90’s hip hop heads should love this interview with BBC’s BenjiB who hosts the story of hip-hop legend Q-Tip - founding member of A TribeCalled Quest. Hear from Q-Tip at length as well as Pharrell, Nas, The Pharcyde
and more.
A Tribe Called Quest helped create a new wave of hip-hop in
the 90's with their innovative sound, style and message. Q-Tip's production in
particular has helped shape hip-hop right through to today, with artists likeKanye and Pharrell citing him as one of their biggest influences. Benji speaks
at length with Tip about his musical upbringing in Queens in the 70's,
releasing a debut LP as a teenager, his reluctance to fame and the part he
played in introducing the late J Dilla to the world.
There is also an exclusive Tribe announcement and Tip gives
more details about his forthcoming LP - The Last Zulu, which he describes as
'The Evil twin to Tribe'.
