Q-Tip's 'THE RENAISSANCE'

[rip.dilla]

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

It was a life changing experience for me

Dilla's passing played a huge part in the making of the album

Q-Tip is coming to the UK in August I believe, for all UK heads on here.

[NatTurner1972]

Yeah this album is a classic and slept on MOS DEF RIP J. Dilla

haha get it from UGHH, it's quite cheap on there :tu Great album, not my favourite though by any means, just that it matches the s/n.

Yeah this album is a classic and slept on MOS DEF RIP J. Dilla

I'm surprised with how many people really dug this album on that level, it was definitely a sleeper when it was released but never left the lasting effect on members following its release (or at least it didn't seem to).

Playing it again now :tu

You heading there? That'll be a great show, I heard Illa J was coming over, his album was really good, which was surprising.

Just finished listening to The Renaissance again, great album, no doubt.

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

hahaha...

And I might give it another listen later... I've had that Weeknd mixtape on replay all week though

Amplified kinda made me not check for any of his solo shit. I like Vibrant thing but not really a lot and it was kinda odd to see him in that light. I will check on this album because I've actually heard others say this was a good project. Even okayplayer.com gave it a decent rating

Amplified was cool. He and Dilla worked on it which gave it its familiarity. It had those club bangers and its his most popular work till date.

This album, however is way more polished than Amplified and it made me go searching and copping everything with Tip's name on it

See, I was already a big Q-Tip fan from his Tribe Called Quest days, so I picked up Amplified and was slightly disappointed with it at first as you state, but the more I listened to it, the more I appreciated it, it was a solid release and I'm unsure as to which artist it was in the underground (tempted to say Fashawn), but it was his favourite album of all time (which is strange to say the least, but obviously an acquired taste).

It's definitely a better release than Amplified after more listens, props on the thread as I wouldn't have listened to it for another long while.

I didn't think I'd like it... but it turned out to be good. Best R&B release I've heard in ages

Listened to Renaissance again earlier and I forgot how good the album was too, might listen to Untitled as well actually

I'm a huge tribe fan so that is what made me check for Amplified, shit I even got Phife dogs solo joint after they broke up the group. That shit wasn't that great either. LOL. Those 3 guys need each other to make that quality sound.

Agreed, a friend of mine met Phife in London, said he was a humble dude.

Tribe released such great albums, be interesting to see what this documentary is like...

As for The Renaissance, think you should check it out, as after more listens, it's a really great release :tu
