Elliot Wilson caught up with the legendary rapper Q-Tip in Brooklyn just before A Tribe Called Quest hit the Barclays stage in support of Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ tour and spoke on if The Quest would be performing for the very last time, his love for DJing, recent collaboration track ‘Thank You’ with Busta Rhymes and casually reveals that he and Rick Rubin will be producing Kanye’s next album.
Cash, jewellery, drinks & chicks is the make up for Busta’s latest split screen visual for his soul infused track ‘Thank You’ which features Q Tip and expert ad-lib skills from Kanye West & Lil Wayne.
Ever since his signing with Cash Money it’s safe to say Busta has been missing in action but today he returns with a new cut titled ‘Thank You’ which sees him go back & forth with Q-Tip over some funk inspired production. Busta’s forthcoming album ‘E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event) 2’ is expected to drop sometime next year.
Ice-T drops the official trailer for his upcoming documentary “Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap” which will feature a who’s who of hip hop including Kanye West, Eminem, Nas, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Common, DJ Premier, Q-Tip, Raekwon & more. Not sure how different this is going to be from the hundreds of other hip hop documentaries but we shall see, peep the trailer below…
It was announced yesterday that Q-Tip had signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label and today we get to hear how that deal came about as he called in to Hot 97’s Breakfast Show to chop it up with Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg.
