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

honestly, he's better than pete rock and large professor
when i think about it, he's up there with dr. dre, premier and rza, he ain't get that kind of appeal just because that production credit went to "a tribe called quest"
but nikkas in the know, know q-tip was the nikka behind the boards on that production
q-tip did a lot more than he's ever gotten full credit for

while q-tip said "straight outta compton" influenced him to with makin' "the low end theory", dr. dre has said that "the low end theory" influenced him to make "the chronic"

Everyone, I'd assume. I even had the tape. It was AWFUL. That was the power of Tip, though.


Q-Tip is honestly the most unsung hip hop legend who's actually deserving of the title.

i never bought dee- lite's tape, just had "groove is in the heart" single dubbed on tape :lolbron:
q tip was indeed a powerhouse in the 90's though:mjcry:

@Big Mel out of all his solo albums, which one do you like the most :leon: if any? :lolbron:

i still gotta go roll with amplified, them dilla beats :whew:

No they're not. You can make an argument for Tip, but LP ain't better than Hav on the mic.



Large is better than Hav. Better voice. A more beautiful, positive soul and he gives me chills. I love Hav. Like love, love him. No homo. But Hav is a sick man who struggles with addiction and his soul reflects it.

Large is more positive. Havs flow is way better, and I also like his voice. His addiction is none of my business.
