Q-Tip - The Renaissance
Came out a few months back I think, and I've heard his name mentioned around here a few times (Deesha  ), but I thought this one might warrant his own thread.
I don't claim to know anything about hip-hop, but to me the sound here is kinda like that laid-back sound you get with some of Kanye's, Lupe Fiasco's, Common's stuff... but then again, I might get shot down for saying that - I know how 'territorial' people get about hip-hop culture, haha. Anyway, cool old samples and nice beats...

LOVE IT!
It was in my top 5 for 2008. Q-Tip surprised me with this one. His last solo wasn't that kind to my ears...it was just okay. Plus, this took so long to come out, I was unsure if it would be that good.
It just vibes so well...chill back grooves, nice beats and all the guests on it are dope.
Common and Kayne's last albums were booty, so I'm happy Q-Tip saved my hip-hop soul last month.

got the album now and LOVE IT!!
can anybody tell me what these lyrics are actually about?
ManWomanBoogie
Get down
(make it easy)
good God make it easier now
(good God make it easier now)
Get down
(man and woman get down)
good God make it easier now
(good God make it easier now)
Get down
(man and woman get down)
a dooga dooga dooga dooga duh doo
Man and woman be patrollin the earth
puttin shit in the game
citizens of the world, we runnin out
precious time is a grain of sand
ignored by the hand
(work hard man everyday)
work hard man everyday
(for who?) for another man's plan
man orders woman when he come how
get your ass in the air
(my woman wants it just as much as I do)
woman wants it just as much as he does
but makes as if she don't care
man and woman in this thing where I'm from
be havin things on their mind
minimum wage and the internet page (she cry)
protect themselves from crime
the bluest collar on the brownest of skin
white, yellow, red too
they don't care who it is, they watchin you
conspiracies so you might as well dance
gettin down Zulu
man/woman yeah you might as well dance
gettin down Zulu
c'mon, c'mon
(chorus)
gettin down is somethin between
woman and man
one minute we're so far apart and then
together we stand
gettin down is somethin between
woman and man
one minute we're so far apart and then
together we stand
men and women what's goin on inside our minds
oh no, sing it one more time c'mon
gettin down is somethin between
woman and man
one minute we're so far apart and then
together we stand
check it out
red man was the first on the continent
this you gotta understand
woman not behind him, she's right beside him there
and they both toil land
white man fightin for independence from
an old empire
woman makes a flag for a new nation and
let's the flag waves high
black woman is stripped of her kingdom and
bought the breastfeeding new
black man, mentally, he broke it too
but the cream always rise to the top
that's what men and women do
man/woman always doin the dance
one wops, one pops
we'd be lucky if we both found a groove
that we both can lock
can man be stronger if a woman is there?
I would have to say yes
can women make it without men being there?
she would have to be blessed
woman and man are the spiritual forces
brought together to live
good thing its many of us here in the world today
find a good one to give
let's go, c'mon
good God make it easier now
get down
good God make it easier now
get down
a dooga dooga dooga dooga duh doo
get down
( my favourite of the album)
