I feel like Q-Tip should be mentioned in the same breath as Premo and Pete Rock

The main reason is because he isn't credited as the producer of Tribe's albums when he really was. He said in the ATCQ documentary that he produced all 3 albums but said it wasn't about him, it was about the group. Up until I saw the doc I always thought Ali Shaheed Muhammad made the beats and Q-Tip threw in his 2 cents every now and then. So, yes, that's the main reason why he isn't seen in the upper echelons of hiphop producers.
