Q-Tip Interview

This is a 3 Part interview with Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest on OTA Live, a hip-hop radio show on Flow 93.5 FM out of Canada. This is some very dope stuff. It's mad thorough, about 30 minutes all together but well worth the time. Tip waxes poetic on the current state of Hip-Hop, his Tribe years, working with Dilla, and clears up some questions about the origin of his name (which i was surprised to learn that he doesn't like), and the infamously difficult to understand hook from Electric Relation.

"Relax yourself girl...ease up clown"

Nah.

"Relax yourself girl, peace uptown"

Nope.

"Relax yourself girl...ah fuck it, we'll let Tip tell you..."
