In an exclusive interview with XXLMag.com, A Tribe Called Quest frontman, Q-Tip, reveals he’s forming a new group with Common entitled The Standard. “Me and Common [are] getting ready to form a group,” ‘Tip tells XXLMag.com. “We’ll probably run it through the Uni [Universal Records] joint because we’re both on Universal.” According to The Abstract, it was Common who suggested the two from a group. “It was more of his suggestion,” he says. “He was like, “We just need to do a record.” So I’m really excited about that.” While the two haven’t started recording together yet, The Standard will start churning out material once the two starting touring together in a few weeks. As far as the production on the album, though, fans can expect Q-Tip to handle the majority. “I’m probably gonna do a lot of it,” ‘Tip says. “And we’ll get Kanye [West] on a couple things, but you know, that cat is busy.”
Finally, real hip hop returns.
This will be great for hip hop. Q-tip is already a good producer but if kanye pitches in to help it could be a classic. The 25 and younger kids must listen to the A Tribe Called Quest albums Q-tip did and the early Common albums also- Classic hip hop!! The new rappers are only influenced about sex, money, drugs and cars. Rappers like Q and Common make you think about more meaningful topics that are in our daily lives motivate us to be better people.
A good Producer? are you crazy, Q-tip is a legendary producer…he produced the majority of the Tribe Albums, that alone would put him i the Hip Hop hall of fame, not to mention Tracks on the 1st Mobb Deep Classic Album, and Nas’s Illmatic!…Even without KAnyes tracks, the group is fine on the production side!
I just burnt myself with a cigar reading this. AMEN!
Only time will tell
