 Heard This Before...

| ... And I still love the sound. Think "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" from A Tribe Called Quest debut release and mash it with the soft rock of the '70s from artists such as Steely Dan and Seals and Croft. If you're expecting and want that ill nasal flow and the jazz beats from Tip then you will be disappointed. If you want something away from the norm, then buy this CD. Tre Hardson, Cee Lo, Andre 3000, and Phonte from Little Brother have all "re-invented" their perspective of Hip Hop. Q-Tip has done the same and it's a musical success. |

I have been watching for this to come out for years. I heard about Q-Tip's problems with the record company pulling it from distribution so i looked for any copy of it i could. Unfortunatly i couldn't find one i could afford ( copies were going for $50 and up!) Even though its years and years later im glad i got this one. I'm a long time big big big fan of TCQ. I love this one because it represents what i believe to be true Hip Hop. Q-Tip kinda ticked me off when he came out with those crappy solo projects like Amplified. He strayed to much from his deep Hip Hop roots with that one i think. He fell slave to the "bling bling", age and it didnt work. After that i figured he completely sold out. Not his fault though. gotta do what you gotta do right? LOL
Im glad this was finally released. This is truly "Grown Folks Music" that was released early 2000s when we really needed it but had to wait 7 to 8 more years!. Its a breath of fresh air and i hope to hear more like it. My favorite is Blue Girl....man that one is TIGHT! But i love the whole CD. (sorry no MP3s for me, im truly old school and like to read the liner notes). Plus i love that he's singing too. Not the best singer but you can tell he's sincere. If Pharell can pull it off so can Q! LOving this one all the way. Please keep it up Q-tip. This is that smooth hip hop sound us beatheads love to hear! Go on grown man! |

| I do like jazz BUT from jazz artist. Q-tip has that unique voice and it has been awhile since Q-tip has put something out there and I was really looking forward to that Q-tip style, don't get me wrong I do like Q-tip because he is a deep lyrist and I wanted the Q-tip vibe!!!! |

| This was supposed to be his second album intended to be released years ago. This album has a smooth jazz sound to it and I absolutely love it when I pop this CD in to go drive at night. It's definitely a keeper. |

| This album is very good. It is really Funky though. Not as much lyricism as ATCQ albums, but it is still amazing. Mostly live band stuff, this is a very very funky funky album. It has a lot of jazz elements and groove to it. I think that if this album had came out on its original due date, it may not have been that well received. I really think this album is for true music lovers. |
