Consequence ft. Q-Tip, Large Professor & Havoc - Fake I.D.

   Consequence feat. Q-Tip, Large Professor og Havoc: Fake I.D. by Restless.dk

Consequence seems to really be going out of his way to have a different vibe than G.O.O.D. Music.
As if his friends from the block came to him like "what's up with your boys?" and he's got to validate himself in the hood again.  I hope it's not the case.  He (and his fans) are way too damn old to be worrying about street cred.

Kanye West ft. Talib Kweli & Consequence - Chain Heavy

Yeah, yeah, I know what I said before...but this is only an iTunes bonus track.  Not on the actual rekkid itself...so yeah.

Q-Tip on them beats.
Kanye sounding kinda College Dropout on this one.
And as far as Consequence goes, I'm still waiting for an explanation of this shit.

'Quence's cousin, Q-Tip on them beats...and he killed it.
This is outstanding.  REALLY mad that I didn't have this for the weekend.
On Consequence's upcoming Cons TV.

FLASHBACK: Black Eyed Peas ft. Q-Tip, Cee-Lo, Talib Kweli & John Legend - Like That

2005.
Dammit, I love that song.
It's the only positive contribution BEP has made to music in the Fergie era.
Run that Kweli verse back again, son.

OLD SCHOOL: Mobb Deep - Give Up The Goods (Instrumental)

Really don't need the lyrics.  Thanks to the last few years of his ridiculousness, I can't take anything with Prodigy's voice on it seriously.
Did you know Q-Tip did this beat?
Yup.  How's your brain feel?

Q-Tip ft. Norah Jones - Life Is Better

Q-Tip feat. Norah Jones- "Life Is Better"


So there's no confusion, this song is from last year's The Renaissance, not the new Kamaal The Abstract.

Q-Tip- Barely In Love

I wish I knew Q-Tip was on TV last night. D'aaaah well.
However...you need to stop what you're doing right this minute and buy this.

No, for real. Buy it now.

Q-Tip on the "Kamaal The Abstract" Album

MTV Shows

Kamaal the Abstract is somewhere between being the Loch Ness monster and the backpacker Chinese Democracy...but on Sept. 15, the urban legend will finally become reality.

I love a good back story. And what's up with MTV and all this relevant (to me, anyway) content in the last few weeks?! I am impressed.

Remember These Dudes?: BEP Edition

Remember back when having Black Eyed Peas in your ears didn't make you want to commit a viloent crime against anyone in the vicinity?

Let's go back to the good times, shall we...


Yes, indeed, sir...that is the jam.



(Hi, Esthero. Still waiting.)

Now, in the interest of fairness, I have to say that everything "recent" from BEP hasn't lead me to punch school children. They have released one ridiculously great jam in the Fergie Ono era that get's the permanent rotation stamp...buuuut no one seemed to care or notice when it came out.

Jam that shit:

Prince ft. Q-Tip - Chocolate Box

Unfortunately, the actualy song is pretty dry...but it's so dope that this even exists that I had to post it.

Q-Tip ft. Kanye West & Consequence - We Fight, We Love (Remix)

Fantastic...
Love the fact that this throws in the Michael Jakson touch like the live version (which I posted a ways back, but I'm entirely too lazy to find and link back to right now).

::Post-breakfast time warp::

OK . . .here it is.

Q-Tip ft. Busta Rhymes, Raekwon & Lil' Wayne - Renaissance Rap (Remix)

Yezzur!
Have some.

Q-Tip - We Fight/We Love

Q-Tip - Conan O'Brien - 1/19/2009
by 3030fm

I usually don't bother to post live performance vids, but this jam so efphin' smooth with a live band, that I couldn't resist. And the band goes into a "Heartbreak Hotel" (screw you, Elvis. Mike's is better) breakdown too? Shiiiiiiit.

FILM THE VIDEO!!!

Q-Tip ft. Amanda Diva - Manwoomanboogie

3 weeks later, I'm still coming to grips with the fact that Q-Tip might be a better live DJ than he is an emcee. That's too much Hip-Hop for one person. Spread the wealth, Q-Tip. Spread the wealth.

Q-Tip Surprise.

So Q-Tip was rockin House of Blues in Vegas...
You'll never guess who decided to make an appearance.

Black Ivory - You And I

For anyone who was wondering what Q-Tip sampled for "Gettin' Up".
What? I was the only one?

Eh . . .whatevs. This is the jam anyway. And how dope is that album cover?
