A Tribe Called Quest "the love" Instrumental

[@Styliesinceninedeuce]

This may not be credited to Dilla but I feel his style all over this groove so it sounds like Tip was definitely heavily influenced. But the craziest story about this one is that Tip played it for Biggie in hopes of getting an Ummah track on Life After Death in early 1997. Big absolutely loved the joint but couldn't use it for Life After Death since he just finished the album and turned it in to Bad Boy. Sounds like Big would've used it eventually for his 3rd album Born Again since he messed with it so heavy though as a fan. It's crazy because that could have changed the course of hip hop a bit had Big used this joint. Q Tip and Dilla would be even more household names in the rap game eating off more publishing checks on other people's joints like an official Dilla and Big collab would've been crazy. Also if Big was vibing to this, it's a stark contrast to the music from Life After Death and would've set the tone in a crazy way for his 3rd record. That's the vibe I get from this.

Nuff respect due to Dilla, but Q-Tip solely did this one. I checked it from the liner notes.

[@HypeRhymz]

Straight up, I don't even like getting into the ummah discussions myself. Fuck I mean, Tammy Lucas was supposed to be signed on as a part of the ummah. So then wed be arguing who wrote the hooks? Lol but I love what tip did with this joint. Almost wish he would've held on to it for Amplified

[@KardiFan2000]

SaySol- Ben Yehoshua I was reading an interview that Q-Tip did with Vibe...he actually made this beat for Biggie! He let Biggie hear the beat in early '97, but Biggie told him that he was tired and already finished recording the Life After Death album.

@ThePoppMonster Glad someone recognizes that Ummah wasn't all Jay Dee, but Tip said in the TCQ documentary that he only did the beats for the first 3 Tribe albums(pre-Ummah), so it could be Shaheed. Props on actually reading the liner notes of "The Love Movement" album too.

If Dilla aint make this beat, then Q-Tip bit the style. This got Dilla's drums and his fingerprints all over it.

[@KardiFan2000]

When I hear these drums, they sound EXACTLY like the drums from "Give Up The Goods" and "Drink Away The Pain", which were both produced by Q-Tip. So, no, those are not Dilla's drums. If anything, Dilla bit Pete Rock and Q-Tip's style of drum programming.

@seboufdu59 Yeah but Dilla wasn't discredited for his work on "The Love Movement", there are certain tracks in the credits where it says "J. Yancey". Only stubborn-minded Dilla fans will guess it's Dilla("listen to the beats and the drum rolls dunny dun dun,it's Dilla dunny dun dun"). It also shows that you have a huge disrespect for people like Ali Shaheed Muhammad. So of-course I'm gonna read the album jacket's credits, rather than look like a idiot by guessing.

if any of you kats were tru DILLA heads, you would know that he did 90% of the tracks on this album. He talks about it in an interview he did. Tip is great, but when he took credit for tracks he didn't do, that kinda jus threw the respect level down for me.
