Tip has a wealth of knowledge to share anytime he sits down for an interview. As part of the Red Bull Music Academy, the Abstract had a two-hour chat with renowned journalist Chairman Mao. Besides speaking on a plethora of topics about his career, the A Tribe Called Quest rapper played a snippet of unreleased Kanye […]

You finally have a chance to judge for yourself, as we receive the first official offering from the project with “A Little Party Never […]
Legendary MC and G.O.O.D. Music recruit Q-Tip performed at a Heineken sponsored concert in Philadelphia last weekend and discussed what he’s been working on lately. The most notable topics covered were Q-Tip’s forthcoming solo effort The Last Zulu and G.O.O.D. Music’s rumored Cruel Winter project.
They just do not make posse cuts like this anymore. Last weekend at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, Busta Rhymes reunited with Leaders Of The New School and was joined by A Tribe Called Quest to perform the all-time great posse cut “Scenario.” As pointed out by my boy Meka of 2DopeBoyz, “This is quite possibly […]
Q-Tip will have some interesting collaborations on his forthcoming G.O.O.D. Music debut. For his inaugural project on Ye’s label, the Queens MC revealed features from the likes of Kendrick Lamar and D’Angelo.
Q-Tip is weighing in on Gwyneth Paltrow’s n-word “tweeting scandal,” and he’s upset with Russell Simmons for defending the Oscar winner. Uncle Rush wrote a blog post on his Global Grind website yesterday about the history of the n-word, in a foolish attempt to remove some of the “power” behind the word.
Yesterday, news broke of Barack Obama telling the The Atlantic that he preferred Jay-Z to Kanye West; going as far as saying that the latter was “a talented jackass.” Recent G.O.O.D. Music signee Q-Tip begs to differ, though. “Kanye’s not a jackass—that’s my boy, I know him,” Q-Tip told New York magazine’s Daily Intel column at BAM’s […]
