Gettin’ Up” is fast turning into one of my favorite singles of the year. The video is similarly none too shabby, with Tip adopting the hipster Davey Crockett look (remember where you heard it first) and topping it off with a garish splash of Humpty Hump.
The release date for The Renaissance is currently November 4th. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. After all, it seems a bit much to ask for a major label to y’know actually release a rap album where the rapper isn’t posing shirtless on the cover? What a novelty.
And for the record, I call bullshit on the Abstract’s claim that he produced everything on the first three Tribe albums. If so, what were you paying Ali Shaheed Muhammed for? Official Q-Tip wallet holder? His sermons on how to avoid “bugging out?” Ballet lessons?
