Q-Tip To Drop 2 Albums in '07

Former A Tribe Called Quest frontman Q-Tip has been quiet for too long, but 2007 should put an end to all that. Tip is gearing up for a pair of solo albums this year, leading with his Universal Motown release of The Renaissance.

You can expect another change in sound from Q-Tip, as he recorded the album with a “hip-hop band.” "I wanted a hip-hop sonic feel, something pure to the sound of hip-hop with real drums, real emotion and people taking solos," he told Billboard. "In that sense this record feels like we're moving in a new direction ... something hip-hop should do."

While it’s a safe bet that the album wasn’t complete, September saw a mysterious Tip album called Open leak on the Internet. Clearly backed by a band and featuring Andre 3000, Common and D’Angelo – the very same guests slated to appear on The Renaissance – it seems as if the cat is out of the bag.

Speaking of leaked, yet-to-be-released albums, his shelved 2001 album Kamaal The Abstract will get an official release this year, equipped with some bonus tracks. No release date for either has been given yet.

you're crazy, Tribe may get their props but Tip never gets his props as a solo artist, you never hear anyone talk about Tip, its always just talk about Tribe.

Because he barely has any solo shit. What does he have... Amplified? That's it, he gets props for the shit he's put out, but he's pushed more shit with Tribe then solo, therefore gettin' more props for the more shit he's been on.

im talking about his guest verse's and shit, you have any idea how many times ive heard people be like

Them - "Q-Tip....who the fuck is Q-Tip?"

Me - "that cat with the ill voice from A Tribe Called Quest"

Them - "the 1 with the buddy holly glasses?"

Me - "yup thats him"

Then - "oh, well I heard his shit outside Tribe isnt even that good" *skips track*

dude was like the main person from Tribe but people dont even know who the fuck he is outside the group, Tips name holds no weight as a solo artist when really dude kills every guest verse thrown his way

Nah, his guest verses ain't his solo shit, his guest verses are his GUEST VERSES. solo shit would be his albums that are by himself. and don't overrate him, he's nice, but he def. doesn't 'kill every guest verse thrown his way'.

I beg to differ my friend, ive never heard a wack Tip guest verse. and yeah guest verse are guest verse but they're under his SOLO NAME, im not just talking about solo tracks, im talking about him as a solo artist period, dude just doesnt get the recognition he deserves outside of Tribe.

Don't ride his dick, the guest verses I've heard him spit can be dope, others are mediocre, and others are simply whack. He can be dope, or whack as fuck, his solo and guest verse shit is to unpredictable.
