When I was 19y.o., at the time, when Bonita Applebum came out, I knew I was in love with Q- Tip and his style🩶. Then about 10+ years later, I fell in love with Pharell and his style💙. Then some years later, I found out that Pharell was influenced by A Tribe Called Quest. So it all makes sense to me 😊❤.
Thank you Jay Dilla should you say. He produced most of the album's beats. He was one nasty producer from Detroit. The best to do it in my opinion. LNP
It’s true. I would add that they were both prodigious, borderline virtuoso in their composition. Perhaps they were even the last of the best? Worthy of reverence.
This is why rappers like q tip common talib mos def skee lo pharoe monch are great no swears killing or dissin women in thier rhymes just makes you feel good positivity that s hip hop
I slept on Tip and ATCQ as a whole till recently. Don’t know why I’m just waking up. 🤷🏽♀️ I guess it’s because I’m from Down South, so I listened to a lot of Southern artists growing up: Outkast, Goodie Mob, 2LC, 8B &MJG, etc...I never knew Tip was so deep. 🤦🏽♀️
Damn Q-Tip had joints on this album. This track was definitely slept on. I had to do a double take on the truck in this video tho. All these years had no clue it's a Lamborghini Jeep. It's the LM002.
That's good he's giving Outkast a shout out on the song being that they are both A Tribe Called Quest fans. That why I was glad that Andre' 3000 was featured on the last Tribe album released in 2016. Too bad Big Boi didn't appear on the track "Kids" with Andre 3000 so it would be an Outkast feature instead of one member of the group. Nevertheless it was a great collaboration.
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be amongst Motown's finest! Rest In Beats
Untouchable period in Hip Hop..everybody won no matter if it was GangStarr, A T ribe Called Quest,Wu-Tang, RedMan,Heavy D(RIP) QTIPs sound has been so consistent for soo many years for the people that he's produced (NAS,Keith Murray,Busta Rhymes etc,) plus QTIPs remixes have also been insane.
Albums like "Amplified" "Blackout"- Redman/ Method Man, "Chronic 2001" -Dr. Dre., "Nastradamus" -Nas and many other Hip Hop albums closed out the 90's.
I have always loved this smooth Jam! ❤️ One of the Classic Hip Hop Songs of all time by Q-Tip! 💯 This legendary song was produced by the legendary J. Dilla (February 7, 1974 - February 10, 2006) - Born (James Dewitt Yancey). For those who don't know, J. Dilla was most one of the most influential producers in a generation. Although his life was short, he made an impact in Hip Hop culture! 💯 RIP Dilla! 🔥🙏🏾
This dude right here changed the game and many don't know it. This dude spun many beats, rhymes and yes, life for many artists... and along side Phife, to me, the most explosive duo in hip hop history... smoking a bowl and reminiscing my teenage years.. love this right here....
love the jazz type guitar riffing everywhere it's completely apart from the rap and the drum and bass and noises and at the sametime it's like the backbone of the tune, damn brilliant makes you think wow that's abstract but nice abstract
So Dope, that we must Cope with understanding and guidance from the Almighty and stay on the path, God in heaven deliver Us from evil and keep us always winning with blessings in route. 🛐

I should've guessed it was J Dilla. This sample is literally addictive
Dilla always nails the assignment 🔨🕊️
Q-tip man... Please produce more songs... Don't fade away man!!!
Stay smiling -Tupac The Abstract can NEVER fade away!
Produced by J Dilla as well!!
He didn't make the beat yo, that being said qtip is a monster of a producer too.
There's always confusion about who produced what, Q-tip and Dilla even said so
u not heard .want you to want me.. feat Kendrick.. That's recent from Qtip
QTip is an "upper echelon" artist. How is he not more recognized?!
But he is! Believe me, Tip is appreciated! We're blessed to experience the essence.
He is recognized...most of his fan base is just underground!

Come on man.. don’t you know? 95% hasn’t got style or class in their music choice. No funk in their genes 😂
Q-Tip has the best flow in rap history, the way his lines always fits to the beat is a pleasure to listen to
Have you...ever heard Slick Rick???
@@nsamuels13 actually not heard much slick rick but gonna check him out now, cheers!
2 years later but MF DOOM mastered flow and rhymes in his songs too, might be worth checking out if you ain’t heard of him
@@darkshogun4131 Thanks dude, yeah I've heard of him but haven't listened to his stuff, will check it out cheers!

Q-Tip remains one of the greatest versatile artists. RIP J Dilla
22 years after this song was released and It's still a vibe
Wow man!!! I can’t believe it’s been that long
Oh damn! I was about to tell you that NO.. it hasn't been 22 years since its release and it definitely has... wow. AND IT'S STILL BUMPIN!❤❤❤❤❤
Loved seeing Busta in the beginning!
Wow, musical intelligence on so many levels. The jazz, the beat, the rhyme, the ideas conveyed; thank you Abstract :)
I truly agree
Thank you Jay Dilla should you say. He produced most of the album's beats.
He was one nasty producer from Detroit.
The best to do it in my opinion.

2024 Grooving with Tip and a phat number on the deck letting the neighbors get Qtipped lol!!
Song was so slept on! Barely hear people put this on the mix during peak radio mixes!
Joshua Harris, true. I was spinnin back then and played this joint RELIGIOUSLY.
I played it hard!

nah this was big when the album dropped. #3 after the singles, easily.
@@CodyCole80 no cap qtip is a LEGEND
The 90s gave us the most outstanding diverse creative hip hop on so many levels. Love from Scotland.
The Greatest Decade ever actually…

Damn Q-Tip had joints on this album. This track was definitely slept on. I had to do a double take on the truck in this video tho. All these years had no clue it's a Lamborghini Jeep. It's the LM002.
You can own one too - an 89 with 30k miles for $295,000!
Definitely slept on. I still, to this day listen to this. Such a bop.
They wasn’t fucking ready
I'll probably be bumpin' this in my ride till I die. Love Q and Tribe.
Q-Tip one of the greatest to ever do it.
awh, Jay Dee's producing is one of a kind
R.I.P. J Dilla
KardiFan2000 Wait He made this?

Bro, Q-Tip was crazy as shit with his sound selection, know Dilla had a part in that though.
@@complexmind8041 Yeah man, and Q-Tip had also a part in Dilla's development. Both Giants
Stop sample snitching…
@@ThisNameRulesnigga google has had the samples for these for a while get over it
Thank you dilla thank you Q-Tip

Him and Jezzy got two of the illest voices in rap
Q-Tip you're the greatest MC of our age R.I.P. Phife
OUTKAST BANGIN LOUD IN MY EARDRUM
That's good he's giving Outkast a shout out on the song being that they are both A Tribe Called Quest fans. That why I was glad that Andre' 3000 was featured on the last Tribe album released in 2016. Too bad Big Boi didn't appear on the track "Kids" with Andre 3000 so it would be an Outkast feature instead of one member of the group. Nevertheless it was a great collaboration.
Swear to God. This is one of the GREATEST beats ever in Hip Hop.🔥🙏🏾
God Bless Dilla
@@mosescharles No doubt. Even when it was on a Pharcyde or Busta album in the 90s I was a fan of him before I even knew it lol
Bruh I was fresh outta high school when this dropped
I was still in middle school when this was released. It was probably the best era in hip hop imo.
Abstract is the Champ!
(0:36) “Mos Def, Jay, Prince, and Stevie
Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, and Biggie”
DJ BFAD I wish he you've added Talib Kweli
Good music.
He surely got taste :-)
Sounds like my playlist
That's whats up.
who else still bumpin this in 2023 tho!!!
Still rockin in 2024
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be amongst Motown's finest! Rest In Beats
Rap over Giant Steps is something I never thought would work
"fuel injected, brand new inspected, emissions got tested, detail perfected" = BARS!!!!!
Ayo,this one of my favorite Dilla beats,and he got many 🏆
This is real hip hop folks. This is the stuff men and women danced together to back when we weren't so divided.
One of the most underrated songs from Mr. Tip. Q, you crazy for this one.
This might be my fav Dilla beat
One of the greatest smoothest rap songs ever tip always been a great artist
U know I hate using this word but Qtip does not get talked about as much as he should.Underrated.
Miss this era of hip hop
Respect for J.Dilla❤️
This makes me so nostalgic for a time period i never experienced... Such a great beat and vibe 🤠
Welcome to the party. I know what you mean. Seems like music on a different vibe totally.
Came for J dilla's beats stayed for Q-tips flow
I'm never gonna stop listening to Qtip
haven’t stopped
That John Coltrane sample is nice
Also Joe Pass
@@emanatingf also J dilla
Joe pass, giant steps.
This is a Joe Pass guitar riff.
Isn't Coltrane, It's a Joe Pass sample, sampled by the master JD
This has been my favorite song since the 7th grade 🥰 I know it word for word. This the perfect chill song, especially at night under the stars 🌃
Str8 up me as well word for word
@Angelo Pittrell that's so dope, lol
Feels more like a sunny day song but will have to check it out as I’m riding through the city at night 😊
@jaimooreable and I will listen to this song on a sunny day while I'm driving my 18 wheeler 😎❤️🤙🏾 thank you for the suggestion
Q-tip is hellified producer! He and his group always had creative differences! Not taking away from Muhammad!
One of the most underrated producers of all time, my GOAT next to Pharrell, best to ever do it, in my top 5... LOVE LOVE QTIP!!
Love you brother. Dig that be safe and take life slon. Peace 🙏🙏
Giant steps sample presumably by Joe Pass and Q-Tip spitting on it. ..
- damn.
One of the best songs ever made.
The TIPSTER. A classic example of a track that has been slept on, unless u were a fan from the start. PROPZ GIVEN!!!
Chilled nineties drive...
dilla went in on this beat fr
Giant Steps, yo!!!! Hell yes. That was pretty daring to sing a hook on those changes and he swooshed that shit.
Q Tip one of the best producers ever in hip hop!
Vibe innnn
Props for keeping Giant Steps alive, among other iconic pieces of music.
One of the most elegant song
Untouchable period in Hip Hop..everybody won no matter if it was GangStarr, A T ribe Called Quest,Wu-Tang, RedMan,Heavy D(RIP) QTIPs sound has been so consistent for soo many years for the people that he's produced (NAS,Keith Murray,Busta Rhymes etc,) plus QTIPs remixes have also been insane.
I love when he raps about upper echelons and abstracts ❤
Giant Steps has always been the best beat
Such a tight, sweet groove. Once in a while I just circle back to hear some Q-tip.
One of the most underrated beats in hip hop
Perfect. PERFECT!!!!!
damn what a decade
Albums like "Amplified" "Blackout"- Redman/ Method Man, "Chronic 2001" -Dr. Dre., "Nastradamus" -Nas and many other Hip Hop albums closed out the 90's.
Beat is so 🔥
Q-tip is so beautiful i'm starting too have a huge crush on him 😔😍 Oh and let's not forget how tremendously talented he is. The 🐐
The bomb
