Q-Tip's 'THE RENAISSANCE'

[RuffDraft]

That's a great appreciation post :tu

I gotta admit, the album never affected me like it has you, but it's definitely nice... the song you posted is an example of the great production on there... Q-Tip's a musical God.

I still play his first album, Amplified often too.

Potentially my favourite artist of all time along with Masta Ace and a few Indie's. His ATCQ catalog is a joke and he's a legend in every way. I have a DVD of him talking about Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis. You can tell Tip is just a music head, period. Truly gifted. Props to the thread.

The best album of 2008 imo; great body of work. Might listen to it again later tonight or tomorrow

The best album of 2008 imo

Its debatable.

Some say Nas' Untitled, but 'Tip's albums is so fresh

Definitely debatable but I just prefer it as a complete body of work to Untitled, both are great albums though

True. GREAT album. One of my recent favorites.

I just checked Ticketmaster and it says it's only in Manchester and Greenwich... I won't have the money to get to either have those which is a shame

If I had the money to travel I would, I might be able to go to the Manchester one but it'd be a push

Thought he would have done more venues, I was emailed about the Manchester one, not sure if I'll be in the country for it though.

If I gotta travel, I will!!!

He's definitely worth traveling to see!! One of the greats, liking how more and more Artists are taking the trip to Manchester too.

Is expensive, I hear ya. Should use some of the Andy Carroll money ha.

Back to the topic, I'm going to listen to this album again tomorrow :tu
