yeah the Renaissance easily stands up to the Tribe albums in terms of quality (with the exception of "Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders". those albums are untouchable).Quote:

Havoc is also maad underrated.
nah i dunno about comparing the renaissance to any of the tribe albums (save love movement maybe). The whole vibe is way different from Tribe. I think it would be impossible to capture the same qualities that made the tribe albums so great in this day and age.
It was however one of the best albums of that year and proof that Q-Tip can still make excellent music if he wants.
um.....according to AllMusic.com (a very, VERY popular and well-acknowledged music publication) Q-Tip is in fact the best MC/producer of all time:
"When the best rapper/producer in hip-hop history..." so begins their review of his album The Renaissance, which they gave 4 1/2 stars. who the hell is saying Q-Tip is underrated when one of the most popular music publications is calling him the best MC/producer ever??
I was only saying that "The Renaissance" is of the same quality as the Tribe albums. I didn't say anything about it sounding like a Tribe album, because it doesn't sound like any of the albums they put out.Quote:

IMO 'Shaka' felt it could of gone on either Low End/Midnight
Great MC/Producer as stated in many earlier posts...check him out live also if you get the chance, always a dope show. I loved his last album too...no wack intros, outros, or skits, just great music throughout.
