The album is obviously amazing but a true experience is seeing Q-tip in his solo shows promoting this album. He absolutely destroys every venue he plays. The energy that he projects on stage is unmatched by every performer I’ve ever seen. I saw him last night and I’m still reeling. Flawless.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and real review of a member of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time. I am thirty-five years young and remember all the ages of hip-hop that you have indicated. I have been disenchanted by the state of hip-hop as of late…so instead of hating I’ve just moved on. So when I remember that it was Midnight Marauders, Illmatic, Chronic, Mass Appeal just to name a few that pepper my college life. I was somewhat content to give Kanye West the reigns of my listening ear. However, I can now truly rejoice!! Hip-hop (real that is) is securely back and Q-Tip has authenically given me an excuse to be proud of the music I have grown up on. “Dance on Glass” instantly hooked me as with “Wont Trade, You, We Fight…, Life is Better, Believe and Shaka” and from there I can truly listen to each and every track with a refreshing ear and understanding that Tip has created a movement of vigorous artistic and intellectual acheivement, the very definition of renaissance. So I will now give a bellow, a cry, a chant and yes even a yell to all in the hip-hop game….Please give us more options like this.

This album is grooves my balls off. I could go for a new Black Sheep album while we’re talking golden age. There’s just so much in life the Sugar-Dick-Daddy Mista Lawnge should be breaking down.

Hip-Hop as a genre has been kinda run into the ground and really needs people like Q-Tip, Gang Starr, Eric B and Rakim to renergize a once vital art form.

Totally didn’t expect this or even know it was being released. Excellent surprise and I’m happy for the guy!

I have been listening to it non-stop this week. I completely agree with everything you’ve said here today. With a few exceptions, Hip Hop has totally shit the bed. I’m so sick of Lil’ Wayne, it seems he’s on every freakin’ record I here.

Check out The Knux, I really think you’ll like the Dave. Outkastish if I were to compare them to somebody, but very refreshing.
